Thuringia

Not long after we arrived back at the Unicat workshop, the incomparable Lars and Inge turned up from Denmark. They have bought a 45-year-old Volvo C303 and wanted to try it out for camping. This is a magnificent 4×4 ex-military vehicle. Enormously capable off-road and with a bit more space than a Land Rover to live in.

We met them near Rothenberg and spent the next day exploring the ancient walled city. Interesting place with some lovely old buildings. Very quiet because of the Covid but that actually quite suited us. We are not very happy in crowds.

From there we went on a bit of a tour of Thuringia. Rolling hills and colourful autumnal forests. Autumnal weather as well – mostly cold and damp. We found some lovely areas to drive in. Walked in the woods and explored an old castle.

A week later, Lars and Inge had to get back home. Diane and I continued pottering for another week and then headed back to the Unicat workshop. Hopefully, by now, some of the stuff on order for Baloo has arrived.
