We will soon be heading off on our trip to the Continent. We leave home and head to BAAfest in Bellingham for the weekend and then catch the ferry from Newcastle to Ijmuiden. Our faithfull motorhome "Roady" will be our transport and accomodation for the 83 day we will be away, it would have been more but thanks to Brex(sh)it we can only stay for a maximum of 90 day. We intend to miss most of Holland as we intend to do that again as a shorter trip. We haven't visited many places in Belgium, so Bruge is on our list and a few other interesting places we have found. Continuing through France down the Atlantic coast and into northern Spain and then into Portugal. Finally returning via Santander to Portsmouth ferry in December.

The main entrance being at the relative position of Wellington. The caves played a significant part in the Battle Of Arras in the WW1 and provided shelter for the local inhabitants in WW2.
