We’ve got a map!

Google Maps, Maps

I’ve been pondering on adding a map for a couple of weeks. Somehow looking at where you have been on a map is a bit more memorable and interesting than just looking down a list, well for me it is. I guess though that’s due to the fact that flying and maps are so intertwined I’ve spent so much time in the past pouring over maps for flying in various parts of the world than I have ever done caravanning.

Actually creating the map was fairly easy using Google Maps and then embedding the map in an iframe in the WordPress page. The only thing that you need to do is create a Google account if you don’t already have one and create your own map and start adding the map pins. There is a lot of useful info to be found on the Google Maps support page. For embedding it into your WordPress theme, it’s quite simple and its all explained on the WordPress support page for Google Maps.

Anyway, if you want to look at this marvellous cartographical creation… the link is on the top menu bar…. or you can just click on Trip Map.

Thanks for reading

Our first attempt at packing the caravan up went rather well… we were up early, I’d cooked breakfast again and we had washed up and stowed everything away. During the course of breakfast we had reflected on the first two nights… and what had been a firm decision on the type of caravan we wanted had to be revisited. We definitely wanted a full rear washroom and we definitely wanted a fixed bed! There was a turn about, after looking at fixed beds back at Glossop Caravans a few weeks ago and deciding they were not for us… we had decided a fixed bed was the way forward. We had also revised our list of things we thought we wanted… but this was very flexible at the moment.

It only took us 20 minutes to pack everything away and hitch up… which was surprising, I’d read stories of people spending all morning packing up and hitching up. I had the feeling we were not getting this right somehow. We finally drove round the access road to Kelvedon Hatch at just before 10:30 in the morning and set off for Canterbury.
