How long did it take you to get from Hays Travel to Zanzibar?
Jason and Noel have been really busy. My van is coming along nicely. It’s not finished yet, but they are nearly there. We’ll be picking it up on Wednesday.
Here’s the before photo of the seat base install coming out removing the AGM battery and CTEK etc and the new install across the two seat bases. It will be an off grid monster when it’s done.

All looks very tidy, compact and contained. Is their a description for the uninitiated
?
There will be a description when @Absolut5 finishes the project. He’s on Instagram at Login • InstagramAll looks very tidy, compact and contained. Is their a description for the uninitiated
so you can see some of the other projects he’s undertaken.
That's great I will wait until published on here do not do instargam looks good so far I am sure it will be a good job when finished.
Took myself off for some R&R in't Yorkshire Dales.
Note to self....don't park near a cattle grid.

Only yoking, a good spot!
He’s a two van man. He passed me in his new van the other day too. Although he does live in the next village.Took the van for its first outing …and on the way out of Warrington pulled up next to Mr Hoops @Leehoops …( but not in a van I remember)
Ps …nice to see you all being a fleeting glance
So ended up at this country park

Mines been sitting on the drive for quite a while.
Concern about the state of both vehicle and leisure batteries spurred me onto giving the van a run.
Jumped onto the M62 J23 which was surprisingly quiet and headed west past the farm in the middle of the motorway onto Milnrow. Came back to Hudds over the moors, back on the 62 at J24 then a short boot east and off at Brighouse. Round the roundabout and back on back to J24 and home.
Put some charge back in the batteries but maybe needs a day trip out to top them back up.

Been past that farm many a time….thats near the famous road sign…M62 Highest Motorway in England …if it helps we charge batteries with a small Ctek often during cooler months….the vans are very power dependent….Only issue this time of year on the back roads …is ….you’ve got to clean the van again
But up and down dale ..great scenery …What’s not to love ….Be happy go drive.
Not much in the way of scenery @VanDamMan it was pitch black coming back over the moors!
After two strenuous walks and a poor weather forecast, decided to take it easy.
Base Camp Farm Shop and Cafe, on the A66 towards Penrith.
I'm not a connoisseur (Mrs CAB most certainly is
) but it was well stocked even though quite small. The bacon was heavenly, perfectly cooked and ever so soft.
Then a drive along Ullswater to Pooley Bridge, just 'cos I've never been.
Finally home, and in time for the first clean of the year.

As previously announced and with weather conditions favourable, me, the Mrs and the Dubdog had a jaunt down the M1to Clumber Park.
Beautiful day for a walk round the lake after the van brew.
Finished with special hot choccy (with cream and mini marshmallows!) and a chocolate chip cookie from the cafe.
Really busy down there today plus lots of Dubs spotted and even a few waves!
Top day out, dog now knackered and van batteries looking much healthier!

We love a trip to Saltburn. The road by the station has a few real ale bars and a pub that has a wood fired pizza place inside.
Great for a night out in the van.
