Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Not sharing a small space in the van with bog-juice soaked shoes and sweaty Ts sounds like an excellent idea.

(I think I shall find a lidded plastic box to store any whiffy kit in when it can’t be hung outside)

Plastic lidded boxes are a motorhomer's or campervanner's friend!
Our motorhome has a great all the way through garage, and the tandem fits in it. Just waiting for husband to recover from his second hip replacement last Friday and we can be off again

OH keeps going on about a motorhome so I thought we would look today to make him realise that it's not for us. Backfired as I found one I really like but it's way out of our price range. Will just make him.want one more now, have told him he needs to go back to work!!!

I'm thinking LWB van, lightly converted, to use as day van and secure garage coupled with a new caravan to live in whilst on tour.

However, MrsC and the FlyingScotsman went to Strathclyde uni for an open day yesterday. This prompted some Conversation (yes, with a capital "C") last night and it's clear that pipe dreams such as those noted above will remain exactly that for at least 8 years.

Still, it could be worse. It could have become apparent that I urgently need to find more permanent and lucrative employment.....

ach scheiße :(

It happens Mandymoo.......

Ah Angus, I feel your pain. Our youngest left home over 8 years ago, but both girls are shocked that we're planning to get a van and, *do our own thing*!!! They're 33 & 28!

On that note, any advice on here regarding insurance? I've done some online quotes and am pleasantly surprised.

It looks like we're going ALL IN with Nellie, we've got a few hours with her tomorrow to confirm and a condition of our house sale/apartment purchase is that our secure parking space will be 6.3m X 2.2M!

So all advice (particularly about insurance) would be gratefully received.

Yes I did. It was fab. All four of us took off at the same time. Bucket list item ticked.

The views are just stunning aren't they?. I found the drive to the top the worse bit - just loved the whole experience from arriving at the top to landing 😁
