From a farm stay with chooks and turkeys to a field behind the Red Lion, a C17 hotel near Winfrith in Dorchester, we’re on a seemingly long trek east to Cambridge to return our campervan. By Australian standards it’s not a huge distance but the traffic and road systems (and avoiding large population centres) make it rather more challenging - and slow going. The pub is great but the ‘camping’ amenities leave a little to be desired, but we had a huge pub meal and woke to a rather lovely misty morning.

We continued eastward with an overnight stop Crowborough and a delightful catch up with a fellow passenger from our 2022 Iceland expedition. From there it was straight onto the London Ring Road, what a shocker! but we arrived still sane in Roseberry a wee bit north of Cambridge and almost at the end of our journey.

Next day we returned the van in Cambridge and spent a couple of nights eating up our stores and resting in preparation for our 17000 Km flight home, a ghastly 22.5 hours (with 2hr to change planes in Dubai).
