From complete silence to that with no warning was a"'What the **** was that moment"!

Well that was a first - we went away last night to one of our favourite 'secret' places deep into the Galloway forest. Awoken about 11pm by an enormous engine noise. Well it was only an army Hercules flying at what must have been 200ft above us. (We only knew because it flew back over this...

E6 - check your fan blade isnt catching, you will be able to tell by listening to it.

Its a very narrow road (with some gates) and hairpins at the dent end, but plenty of places to pass. should be fine with a 6m van. Plenty of spots to spend the night as well.(especially near the end of the track to fell end farm)

I was here a couple of years ago in a land rover with a few friends also in land rovers (well, a few hundred friends actually).

Probably my error in the title of the thread as well! - apologies. I have used them quite a bit, and often had very friendly chats with the forest rangers, in fact one very local to me has said they will turn a blind eye to people staying longer. As usual, the rules are there in case they see...

Not sure I understand - we are not being treated any differently at all - they have not said anywhere you cannot park there during the day. I believe FLS are far more in tune with our interests than many local councils.

I think the intention is to prevent people setting up a camp during the daytime and using it like a camp site - parking to go walking or whatever is certainly not being stopped and I do this all the time for mountain biking on the 7 stanes forest sites. I think the forestry organisation should...

Probably donations required this time, probably around £5/ night. More details here

As usual from Cameron, good advice, and not done in a preaching way like some do. Most of us on here will know all this already, and its probably second nature now, but this video should be shared as much as possible. Worth 6 minutes of your time, I hope.

Until tonight on selected sellers As usual there are a lot of expensive places so not much of a bargain, but this place does Cello 12v tvs etc, https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/fergusontv or http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/kenmorecaravans https://pages.ebay.co.uk/coupons/2021/txwo8/index.html for a...

This guy speaks so much sense, but better still he has the ear of the government (usually!) He is also not afraid to be outspoken, in the cause of campervans.

Joe, As Guy says - have a look at post 93 above, but a few things I would add if you are buying one - the interior will speak for itself, as to condition etc, but let me know if you want some interior pics of mine, but beware they are all slightly different layouts! Check the roof for any impact...

-21 in Braemar this morning!

Doesnt sound like its getting any charge. All lead acid batteries self discharge (usually over a couple of months). Alternators often take a very small amount of current when off as well, I suspect, as above your battery is goosed unfortunately.

I just use a 12v oil transfer pump (£10 from lidl) to fill a couple of jerry cans from my CH oil tank for my diesel heater.

Ebay has 20% off certain traders till tomorrow- eg 100ah lithiums for around £400. https://www.ebay.co.uk/e/coupon-offers/sale1120-motorhome-parts-accessories https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Selected-Promotions/bn_7116140159?_trkparms=%26clkid%3D7954200762698592962

Down to -10 here in Dumfries and Galloway, but has meant a stunning starry dark sky.

Would normally be out and about in the highlands at this time of year, but its going to be -12C tonight in Braemar, so feel lucky we are at a cosy -8C tonight here in the S of Scotland! I once went camping in Braemar when it got to -17C - needless to say we spent a lot of the night sleeping in...

This is probably the best value high spec lead carbon - the only catch is they are out of stock, and wont be in till mid to late January according to Alpha. For me, I am happy to wait till then, as they represent a good compromise...
