I dont know about anyone else, but if Peter was to bring some of his sunshine then I would welcome him and his wife to our shores whenever they liked!
Im from Wales, the south west coast, and you absolutely must get down there if you have a chance! I can highly recommend Tretio campsite, near St Davids in Pembrokeshire. The campsite is immaculate and friendly, the cathedral at St Davids is overwhelming, even for the least religious of people, and its lovely wandering around The Smallest City in the UK- lovely home-made ice cream there, too! The whole county of Pembrokeshire really is something to treasure, particularly in the summertime, when everything is in bloom, and its bustling with tourists. In fact, just thinking of it all has made me quite sad that i moved away! Just been back down at Easter though, and will be there again in August.
Hope you guys have a fabulous time planning your adventure, hopefully one day soon we'll be bumping into you on our sites!
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Don't just visit York if you're coming to Yorkshire, there are so many beautiful places in Yorkshire, Moors, Dales and Coast, great way to see it, take a steam train ride across the Yorkshire Moors on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. There are some beautiful stately homes, abbies and castles up here too.
The Lake District, Wales, Northumberland and the Cotswolds would also all be on a 'not to miss' list of places to visit. Liverpool is also one of our favourite cities to visit.
Hope you get back soon and enjoy it again Peter.

Hi Peter, what a great post and I loved reading all the replies too. If you want to hire a motorhome in the UK then you don't necessarily have to stay on a campsite unless you need to stay for more than one night that is. However if you are just touring daily then there is a facility just for motorhome 'one night' stop overs that doesn't cost anything and as payment the locals just appreciate you just buying from them such as a meal at the pub you stay at over night etc. As an English citizen myself I can say that Scotland has some wonderful picturesque countryside and Wallaces Monument is actually one place I would like to visit in the future myself. Next time you come just bring some of that wonderful sunshine with you.
Sometimes it takes a visitors eye view to realise what a lovely place is on the doorstep (Stonehenge and Salisbury cathedral are on mine and I rarely visit )
Thank you Peter, I do hope you enjoy your trip when you come back to the British Isles, looks like you'll need a few months eh?
------------- Still trying to get the packing right.
tango, recommend this site as you can see the Wallace Monument from your pitch and it has the lovely Ochil Hills behind it.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Peter - Just a thought about the Yorkshire leg of your expedition.
We have the Tour de France cycle race here for a couple of days in 2014, I think on 5th & 6th July. Campsites in the areas near the route will be booked up long in advance. So, if you want to see the race give it some thought, and if you dont you can plan round it!

Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
