View from/of your van.

Before anyone says I can’t park!!…..Donald told me to park like this to maximise the view and limit the wind effect. It’s still too windy for the pop top though, but happy enough downstairs on my own.View attachment 103846

'Proper Cali bike too!

So then, my wife is over in Edinburgh helping with No 2 Grandson and I got a little bored so decided to take a drive out to our local beach. After a bracing (cold and windy!) walk I made a cup of tea and sat there just enjoying the view .



A brief walk out to this lighthouse on the end of the headland .....



Then looking back you can see where the van is (middle of photo)



Time for tea and a choccy biccy



I have included a photo of the car park details in case anyone touring this way fancies a stop by the beach. The Fife Coastal Path is just a few yards away and makes for a nice walk. Elie is a cute enough village but Pittenweem and Anstruther have more interesting sea fronts and fishing harbours. Just a few miles further North is another council 'Aire' at Kingsbarns which is great for quiet beach access, again only £10 to stop over night.

Forgot to mention the Ship in the background is the OS35 which they run aground after it collided on the west side

Gosh, the detectives on here don't miss anything. I looked at that pic many times but failed to notice that ... Guess my focus was on the sunk ship ...

Overnight at Lough Derg (Co Tipperary, Ireland). And yes, I did end up going for a quick swim after seeing a procession of locals going swimming from 6:30am. With the air temperature at -1°, the water didn’t actually feel all that cold.

Great few days in Norfolk staying in Brancaster Staith. Our first sub zero camping in the van, which was absolutely fine.

-4C and sleeping in the poptop… perfect!

 

[kernnowkarmann]

I'm hoping that's -4 , outside and not in the pop top! If so, what setting did you have the heater on overnight and do you get condensation?

Haha yes outside.
We didn’t use the diesel heater, just good down bedding.
