Welcome to The Steven Family website

June

We started the month with a rare visit to the cinema to see Powerballad. It was very good. We followed it up with a visit to the Taproom for pizza and beer before getting the bus home.
The following weekend John was at the repair hub in Crieff after which he went off on a recce for a new bothy. Found it, hard going, not helped by a film crew and an adventure game going on.
Euan's summer holidays started so John popped down to collect his kit from Glasgow, good run both ways. We managed a bike ride on the Sunday and cooked outdoors again.
Wendy and John made the trek into the new bothy. Some steep sections but well worth the effort. Only ten minutes quicker walking out. Cooked outdoors again, pizza this time. It worked but we think making our own bases will be better.

July

John had a lazy weekend at home watching British grand prix.
Back at repair hub again, constructive session. Off to a bothy again. Plan changed en route due to accident on the road to Fort William. Called in at Glen Duror instead. Had the place to myself.
Wendy & John walked into Glenbuck bothy, Hard going with an hour of uphill to start with. Excellent bothy, had the place to ourselves.
The big trip away began with us collecting the motorhome on the Saturday. Quick run down to Cairn Lodge for dinner then onto J45 truckstop for the night.
Sunday saw us meander down to Porthmadoch via Asda Queensferry and a slate mine. The tour was very interesting.
Monday was the heritage railway trip to Blaunau ffestiniog, going around a unique loop en route.
Tuesday we went to the Canal Boat Museum and Port Sunlight before heading to Burrs country park. John managed to blow the intercooler pipe on the van. Limped it onto site.
Wednesday we called out the RAC, couldn't get the part until next day. We walked into Bury and then got the train to Rawtenstall to visit the Temperance bar, very good selection of cordials etc.
Thursday was a bit of hanging around until RAC came back and fixed van. We then headed to the Tan Hill Inn, got the last parking space, good job we had booked a table for dinner.
Friday saw us trundle up to the Scottish Mining Museum at Newtongrange before parking up for the night near Kincardine.

And Saturday we returned the van, did some shopping and went home.
