Pipkim Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 We like to keep a record of all our trips by compiling our photos & words into a concise document. We currently cut & paste the photos into a Word document and print it out - but this is a long & laborious process. Is there any type of template that would make life a bit easier & quicker? Thanks in anticipation PilgrimPhil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Nothing concise about ours. We keep a daily diary on a laptop or tablet during our trips, including places we've stopped, what we had for meals out, and mileage. Photos are saved alongside this, renamed if not self-explanatory. We hardly ever print anything out, but do back everything up on Cloud. Lovely to look back on during cold winter nights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douzeper Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We use the Journey app. Take a photo of where you are, add it to the app and it picks up the co ordinates and adds the location/place/time/date to the log. Allows for more than one photo and a description. It is great. Here it is on Android, think it is on Apple also: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.journey.app&hl=en_GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George.. Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi,we also keep a daily log of the places,sites and walks etc. At the end of our trips I use Windows Movie Maker then My DVD to produce a DVD of the trip using photos and videos taken and add various notes and comments. These last about half to an hour and make interesting nostalgic viewing over winter. We also have a blog ( www.stoppsblog.co.uk) for friends and family to view our travels,although this doesn't get kept up to date as it should. What ever you do it's a good idea to have some means of remembering as it only takes a photo or a note to trigger a memorable time. George ??

Wills Wagon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hello I keep a diary in MS Word as we travel and the photos on the camera chip which goes onto the computer. At the end of the year I put both together into an illustrated diary using MS Publisher. The output is great but I find Publisher is very frustrating to use and is very time consuming. Perhaps my fault because I am not up to speed on the finer arts of its use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipkim Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks WIlls Wagons. That is exactly what we do after each trip - add the photos from camera card onto the MS Word document. We will have to look MS Publisher to see if that might be less frustrating [but judging by your comments, maybe not!!] Thank Pilgrim Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 i keep a log on EXCEL giving place name, campsite name, ACSI no (if applicable) cost per day, and then add comments about site. Comes in useful when we find we have been before, and could not remember !! Been to sites where we had forgotten, until we get there again!! Some have got better, some we have changed our minds, and gone elsewhere!! This year hope to change direction !! PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will86 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Similar to Steve and Kelly. We have a dedicated hard backed log book for each vehicle, it travels with us. A new vehicle has a new log book. We enter all costs, copies or pictures, site and ferry receipts. MOT etc. Its simple with no electronics involved.
