Tam & co the great winter escape

[Northernraider]

I take it any time in Ireland comes off your 90 days.

I don't think so that's why im going, 2 months Ireland then over to spain

 

[Winger]

Motorhome parking Ireland is a must have app in Ireland. You can subscribe for a month, 3 months I think or 12 months.
With all other apps Ireland has been forgotten

Made some progress in clearing out the vario. I got more in to mums shed than i thought i would. A lot of stuff to sell that i will no longer need. I can't believe how much stuff i had bought to work on the van , tools ive never used and won't now but i can advertise it all later.


And i forgot that once i move in to the motorhome i will be able to store a few things in the caravan till i sell them , then sell the caravan.

So im getting there.

Most of the parts ive stripped off the Vario i will take with me to Wissel in the motorhome so he has a slightly more pleasant drive back with it ( less rattles)

It should only be the motorbike rack and the spare wheels left in the back which i can secure down .

Ireland definitely doesn't count towards your 90 days. It's in the common travel area (CTA)

Well i was never on any 70mph roads with it anyway , but it had plenty power even with 2 on it

 

[WESTY66]

If my new scooter doesn’t do 70/80 mph two up, it’s going back

Tam you probably already know this but the x244 can suffer with a rusty sump and the front crossmember

Yes ..theres an advisory on the crossmember for showing signs of corrosion . Hopefully i can catch it now before it gets worse. I did the one on the hymer.

Owner says sump gasket is seeping so ill replace that next oil change.

It will no doubt need jobs doing here and there but ill give it a good once over

Careful not to drip oil residue on Mum's drive.

Well we best hope Wissel doesn't change his mind about the vario lol . Ive just sold my welding plant. Raining here again today so ive still not got it back on the ground and the lights refitted etc. Bloody weather. Hopefully get that done before weekend.

Don't worry Tam, I have a MIG here - Note to self: get some gas before the weekend


(Just kidding, don't panic )

Few doggy posers.

Took mum to Asda this morning ... you'd think i was going away again for six months the way she stacked that trolley. And all because i said i was going south for next weekend

And braved the cold and got a haircut before getting on train tomorrow... didn't want to scare the southern softies with my wiley hair

Usually as we get older our hair recedes from the place you have not shaved, please go back and change the style.

I was born and lived in the northern outpost of Luton for 7 years, since then I've migrated south to a point where I'm stuck without seeking French residency. I'm struggling to think of any "northerners" who aren't "softer" than me Apparently there is a "Gap" at Watford and it is rumoured there might be life the other side of it, but then I guess those people probably think the Earth is flat!

And so our journey begins ...mou mou aka watson is investigating the train station for packages.

Normally she's done 2 pees and 3 poos by this time but only one of each so far.

I just know she's saving them up to embarrass me

 

[Northernraider]

2 changeovers with 8 minute windows i hate public transport

 

[Scotch mist]

Good luck , hope all goes well , looking forward to your new adventures , my worry was that I might have died before the vario was finished , IMO you have done the right thing changing vans

Public Transport is a great theory, alas, like you, I don't have much luck with it!
Hope you have a smooth journey.

Maybe wondering if the train stops at the vet.

1 down 2 to go

 

[Trev45]

Exciting day for you . Over the years I've bought a few of cars off Ebay that involved a train journey to collect them . You will enjoy the journey back in your new home. Good luck.

Mou is a seasoned traveler takes it all in her stride
