Grandad's War diaries to support Italy trip!

Here are some ideas for Italy. My Grandad composed his War diaries meticulously (subsequently typed and organised by Dad), and there are many routes in Italy and places he stayed, stopped or was deployed. So here is another map trial of his initial movements during 1944. We may combine some of our movements to coincide with his movements an amazing 70 years ago!

Warm up event

We have safely returned from a basic good motorhome test. We have yet to commit to trying and using all the features inside the van.e.g. heating, hot water, shower etc, but we covered 550 miles all successfully. It has been comfortable to drive, although things do rattle and shake quite a bit. I am quite happy as when we stayed under 60mph ( the van being capable of much more), we averaged 27-28 mpg. Not that I want the whole trip to become an economy drive, but it does help!Thank you Jo and Paul,Great Grandma and Great Grandad, Dad and Kathryn (Grandma and Grandad)for a lovely trip, lots of super food and drink, and for all your help and well wishes with our mad adventure!

Lovely time at Jo and Paul's

First location done.  As you can see, here we have lowered the tone and blocked the view at Jo and Paul's.  A lovely trip.  Thanks to some good friends for a lovely quick break and lots of helpful advice.
