Hello and welcome to my first post of my brand new blog , I am Marty married to the lovely Polly we are a couple of baby boomers just coming into our 60s with an empty nest so hopefully we will have a bit more time to take some more and longer trips, over the past 14 years we have winged our way around Ireland and Europe in our motorhomes but we never really kept a log of our trips so this blog is an effort to help keep track of our travels and maybe help and encourage our fellow travellers along the way. 

 Over the years particularly during the covid time we have watched the RV community grow, with that growth we have seen some improvement in the services available for motorhomes although they can still be patchy, we have a long way to go to catch up with our European cousins where motorhomes a well catered for, in-spite of one or two notable exception county councils in Ireland and the tourist board just don't get the potential in motorhome tourism in many cases putting more effort into discouraging this form of tourism with the erection of no parking signs and hight barriers when an equivalent investment in a positive way would reap a huge dividend locally. While there are individuals and groups doing fantastic work I feel until we get one strong unified national lobby group we will not see any real improvements.

At the moment our van is getting a bit of work done in spite of my musing above our blog will be about our travels and general motorhome chat. My next blog will be about our trip down to collect it. I will fill you in about what we are having done. The plan is to take the long road home taking a couple of days to get back home , so let's see where the road takes us.

 Until next time happy camping and don't forget to wave.
