Have I missed anyone?

 

[Herman]

I think you've missed Wheelie, then it's just Forresbroons, Petabix and John Climber to check in.

 

[Wheelie]

Thanks Herman!

Didn't notice the omission, so thanks!
How was Dolwyddelan? Stopped there for a cuppa many times but never overnight, any traffic noise? Bwlch y Gorddinan (Crimea Pass) is a lovely drive but attracts boy racers, and will probably get worse when the average speed cameras are in use on the "Evo Triangle" (Cerrigydrudion area - A5, A543, B4501)

 

[Obanboy666]

Well that’s my wildcamping finished for the next few months. 2nd knee replacement in 2 weeks time then when recovered and driving again changing back to an A or C class.

Just spotted this thread...

Obviously we stayed multiple nights in some areas but max 2 nights in any one spot.
Some pics on Motorhomer site in the Lairds thread on where are you tonight?
Great trip and ready for our next one hopefully beginning next week?

I didn't notice any road noise at all, very peaceful.

Camp on your drive and we will ignore the fact that it's the same spot each month:dance:

Hope the op goes well and that you are able to get around again soon. Love to see some pictures of your new van when it arrives.

5/5 at Banff

A weekend of reasonable weather finally tempted us to venture a little way down the coast to Banff and stop overnight at CR Banff 2 on 11th May.



We used to go here about 25 years ago in our caravan with the kids and dogs, when the Boyndie Bay Caravan site (now called Banff Links Caravan site) went to the edge of the sea, and it was great fun in the sand and surf.



We parked up around mid-day and, apart from a few dog walkers and cyclists, we were able to sit undisturbed watching the sights and sounds around us. We went for a couple of walks, before the wife decided a visit to the spotty bag shop was in order.



Climbing up the hill behind us took us onto the A98, and few few yards away from a bus stop to take us into town. Later, Spotty bag shop finished, we strolled back around the harbour to check out the pubs, and took a gentle bimble back along the new wall at Scotstown back to Banff links; our peaceful stop was taken over by another 3 MHs, but they were friendly enough not to cause us any discomfort. So that was 5/5 clocked up.... Weather looking even better this week so we might head off to the West coast or the Black Isle for a few days at the end of the week, Grandchildren/babysitting duties permitting!!

 

[Tonybvi]

Ha, the famous Spotty Bag shop!! For some obscure reason we often get the Stagecoach Spotty Bag shop liveried bus on our local route (Aberdeen - Banchory - Ballater - Braemar) and I occasionally get asked about the shop. How can one describe it? I just tell people to go and see it for themselves.
We were wilding at Findhorn this weekend and I’m only just recovering from the Kimberly Inn fish and chips - what a feast.

 

[campervanannie]

My 5/5 daan saaf nice spot for fishing or just s paddle.

 

[Jillygumbo]

5/5 so far this month:
Tarr Steps, Exmoor - meal in pub was expensive but worth it. Stayed in the disabled car park right next to the Steps. Lovely walk along river.
Coed Parc y Van, Caerphilly - can be frequented by druggies at weekends but Monday night was quiet. Nice lady feeding the birds in the morning.
tiny car park outside Trefin, Pembrokeshire - lovely view, short walk to little beach, good walking, old fashioned village, very quiet.

5/5 Sheffield

A lovely meal and free overnight stay at The Three Merry Lads, 610 Redmires Road, Sheffield. S10 4LJ. There's a minimum spend of £20 in the pub (otherwise they charge £8 to camp) and hook up is also available if needed. I think there are two hook up points, but I'm not sure how much they charge.
The food is great, and it's a large flat car park next to a quiet road. Dog friendly, beer garden, play area, nice walks. Close enough to Sheffield to visit the city. Highly recommended.
