Speaking of selling things, you might want to edit your profile to reflect your current carriage of choice?

Few years now
Just booked my ferry ticket , cost me £8 more than if I'd booked it last week lol.

5th November I'm oota here.
Might spend a bit longer in France this trip weather depending as I'm not in a rush this year. Dogs are all sorted for morroc etc. Might visit a couple of the villages uncle lenny went to . Will see.
Hope the weather in France is better for you than it has been for us. Barely had a day without rain in the past two weeks.

Short trip Al….🤷🏼‍♂️

yes just a 5 weeker Gary so we can get 90 days in Spain/Portugal after the new year 👍
TBH we’ve been blessed with the weather, it’s been lovely i’d say 95% of the time being hot in Germany especially, Bruges last 2 days has been very sunny as well so can’t complain at all

Well that`s our 14th year & still loving it.
Slight change in subject but when you guys go away on these long journeys what do you do about insurance?
We are currently looking at going away for more than 31 days which appears to be the cut off point for the over 70's and the quotes are over a £1000. ok that is flying to the southern hemisphere but the limit of number of days is just bloody ridiculous.
Puts a bit of credence to they...whoever they are just want to stop us travelling.

We managed to get the generator dropped today .. thought we'd be able to just run it off a battery and fuel but for some reason it needs to be wired to the van .. but anyway stripped it out the casing , got spark plug out cleaned it and tested it for a spark and it's getting one.. the fuel pipe from carb though is knackered and pissin fuel out . We ran out of time so will test it again tomorrow with a new bit hose.

All the sound deadening foam was knackered and falling apart as is the airfilter . So I've ordered a kit off ebay , new plug, air filter , carburettor, fuel pipes etc and some new sound deadening. So I might be here another few days after the weekend .


Been thinking about it a lot today and I don't want the inconvenience of carrying 2 spare wheels . My garage would be ridiculous. So I will refitt one spare underneath and I'll advertise the other wheel and tyre.
