So, if we are not going to bus around the perimeter of England, where shall we go? We have been active members of the Small Motorhome Community for years and they are having a twentieth anniversary meet in Teversal near Nottingham in April and one of the more northerly members Gregor is hosting a met up in the borders at Melrose afterwards. So an obvious choice might be to join friends at both of those and on into Scotland. But we’ve toured Scotland and the Islands a few times now, so another option would be to head over to Stranraer after Melrose and tour the Emerald Isle again.
Readers of our Busabout blog will know that in 2000, literally days before Covid clamped the country down Liz and I travelled the length of the country from Southampton to Carlisle and then over the border to Gretna using our pensioner’s concessionary bus pass. Over 450 miles of free travels (and not so free hotels!). Sadly a pressing appointment meant train rather than buses back home, but a good thing perhaps with Covid just starting to become rife.
