I’ve been a bit slow getting going with the van this year, for various reasons (a bad chest infection that has knocked me about being a contributing factor). But we’re away this weekend in it. OH is a vet and organises a zoo vet conference, which is happening this year at Whipsnade Zoo on Friday, so we’ve booked a site nearby and going up Thursday and back Sunday. Should be a nice airing of the van and getting back into the swing of things. I did take it for a spin the other day, checked oil, tyres and topped up the adblue. The leisure battery has been been on charge so is fine.
We do have 3.5 weeks planned in Spain later (Plymouth to Santander), and a few other smaller trips. We’ve got Tigg a pet passport so don’t have to worry about the paperwork for him now for foreign trips.
I did see there is a (recent) change in the rules to get into Spain. Not sure how well this is policed. This is from the UK gov site, but a quick Google shows it’s been in the news recently too.
At Spanish border control, you may need to show: … - proof of your travel insurance - you have enough money for your stay - the amount varies depending on your accommodation

The Channel was like a millpond this morning and the weather is glorious in Belgium. Currently tanking down the motorway towards Germany to find somewhere nice to stay overnight.

Have found an aire just south of Koblenz, overlooking the Rhine which looks like the perfect spot for the night
