I had an eMail from Eric yesterday.

They are on their way back to the UK, internet connectivity is spa**e so he may not be able to reach the forum. They are expecting to cross the channel before the weekend.

Both Jan and Eric are suffering from the impact of the accident, which from the photo's I have seen was very severe.

Oh dear. I hope they get back home soon and can recuperate at home.
Very distressing for them to have a holiday ruined in such a fashion.

Hi all
Yes as Robert said we have been plagued with non existent internet on the campsites where we stayed.

We are at Calais and hope to cross and return home over weekend.

Going has been a bit slower than we might have planned.

The truth is, hitching up a caravan, steering a car for 3 or so hours and then pitching at a campsite (with all leg winding, toilet emptying, fresh and grey water container lugging) was a lot more painful than I expected. I have needed a rest day with my arms not outstretched and doing something, after each stage.

Poor old sod. :lol:



I didn't send ALL the photos of my wifes body to Robert....don't want to put him off his food.
:lol:


Looking forward to getting home and regrouping...lots to organise and sort.

Not the least is the purchase of another vehicle. Jan wants to buy a used chieftain tank ...to ensure this doesn't happen again. But I don't think they do them in her preferred colours and not sure I could afford the fuel or insurance.

:lol:

No matter what size vehicle you get there is always something bigger that can flatten it ;~).

Just come back from a break myself, camping on Skye, which included a nasty near miss. One of those, if anything coming the other way when the b*****d pulled out on me moments.......but nothing compared to this.

I'm so sorry to hear about your accident and my thoughts are with you, wishing you both a speedy recovery.

I was also on steroids for a conditions for many years and I know only to well the resulting bruiseability.

I hope you've made it home and are now on the road to recovery, our thought are with you.

You need one of these

Although I don't think the insurance payout on your Volvo would cover it

:lol:

It is the fuel to run it as well that kills the wallet.
I think that insurance on it is relatively cheap as long as you dont want to go over minefields. Not much is going to damage it!

Welcome back to the UK.
I hope that you and Jan can relax a bit now.
