Centre Parcs Eindhoven, via the Newcastle to Ijmuden ferry.
Nowhere today. I need to wash the flies and brake dust off it ready for it's trip to the Alps next weekend (to get more flies and brake dust on it) but it's been too hot to wash it today. I washed the Polo first thing, but couldn't be arsed to wash another vehicle, even tho' they are all looking pretty grim, so went out on my bike instead.

I could be faffed to wash the van today - besides it was too hot
On through Skye for the ferry from Uig to Tarbert in Harris. Not the best campsite in Harris but it does the job and is right next to the beach
How do you find the awning covers? Am looking for a short stay awning setup either side ones full setup or a sun canopy ?
Is it good there, we're going there the end of this month?
Did you have to show a Covid pass or anything at customs?
Very good. As it’s a slightly smaller footprint than the 2.6m f45s it’s not a large space. However, as my set up has the kitchen at the rear, it provided somewhere I can leave a camping table with my kettle, coffee, fridge and chair so, as an early riser I don’t disturb everyone else. Plus I can get dressed stood up as I don’t have the pop top. No idea how it would preform in wet and windy conditions yet, but so far it has met my needs for speed and outdoor space.
Another day, another few beaches in Harris…
Absolutely stunning. It’s deffo on our to do list.
Enjoy.
Huttopia in Rambouillet outside Paris. Camping this week. All set up and ready to explore Paris by train tomorrow. But guess who forgot to bring a multi adapter for the hookup? So stuck with two sockets in the van.
Not all lost, have a Renogy solar charger for the leisure battery.

Will be heading up that way next weekend… ferry to Barra on Sunday lunchtime after a weekend in Glasgow
I can imagine it would be a magical place to pitch up. Sadly they now charge a flat rate of £4 to even get in the car park, it looks like a rogue set up tbh with no professional signage or affiliation to anything! There is signage that says no overnighting though and there are few houses nearby. Sign of the times, excuse the pun!
Just been to Crealy adventure. park to set my, not so little, tent up for visiting family to use for the week. SWMBO has suggested that as the van is now complete and she's happy with it we should sell the tent when the family go back to France. So if you.know anybody wanting the absolute best tent for large families or small that like space let me know
So after nearly 60mph winds last night (the western highlands seemed to have missed the heatwave and thankfully our small vango driveaway lasted better than many tents) we were back out and about around Harris today. On to Uist tomorrow…
