Travelling in a Box. Sofa travel notes from Mike Wood - probably the most untravelled travel writer in the world. Thursday, 25 June 2015. It was all going so well until the soap bubbles started coming out of the wardrobe. There are bubbles coming out of the wardrobe! But more on that later. The site itself is excellent. There is even an electric hookup - very rare on a THS - so my fears of having to ration the battery life on my laptop are unfounded. Yes, suds were coming out from under the wardrobe door...

Travelling in a Box. Sofa travel notes from Mike Wood - probably the most untravelled travel writer in the world. Saturday, 22 February 2014. For our season opener in 2014 we have come to The National Forest. In the East Midlands. There were no trees here a few years ago. Now they have planted over eight million of them, and it seems to be a fantastic idea. Could there be any better way of revitalising a blighted, industrially scarred area? I can't think of one. They have done wonders with the canal, it'...

Travelling in a Box. Sofa travel notes from Mike Wood - probably the most untravelled travel writer in the world. Sunday, 19 April 2015. With Sheila Kiggins outside Camping and Caravan Club Offices. For me, the big event was my first visit to the London Book Fair at Olympia. I hadn’t appreciated just how big this event was. I had my smart phone step counter switched on and realized later that I’d done nearly seven miles walking around the exhibition space. Seven miles! Labels: Camping and Caravanning Club.

Travelling in a Box. Sofa travel notes from Mike Wood - probably the most untravelled travel writer in the world. Thursday, 5 March 2015. Season Opener - Oxford. A so-so photo of Radcliffe Square enhanced beyond all recognition and without prompting by Google. Thanks guys. Well, you could ask for an old ham, and even here Oxford delivers. The world's oldest ham, in fact, hanging in a butcher's in the market, with a certificate to prove it. I love this. A whole year beckons. Location: Oxford, Oxford, UK.

Travelling in a Box. Sofa travel notes from Mike Wood - probably the most untravelled travel writer in the world. Tuesday, 23 April 2013. Back in an Alpine. We bought on old Avondale, and she was okay, but suffered from damp. She did the trick for 10 years but the damp was always going to win. She was a comfortable ‘van but I have to confess I always missed the little Alpine and her quirky eccentricities. She’s wonderful. She’s called Sally. Sally Swift. I’m moaning a lot, aren’t I? Or as a paperback.

Travelling in a Box. Sofa travel notes from Mike Wood - probably the most untravelled travel writer in the world. Tuesday, 22 July 2014. What makes for a good caravan site location? So what makes for a good caravan site location? Shelter from sun and wind. Right now I'm in Weymouth, at a Dorset DA temp site. The big thrill for us was finding that it's only an eight minute walk to a big, bright, air-conditioned Sainsbury's. Oh, and the other thing: we love Weymouth. The old harbour, the eateries, the ...

Then I start to wonder about how the hall might have looked back in 1765 when it was new. The marble floors were perfect and unmarked. There would have been a smell of paint and fresh plaster everywhere, a little like going into a Wimpy show-home but factored up a bit. The park would be, I don’t know, bare? Or as a paperback.
