Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[Drive Wayne]

Is anyone else sleeping in their van on Christmas Day night? View attachment 312345
Xmas dinner at the father in law’s then a trip to the stepson’s for an evening with the kids and their friends. Then a night on the FIL’s driveway.

If I hadn't been under the affluence of incohol, it could have been a better night than being home alone with a snoring doggo! Wifey on a night shitf. I have cheese footballs though and Stranger Things to look forward to in a couple of hours, could be worserer...

At home in Northampton, our stay on a driveway was back in October at the BILs birthday party and only just managed to get through the night without the walk of shame, I had threatened to pee through the letter box if they locked us out.

A friend of mine once caught someone wazzing through his letterbox. He rammed the flap down from inside and painfully trapped the guy there via his nadger while his missus called the police.

Turns out he'd committed a rape sometime prior so the dibble were quite pleased to take him away.

Drove up to Lytham - place was heaving with dog walkers, a few campervans too. Gorgeous weather.
On the way we passed a fuel station with big queues; selling diesel at 1.309/litre, not surprised. Managed to squeeze in 45litres. It felt like Christmas had come early

Well, it was Christmas Eve actually - but only just awoken from a Turkey and Mince Pie induced coma and able to post...

So, took the Faithful Donkey and my son in his mountain-goat-like Fiat Panda 4x4 into the Shropshire hills to find some loverly squishy greenlanes to bumble along...obvs there is a video that you can link to from my thread right here.

Macc Forest for a stroll.





Nice and early for breakfast in the van before it got busy.

Last time we were here was only our second trip out in the van, just after being released from lockdown. It was bedlam!

Had a trip to pick up a new work van today



(but it didn’t have a VW badge!)

Thrunton Woods, near Rothbury for a dog walk, brew and pack-up. Tried to stop off at Cragside but it was rammed so no parking spaces. Will save that one for another day....

Return leg - split mid way with a stop at friends.

Roads were very quiet and l managed it in 10 and half a hours including a 30 min detour to and from highway to the friends house for a 3.5deg dip in the mountain river.

We’re staying with friends in Upton near Poole so we took the opportunity to go and see the sea.

Deepest darkest Wiltshire, the plastering can wait a few days, beautiful sunset followed by a moonlit walk to give our pony a banana and half a wedge of hay which she enjoyed.

Sounds fishy to me!

Off the scales...

Nobody spotted the pub name and 50% off an whole dolphin still filled our Waeco fridge.



The middle shot is looking towards @Insertcoins gaffe and the bottom is our getaway vehicle to France for the last couple of years.

White tail eagle, taking small kids around the harbour for £5, cheaper than the boat.
