Show me the way to go roam
We have used a Huawei mobile router with an EE SIM for WiFi data when in Europe, mostly France. However, since the changes thanks to Brexit, we now need to pay an extra £10 per week as you probably already know.
This was quite a nuisance as we could not pay ahead for more than a week and so, when our roaming ran out, we could not top up without WiFi! It is a very frustrating system.
We are in Guernsey and would like to know what other SIM options would be available. We have been told about Three Internet with Legs, but I think I saw it is going to introduce roaming charges, too.
Our local providers are very expensive, so not an option. We have also been told about Giffgaff, so don’t know if this would work. We even tried a French SIM, but that didn’t work in our WiFi router.
I see Tesco advertises a good rate but again this is unknown. We bought £15 of data from EE, which gave us 24GB but paid another £30 for roaming for three weeks.
We would appreciate any advice readers have. Jenny and Max Gaudion
Timberlanders embrace the nostalgia of steam
With the age demographics of the Timberland Owners’ Club ensuring that all members would have experienced memories of the steam era, nostalgia certainly played its part for those who travelled to the chosen location for our autumn rally and AGM.
Hosting the meet was the Hoburne Blue Anchor Caravan Park, situated close to the beach and a five-minute walk to the Blue Anchor station on the West Somerset Railway, England’s longest heritage line.
After journeying from all parts of the UK, members were warmly welcomed by rally organisers, Marilyn and Sandra. Once settled in, conversations were soon in full flow at our traditional ‘circle of friendship’ gathering on arrivals day.
With much to choose from over the four-day event, members were eager to head out with the lure of steam travel at the top of many a to-do list.
With 10 locations on the West Somerset Line, Timberlanders had the option of travelling down to Dunster and Minehead, or upline to the quintessential Somerset villages of Washford, Watchet, Doniford Hall, Williton, Stogumber, Crowcombe Heathfield and Bishops Lydeard, all offering their own local attractions to entice visitors.
As well as steam travel, and allowing more time to enjoy the open-top views, the Exmoor
