Today was handover day – Toby and Sarah drove up in\u00a0Mum and Dad’s campervan ‘Zena’, and then swapped so Mum and Dad could continue their holidays in Zena whilst Toby and Sarah will take Oliver back home to Heyford Fields over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Much like the hire boat bases, today was our handover day. It’s amazing how much stuff you can fit into a campervan, and even more so a narrowboat. Mum had got everything super-prepared so everything was ready to go when we arrived, and it didn’t take long to swap all their stuff out of Oliver and into Zena, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Sarah ensured we won’t go hungry for the next 3 weeks; the pantry is now fit to burst with all the food in it, thanks in part to the work a few weeks ago by Barry to add some new shelving.<\/p>\n

With the jobs out of the way it was then time for some fun – off to the\u00a0Pontcysyllte aqueduct<\/a>\u00a0to check out the views and see what we’d be letting ourselves in for tomorrow! The obligatory group selfie had to be done – apologies to Mum but we couldn’t fit you all in along with the aqueduct!<\/p>\n

We then made our way in Zena to Mum and Dad’s campsite, which is by the impressive ruins of the old\u00a0Valle Crucis Abbey<\/a>. \u00a0After a very quick stop there we walked to the\u00a0Horseshoe Falls<\/a>, after a slight detour due to some wonky navigational directions! The walk was well worth it though with some beautiful scenery and lovely tranquil settings.<\/p>\n
