The travelling Mcwillies.
Our Motor home travels.

We are now on our return leg of our trip through Europe and find ourselves heading north through France towards Calais.
Follow our journey at the bottom of this page.
Please note that this web site is purely a diary of our travels
and doesn't pretend to be a proffessional VLOG.

Please use the 'timeline' page to get straight to the page that you want to view if it's not on the side bar menu.

We used our Google maps time line to make sure that the pages on our web site were in the correct order.

Hyperlinks in green have been added to make it easier to navigate around our site.

You will find that some of the entries in the time line are still grey because they are not linked to pages as they are purely reminders for us and there may not be a page for that memory.

Just click on the green link/page that you would like to go to.
