Stop over at Le Mont Bruyere, Saint Amand les Eaux

It’s taken a while to start adding more updates from our tour of France in the summer, so a series of updates will follow.

We visited the Tour de France in Dunkirk where Duncan met Geraint Thomas and collected the famous Gilet.

We stayed here for at Saint Amand les Eaux for a couple of nights, visiting the tour in. Dunkirk and the cobbles.

I spent a day editing and looking after the dogs whilst everyone visited the tour in the cobbles.

Got a PowerOak Power Bank

I’ve got a new PowerOak /Bluetti AC50S power bank and I’ve been using this to power the TV off grid and charge laptops. I do have an inverter fitted to the van as well although this provides more flexibility and allows me to be mobile with power around the van. It’s also sufficiently mobile to take with me to recharge my drone batteries and camera batteries away from the van. It’s a great addition to our kit.

I used it a the International Campervan and Overland show in Stratford and at our overnight park up in Lancaster on the way home.
