Wild Camp A Month 2018 Challenge

Mrs Climber is no too well today so tomorrow's over nighter looks in doubt.
Hopefully Saturday will see us out even if it's locally.
Can't do the weekend afterwards and the one after that she's away for the weekend so at least I'm guaranteed to get out in the van.
Why is February so short?

Hope she is better soon

Sorry to hear Mrs C not too good John, got to take care of the family!

2/2 - Cullen, Friday Feb 9th overlooking the bay on a beautiful day, and a good walk before the sun went down and the wind got up; a cold night but made warmer by treating ourselves to take away Chinese food, and finishing a bottle of red. We didn't stay the next day as it was quite windy and not so much fun, but we may get away next weekend again if we are not babysitting the grand kids. Writing this on Saturday after lunch I'm beginning to regret heading home as the day has really brightened up again, but Pat has now gone shopping in Inverness, so it's the Winter Olympics for me now...

Looks a lovely spot - and blue skies I am beginning to forget what that looks like!

Cheers, we think there's light at the end of the tunnel, unfortunately there are only 2 weekends left in this month.

And both of those weekends she's got things on, I'll be away for one of them in the van.

So unless we get a mid week night out I think sh'e out of the dirty dozen already :cry:

Not out surely, just skipped a month due to ill health! Life gets in the way sometimes, not sure any of us will manage 12/12, like you say there are only so many weekends in a month and as working parents / grandparents time is not always our own. :egg: If this is a democratic group I vote on anyone who wants to be in being allowed to be in. Not my decision just my opinion.

Hi Jilly - would love to travel with a dog, but my home life doesn't make it practical to have one and my van is barely big enough just for me. My cat would sulk if I took him, and the parrot would have died in that cold! lol!

Sky was crystal clear, and cos out in the sticks the stars were *amazing*. Could see Edinburgh lights in the distance, and some lights from ships in the sea. But... did I mention how cold it was? ;-)

Are you going to do the challenge? Not too late to start - could always do January in 2019!

Grandsons first outing

At keyhaven with my grandson on his first time away in the van. He is singing twinkle twinkle little star and no sign of getting to sleep yet despite all the fresh air! image.jpg2/2

There are no prizes and no rules, but if she's not out in this month she can't be a 2/2, just a 1/2 it's the rules..... ;-)

Hi John, You missed my Feb wildcamp, The Masons Arms in Gargrave, I didn't make it easy to spot by labeling it wrong (1 of 2 instead of 2 of 2), However we are Lakes bound by mid week next week so I'll update again after that.
 
Herman 2/2

I'll be out for my 2/2 for a long weekend this weekend somewhere were the sun is shining with Archie, unfortunately Mr's Climber will be away with her mates in one of those new fangled hotel type things (they'll never catch on) down in that there London this long weekend, so she won't get her 2/2 in, unless we can get in a cheeky one, which looking at the calendar looks very doubtful.
 
Am all snuggled in the sleeping bag after a nice trip down to Arnside.
It made sense to incorporate my effort this month in conjunction with my trip to Glasson dock.

I actually had a boring night out parked up beside a row of shops earlier this month.
This was as part of a trip to visit parents & friends.

This is much nicer - photos to follow.
 
Like you reiverlad, I'm currently in bed in the van (with the heater on) with a view over to Holyhead from the north coast of Anglesey.

Will post up the photos when home but take a look at my spot for the night on this link to my photo page.

There's not many spots as good as this one.
A quiet lane with zero traffic and amazing views.

2/2 for me and Archie
Mrs Climber has failed :-(

Another amazing photo thanks
 
February night out

I have to admit that I don't use my van often enough and certainly not during winter but my interest was drawn to this challenge so I'm heading out tonight to record my February outing. It's forecast to be extremely cold and possibly snowing so I reckon I'll stay near sea level rather than head to the hills and hopefully avoid the worst of it. Roll on Springtime !
