Your favourite photos

We asked you to share the photographs that trigger your happiest memories and always make you smile. Here are some of the best from this month...

This was taken in July 2020 on our way to north Wales. We parked up for the night overlooking Clywedog Reservoir and this is what we woke up to.

This is a photo taken of my partner, Rhoda, through the entrance door of our Bürstner Solano in late September 2020 at the (free) French waterside aire at Port du Diben, Plougasnou, Brittany. A truly wonderful location with coastal walks on both sides and an ever-changing view over the sheltered harbour. My caption for the photograph would be “Cruising in a motorhome”!

As we got closer to the beautiful city of Carcassonne whilst travelling around France in September 2018, we had to take a moment just to stop and stare. It seemed that someone had gone crazy with a pot of yellow paint and painted stripes on the walls of the citadel.

Closer inspection revealed that it was actually a piece of contemporary art, Cercles Concentriques Excentriques (concentric eccentric circles), created by artist, Felice Varini, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of registration of the city of Carcassonne as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The stripes looked totally random until you stood in precisely the correct place, allowing the circles to form.

Weird, but also surprisingly magical.

In September 2020, we completed the NC500 route around the coast of Scotland. Coming from the south we started at Dumfries, went to Skye and then followed the coastline clockwise to Inverness. From there we drove through the Cairngorms and spent a few nights at Edinburgh.

We are pictured on Applecross Peninsula, having just driven over the Bealach na Bà mountain pass in torrential rain and storm clouds. Despite Storm Aiden, this was a fantastic tour and Gertrude, our motorhome, performed admirably.

Early morning at Wolfgangsee, Austria. Our first motorhoming venture abroad, in 2017, was a 5,000-mile, three-month tour of eight countries. One of the many happy memories is this beautiful lakeside campsite.

We like to use or motorhome, Koni, throughout the whole of the year. On the spur of the moment, as we could still travel within Wales at the time, we decided to take a short threenight break to Red Kite Touring Park, located in Llanidloes.

During our stay, we took a drive to the Elan Valley, which is a series of connected reservoirs, named Caban Coch, Claerwen, Pen y Garreg, Garreg Ddu and Craig Goch.

These reservoirs were originally constructed over the past 100 years, to supply clean, fresh water to Birmingham and the local area. Birmingham receives an average of 365 megalitres (a megalitre is one million litres) per day, travelling 73 miles purely by gravitational force. The dams produce 3.9 megawatts of renewable energy for the National Grid.
