Will you be paying a cheeky trip to the Thornbridge Brewery Tap?
I love Bakwell. A few of us had a little meet up there at the start of the year.
Have a great time.

We should go and crash his party. lol
You'll have to get past his dogs first
@Fintious maximus its fairly Q, barely half full.
@Bigsidavies tempting, but I dont drink, I've scoped out a pub for lunch tomorrow but itll be San Pellegrino with my pie and chips.
I love Bakewell too. Browsing the estate agents windows. Mrs Sasquatch joi s me jn retirement in the spring, then in 2 years when the youngest leaves school well move one last time. I've been priced out of my homeland (Cornwall) unless I take another mortgage, and that ain't gonna happen, so the peaks is on the list. Can get a good sized place up here within our existing means.

A couple of conflict management dogs or bichon frise?
.Cornwall’s gone to sh1t, a few years ago we walked the coast path from Plymouth into Cornwall, I didn’t hear a Cornish accent for 8 days until we reached Lizard.
Hardcastle Crags above Hebden Bridge. Approached via an insanely steep corkscrew of a lane.
You got the bikes? I was mountain biking up there the other week. Some great natural trails around Hebden.

Aka the fudge trudge.
Got my van done think it was June time with can coat. After a full decon etc. Have topped up with fusso couple weeks back. Unreal combo.It hasn’t actually been cleaned for a couple of weeks but thanks.
It’s last wash I topped up with Gyeon Wet coat…. View attachment 307380
I use this after washing every 4 weeks, and it just tops up the Gyeon CanCoat ceramic layer. I rate it highly and I think it’s as good as anything else of similar product and it’s extremely easy to use. After washing with your shampoo and you’ve rinsed off, while the panels are still wet, spray this over a panel at a time and leave it for only a few seconds and then again rinse off with loads of water, going over and over the panel with the pressure washer and it will activate and you notice immediate beading and water repellency. Once all the van/car is done then dry off normally with a microfibre.
It will last for 3 months, but as my van isn’t a daily and only used for holidays or days out it probably lasts a little longer than if it was used daily. It can also be used on the glass, which some other ceramic sprays can’t do, and works brilliant on wheels as you can spray into all the gaps and hard to reach areas.
If you can be arsed, I’d highly recommend doing a full detail of the van, snow foam, wash, iron/clay bar/and polish if needed and then 2x coats of Gyeon CanCoat Evo…..

This stuff, I think is extremely good! And again super easy to apply, and it’s the closest thing to a full ceramic coating from a pro you will get on your driveway doing it yourself.
Again after the full wash/detail, dry the van and then spray the CanCoat onto a microfibre pad and just wipe it over the panels in straight lines doing a panel at a time. Leave it for 2 mins and then buff off with a seperate microfibre. It needs a good couple of days to cure fully and shouldn’t really get wet within the first 24 hours but it gives an extremely good shine and gloss to the finish and the water beading is brilliant. And this coating should last a year before needing to do it again! Any dirt or rain just literally falls off the panels and it almost constantly looks like it’s just been washed, nothing will stick to it!
If you can’t be bothered with the CanCoat then the Wet coat can be used as a standalone product as a protective coating, but it works great paired with the CanCoat.
I’m not a car detailer or professional in any shape or form so others may have a much better idea of the products and have different opinions but I don’t use anything else now for the protection side of things on the camper or the cars.
The wet coat is about £25 for a litre which lasts a good few washes…. And the CanCoat is about £40 for 200ml.
Hope this helps
Good luck
Yeah gonna need more than luckGood luck
