  1. Lake Annecy

    Annecy is a bit special, there is so much to see and do, and because of that it's very busy. Knowing this in advance, we decided that for once in our lives we would not be tight fisted, and that it was worth a few bob to enjoy the very short walk into the town nice and relaxed. Our campsite...
  2. Wissant. France

    That was the the reason I didn't stay there. On a warm day the rag and smell lying around the drain was dreadful. ☹️
  3. One for Admin

    That was the van of my dreams. A proper van to go anywhere and do anything. Sadly, when I finally had the time to drive one I was too old. I firmly believe that the only things you truly regret in life are the things you don't do. 😭
  4. Sliding door stop

    I suppose you've done this, but if not, click the link to the sellers name in 'Post 3' above, and then press the blue 'CONTACT' button. 'jeffthenut' is still actively trading, his reviews are good, and I would be astonished if he reply to you quickly.
  5. Happy 20th Birthday Wild Camping

    I'm a newish member having joined almost 11 years ago on 5th April 2012. It's a really friendly and helpful place to belong, primarily due to the way Phil manages us all. Very best wishes for Wild Camping future success, and thank you! 👍
  6. Poland

    I was trying to ignore WWII and associated places, but I must add that the modern restaurants in Krakow's Jewish Quarter Kazimierz and Schindlers Factory are excellent. I asked a Polish friend who said that I might not like Warsaw as it was totally destroyed during the war, but it's good to...
  7. Poland

    I travelled around Poland in 2015 and had a great time. It's important to remember that places worth visiting in towns can sometimes be surrounded by typical communist blocks of flats. Also you will find some facilities as incredibly basic. Swinoujscie Ferry is free. Kolobrzeg if you like...
  8. Good news

    Thanks Annie, being a Bangers & Mash fan the sound of their July "Gin & Sausage" festival sounds right up my street. 😄
  9. Cleaning over-cab

    Trust me, if you had the various length of 10ft high laurel hedging and trees that I have, and compare it against the cost of a gardener in the south east, £300 pays for itself in no time. Washing the roof of my camper completely safely and securely each year is just a bonus. I'm into profit...
  10. Cleaning over-cab

    Henchman is the make of tripod ladder I bought. They bunged in three rubber foot boots at no extra cost, and they are really handy for pavia's, tarmac, etc. Regarding stability, I've a folding aluminium ladder that effectively becomes four feet, and yes, the tripod ladder is far more stable on...
  11. Cleaning over-cab

    I've fallen off my aluminium ladder a couple of times when pruning trees and 10ft laurel hedging. It hurts. ☹️ So I bought a tripod ladder which is fully adjustable for my steep garden, and incredibly stable for washing my camper's roof when used with a telescopic soft brush. It's paid for...
  12. Cloud inversion

    I've never forgotten the incredible sight of the Brocken spectre below me on the Ben. 👍
  13. Spot the motorhome.

    Looks a superbly quiet location. Where is it please (only roughly.... I'm not trying to steal your remote place. 🙂)
  14. Spot the motorhome.

    Well my guess is that your van is the out of focus little blob directly at the waterline, 100 yds to the right of the house.
  15. Is Astra 2 down tonight?

    We pack our van with DVDs that we love, and return home without watching anything. We've developed a passion for German card or board games, and it gives us a chance to talk or just argue. 🙂 OK, I'm not helping...... sorry. ☹️
  16. Oh woe is me,

    I feel your pain and am trying to be helpful. When I built a Kitcar I had a schematic wiring diagram. I set the loom into three components, a rear loom, dashboard, and front loom I laid out the cables across the floor in the front room, and as I measured and cut each component wire I fixed a...

    Whenever I visit Kirkudbright I try always to visit the Library Town Hall art gallery in St Mary Street. My last visit was to see the Hokusai exhibition in 2019. They are currently showing the "Galloway Hoard: Viking Age Treasure" until 10th July 2022, and it's free to enter. I'm so pleased to...

    Thanks Annie That's a stunning sandy beach, and I didn't know it existed. 👍
  19. Totally new with no mechanical know how

    When I bought my first motorhome from a dealer I drove the van from a side road, up a motorway for about 4 miles, turned a roundabout, and returned, where I bought it He was genuinely surprised I'd made a decision to buy so quickly. I didn't tell him it wasn't the van, but it was him that was...
  20. Totally new with no mechanical know how

    You tell us that you've been a caravanner, and so you haven't that big a leap of faith to make. We've a solar panel and don't watch much telly, preferring a sherbet whilst we play board or card games. So power is not an issue. For us it's always about water. Whilst I can last four days when I...
