Cooking by the campervan on Friday at the Midlands Air Festival, UK. Homemade burgers on the Cobb. Just got them on then look who popped in for dinner, “Okay lads, there’s only 1 burger going spare. No need to fight over it, but the first one here can have it.”

Spent a few days in the Strathdon area just inside the Cairngorms, beautiful weather, great rustic campsite.

Just left The Barge Inn at Honey Street this morning after 2 nights there. Fun campsite and the music in the bar last night was very good.

Yea, we were one of the last on with the coach and the lorry and had to reverse down the ramp. The vehicles facing the other way sort of do a lap of the ferry to get off, sort of like an onboard roundabout.

Bit of a cheat. Not the view from my van but 10 mins walk from my van. So lucky to stay so close.

Sunday morning up at Mam Tor in the Peak District, UK. Left the campsite at 3am to see the sun rise at 4.40. For those of you who know the area we stayed at the the C&MC site in Castleton, walked in to the village, up Millbridge and Hollowford, up the footpath to Hollins Cross and across the ridge to the Mam Tor trig point. Well worth it as the sunrise was stunning. Dodgy knees are suffering now though!

Just a quick tinkle before we leave:

C&MC site at Castleton, Peak District, UK. Cooking dinner on the Cobb in the lovely sunshine. Not a fan of club sites really, but this one is fabulous.



Now this is a view I love to see from the van anytime, anywhere (jersey royal potatoes in foil under the grill plate):

On our list of go-to folk fests, but never been able to make it.

We stewarded (for the first time) this year at Upton on Severn, great smallish festival camping at the Rugby club and festival in the very friendly, small town.

Others we’ve booked for this year are Beardy (Shropshire), Ely, Gate to Southwell, Warwick, Folk East, Shrewsbury and Bromyard. Also Timber festival in the National Forest (a celebration of the forest, with discussion, spoken word, art & creativity, music and loads more).

We also did the Midlands air festival, jubilee weekend.

Just love chilling out at a good festival. The Cali (especially now we have solar) makes it so easy.

Did you manage to wild/stealth camp on Salisbury plain? I thought it would be quite difficult to find any where, but your last picture looks like a possibility.

Wounderful pic Grumpy. Just need to return with some daisy seeds, and stealthily introduce some yellow for next year. I don't know if environmentalists would consider that" not on " though!
I love going to the woods near you in Wendover when the blue bells are in bloom, simply stunning.

Wow! That looks fantastic! We had a Cobb once but never got on with it so sold it fairly quickly…….…….. but now I wonder if we really tried hard enough
