Belated Wilderness Shots. Great time - got there early so a brilliant spot. Hundreds of campers as far as the eye could see. Showers were good. Toilets predictable after Saturdays rain. Sunday was a stomer with the famous cricket match, sun and much more chilled out family vibes. Excellent food from all the trucks. Lots of groups local young boys turning up later in the day, with and without tickets were a pain, but all in a great alternative to the madness that seems to be Glasto. Had a wander to see others vans, so great ones out there, from a 110 Defender with a pop top to every classic T you can imagine.

We were there too in the Blue section. Trying to squeeze my Cinch tent into the small spaces provided.

Made it to Slovakia today in our road trip

Definitely a weekend of 2 halves - cold, wet and windy at Dubs In The South, followed by a beautiful day on Sunday at Beach Dubbin in Southsea

Same section. As there were two of us we were able to "maximise" the 6x6 vague square given as best as possible with a single 12x6. Given some seemed to have managed to park across two spaces the allocation was a little haphazard!

Six bikes
Nine saddles
14 water bottle cages
18 pedals

Very close to our setup, but tour’s better.

We all have our trips and travels, so why not have some pics of views from (or of) your Cali?


Here is my spot today

 

[flymartin]

On the ferry to Lido di Venezia earlier today. Pretty awesome to see this view of Venice from the van window as we passed

Torridon at the weekend for some Corbett bashing, 1/2 way now but rock climbing scrapped as the midge were bad (5/5 smidge forecast ) and wind light, arrgh

Our van is the one on the far right. The isle of Mull was one of our favourite spots this trip.View attachment 112534

I’ve been to Torridon a couple of times this year. It is a fabulous part of Scotland.

Another lunchtime spent enjoying the new van. I’m getting a lot of water ingress through the front. Not sure what I’m doing wrong!!

2023 Ocean leaking roof fabric

So the issues with our brand new Cali continue. After having to have a brand fridge fitted as the original never worked, we have now discovered that a seam in the roof fabric leaks water when it is raining. Yesterday was the first day away in the van, when we have encountered rain. Whilst sat...

I’m all over that thread. I thought I’d try a bit of whimsy being as this is the first time I’ve had the panoramic window open! It wouldn’t let me attach the relevant emoji to support the joke though!

Good jape.

I can see why those with the new bellows like them - apart from the leaks - you get more of a feel of one space with the light internal finish.

Hopefully VW will get onto the leaks, it must be just the stitiching which is incompatible with the material.

Mull harbour.

The bikes might be worth more than the van!

Love Bunree

Oh that looks beautiful which campsite is that please?

It's Fidden Farm campsite. If you decide to go: There's two parts of the site where you can find a pitch. The main part (straight on after arriving on their property) and a few pitches more off to the side (turn right directly after arriving on their property). If you do the latter you'll be where we were in that photograph.

A nice camp site. Sheep surrounding the Cali when you wake up. Lovely oppertunities for walking. A short ferry trip to the surrounding little islands, etc. Facilities were just fine. We'll surely go there again next time we're on your side of the channel.

After a very wet and windy weekend last week, this is a bit more like it.

Love the front end treatment of your van. Where did you get it done?
