Early Beginnings

All things have a starting point, and so too with 'A New Adventure'. The broad plan is a comprehensive grand tour of 'old Europe' in a motorhome lasting anything from 6-12 months - maybe longer. Enjoyment, budget and inclination will be the guiding factors. Autumn and winter 2012/13 to be spent on the Mediterranean coast.

So ....

Entrance to the world's biggest Motorhome exhibition. Visit aimed at new 2012 models and left-hand drives. Lots to look at and lots to learn over two full days in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Joan sampling the 'vans - this a Carthago!
Very pricey.

And then 4 days at the Mohne Dam east of Dortmund (Ruhrgebiet of Dam Busters 1943 fame) for some reflection.

Next is a visit to the NEC Birmingham, where the British 'vans are to be viewed, and a final choice to be made; weekend of 15-16 October 2011.
