Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[Martinf]

We sneaked a first trip out for about 3 months and thought for a moment we had stumbled on a rally. Then the watchful eye arrived.
Location is Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex.

Did the Rozzers move you all on or was he looking for a free cuppa from you day trippers?

Re. Padstow Touring Park - same here - you would probably have caught me admiring that blue pop top canvas at some point.

Sunny Sandbanks, popped the roof, had a little paddle board and soaked up some rays.

All done whilst obeying the social distancing rules.

I think they were just checking we were all behaving ourselves. Maybe they were practicing for a return after dark!

Well, after not leaving campsite No. 2 @ Applecross and not travelling to our 3rd stayover @ Sands Camping Park, close to Gairloch, we then didn't take in the sights and sounds of Ardessie Falls whilst travelling clockwise, along the West coast on the Nc500 to our 4th nightly accommodation at Ardmair Point, Ullapool.

What a lovely place this is not to travel to, at this time of lockdown.

Tonight's place, we are not stopping at is Clachtoll Beach Campsite. Unfortunately, we didn't take in any of the fantastic views from Achmelvich or Lochinver.

If anybody has photos of any of these (I think) fantastic viewing / driving roads, please post to wet my appetite.

Tomorrow morning, we will not be driving approx. another 40 miles in the day to set up camp at Durness, after visiting Cocoa Mountain (a trip for the Mrs!!) and not taking our new torches to investigate Smoo Caves.

All in all, we have now not driven 750 miles on this trip, since not leaving home last Thursday.

Going to remember your posts to replan my route

Hopefully, when Mr Boris allows, we will be doing the exact same route and stopovers next year.
Maybe, we will see you on our travels?

 

[czmate1999]

Very possibly. Hopeful for getting out somewhere this year... but we’ll see. We were planning central Europe in August, not sure how likely this is... fingers crossed though as would like to see my family out that way...

Even in lockdown and the only vehicle on site, I still park in an end spot.
Old habits die hard.

Look at the poor lonely thing!
That speed hump looks super effective.

I hope not too effective. We ripped up the old ones as they were too severe and the staff were complaining so we formed some lower ones.

High Peak, Derbyshire. The Hope Valley, from the Blue John Cavern road, with Mam Tor behind us.


A few others had the same idea, thought we'd stumbled upon a White Peak VWT meet!

could do with them being hatched out, or a set of triangles on either approach?

tends to remove the issue of "" i didnt see em ""

dont know where the site is, but a quick refresh of all markings would sure tidy the place up a bit ?/

( ps, im notts based ( but full uk coaverage ) , so if you need a quote to reline giz a nudge )

Longridge Fell, Lancs.
The view to the Forest of Bowland.

Not allowed to camp, so spent all day, breakfast lunch and dinner with a walk in between.

Late evening Ashridge walk with the family. Packed the freezer with ice cream but forgot the bloody milk for tea! Oh well, black tea it was!
