I’ve somehow managed to get about 5 pages behind on this thread. Just caught up.
Love all the places that these vans take us.
We’ve had ours 5 years and we were talking yesterday saying that the van has been life changing for us. 5 weeks in Norway, 10 weeks in Spain/Portugal and loads of other foreign and UK trips that I won’t even mention. Loads of mountain biking trips and stopovers, so many T6 forum meet-ups and many friends made.
Keep on posting and inspiring people. I can’t be the only one that loves reading this thread.

Today I went to Swinton to hang out and work on the van with @Skyliner33 - what a guy and an awesome van and an absurd amount of spare schrader valve pins

What could you possibly be doing that’s keeping you away from keeping up with this thread?!
Fully agree though, I love and love to hate this thread depending on whether I have any plans to travel booked up. Realised the other day that I had no trips planned for the first time since January so had to spend some time on my first day back at work booking more time off!
It’s always great to see where people (like yourself) are going, got so many great ideas of where to go, love it!
Quite a clean and neat site, the town itself is abit of a disappointment, although we did find a Tabac bar - looked dodgey but we were welcomed. On a side note there is a cheese festival in the town this coming weekendNever stayed at Neufchâtel-en-Bray when the site has actually been open , always stayed on the camping car bit in winter but it's still a great stop over
Up in the Lake District for a week, staying at Dalebottom Farm near Keswick. We're on hardstanding with the drive away awning deployed, but the hardstanding is very hard, and altgough we've got rock pegs, we could have done with a sensible lump hammer.
Pics from Coniston Copper mines and Low Tarn on the path up to the Old Man of Coniston from day 1.
2 pics from the top of Skiddaw after walking up from Keswick Lakeside car park.
Breezyy, and some really heavy showers forecast all week.

Camping Polari turned out to be pretty damned good, particularly for ¢25 per night ACSI, with plenty of very close access to the sea.. On Monday we caught a bus to Pula centre from just outside the campsite gates and had a good walk around town and the Roman amphitheatre (which some sources say was the 6th largest in the empire). Yesterday morning we drove to Brestova for a 20 minute roar ferry sailing over to Cres and from there drove the length of the Italian and across a bridge to Losinj and Camping Lopari (as opposed to Polari which we've just left!). It's another good site at #25 ACSI and is quiet with very recent facilities, a shop and restaurant along with easy sea access and few small but nice beaches (which I think are man made). Not long after waking this morning, the wind picked up and we had a lot of rain in a very short time all of which seemed to blow under the awning. Anyhow, it's all swept out now and I've put up side walls to stop it happening again.
Until we got on the ferry, we still hadn't seen any more Brits but there was a white 18 plate barn door camper a couple of rows over from us on the ferry. They got off before us and we followed them for a while thinking they were going to the sam place as us but they turned off and we carried on to our chosen place.
The weather is forecast to be a bit rubbish today but sunny, sunny and a bit more sunny after that. Suspect we will stay ghere until Sunday and then catch another ferry to Otok (Island) Krk where we will probably stay for a few more day and then decide what to do from there.
Fabulous write up Ayjay. Some food for thought there. Glad the ACSI is working too.
We are at the southern most point of Croatia off grid with a few other campers-no Brits. Weather is forecast to be crap this afternoon and tomorrow morning so no point paying to sit at camping Kate-we’ll head there tomorrow morning and stay a few days if it’s any good.

Been to see The Kelpies (enough photos posted here previously by others) and the Falkirk Wheel. Stopping for the night at Witches Craig campsite just outside Stirling, with a view of the Wallace Monument
Lovely site with facilities as good as Mortonhall, including camper's kitchen - but cheaper (£31 incl. EHU & just about adequate WiFi)
Pretty obvious who wins the pi55ing contest round the campfire tonight:
South Dakota plates. I'm going to offer to show him mine if he'll show me his

Is Scotland still midgified at this time of year? We've only ever been to the Cairngorms and that was 30 years ago. If there is a single midge still in Scotland if I go there it is guaranteed that it will find me! Not so Mrs S who tastes foul it seems. This is an example of what happened to me when I fell asleep on a sunbed on our sandy pitch near the Camargue after a very long drive.
Just spent the last three day at the municipality campsite at St Martin sur Oust, on the banks of the Nantes/Brest canal, excellent base for cycling and walking along the canal, a short walk into the village for the bakery and bar, only problem - the showers were out of action for two days
Mlini near Dubrovnik is our home for the next few night. Weather supposed to be getting better later. But I guess that’s what bars are for.
