Ned's Point, Donegal. Lough Swilly in the background. First time across the border in a long time!

Blast from the past. My dad was from there, literally just up the road. Many childhood memories, playing at the point and fort. Not been for years.

It's a lovely spot.

Haven’t had a chance to do first camp yet but what a lovely day to do a set-up speed run .

Our first visit to a local CMC affiliated site for a few nights, and first try out of the wind out canopy and Comfort side panels. Need tougher pegs for hardstanding ground and a large groundsheet, but other than that it was perfect.

Do you have a link to the side panel kit? Looks ace. How quick was it to erect? Are guy ropes included to secure it in stiff winds?

How is the site? @Melanie Day
We’re staying at Cheddar soon with some walking and cycling planned.

Have a great time. Our red one would look really good with your van.

Got it from Club shop.

No guy ropes included, but lots of pegs and small bungee ties. We didn't use a tie-down as it was very still where we were (we did double peg the canopy legs though), but had our own to use if needed.

Very easy to erect, end panels zip over the existing canopy roof supports, the side panel slots into the canopy guide rail. Took about 5 mins to put up, but about 20 mins to peg into hard ground !!

Love the colour. We weren't sure about going for a colour, so went for boring grey to match the pop top and our screen cover.

 

[IainB]

Anyone got any pics with the Comfort awning room infill panels and how they have been fitted. Something we didn't buy, but considering getting them to eliminate the end panel gaps..

It's lovely, easy to walk into cheddar which has lots of shops, food places, etc

Really efficient site, friendly warden, clean and tidy.

Other campers friendly, mainly caravans nice and spacious pitches.

The perfect way to meet up with the in-laws. They've had their Bilbo's T4 from new (20 years ago) and it's still immaculate.

Was in the far NW of Scotland - in Sutherland and Assynt. This was the first time I've used my van for a more extended trip - 4 nights away - 1 of which was in a campsite and it was fantastic as a base for hillwalking - everything I hoped for really.

Saw quite a few Cali's around - hope others from on here were enjoying the amazing, midge-free weather












Oh - and I worked out what the big zip-out panel in the roof is used for:

Cracking photos. Such a superb area.

Lovely morning view from the campsite at the ‘National Showcaves’ in Brecon Beacons / South Wales. Second wake-up of a 2-night stay. Lots to do within walking distance - amazing natural caves to explore with dinosaur park incorporated to hype up the kids. Plus an interactive farm and shire horse stables. Highly recommended for young families (and hill walkers)

We went for red to match our rainbow screens and the red accents we have on the van

Morvich C&MH club site at 10.30pm stays light late here! The midges are just starting to come out!

On tour of Scotland, on a real test of the new T6.1 van. Faults so far:
Sagging roof.
Burner nearest fridge won’t stay lit - suspect thermocouple not connected.
Manual mode on gearbox doesn’t work! Won’t change up a gear even at 3000rpm
Fortunately we do have sports mode and that does work.

Just had a very quiet nights sleep with this amazing view, still finding hidden gems in the Cairngorms.

We've just got back from a lovely couple of days in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire

Lovely morning at Sandbanks, Poole.
