Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[Bargy62]

Little trip to Romney meadows campsite in New Romney to try out the new awning vango versos so far so good trying it with the annexe tomorrow
Nice site clean facilities View attachment 293054

Well this little trip turned into a big f**k up just getting ready to go out this morning and what sounded like a rifle shot and then watch the awning slowly go down yes we have a ruptured inner and outer tube lucky it's under guarantee so popped it in on the way home.
Its the first time we have used it so reckon it was faulty
was not over inflated I normally under inflate in hot weather
Plus in the height of maximum being pissed off so don't talk to me a bee managed to get between my foot and flip flop and stung me
Other than that we had a great time

Dune du Pilat, near Arcachon, climbing a sand mountain in inhumane working conditions ie. above 27 Centigrade.

Anyway, there was this bloke with a parapente and a Collie dog... flying too!


Bonkers!

At Old Warden airfield, ready for the coming weekend of vintage aviation. Parked next to another Leisuredrive Vivante, but his has a tailgate and poptop rather than barn doors and a high roof.

Ladram Bay in Devon this week, nice site, facilities good although a steep climb to the showers. Lovely secluded bay with its own private beach.

Roman site bagging in Vaison-La-Romaine and Carpentras, France.

1st Century Victory Arch in Carpentras, and Roman Pont and Road at Vaison.
Roman stuff interests me and I live just half a mile from a Roman Road in the UK

Had a break in the weather so managed to drive along the track to Icelands iconic volcano Maelifell, couldn’t go all the way, 4k short, track was closed with very soft sand, it really is that green
Bumped into a YouTube couple driving their six wheeled Volvo camper
