Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

Silverstone for an inaugural stealth camp in the van at the VSCC's Vintage Festival.

Saturday saw a running of the Benjafield 100 mile race for vintage Bentley's, with the start this year having a special anniversary dispensation from the MSA that allowed for a le Mans style driver dash across the track to the cars..

Absolutely stunning to witness, the noise sounded like so many vintage aircraft in a hurry..

Quintessentially English, old chap..

Where did you stay? We are currently in Penrith on a little site called Thacka Lea.

Stayed at Park Foot near Pooley Bridge. Stones throw from the lake and Pooley Bridge has some great pubs a 10 min walk along the lake from the site.

Know it well - stayed just down the road at Waterside House Farm a few times - perfect for lake access.

You could head along to Glentress. Some enjoyable forest trails and jump runs there. There's also a campsite there which we've used and it's not bad at all. A friend of mine has just told me about Kielder forest for MTBs. Never cycled round there myself but maybe worth some online research. Not too far from Berwick upon Tweed.

We've just got back from Glentress and had a great day riding the red route with the odd black section thown in :thumbsup: We will definitely be back soon...

That looked like fun. Presume it was a one off tho. Hope she's ok. Just remember scars are trophies....

One wonders how you managed to get such an action shot? Right place at the right time, or a carefully placed stick in the front wheel as if on cue?

Action shot. Alas, not. I just can't post the video clip that this is screen shot from in its entirety. This was attempt 3. I suggested after attempts 1 and 2 ended in similar circumstances, that perhaps Mrs Donkey should refrain from trying again. Consider practicing on something lower. Like a tea towel, or a newspaper. We could come back here another day, when skill and proficiency had developed a little.

Mrs Donkey can be as stubborn as an......Ass. And at times she has significantly larger testicles than Mr Donkey. But atleast after attempt 2, she conceded that Donkey's suggestion to put her helmet on, was a good one!
