25 May 2026 York

Had a cycle last night to cool down spotted a couple of Boaterhomes. And how unusual a shopping trolly.

Walk into town for coffee and shopping then had a cycle to cool down again an interesting fact due to all the odd things that are happening and silly things I thought I was on a different planet then how scary on my cycle I saw a sign telling me how far away earth is.

must of took a wrong turning when cycling to the moon and back in Tynemouth.  If any one knows how to get back to earth let me know.

Another cycle out to Acomb and The Railway museum.

Another cycle this evening. Managed to find some new streets.

Up nice and early on another lovely day for a walk into York so I could get a coffee without having to wait 10 mins or so.

I have been on this site lots of times but never noticed the brown hedges before.

Back into town for another walkabout was going to buy some shopping in M&S but the que for payment reached all the way to Bridlington HaHa?

Great to see this fly over the site.

Was looking at the fair ground WOW look at the size now of the winning prizes.

Yesterday I did a check on availability on this site on the 25th gosh single person site full two persons availability.

A moaning day today must be due to the hot weather I am having 29 Degrees in the van.

Picture below from Whitby site rained the day after they cut the grass so every time I returned to the van had a new lawn

Hawes campsite not many none awning pitches blue and most under the trees on uneven ground.

The shower I cleaned 30 mins after cleaning Ugh!

18 May 2026 Stockton

Last night thought I would have a short? cycle along the river and I was inspired by the route so decided to go all the way to Middlesbrough wow what a fab ride  and the town was so quiet like Stockton

70 years ago was the last time I went across this bridge wow FAB to be back.

This morning cycled into Stockton and again at lunchtime to see The Stockton Flyer.

Back for some shopping and coffee on the industrial estate this is one of the few in England that has a sign in the premises warning violence will not be torrerated.

Thought I would get a couple of Sausage rolls while here (Normal price £2.70 in here £3.10 ###)

On the way back from Middlesbrough chased by these.

17 May 2026 Stockton

I wondered why some of the motorhome club sites have no food bins ? they have 3 here. Was watching the warden clean the toilet block he came out after mopping the floor and with the same mop washed the chemical toilet disposal area with the same mop !

Walk about in Durham before leaving spotted the miners hall down by the bus station lovely building The miners parade here is a fab attraction to see.

I can remember years ago when they started building this and still work going on ? (Bus Station)

While sitting here having my coffee I noticed not a Pigeon in sight.

How I like my busy shopping centres.

Good drive down about 40 mins after lunch had a cycle into Stockton still empty no people about will have an evening cycle and tomorrow will try to find some streets I have not been down before.
