November turned out to be a quieter month with camping than planned due to severe flooding in Monmouth.
I did manage one of the nights planned camping on my friend's drive and my first parkrun in Monmouth at the beginning of the month. It was raining so I didn't pop the roof and folded the bench seat flat. it was a warm night and I didn't need to put the heating on.
I was able to get away this weekend and went to the Forest of Dean for the day. I stopped for a picnic on route. My route to Swindon, the A417 was closed after Cheltenham due to work at the former Hot Air Balloon, plus the ground was saturated from all the rain so the parkrun was cancelled and walk my friend and I were doing afterwards in the Cotswolds and our pub carpark camping was rearranged to the weekend just gone.
The campervan has been packed for the last few weeks with items to be dropped at my mums and gifts for child 2 and family including a spare christmas tree for granddaughters bedroom.
There's a little bit of maintenance to be done, mainly cleaning. The water tanks need flushing out, the leisure batteries need to be charged once a month to maintain the charge and the heater needs to be run from time to time, which we'll do when we go out and about and have picnics and coffees.
I was away on the weekend in the campervan. I had a fully serviced pitch, it's all that was available. It meant I had water and electric.
