As Kaa the jungle book snake so wonderfully put it " Thas is going to slow down my slithers " . On route from Marlborough to Bath today we had our first breakdown. Luckily we had popped in to see Mum and Dad, when we went to leave and turn on the van, the engine wouldn't start. So....... the RAC man was called and lots of tea was drunk. It turns out that we don't have anything too serious wrong, just a problem with the electrical feed to the starter motor. Hopefully just a loose connection in the dashboard, but to be on the safe side Chris was shown how to start it with a screw driver to short the circuit!
Other than that the first few days out on the road have gone pretty well. Our first stop was in Marlborough, not far I know but we will get more adventurous I promise! We have spent three nights on a Forestry commision campsite in Savernake forest. The weather has been great, and a fantastic (if somewhat hilly) cycle ride was had yesterday afternoon up over Pewsey down and past some of the white horses.
We have been changing plans constantly this week so sorry everyone if we said we'd meet you somewhere and have changed the date MANY times!!
