The Campervan Thread

[Drago]

The usual oaty bar and a coffee.

A bit blustery in the night but the awning is well anchored down so no drama. Nice and warm in bed, even warmer when the Labrador couldn't resist any longer and snuck under the covers.

I did that on Saturday night thought the Labrador would sit on the floor next to my bed! No wanted to spend the night sat on top of me!! Even it's head weighs a tonne!

Bruce snuck into the bed and cuddled up to hid Dad like a big teddy bear. Labradors are nature's hot water bottle.

Bacon butties last time, but this visit it's porridge, fruit and croissants (with jam). BBQ both evenings, and taking some venison we picked up at Tatton Park at weekend (may contain bones and shot it says on the packet ).

I'll find a pub for lunch and bring home something for tea.

Oh the stress of it all.

Just added an inverter in the space next to the battery in ours, the OH can now use a hair dryer when we are off grid - pretty much the only thing we were needing an EHU for.
Only £100

I got one of those griddle sort of pans,Ridgemonkey...great for cooking Toasties or breakfasts on over gas rings.

There was an inverter on the van when we bought it. Think we've only used it a couple of times.
Then to run PC for Zoom with clients.
Had to draw the curtains and let them think it was an office somewhere.

I can concur - bought the small one, more than adequate for a toastie, and handy for doing bacon and sausages. Saves splatter.

Lunch on Cromer Pier with Bruce.

Pack the van day today - bought a few stackable clear boxes and I've told MrsF her swim gear, and other clothing can go in these (day to day goes in a "Sleasyjet" cabin bag for me), other than strewn over the van (she does this at home and when we are tent camping). She had various shopping bags of stuff last time, and basically ended up all over the show - you can't be un-organised if staying in the van alone. It's bad enough in a large tent you can stand in.

Early dart tomorrow before 7am, hopefully arriving at around 10am (check in from 8am).

Just need a few supplies, and logs for the camp fire.

Arrived and pitched by 11.

A good excuse to use the van 😉 and for €8 a night is was pretty OK.

A convenient aire in the same village as todays TT👍🏻

Trip cut short as MrsF fell down a pot hole in the dark and sea mist. Couldn't bear weight on it so tonight would be tricky if needed the loo as we weren't carrying a porta potti. Checked out at A&E back home and it's just a sprain.
