Bessie, Mike and Me: Ireland and Scotland in six weeks . . . by motorhome

by Jackie Williamson, Lesley Hall-Wood (Illustrator)

This travelogue is the account of a six-week trip around Ireland and Scotland by motorhome in the early summer of 2017. It will be useful to motor-homers and caravanners who may be planning a similar tour, especially when it comes to the difficulties of driving a large vehicle along roads that were originally designed for horses and carts. It differs from standard travel books in that it's about visiting popular tourist destinations but keeping away from the busy hotspots. Written in a light-hearted and sometimes self-deprecating style, it includes daily mileage, ideas for stop-overs, snippets of history, personal observations, original drawings and lots of photographs. Bessie, Mike and Me is unique in that it offers a more offbeat type of tour, and the author's love of both countries shines through it pages.

Informative travelogue that has inspired my future holiday planning. Oh for a motorhome! Then again I’m partial to a nice hotel! 😂
