I'm out too. Not had chance due to a mixture of storms, work and life getting in the way. I also now live in the van 3 nights a week as I'm working from home but as I park up on my mates drive and use his home facilities that's cheating so I sharn't be counting those nights. Plan on getting out...

1/1 Happy New Year Back out in the Lakes over New Year but had to cut it short as the van's losing coolant. Hopefully back on the road again in time for Feb, but least Jan's ticked off.

No it's the Carrock Fell OR's on the POI map but technically its Caldbeck Common. Not sure if the LR Carrock fell is affected as I didn't go in that way.. I'll check it out next time I'm passing

There are a few signs scattered and easily missed. There's plenty of places you could park up without actually seeing any of them so how they expect people to obey the request is anyone's guess. There were quite a few vans parked up overnight.

Stayed overnight and this morning noticed a no overnighting sign. Bugger.

12/12 Another short visit into my "backyard". Nice quiet area at this time of year, but some people really do know how to ruin it. Picked up enough rubbish to fill a bin liner. Going back out for New Year for a few days too with the aim of using the van even more in 2020.

Quite possibly the only person I've heard saying they like the tins of cheese possessed. It was evil stuff. Once out of the tin you could nail it to a stick and use it as a rubber hammer :ROFLMAO:

11/11 - 1 to go. Out and about through the Lakes yesterday and today. It is my local area but really don't get the chance to see it during the spring and summer as I know what the roads are like.... chaos!! Stopped at a few spots but only took pics from overnight stop.

Venturing into the Lake District now that the vast majority of the tourists have vanished. It's pretty much on my doorstep, but touring the area in summer isn't worth the hassle.

Used to run Falkens on my car. Never had any issues with them and I was told by the tyre garage that they are the economy branch of Michellin. How true that is though I couldn't say

10/10 Just back from a few days travelling around the Trossachs, Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park and Galloway Forrest. Stopped 1 night per region, 1 being a campsite nr Largs. Overnight stop nr Loch Chon before proceeding to the cafe at Stronachlachar Pier the following morning for coffee and...

9 of 9. Just got Sept in after having the service and MOT work completed, plus a few minor interior upgrades and exterior tart up (I really must update my build thread :LOL:) I managed just the one night near Consett on Friday. Was planning a 2nd night near Morpeth but a domestic issue that...

She's off the road atm :( My van is broken😭

Bugger :(

Nothing stopping you joining in now, get your eye in ready for next year:wave:

8 of 8, how wet was August! Couple of weeks ago we had a week down in Derbyshire on a site as just needed a few days where I could chill and not think about where to go for the following night and be able to open a few beers. Turns out we had the site to ourselves for 3 nights and then 1 night...

7 of 7 Got July in early (for a change), another fairly local (50 mile round trip) stopover this month. Life getting in the bloody way atm. Wish I'd taken my DSLR, as the digital zoom in on the camera phone really doesn't do that sunset justice.

6 done. Halfway there. Spent the weekend up on the Pennine Way and within walking distance to the pub which was a bonus.

5 of 5 Spent a couple of days around Arnside/Silverdale/Grange, but sorry to disappoint on the photos but tbh, the layby at the Rivriere de le Grange wasn't what you'd call picturesque....

4 of 4 Finally managed to get out over Easter weekend. blimey what a weekend to pick, scorcher. Hopped over the border to Langholm on Saturday and then back to Cumbria on Easter Sunday
