At Bala and with regard to the algae , at the top end(Bala) of the lake there is definitely algae at the water’s edge in the slack water areas, at the campsite where there is more wave action at the shoreline there are only isolated small bits closer in. Certainly plenty of people out kayaking and sup ing so no problems for that. Went for a decent swim today and would have to say the water quality doesn’t seem any different to last year but time will tell……….
aarrgghhh. Just kidding but will update if anything adverse learned/ happens. Appreciate that animals may be more susceptible but don’t have the knowledge to make that assessment.
 
I’m still hoping to make this guys.
Everything depended on getting my van running properly.
I’ve been getting black smoke and after running injector cleaner came to the conclusion it was a couple of injectors needing replaced.
My vans been in the garage to get this done.
It turned out it wasn’t the injectors it was the remap that the converters had done for me.
So I took my van to a motorsport specialist today who I’ve used to map turbo cars in the past.
He put it on the rolling road and custom mapped it.
Turned out the plonker who mapped it previously had mapped out the DPF and ad blue but left the DPF in place. So all it did was block up and being mapped out it never did any regens.
So tomorrow he’s removing the DPF and remapping it again.
Fingers crossed I get it back tomorrow working great.
Depending on time I get it back I will either fire down later tomorrow to Bala then head to CRS on Friday afternoon to get my suspension done before coming back to Bala for a couple nights.
Or just travel down real early Friday morning so I’m at CRS in the afternoon.
It’s been a bit of a head wreak and stressful but it might just all come together.
Fingers crossed I get a beer with you guys soon.
 
T31.5 Heavy departing for Bala now, enjoy the trip, the temperature in Walsallshire feels like it's quite cold!

Have a great weekend. We’re across the far side of the country in Cromer. The sun is shining but the high for the day is forecast to be 14*. Similar forecast for tomorrow then it’s homeward bound on Saturday and back to work on Sunday.
 
I’m hoping to get my van back soon but will be tomorrow before I get down there.
Doesn’t look like I’m going to get a beer with you guys either
:(
I woke up with toothache today.
Feels like an abscess.
Got appointment at dentist 3pm but the worst thing is that I’m allergic to penicillin and the antibiotics I will get make you very sick if you drink alcohol.
Thought it was too good to be true Everything coming together at the last minute.

Northern lightweight!!!
 
I just mention your little get together to the boss and she said let’s cancel our plans, load up the van and let’s go! Problem is family politics come into play so hopefully next year! :rolleyes:
Do you guys arrange other meets or is the main event?
 
Theres a few events through the year, some are national mainstream events like busfest (sept) and camperjam (july) then theres always 2 or 3 forum arranged events like Bala (may) and summer camp (Aug)
