Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[CAB]

Transported senior guests to the church for niece's wedding, St Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in Sutton Park, Woking.

Apparently the Estate used to be John Paul Getty's place.

Weather on our last couple of days in the New Forest hasn't been great. Managed to get a short trip out to the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive for a walk in between showers.
Must remember to not clean he van before coming here...

These are the Giant Sequoias, meant to be the 2 largest trees in the new forest. Absolute monsters.

These 2 love the forest and the Mud Buddy is worth every penny


Heading home tomorrow, weather is meant be really nice

Brooklands!

Well, Tesco.

If you zoom in, you can see the banking of the old track, now covered in moss and grass.

Merc World and the car/aircraft museum are worth a visit while you are there (if you are staying a while!).

Funnily enough, Mrs CAB and I were discussing that. We've been once, and been driven round the existing banking in an old car, but she has no recollection, and I can't remember when it was, as we didn't have the kids with us, but it wouldn't have been before we had them.

If only I had had a Transporter at the time, I'd have put photos on an Internet forum as a record!

Just had few days down on the south coast, dropped into Brooklands for a visit, Thruxton for Karting and then Goodwood on the way home. Found these guys at Goodwood, it’s their first morning meeting there and they managed to get 70+ vans!

Quick trip to B&Q in Chorley today, took the van as it hasn't been started up for a month and needed a run. Very pleased that it started up on the first kick and ran fine. Only issue is that when I got back home I found that a long thin trim strip that lives between the cab area headlining and the rest of the van roof liner had dropped to the floor. It has little black plastic pegs that fit into tiny sockets in the roof but doesn't want to fit back in and stay up. Looks like I will have to apply some glue.

I'd avoid anything too permanent like glue if I was you.

As someone who had precisely the same experience, I went for these:- Pardon our interruption...

Think that if I apply a thin coat of glue to the pins and let it dry, then the slight increase in pin thickness may be sufficient to allow them to grip better?

Swiss Farm, Henley-on-Thames, for a few days for our anniversary, tied in nicely with our niece's wedding.

All the best people get married in February!

Nothing exciting. Had to nip over to MK and as the van hasn't moved in three weeks decided to use that.

@CAB Swiss Farm is a great site, much, much better than the CAMC site along the road from it. Love Henley-on-Thames.

Never stayed at Swiss farm and couldn't get In when we went last week .

Many people believe that Manu Bay in Raglan has the longest, most accessible and consistent left-hand break in the world.
More campervans than cars and it is now well past peak holiday season her in New Zealand......

It's empty now!

Cheaper than the CAMC (in low season), further from the main road, and 5 minutes closer to the pubs!
