Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[archersam]

So a longish drive with a couple of short sleep stops resulted in arrival to Slovakia to the snow and no snow ploughs going my way.

Made the last hour and a bit entertaining (all season snowflake tyres).

The acc sensor froze for last half hour.

Dropped the dog off then headed straight for a 7.30am dip in the river - 2deg in the water today.

A first shakedown overnight trip to Perthshire: Pitlochry and Bruar.
Good conditions (4-5 degrees overnight and damp!) to test the insulation and heating.

Van posing shamelessly beside a classic mist-wreathed Highland Perthshire loch (Loch Faskally):

Cheers Chris…
I’m very lucky to have such a nice van (she’s intentionally kitted out as a stealth camper: Ply Guys fit-out inside, no pop-top, a hidden awning rail in the gutter under the roof rails and a very nifty hidden EHU point in the rear quarter…) AND such beautiful campervanning country on my doorstep.

Love that pic of the ice frozen front! I can see why your sensor froze!!

Whereabouts it Henley are you staying? I’ve looked at sites around there a few times but never gone

Lucky enough to have been in Obergurgl, Austria for a few powder days. Only just made it up the mountain without resorting to chains (winter tyres, but 2wd).

The Caravan & Campervan Site. Only £21 a night for hard standing and hookup.

@cgtmiles I recommend Swiss Farm in Henley, stayed a couple of times and a ten minute walk into town. A quieter site than the CAMC site which can have a lot of road noise.

It seems both are within walking distance of the town which I thought was the problem I had but thinking about it I might have been looking at around Marlow to go to what’shisnames pub something and flowers.

The Hand and Flowers, my daughter's been and had a good meal but expensive. Marlow is a £20 quid taxi ride each way.

That’s it, cheers. Wife wants to go. I think if you can go midweek and maybe for lunch too it’s much more reasonable

I've heard there are amazing health benefits from this but I won't be finding out!! Local police would have found me frozen to those steps due to cramp :/

Very wise, but in a rental or someone else's van right every time!
