Shortly after mid-day we embark on a roadtrip around the SW England coast.
I've made no plan other than some bullet points of destination stops.
I a bit nervous because I usually like to plan things in detail - finding campsites each day is my biggest concern.
Hopefully it'll all add to the excitement and make the experience a good one.

Off on my long awaited road trip around the South West coast of England tomorrow.
Much as I try not to be a clichéd Brit and moan about the weather it appears that it's gonna be quite dangerous to my health.

It’s a myth that Bristol is the UK’s coolest city

Letters: This myth that masks the city’s deprivation problems is perpetuated by the privileged alumni of Bristol University who barely ever stepped out of Clifton and its leafy surrounds, says Jane Ghosh

All the camping stuff is now bought ready for next week's road trip.
I'm wondering if I can maybe grab a quick overnighter on Dartmoor to test it out.

From my penthouse I get a good, and relatively close, view of planes taking off and landing at Bristol airport.
By (possibly?) some quirk of geography though I can't hear them at all.

@aroundthehills I'm just about to nip out to the supermarket before it gets too fierce.

I need to go to the shop - it's about 5 or so minutes walk each way.
I'm scared of the sunshine though.

I'm sat out on our balcony, chilling in the sunshine.
