Denham, Bucks 19-22 Sep 14

Another trip to test a site near to London, the Wyatts Covert Caravan Club site is fairly easily accessible from home and in quite a nice area, albeit it is a bit of a hike to the station.

Again I flew solo down to this small, friendly site and set up quickly before heading off for a bit of a walk, which ended up as a marathon hike all around the area. Eventually I met Debs at the station and returned to the bus for the evening. On Saturday we were up early and travelled the long, expensive and convoluted bus route via Heathrow airport to The Stoop to watch Quins beat Wasps and then enjoyed the similarly long journey back, just missing the bus at Heathrow and therefore having to hang around the airport for a while.

On Sunday we went for a long walk along to the Grand Union Canal, had excellent tea and cake by Denham Deep Lock, mooched around the very attractive Denham Village, had a pint and wandered back, exhausted, to the site for dinner. Debs went into work on Monday morning and I headed for home with the motorhome hitting 20,000 miles on the clock en route. Taking the van back to storage I found that the car wouldn't start, so had to use the motorhome to collect Debs from the station and to attend evening classes the following evening. Just as good as the car - and probably more economical!

As for Wyatts Covert - a nice little site but probably a little too far from the station to make it a viable London stop. Now, if we had a scooter........
