Puts it a month before the Saunders so it'll be a nice chance to remember how to use a map and compass!

I want her as PM. Funnily enough I asked her to stand in the next leadership contest and said I hoped that it would be sooner rather than later :D

Still waiting to pick mine up, but it's a compact motorhome not a camper. We spent 4 months looking from July. Started local around...

So if you had waited a few weeks, you could have waved to Llani Boy when you passed each other, you going south to Bakewell and he going north to...

There might be a letter winging its way to you both Pete. I've just got my letter today and once logged on to the site there was a choice of venues...

We are both registered with the same GP and I just got a link sent via SMS from them to book a time slot. I presume my wife's will turn up in the...

I notice Hungary has approved the use of a Chinese vaccine, I think I might decline if I was to be offered this one.

I’ll third the porta potti recommendation. Last summer with many campsites not offering facilities due to covid, our porta potti had to deal with the...

entered! (just the short mind - v.little chance of being fit enough for long)

Steam? Bike? Horse!? When I were a lad we'd mek do wi a suck o' watter from t'bog. And a bike!? We'd be lucky if we 'ad two 'alf decent legs what wi...

I think the correct term used by campers is "Off grid", but I couldn't think of it at the time. Basically anything that isn't a campsite with all...

Me as well; I'm going on Saturday.

My letter came yesterday and I've booked in at the nearest hub which is Hathersage. I chose next Monday rather than the first opportunity which was...

Wild Camping? I always thought that Wild Camping was an overnight stop in the sticks, getting there under one's own steam with whatever you or...

Some good advice so far but it also illustrates what is important to some may not be for others... A sound vehicle is an absolute must if you are...

The Strava segment ‘Arncliffe Killer’, which just does the hard bit of that climb, is the business. 13.3% full bollocks over half a mile :)

Whatever you do, don't get distracted by the superficial bits, like beds, fridges, sinks, inner decor, lighting systems and all the 'living space'...

As a full on camper vanner for the last few years I’d say crucial components are: A good leisure battery set up In van heating utilising the...

Camper van choice is something of a minefield, an expensive minefield if you get it wrong. Time spent hiring or borrowing one, looking at vans,...

Thanks for the input. Lots to think about. Having looked around ML seems pretty common. I’ll keep pondering and playing with the idea.

Hire or borrow a van for a week and see how you get on. You'll get an idea of what you do and don't need and what is important to make it work for...
