Cheers for that, the camera really makes it look better than I've done.

It's only ever me that goes away, no room on the bed for anyone else :shock: :lol:

It's a getting away van, I'm far too lazy to do surfing or rock climbing. I just sit in my deckchair and eat Cherry Bakewells. :lol:

I'm sure with a bike rack and a roof rack there'd be more than enough space for proper adventure holidays, and loads of people do that kind of thing. A cool box with frozen milk and bacon in it is good for a weekend away, it keeps everything cool and the milk melts just enough to make cups of tea. The small portable camping stoves seem to be popular too if you don't want the hassle of plumbing in LPG.

Getting very close to finished, all the kit I need to camp is working, just some final tidy up and a little bit more cabling to do before it's truely complete (for now).

First outing for the new design, she performed fantastically. It was below freezing for the three nights I camped in Wales, but I was nice and warm in my sleeping bag.
This weekend will be the Peak district, a chance to test the electric hookup and my 400watt mains heater.
