T6F Summer Camp 22 - (22-24th July 2022)

[slocumjoseph]

Ironic isn’t it. After my last miserable post to @Dellmassive about not being able to attend because of the concussion setback the last few days have gone well. I now feel back in the pink so driving locally again. I would have come up there, not only for the crack and to meet you lot but it would also be a serious driving and socialising test. Too late! The vans is in Wales! My sons partner wanted to attend a MTB trial. So I lent it to them. She’ll be there with grand daughter while son and teammate do some serious training around the Welsh mountains.

Hi to everyone on site at the summer camp. We’re looking at sleeping options for our T6 Kombi and like the look of the stuff from The Ply Guys - anyone here have their seating/bed options fitted we could take a look at. I know there are others who do much the same concept so would be interested in that too. We’re thinking about the Torridon + Clachan SWB Kombi set: https://www.theplyguys.co.uk/product-page/torridon-range
Thanks.

We're leaving Doncaster around 10am mate. I've got a 5.30 start (up at 4am) at the hell hole I'm hoping to sack off this year. Then blast down to you guys.

Don't worry @T6ARF laptop, diagnostic and remap kit is all packed in the van.

See you guys n gals tomorrow!

Remaps..?

I hope you’re wrong buddy. Paid a small fortune for this holiday.

Had a brilliant day with you guys was nice to put names to faces and catch up with you all. Me and Mrs Dav-Tec are definitely coming for the full weekend next year!

We’re home now, and Thanks to Dellmassive and all who have organised the summer camp we’ve had a brilliant week end especially last night with fancy dress and Sylvester the cat (Sammy) was awesome.

John, Pat and Roxy.

Great first T6Forum camp for us. Brilliant to meet and chat to everyone ... thanks for being so welcoming.

Big shout out to Lee & Lisa and everyone @Dellmassive Mansion for all their organising, entertaining and hardwork. It was a blast.

Catch you at Busfest

... and this guy didn't get his round in!!

 

[WeaWar]

Our first Summer Camp and we had a great time. Thanks for the good company, good conversations and some great advice, although I'm not sure my credit card will be thanking you guys! Oh so many things we now need for the van we didn't realise we needed before!

Looking forward to Busfest and will check dates for Autumn Camp too.

See you all soon

Ditto on the first “T6Forum Summer Camp”.
Didn’t know what to expect as this was also a virgin camp out experience for us.
The organising, location, set up, and variety of dubs was great but, most pleasing of all, was the friendliness of everyone there.
Mark & wife from Bedfordshire, our neighbour Mud Digger, Dave & Chris, Michaela & Andre, Rob & Linda, Pauly, and all the others we unashamedly forgot the names of! Above all, Lee & Lisa for inviting us and making us feel like one of the T6 family!
We received much needed assistance from nearly all of you, be it physically with the awning or with advice on accessories. Seeing the different dubs that arrived gave us an insight into how unique each one was yet still retain that beautiful T6 feel.
Our doggies, Lester & Molly, enjoyed it as much as we did, meeting and sniffing and running everywhere!
Last night’s party round the pits was an experience in itself, so many smartly dressed hippies letting their hair down! Couldn’t believe had something in common with another ex forces man who’d slept in the same billets as me back in the ‘80’s down the Falkland Islands!
Many thanks to all of you, even those we didn’t get to chat to, and we hope to join some of you again at the Autumn gathering later in the year.

Where's everyone gone !!

Big thanks for making me, Julie and Atom really welcome despite our late arrival at Saturday lunchtime. We had a great time and really enjoyed the Disco tent from afar as we didn't get over to the circle...!

Managed to test drive a fair few bits of camping equipment in the 'light breeze' and we now have a much better understanding of our vans limitation and what we need to pack and what we don't.

Thanks to @Dellmassive and @Eli for delivering and babysitting my Jackery solar setup which was a steal at £20. Its being put to good use as we speak.

Best wishes to everyone and safe journeys home.....
