Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[Sackmycook]

How the hell are you supposed to park another T6 in that gap?????

It's black and white to me

 

[ginkster]

The Royal Oak in the Peaks, as recommended a few days ago by someone else on here. Top place with lovely food in the pub (make sure you book!). A few other T5/6/6.1s present. Anyone on here?

Spent the day at Ulswater and Aira Force today. First time we’ve used the van properly. Wish I had done it years ago now. Love it.

500 mile round trip today best vehicle for the job

Not exactly what the van was bought for and probably shouldn’t admit to going to an out of town shopping centre (in the environs of Braintree in case anyone is interested) but joining us in the far end of the car park was a LWB white T6. We parked a respectful distance from each other!! Anyone recognise - or willing to admit being in Braintree today?!

I wasn’t at Freeport today but do go sometimes when the wife nags enough and I also park right over the back too

At CamperMart Telford today.
Do say hi if you are passing.

Put your wheels straight Chris.

Here at Castletown campsite. Took the bike out for a few hours this afternoon up to Ladybower, along to Strines then back down to Castleton. A nice ride but bloody cold. Walked into the village for a pint or 2 and some food. To make me feel at home and to pretend the wife was with me, I thought it appropriate to visit Ye Olde Nags Head!

Unfortunately, I had a bit of a funny turn with the old ticker so went back to my van, now holed up with the heater on.

Hope it's nothing serious, don't hesitate to call for appropriate emergency services if needed.

Thanks. I suffer from AF for which I take meds for. My heart went racing away whilst in the pub to 111 BPM for no real reason, so headed back to the van to take another pill. It’s back to normal now. My normal resting HR is top 50’s to low 60’s so I can tell when it isn’t quite right.

My heart rate goes up when I see the price of a pint too, these days.
Enjoy the rest of your camp

For those with a Caravelle (like me), found the perfect bar/cafe in Evian.

After last years Easter jolly on the NC500,, the moomin family are about to plan this year's road trip to the south west of Ireland .
Anyone have any personal recommendations of places to visit please?

I was thinking Ireland but with the dog passport and ferry it’s £500 before you set foot …..

Hi. What are the alloys you have on your camper? Are they load rated?

Love the defensive parking!

They are VW 18" Sportline in black satin. They were on when I bought it. No idea re load rating but having just looked on inter web I have found some that say it has 860KG load rating.

A journey I fancy myself, just checked the price, WTF, anybody would think the boat was going to Barbados. I’m guessing the Emerald Isle is pretty empty.
