Make...

Via the magic of podcasting, David is now back from his epic summer family holiday and has so much to tell us about it. Although, he’s strangely reluctant at first.

There’s picking up their camper van, their first night at a Yeovil camp-sight, the journey...

So he and Joe use today’s show to have a run through of all David’s hopes, fears and preparations for the adventure ahead of him.
