Travelling tales

Bloggger Jenny Jones

Jenny reminisces over a year's travelling, and plans a big trip to Morocco for 2008

It’s now a year since we bought The Lady and thus an opportune time to review the past year. We’ve travelled around seven countries, in comfort, covering 10975km (6860 miles) and used 1100 litres (245 gallons) of diesel in the process, at an average consumption of 10kms/litre or, in old money, a healthy 28mpg.

Cost wise we’ve spent about £3000, divided almost equally between insurance and servicing costs, diesel fuel, ferries and ‘white van man’ damage. For the amount of enjoyment we have had, and the variety of interesting places we have seen, that represents, to this novice motorhomer’s way of thinking, excellent value.

Despite one or two hair raising moments, not once has The Lady proved to be anything other than totally reliable and we look forward to more adventures in 2008.

Talking of the coming year I was supposed to be doing the homework on Morocco but Christmas sped up on me virtually unnoticed. I am aware that there are websites of motorhomers who’ve travelled extensively through Morocco so I really must get on and find them.

Some of my friends seem nervous at the idea of us travelling throughout Morocco in the Lady and are counselling me against it. However, Morocco apparently has less crime than one experiences in most of Europe so I am determined to keep an open mind and get on with the planning.

If there is anyone reading this who has been, I’d welcome an email to motor caravan@ipcmedia.com
