1st of December and I'm here on Anglesey on my own as I was on a pack raft training course today and I'm meeting up with mates to go bike riding tomorrow.
Here in the van, just fed the local fox on my 12/12
That's it I've done it Wild Campervan a Month 2018 :wacko::cool1::banana::sleep-027::dance:

Thanks John for starting this and updating it, and to all who have took part, been great reading and looking at the pics, think Annie should get a challenge to be at home two weeks a month, what do you think Annie?:lol-049::lol-049::lol-049::lol-049::lol-049::lol-049:

December wild camp as mentioned above.

Friday night (November's 2nd outing)

Saturday was a white water pack rafting training course in Snowdonia

This was my 12/12 at Newborough forest on Anglesey
(yes there are no overnight camping signs, but that didn't stop me and 2 others to wild camp responsibly)

This was a shot of one of the neighbours who came to say hello to the side door on the van as I parked up after dark

On Sunday I met up with 9 mates and we rode fat bikes about the beaches and sand dunes

The weather was windy but sunny

And a wheelie to celibate my 12/12

Now I just need to get out under canvas for my 12/12 bivi a month (due on the 15th December)
Then I think I'm going to step down from both challenges, so I'll need someone who can take the 2019 challenge forward in January please

Yes I did but forgot to take any pictures I was out with a few others in Oxford and had a night out on my own too

Thank you for the challenge over the last year John, (still to do my December). Unfortunately I do not have enough free time to be certain I could complete a second year as this year was tough enough, so unfortunately i cannot take your offer of running the thread but I look forward to trying and will certainly support it, or we could do it as a group and any of us can round up the posts.

John has done a great job this year (thanks John) but now we are up and running couldn’t we just post our own tallies? It’s more about seeing where others are enjoying their vans for me, I’m not so worried about the rules.

 

[Alnwickist]

12/12! 2018 Challenge complete! Scottish Borders

Woo-hoo!

Conscious decision to rule-bend for my last trip, and returned to my favourite place from this last year - which was my first stop in January. Just as lovely as I remembered.



Think have got this wildcamping itch out of the system now - have learned loads about minimalist living, and feel ready to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Will probably just do a couple of trips a year from now on.

Thanks so much @JohnClimber for organising this. Glad to have found this group - probably wouldn't have made half of these trips without this challenge. Please call in for another cup of tea if you find yourself passing through Alnville.

And thanks everyone for sharing your stories over the year. Been lovely to watch your travels.

Please can I have a Dancing Banana now? xA

12/12:cheers: Southport. Wet and wild.

Finally managed to clock 12/12 for 2018, we took the van to Inverness to check out somewhere to park up on 31st December for a Hogmanay event, and found a quiet spot within walking distance of pubs in town and the event location; so we parked up for the night...


If the weather is favourable next week we will be there again.

Happy Christmas to all the other Challenge members, 2019 is coming soon, so good luck with the next Challenge, and start thinking where you'll be going next year.

December's free stopover

That's 12 out of 12 for us.....Penkridge. Very quiet night, used as half-way stop on our way to relatives in the Cotswolds. Saturday night, and it was very wet.
