I have still got to do some shopping for helga though first,,I need a couple of chairs for outside,groundsheet or rug etc oh and a ehu adaptor for Spanish electric,,I will need one of them! So are there a few funsters down the south?

you wont need any of that until you hit some decent weather..believe me relaxing outside aint going to happen in the North. All can be bought at better (read cheaper) prices in Benidorm

You'll get any /all of that in any ferreteria (hardware shop)

IMO he should get to Benidorm (can get there in a day) as he will meet up with loads of funsters down there, who can help iron out/explain any issues that come up with van... have an enjoyable Christmas/new year in a relaxed atmosphere, getting used to the van in good company, then head of in the new year for Portugal..whatever.

There will be lots of funsters down south. Just head on down at a pace you and Helga are happy with and make yourself known - they will soon get you sorted with any kit you need - either spares you can borrow or will show you the best place to get stuff.

Wish we were with you. Stuck here because of medical and family stuff.

 

[Frentchy]

I have just passed Peru! , didnot know the andies were in northern spain?. Lol

I thought they was on the end of your armies(sorry about that)
The French chef done you a favor, they can't make TEA
And if your intending to to travel from S/East Spain, to Portugal your best keeping the sea on your Left unless Helgar is amphibious

tip join the "benidorm snowbirds group"

Broken Link Removed

open a thread, tell them you are coming and see if anyone can reserve a pitch for you..as its very busy down there (with good reason)

Perhaps someone should open a thread for the group warning them that a Tsunami called @ianthebuilder & Helga is heading their way .

Ian, hope your adventure is all you want of it and you have a great time. We're just about to pass Dover port on our way home from the train and could quote easily jump on the ferry to go back over.

Keep us up to date when you can.

We were so busy nattering I didn't think about it until Ian had left.

Oi pal, you were doing just fine...............up to that point. ............
I don't know how old you are Ian, but there is every chance that @laird of Dunstan, and myself, have lived in England longer than you've been alive.

I wish I was doing what you are doing right now, as I'd be heading for Benidorm, and meeting up with "The Funsters Gang" down there, then moving on as the weather changes.

As before, enjoy the experience.

Cheers,

Jock.

Due to the spontaneity of things over the last couple of weeks, I thought he was muuuuuuuuch younger than that.

Cheers,
