All 5 of the vans gears have worked to perfection, it's been a great trip and now 4 days to chill before a couple of nights trusting to search for sites on the return leg next week.
How did the 6th gear go Wayne?

@drinfinity Sorry, can't comment on Montpellier but things aren't too bad down here at Collioure but that's 200Km away. That said, it also seems to be getting hotter - we got back to the van at around 1745 hrs local time today:

Positively cool in Bruges now in comparison!
Churches were the place to be!

New job induction training in Colne, Lancashire for 3 days. Rather than a 110 mile round trip each day I naturally took the van!
Stopped over for £20 a night at a basic farm site 3 miles up the road and just commuted there and back each day in the van
Basic but clean loos and great views. Park where you like, wasn't busy.
Just threw a camp bed in as it's a trip to Scotland week after next to The Ply Guys to finally get their Argyll bed / drawer fitted!

Some birds are just without shame!
Leaving shortly for Calais...

Ooh, get it of there before it etches into the clear coat. 
The reason I had the van up-plated! 300kg of extra liquids!!

Picked up a stonechip on the windscreen on the A16, starting to grow now! Eek...
Well, what a trip, 1278 miles, a cracked windscreen, a tripped CU, a broken poptop bedboard, France, Belgium and Amsterdam and a Labrador so happy to see us return!
Fantastic adventure!

How did you find Dyfi? Never ridden it but the you tube vids scare me a bit lol.
Love Mull and Fidden Farm is a great site. Walk out at low tide and you’ll find all the seals.
Well, after a great week with some forum friends we are the last to leave.
Just chilling out near Bergues before we get the ferry tomorrow.
Going back into town in a little while to the brewery taproom of West Hoek brewery.

@Drive Wayne - Presumably your insurance will cover. When mine went in Italy a couple of years ago I spoke with my insurance company and got them to agree to pay for an original VW heated screen - I span them some ballox about the van being under warranty and a non-OEM might invalidate any claims for electrical faults and they bought it. That said, I did have to wait an extra couple of months before Auto Windscreens could get one in to do the job because there are none available here or Germany (at least, that's what they said anyway).
Naturally insurance will cover it, with £100 excess of course. Fortunately only a boggo povertyline non heated screen. My worry is the increasing insurance premiums!
@Drive Wayne. Somebody else might confirm (or deny it) but I don't think replacement screens generally impact on future premiums. It should be written somewhere in the policy.
Genuinely… give me everything ago. What have you rode before. My opinion is swayed as I’ve been riding in Morzine since I was 16
@Dellmassive where is this site please?
I don’t do much trail centre stuff but ride a lot of natural stuff in the dark peak. Just been up in Tarland and Ballater in Scotland and happy to ride black stuff up there.
No probs with anything at Degla etc.
Had Morzine booked and covid got it cancelled and never rebooked it.
