Introducing Molly’s Folks

Meet Molly!

Hello Family and Friends

Many of you will have followed our travels in 2018, as we journeyed across all ten of Canada’s provinces – in Lulu.  We have hankered after having our own MoHo ever since.  Our dreams have been answered, and we’ve recently purchased Molly  (we are her ‘folks’!)

Molly will become our 2nd home – she is fully fitted with kitchen, toilet and shower, plus all mod cons.  We have no need to use a public toilet or any ‘onsite’ facilities, hence we can keep totally safe during the Covid Pandemic.

For those who like statistics, she is 21ft long (6.3 metres), and is within the 3500kg allowed, to be driven without an HGV licence.   She has central heating,  and aircon in the cab to make driving more comfy,  and a good sized awning to roll out when we get to sunny climes.

We spent a happy three nights at a Malvern campsite – practicing!  Getting our heads around how everything works, and finding the right space for all those bits and pieces that you think you should have ‘just in case’.  Four very rainy days and nights in mid Wales near Rhayader, not only proved that Molly is watertight, but also helped us to work out where to hang dripping wet clothes and how to deal with damp walking shoes!

The sun DID shine, sometimes!  We were very near the source of the River Wye. 

And NOW THE FUN BEGINS . . . . . . . Thanks to COVID 19, trips across the channel have been put on hold.  However there is SO MUCH of UK that we have not visited . . . . .

Scotland and the North 500 route becons!  We’re looking forward to a three week touring holiday from next week.  I shall add to the blog every few days, to let you know where we’ve stayed, what we’ve seen, recommendations and what to avoid!  Needless to say, if you’re not interested, please ignore all this  – we will not be offended . . . . . .

  2. Dear Marilyn & Peter.

    Greetings from a wet New Forest! We are so pleased to learn that you have joined the Moho family! The reason you need an awning in the UK is more for rain protection than sun! We spent 2 nights on a lovely site at Hoarwithy a couple of weeks ago when it was so hot, just to chill and enjoy the river. We must meet up sometime soon.
    Have you come across the Brit Stops book? Worth looking at. If you need any other hints & tips, then we are 2 years in, so pleased to help. We really want to drive to Iznájar next month, but like you we will not go against FCO travel advice. I think it will be next year before we can 😢
    Happy travels.
    Love Elizabeth & Steve xx

  5. What fun! We’ve been too embarrassed to tell many of our friends that we bought a caravan 18 months ago. For holidays of course -but this summer it’s been great; 3 trips with our own socially distanced accommodation visiting family and friends. See you on the 500!

    Just to let you know Chris had a successful operation to implant a pacemaker yesterday and feels fine today.

    A step in the right direction now to rebuild his fitness.

    happy campering,

  14. What a lovely idea. Like you, I have gathered a long list of U.K. places I want to revisit (largely from a job that entailed travelling all round the country with no time to stop off ). Enjoy, I look forward to reading about it.

  16. Thank you for adding my name to the list of people who can follow “The Adventures of Molly”. I did so enjoy hearing about all your travels in Canada and now look forward to knowing the UK a little better.

    For all of us unable to travel outside of our immediate areas right now, it will be a joy to travel along with you.

    Happy travels! We look forward to your postings.
