Looks like there could be far worse places to be parked up! Look forward to to pictures of the better place. 🙂🙃🙂
 
New area planned for us this weekend in the van.
Derbyshire and Bakewell if our goal with a wild camp on the way home on Saturday night :drive:

11/11 Wallace Statue NR Newton St Boswells

Pretty *meh* evening as was dark when arrived so sat in the passenger's seat and watched Netflix downloads while drinking tea.

So like a night in at home, but less comfy...

But gorgeous sunrise made for a lovely morning breakfast. The drive back through the Cheviot foothills was also reinvigorating.

In the spirit of 'Rules are there to be broken', I'm going to celebrate 12/12 by returning to my favourite Challenge spot from this year. xA

As some of you know I wild camp under canvas using my bike as transport each month as well.
Here's a shot from this morning my 32nd Bivi a month in a row, number 11/11 for 2018

Does anyone want to look after the 2019 thread like I did this year?

You simply count up and do a mid month round up and an end of the month round up.
 
Bit of a delay in getting away this month, our van had braking issues following the MOT, but we finally managed to get down to Glasgow for a couple of days to clock up 11/11 for November; we cheekily stayed in a vacant car park for a couple of nights on 22 -24 November and hit the town by bus. Cold weather, but not too bad and we even saw a fox whilst having breakfast on our final morning, but it was too quick to photograph!!

One more month to complete the challenge...
:goodluck:
 
Been a crazy month for getting away. Youngest daughter in hospital for a week, a trip to Norway to help our son move, one weekend for babysitting grandchildren and son in laws 40th bash ate into the final weekend. I'm hoping that being away tonight will count as 11/11 even though strictly speaking only half the night will be in Nov. Photo in the morning as too dark now.
 
Thursday night

Squeezed in November on Thursday 29th.
That's 10/11 as we didn't have the motorhome last January
Perfect spot for walking and mountain biking.
It even has MTB trails in the woods, 1 blue, 1 red and 2 blacks with built up jumps.
Thankfully i have never seen the barrier used.
Also within easy cycling of two good pubs.
