Monday 29th June 2026

This morning we waved goodbye to our german pals and headed off north east. We stopped at Hume at this laundrette.

After nearly two weeks travel we had a lot of washing to do. The card reader was a bit dodgy rejecting payment from my Nationwide credit and debit cards but accepting my Tesco credit card!?

There are stickers on the washers and dryers warning customers not to put their dog, cat or parrot into the machines! I couldn't decide whether these were a joke or whether the owners thought that there was a possibility that customers might put their pet into a machine.

Ann did some window and mirror cleaning while the washing was doing it's thing.

This stall just across from the laundrette sells strawberries, peas and potatoes. There is a card machine inside for people to use to pay for their purchases.

The washing and drying done we moved on north east. At one point our route was temporarily blocked following a road accident so we diverted into Hirtshals and bought a couple of things at Lidl before getting back on route, servicing the van and stopping for the day at the end of a minor road in the dunes near Skagen. Here's the view out of the front of our van.

It's a beautiful place but very, very windy!

I ventured out.

I climbed up a dune. Very hard going in the soft fine sand.

From the top of the dune I could see the north sea not far away.

The vegetation on the dune was blowing around a lot.

I retraced my steps.

There were several other vans staying over.

Today we travelled 104 miles (167 kilometres). We are at: N57.71968 E10.51038
