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!

That's a nice village. We did the distillery tour one winter when it was free of charge. We got a couple of cute little whisky glasses to taste test our samples.

So that van is gone, however it gives me a good idea what to look for.

That doesn’t surprise me. A one owner 590 in good condition will move fast - they’re a very popular model.

We are at the caravan club site in Warwick. No midges, it’s blowing a bit of a hoolie.

Lots of vans out the @RunningRonnie . And will be more in a few weeks when people have stopped using them. Every van is a compromise, we started with a 6m van, then 8.6m now have a 7m which is great for us. 6 was a little restrictive, and the difference between 6 and 7 in terms of accessing places isn’t noticeable. Little bit extra space makes wet days much more manageable. Good days we sit outside so not an issue

Parking in a café car park is a good idea until the delivery lorries arrive.

Thanks @Dillthedog I'm in no rush, as I do have a van that I still like.

We sat in our van last night on the drive. We went in to have a look at what was there work out how things work and were in for over an hour with a glass of wine listening to music. Heading out tomorrow for a little drive and an overnighter. Looking forward to adventures.

I’m sure when the one you’re meant to have will come along at the right time @RunningRonnie good luck.

Enjoy your travels @Ally C & @Dillthedog

Now the wind is up & the midges are away I will @geordiegirl

I think our first trip in our own van was a night at Largs marina.

In a hired one was Braemar.

Our first hire camper (and only one) was Sydney we were supposed to travel to Cairns but Covid kept us in New South Wales. That was a tad bigger than this.
