Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

Hope this wasn't a member of our forum (but I can see the attraction if I had access to a VW van as a teenager )

Boy, 13, who took family campervan on 70mph joyride given points on future licence

Teenager admitted it was not the first time he had taken the vehicle but told the court he ‘won’t do it again’

Yeah, not really sensible to have an open fire, you might set light to the puddles!

I thought all those new forest sites had no facilities, need to check them out again

You're right. No showers, toilets, fires. You have to bring a chemical toilet

Been absolutely no where! Spent the last 11 days in bed with a bulging disc in my lower back. Excruciating leg pain has been the best part!
Can't wait to get back out and about in the van!

Is that you around the back of the Church ? BYL or BVL ?

Stunning photos.
Not far from us, but never been there for some reason. Campsite recommendations?

Looks and sounds superb

Gibraltar Farm Campsite. We opted for a woodland pitch that was directly next to a route which leads you through the woods, down to the cove. I’d certainly return so would definitely recommend

Ah, nice. No , was in the Nelson on Friday and the kids were in there last night for a bit. I was still recovering from the Adnams Brewery Tour !! We are in a cottage on Victoria St, just up from the Adnams shop. Nice van you have there, in the best colour too. We go tomorrow, heading to Beccles and Yarmouth before overnight in a pub car park at Upton. Enjoy the rest of your stay

Thanks mate, safe travels to you….catch up for a beer if you are in my neck of the woods again.

Leaving essex on the 20th April and heading to the lake district for our first stopover then as follows, Never done it before so we have booked all the sites etc
day one park foot holiday park (lake district)
day two Fortrose bay camp site
day three wick river campsite
day four island view glamping pods
day five sango sands
day six clachtoll beach campsite
day seven broomfield holiday park
day eight applecross campsite
day nine glen nevis camping and caravan park
day ten park foot holiday park (lake district)

When you are at Fortrose Bay take a walk along the beach to Chanonry Point to see the dolphins. They come in about an hour after low tide to feed on Salmon in the estuary. If you are lucky they will be right in close - maybe 20 or 30 metres away. Don't drive there as the little car park at the end of the single track road will be rammed.
We normally then walk along the beach to Rosemarkie and grab a beer and some food. It's a place we go to on most of our Scotland trips - love it there.

Sounds ace @Bigsidavies…..do you stay nearby? Have you tried the campsites at Fortrose?

Overnight pub stop at The White Horse at Upton on the Broads. Travelled up from Southwold, for fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens in Great Yarmouth.....
