In Summary.....

Mr Happy:

Travelled 821 miles over 450 with  Le Puck on the back and did not miss a beat, which is testament to Simon and the Boys at Absolute VW who gave the rattly engine a bit of seeing to before we set off, also when you consider it is a 1600 single port it coped well with extra weight and only had to to change down once on the steepest part of the Ridgeway (A34) we did do few hills at 40mph however. The overall mpg was 23.6. So really impressed overall

Le Puck:

Towed well and aside from disgracing itself by losing both wheel trims was fine. The roof canvas definitely needs changing as it does add a certain "musty" aroma to the inside.

Camping Chateau le Colombier

Not its fault it was in the wrong place, that was my lousy geography but was good with decent size pitches and spotless toilet blocks, how it copes when it is full as there well over 100 pitches who knows.

Brittany Ferries:

Suitably slik, two very smooth crossings in Commodore (posh) cabins but bloody expensive!

Overall a good holiday with mixed weather and too much driving on the autoroutes to get to the bits we wanted to see, but would definitely go to the area again.

Next up Cornwall..................................
