A view from, with a happy ending.

Circled in this dashcam shot it a wallet as it came out of the dirver's window as he exited the roundabout. He didn't see it and kept on driving.
I spotted it as I approached the roundabout , so went bach around and pulled over and collected it all up, there was some cash blowing away, 2 building society books, a checkbook, 2 bank cards a driving licence and various other identification.

I was just going to drop it at the police station in Stroud, but they will just log it in and hope someone calls to claim it, but as it contained all this persons stuff, they may end up cancelling it at with all the hastle that goes along with it.

We noticed it had a driving licence in the wallet so checked the address and it was local, so put it in the sat nav and off we went.
We arived at the address only to be told by the occupier that he doesn't live any longer but did have his mobile number so we rang him to find out where he was.
It turned out he lives on a narrow boat in Saul marina, where Loz Jr goes paddling, so we took a drive over there to return it.
He was a bit surpried, to say the least, he had no idea it was missing.

The bank of Karma has been topped up for this year

What a lovely story and what a lovely thing to do

Will be doing that next weekend. Where did you go? We'll probably go direction of Bouillion...

Oops, didn't see your message there. Was a Park4night spot near nisramont lake, close to the sports centre.

Making the most of being stuck on a driveway. Hoping to add carrier for 1 or 2 bikes too.

Why is it fixed the way it is, i.e. vertically hinged door? Can it also be mounted horizontally? What are you using it for? Or is it just temporarily fixed?

Fitted that way for few reasons, other space is for possible spare wheel or one/two bikes. Plus the joker has a gap that side so you can see out the rear view mirror (not that I use it).
I want to carry an extra 907 and don’t want it in van, maybe hiking gear etc. Summer may carry SUP inflatable. Extra space without having to much over hang, have never carried 4 bikes. Seen a few do similar as jokers don’t have much of a boot like cali(main storage is under rear seats).

First planned cook and drink in the van. Close to home at Amport. Timed to see the sun and miss the rain later in the afternoon. Tested the auxiliary heater, worked lovely. Chili and rice via the pair of ridge monkeys. Awning put up and checked. The fastenings on the legs felt very stiff on first use thought they would snap off !. One thing to note is I had the driver’s door open when I put the awning out , noticed how bad an idea it would be to slam the door closed it would catch the awning.

Excellent colour choice Mine stayed on the drive again today but did get a thorough clean.
Yes, I think it’s best to have drivers door and sliding door closed when winding out the awning.

Really like that look is that a special rack or a vw stripped back with modified mount?

 

[The Merle]

It’s just a stripped back vw one, and been powder coated.
I used two of the bike arm fixings stripped back to bolt the top of my box to rack.
Would like to try and source them vertical bars they used.

I think it’s just airline alloy tie down rails but not sure how they attach to the rack

Hatchet Pond today... before the National Park removes the parking. Real shame as many people have enjoyed this spot for many years

“East Boldre Parish Council chair Cllr Kevin Holmes said: “During the summer the pond was being used as an activity area with kayaking, swimming and paddleboarding.

“There are signs up asking people not to swim but these were ignored. Because it is a large body of water, people seemed to forget it is a wildlife conservation area.

“We also had problems with wild camping. It is a very fragile area and was being completely spoilt.”

Looks lovely (the pond and the van).
