the road is calling

My feet itch all the time to get going - but the bank wont give me any money! - we are just working out a trip to cover Ullapool to the Lakes, Milton Keynes down to Surrey across to Southampton, Weymouth, back to Southampton (don't ask) then Wales, Leighton Moss poss Abernethy, not got any further yet and with the price of petrol might have to push the van some of the way and who said I was joking.

your T2 will be ok (look after her and she will look after you, so I am told) the new forest eh, so far I have managed to get away with overnighting but not every body has.
Take care and as I mentioned if you reach the Western Isles look out for the white T25 it the only resident tin top on the Isle of Lewis.
 
we cannot wait to get back on the road after our 18 months of living in our van living in bricks again is ok but i still prefer the van .gotta save a bit of cash as our van needs tax and mot .we have finnished the flat we live in and have just about settled our daughter in one close to us so now any spare cash we have will be put into the van ,we wont be living in it full time now but hope to be having a few week away in at a time with a bit of luck it wont need too much for the mot as i have kept up with the maintainance pretty well over the 5 years we have had it and all the past mots have not been a problem its usualy passed ist time but we will have to see .
 
itchy feet and the road...

Yes itchy feet,will give it a month or so,before the sand and sea of the Agean methinks,but here locally within 150 ish miles round trip,regularly to get out of the house.
The last week or so,has been blue skies and sun,which is very tempting but still a little cold at night,just checked thermometer,in the shade 10 c and in full sun 30 c ? so i guess,the tele weather report is about right at 16 c,here in Bulgaria.
The snowdrops have been out over 2 weeks,the Daffs and tulips are coming up,and the roses are budding thier leaves,so Spring here is well on the way,can wear a t-shirt outside here,if moving about but forme still a little cold to just sit around in it without a sweatshirt or similar,so busy in the garden if not out in the camper.
Was going to take my neighbour to see his relatives in Greece today (and pop in Lidls)untill he turned up,in his work clothes,swaying about half cut at 8'30 am?? asking to go as he's ready,a weird lot on times these Bulgarians .....
 
major itchy feet!

major itchy feet folks! cant wait to get out on the road. bongo is having some repairs done soon then we'll have to try her out a few times before we go far......but starting to buy bits and bobs now and make lists of where we want to go and what we:) want to see........
 
MOT-ing the van between now and the end of the month, then start off the year with a weekend meet up with a few friends 1st weekend in March.
 
Arctic blast

According to my newspaper today, the weather will turn cold next week with snow and temps of -10 in Scotland and the North.

Only -5 in the South though.....jammy beggars. :D

It will last well into march. :mad:

drove in my peugot boxer from norwich to aberdeen to visit son etc for xmas. the A1 in northumberland below berwick on tweed was incredible. like a little country lane with massive potholes and uncleared of snow and ice, 20 mph job. the laybys were impossible to get in/out and berwick was like an alaskan village.

Had to chuckle when I read this - I live in north Northumberland and you could not have described it better :D It always amazes everyone here that the 2 major routes from the south to the north of the county - A1 and A697 (which is close to where I live) very rarely see a gritter or snow plough. Spare a thought for those of us that have to travel to work along these roads :eek:

On the more positive side - can't wait to get out in my mini homemade, beloved camper. Half term in a week and although it's still bl**dy freezing and I have no heating at all am still determined to have a night or 2 away somewhere. Still need to find away of making the bed a bit bigger though before I go - my delightful Springer Maisy, thinks it's her right to have more of the bed than me :rolleyes:
