Into Blue Yonder

[Blue yonder]

PCR test is booked for Monday and our ferry from Santander to Portsmouth has been confirmed for Wednesday so we're set to hit the road and enjoy our first night of camping in the new van called Blue Yonder (a Fiat Ducato Road Car R640)
Our extended stay working in the Costa del Sol has sadly come to an end and we are forced to return to Scotland but due to lockdown restrictions, Yonder which was built in Italy, converted in Germany and shipped to the dealer in Spain before being delivered to us seven weeks late, almost didn't make our departure date.
Here is our first photos of our new toy being delivered.
Ps thanks to Wild Camping for the discounted subscription rate which enticed me to become a full member.

Looks good. Will you be registering it in the UK or going back to Spain with it?

What timing!
Looks great, hope you have an uneventful trip back home. Long journey back to Scotland will give you practise with new van.

Thanks, I'm planning on being in the UK for three months and then I'll be heading back to Spain. Of course that is dependent on pandemic restrictions.

Sorry to crash your thread, but.
Second time I’ve seen a reference to “ France cyclist “ Do you mean French Crit Air ?

No, there is now some requirement for big vehicles to have stickers warning cyclists not to be stupid. I don't remember any more details sorry!

Nice, safe travels.

I’ve put French Cyclist stickers, into Google a couple of times, and only come up with Tour de France stickers.
Any idea how big a vehicle has to be to have a ( don’t be stupid) sticker?
Would my 3.3 ton panel van need one?
It sounds like I’m having a panic. I do wish that was so. That would mean I was going somewhere

Heres the thread discussing it. Not needed at 3.3 tonnes.
