It’s been a wet December so it was nice to wake up to a nice sunny Sunday morning. It was a projected 300 miles from East Devon to Harrogate and Google predicted a journey time of 5 hours and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual mileage was 304 and it took 5 hours and 10 minutes. Not a single hold-up which must be a first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner was a steak pie and salad. The steak pie cooked to perfection in the latest addition to Nellie – the Ninja “Crispi” portable air fryer. This is a game changer for easy-cooking in the campervan – Nellie comes with two gas burners but no oven capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sunday evening I met the latest addition to Steve’s family. Eddie, a lovely Golden Retriever pup who accompanied us to the local bar “Berties”. <\/p>\n\n\n

I’m solo camping at “Shaws Trailer park” which is perfectly placed to transit into Harrogate and have a nice hard-standing plot. As I may have commented previously, the toilet facilities are very old and basic, but have received a lick of paint and had been meticulously cleaned.<\/p>\n\n\n

On returning to the van, the embers of the sunny day had long vanished and the rain and winds descended on this little corner of Harrogate. Heavy rain is forecast for the next 24 – 36 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
