Wild Camp A Month 2018 Challenge

Our very first 'wild camp'!

Yesterday, Sunday 7th May, we set off for our first wild camp, even though the conversion is not yet complete. We kept it quite local - about 10 - 12 miles away from home at Norton car park, Ham Hill country park, Somerset. We are familiar with the area, often walk the dogs there, but never camped out 'wild' in a camper van before. This a beautiful spot, with glorious views, and, last night there was a wonderful sun set, but I left it a little late getting the photograph, but I will attempt to attach it to this note. Hopefully, this was the first of Many wild camps

Tim.

Your a brave man with no taup over you, when I used to go off roading on of the lads used to sleep in a hammock but with another rope tied a couple of feet higher and a taup stretched over to keep the rain and dew off him.

Northumberland cottage booked from Saturday to Saturday (in 8 days time)

I've talked Mrs Climber into leaving on Friday in the van stopping over between Carlisle and Newcastle and a great little spot we know (one of those secret spots we all have) and coming home with a stop over somewhere else on the Saturday night afterwards as well. :dance::dance::dance:

So for out day trips out we'll have the comfort of a mobile kitchen, sofa, better view and a bed to chill out overlooking the beaches.
Oh and my bike will fit in the garage as well :camper::cheers::fun:

Overlooking Portsmouth

Hello all
Had a great weekend parked on the top of Portsdown Hill overlooking Portsmouth.
Very close to home but felt like a mini holiday.
Went to see the poppy wave at Fort Nelson and the George Inn for a couple of beers and lots of cycling and walking.
Tidied all the litter from the area before we left and as a bonus found a fiver someone had dropped! Result.
