Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[Stay Frosty]

@Bigsidavies. Thanks for that - it's always good to have recommendations. As to transport to Lisbon, I didn't read any reviews too closely but I'm sure that I saw one of them referring to trains from Setubal every 20 minutes. You mentioned the hard standing looking really hard - unless it's hard as in concrete, I've got half a dozen 12" rebar pegs and a lump hammer that should take care of it!

@Drive Wayne will lend you his SDS drill and some resin anchors if you want a really good job.

We parked up at Whetton Mill to walk up to Thors Cave, then we drove, via some very narrow lanes, to Dovedale NT car park for a further walk. We had lunch in the car park before learning from the NT rangers on site that everywhere around that area was under a foot of water and we’d be better going back down the road to Ilam Park NT to park up and have a wander around. A good day out.

The Spit - Gold Coast, we went down there for a walk on the beach then some fish and chips.

Those big bumps at the back of the van are a good idea to stop rolling in to the water. Don't see them like that in the UK much.

Had our first "proper" 2 nights away near Malvern over the weekend. It was a bit windy and wet but the van was cosy - we loved it. Lovely walk up to the Worcestershire Beacon on the Saturday (where I pretty much flew the dog like a kite in the wind) followed by a pub lunch. After two nights of pretty torrential rain (that was not forecast!), the van had to be dragged out by tractor .

Spent a couple of hours in a damp Haworth, then over to Roman Ribchester.





Spotted this van on the way to the pub!

Fun morning of skiing in Malbun, Lichtenstein.
Van is a very useful ski base.

@LondonLad. Out of idle curiosity, are you 2 or 4WD?

2wd only. Packed the snow chains but avoid snow filled car parks etc to be on the safe side.

We’ve been to Gladstone Pottery Museum in Stoke, very interesting.

Awesome in Irlam to have my brake fluid changed. Then an interesting journey home.

I'd take your crappy startline rather than pay those prices

Steep prices but beautiful vans. But yeah, way out of my price range.

Imagine spending £80 large and going to Caffeine and Machine or a THQ BBQ and expecting admiring glances.
I say bolt some look faster bits on that Startline yourself and earn some genuine respect.

Quite happy repping my greasy ex-AA van for a total of £25k including conversion

Nothing exciting been to Northampton for van service . Clean bill of health and given a “supplement “ booklet. All good and done in just over 4 hours result.

We drove to Mow Cop Castle before heading on to Biddulph Grange Gardens NT. The sun shone!

Took the dog out for dinner! Went to Ashridge woods after work as it was a nice evening and still light!
