Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[GUMY]

Couple of nights at Plassey (near Wrexham). Very peaceful (place pretty deserted) and spottlessly clean. Pretty posh tbh. If you don't mind feeling like you've parked up in a caravan showroom, and enjoy a swim all to yourself, not too shabby for 34 quid a night. (Wifi is cr4p tho)

We were there a few weeks back with the kids and grankids just 2 places behind where your pitch is. It was a bit windy back then and had the clutch go on the van. Lovely site and we'll probably go back when the weather is a bit better.

Trying a bit of 'WFV' today

Got up early and out to a nice picnic spot locally ready for sunrise.





just slid in under the 1.9m barrier! That makes me grateful for the flexi solar panel and 40mm drop H&Rs!


Best bit, full 5G signal from the other side

To the Dentist for a scale and polish. Not exactly the nicest destination or activity.

We camped at Cholsey Grange CL overnight. Very quiet site if just 5 pitches. Views of the Chilterns and patrolled from the air by red kites. EHU available, not required. Water too. No loo’s or showers.
This was us on pitch 2 with my son’s car parked alongside

View over the Chilterns

Sunrise’ish.


That’s pretty much the whole site.

Hark at you with your 'no EHU required'!

Horseshoe Pass, between Llangollen and Ruthin.





It's times like this, when I can go and climb a big hill because it's there, while Mrs Gumy fixes lunch by the van, that I know it's all worthwhile

Nice peaceful place for a pasty and a brew, especially when there's no firing today. Made a new friend as well.

Van looks great, what wheels and tyres are they and is it standard height, that’s the way I’m going to be heading I think looks just right
Thanks

I’m running Fuel Zephyrs with Falken Wildpeak AT3 235/65/17 on Koni Definition suspension from @CRS Performance with a 40mm drop.

Good wash and a trip to the beach to celebrate.

Thank you for that info much appreciated

@Greenmachine would imagine they run really smooth, I’m on 20” at moment which are ok and not to harsh but just to easy to catch the kerbs so thinking going with something like your set up which looks great and probably a big difference in comfort

I changed from 20’s, the ride was okay, but a lot of use for the van entails rougher roads, and I was getting paranoid about damage. This set up feels a lot nicer to drive, and there’s a lot of sidewall between the rims and kerbs/potholes etc

That’s exactly what I’m thinking now

I'm liking the colour scheme. If you described it too me I'd probably baulk, but beholden with the eye its pretty cool.

Thank you. We love it. We’d have liked two tone orange and white but the price we were quoted to paint it or à half wrap was too much so we went with the budget options of the decals. The pop top canvas was a free upgrade. It’s unique to us which we like.

The park to take the dog for a walk . ...rude not to have breakfast while we're there
