Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[Bigsidavies]

Well the van was still at Bodo airport. Solar must have worked ok as fridge been on and the leisure battery has more charge then when we left it on Monday morning.
Plan to go to Lofoten slightly delayed as weather was so bad the ferry was cancelled indefinitely
Anyway, got running again and we are well late.
Just got to our layover spot at 2215.

So time to cook toasties in the ridge monkey and try a Norwegian beer.

I hate generators on campsites (especially if they go on too long/late!)

Are they waterproof?

I believe a bit of sugar in the fuel also works well.

i did, on one of the dog legs, but only as there was a car coming down. lost all momentum and had to reverse (roll) back and try again...
that bit was the wife's particular favourite.

Not today but yesterday, I took the drive to see Absolut5 in Amesbury and have a Kenwood DMX8020DABS fitted along with Kenwood reversing and dash cameras. I didn't actually get to meet Jason but Noel did the work and is obviously on top of his game when it comes to that sort of thing.
I've come across a couple of issues that I need to resolve and which I will post about separately but all in all, I'm pretty impressed with the upgrade.

I had to cycle over that on the c2c in a day ride I did last year. Needless to say I didn’t ride all the way up, actually I could only just about push the bike up some parts! Coming down the other side was almost as bad!!
