Vodafone have ramped my prices for both our phone contracts up somewhat and there are much better deals out there. Ive tried the usual "Im leaving" tactic but only got a 15% discount and its still a good bit more for less data than I can get with the others which are Talkmobile, Asda Mobile...

Just thinking ahead for this years trip(s) if it comes off. Ive had a second EE sim (Vodafone is my main contract) for years but its old hat, a nightmare and expensive to top up and needs chucking. Just scouting around and a 30 day EE Sim for 125gb is £30 a month but then I found this with...

I posted about the gas locker the other day but I've just noticed that two windows (Kitchen and same side rear lounge) and the hab door frame have been damaged also. Well Michelle noticed, not Mr unobservant! Looks like the Kitchen window has been jemmied, the rear lounge window (Same side)...

My 1996 Swift Kontiki 640 came back from the garage last week after a long stint in their "care" with its gas locker door broken. Looks like its been forced open or its just fallen to bits. The lock still works but there is no plastic lock bar on the end of the metal bit that turns. See pics...

Sorry if its been covered but their site has been down for ages apparently and is now making the news. Its been rubbish for as long as I can remember and it now looks like their systems are well and truly Fubared. This could have big consequences if it is a security breach...

Not made up this time. German van in Las Dunas right now Spain apparently. o_O

I could do with replacing my ancient Ring RAC tyre inflator which has been used for bikes, cars and the motorhome. The only thing wrong with it is the pressure gauge no longer works so I have to keep taking it off and checking the pressure with a pencil type guage. I seem to be confronted with...

In the vans I mean. Currently sandwiched between two mountains on the foothills of Helvellyn in the Lake District in the Thirlmere Valley Its not been as bad as I feared so far. I think with the wind coming from the west the mountain opposite is is perhaps sheltering us a bit. We had one clap...

This weekend. Been lovely. Cold but lovely. Now Storm Debi threatens to blow us off the mountain tomorrow so all I Can do is open the bar. Been a good end to a fabulous (if a bit long) trip. Mainly Derwent water, Thirlmere and Elterwater

Noticed this morning the steering was heavy. As we didn't have far to go to the next CL I kept going. About 22 miles, mainly in a straight line. Absolute nightmare to maneuver onto the CL. Took the lid off the power steering reservoir and it's virtually empty apart from a dreg. Looks like...

Just a heads up if your an occasional EE PAYG SIM user like me. I had the Devil's job getting mine topped up today and impossible to just buy a new one. I'm heading up to the Lake District tomorrow where I know EE is the only game in town. I had not used my EE sim since Christmas so expecting...

The plastic bed runners that support the pull out bed slats on our 1996 Swift Kontiki are once again on their last legs. They get brittle and break in places and unless you have spare sections (which I do carry) your literally stuffed when they break. Broke a section this morning, cut a new...

I think I've posted about this before but this is a brilliant scheme for those of you that have mobility issues. I posted about the partner scheme a while back in the lake District. I think it's worth mentioning again as the countryside Mobility scheme in the south west is brilliant. On this...

After boasting about how great my single 120ah AGM battery I got off @RichardHelen262 for fifty quid with my MPPT controller and 100w panel I now fear it's not enough. The reason for that is Mrs Bingo. She got that used to having off grid leccy in the legendary summer of 2022 she just can't...

Still in Salcombe area. Been out Kayaking today from Salcombe south beach. Weather still mixed but not been too bad. Some fabulous properties down here. Few pics

Dilemma time. Currently in South Devon probably for another week or so just outside Salcombe and we love it here. The next stop was going to be near Lyme Regis in West Dorset for a week at a CL we went to last year. From there we were going to slowly head east all along the south coast...

Been here nine days now after a couple of weeks touring through Wales. Weather has not been a patch on last summer but better than forecast. Regardless it's been a hoot here so far bombing about on the scooter and also the all terrain Trampers you can hire all over which are great if one of you...

Got a bit of a wobble on I think my front side drivers wheel. Exactly the same thing happend in the south of France in 2017. Just happens on left hand bends. Last time it turned out to be a wheel bearing but I drove it 1000 miles home like that. As we have just started this summer's tour best I...

I think this will eventually be a CL or CS. Opened late last year and it's currently listed as an Aire on search for sites. Been here two nights and leaving tomorrow. Only us here. £15 without ehu or £20 with. Very well laid out. Bit tight getting in the actual CL but no problem really...

I just bought a new Lenovo Thinkpad E15 to replace my aging Lenovo Thinkpad. Of course its now a USB C charger type. I can run it off my Bestek 300w inverter of course but for my old one I had a dedicated 12v charger which now of course wont fit. Im thinking this one will do it. Charger says...
