I've been speaking to various locals over the last few hours, and hinting at wanting a BBQ. Everyone said go for it, then when lit, enjoy your supper etc. Pleasantly surprised.

It's been nice to say we've been shopping in the local Spar, drinking in the only bar that's open and supporting the town with a few quid.

This a place that permits 1 night in 7, which I think is the perfect approach.

So, ignore the Daily Fail, and get out in your vans responsibly :) We'll take all the rubbish obviously, and have a big bottle of water ready if anything went wrong...

Those two cars in the far corner ain't socially distanced, nab 'em.

Next headlines on front page of Hereford Times, "Hay on Wye carpark swamped with motorhomes"

Steve thank you for confirming you were not staying at Chernobyl suggested earlier in answer to me by Maingate. Steve can I just say love your home made Motorhome.Is that a 7.5 ton Car Licence driveable jobby and did you convert it yourself?Have you done a van tour anywhere showing the inside? Love it just love it.Glad you had a great time

keep safe you and family

I’m wae you all the way on this Steve it’s more enjoyable if you have the locals on side like you I think you have to talk to people and find the lay of the land before you start filing planning permission to the local council to park One night in a freckling car park. Good on ya.

Thanks. Yes, I have the 7.5t entitlement :)

Build thread here, for when you've got a spare 5 mins lol.

Our new little van

As many of you know, our boy - Tommy has duchenne muscular dystrophy. It's a muscle wasting condition, and he's got to the point where he was really struggling with the steps into our sprinter. So, we've bought something a little bigger with a wheelchair lift.... It was a mobile youth centre...
