WELCOME TO THE MAN VAN NO PLAN BLOG
Hi Folks,
Welcome (back) to the ManVanNoPlan Blog. As I haven’t posted a blog post since we came back from Spain in late March, I thought I would post this short message to update you on life in lockdown here in Ardrishaig.
Bessie is in storage and hopefully we will be getting her out and prepared to get back on the road in late July or August. For the rest of this year we will be staying in the UK but are booked to be back at El Campello on the Costa Brava in mid January. You can see that the Navigator is prepared with her post Brexit 90 day Journal to record our road trip. Read more about this, and other motorhome travel Journals below.
Like most people, we have stayed within a 5 mile radius of home since lockdown began in March, the only exception being to attend the funeral of The Navigator’s mother who passed away in mid May.
Regular readers of our blog posts will remember that we used to start and end every trip by visiting the Care Home so future trips will not quite be the same again.
At some point this year we will have to travel down to the East Midlands for Bessie to get the much delayed habitation check and that will probably be the furthest south we venture this year. The rest of our trips will be confined to Scotland as there are many areas we have not been to for some time.
As soon as the travel restrictions are lifted our family will be travelling here for a visit which we are looking forward to. Modern technology has kept us in touch via video links, but it is not the same as spending quality time together. Our granddaughter is coming on leaps and bounds and learning new words every day and beginning to string them together so granny and bampa are looking forward to her visit.

FYNE EDITIONS
During the lock down I started another website (www.fyneeditions.co.uk) and created created a selection of Motorhome, Camper Van, Caravan and Vanlife Journals. The Navigator has always used a notebook to write down our travel details to help me put together this blog but they were not ideal so I decided to devise the ultimate in journals and that’s how Fyne Editions came about. However, things have snowballed since then and there are now 150+ titles online and sales are growing steadily, with the NC500 title by far the best seller so far. The books are published under the Fyne Editions imprint, and yes, the name Fyne is spelled correctly and it refers to Loch Fyne, on Scotland’s Argyll coastline, which we can see from our front window.
Maybe starting a travel based publishing enterprise during a global lock-down was not going to lead to great riches, or even any riches, but now that we are all getting out and about again things are taking off. The books are printed, delivered and sold by Amazon so clicking on any image takes you to the product page there. If you are an Amazon Prime member the delivery will be FREE, or if not, buying two of our titles qualifies for FREE DELIVERY as Amazon book orders over £10 qualify.
As well as being an essential accessory on our travels, they also make a great Christmas, birthday, retirement or anniversary present for a family member, friend or colleague, in fact anyone you know with a motorhome or camper van etc. Clicking on any image takes you to that title’s Amazon page and you can read more about the title there and (of course) order.
Click on the “look inside” tab on the Amazon image and you will see the titles internal layout.
