Troll Trek, Series 1 Episode 2: Heading For The Hills.

Day 2 

(Day 1 here

There are many advantages to having a bigger camper. One not on that list is its lack of ability to access insanely placed houses. 

This is as close as we could get.


Lugging our luggage up to the Hydeaway is a skill in need of refining. It involved several bags of clothes, food, groans and moans. All of which helped us collapse into comatose sleep later that first night. 

And so to our second day away. Today we have had to hang around the Hydeaway, waiting for a man to come and drag our medieval electrical system into the twenty first century. I wish him luck. 

Surprisingly it only took him a few minutes. Now the whole world can access our electrical status. I'm sure they will be much amused.

While awaiting this tricky task to be done, we relaxed around the house, the kids experimenting with potions in the garden, while I tried to figure out why a butterfly bush was so named...




Once the electrics were sorted, updated and opened up to posterity, we went for a quick visit to the local stone throwing contest...

We then repacked the Troll and headed for the hills, the moon setting before us...

Our first stop was to be our favourite mountain foodery...

...then came out first night in Trevor...

(Authors Note: The outbreak of World War 3 was narrowly avoided just before this photo was taken...)

Tomorrow, we head inside the Pyrenees. I'm told that no earthquakes are forecast...
