Yes
It works well as long as you put the little arial outside the van, no data or phone signal needed. Only thing that needs thinking about is that you can't charge it and the iPad when they are connected together, but I reckon you can get about 5 hours use out of a charge.

Highly recommended by us.

Izzy, four and a half, drove us to Caernarfon today to see the weeping poppy display in the castle.

Well worth a visit if you can make it, and it's free until 20 Nov (best register online before you go, although they didn't check anyone today as it wasn't very busy).

Very nice. Hmmm... does look a tad chilly as you say. Where's next?

[Days out]

Camping at the Shady Oak with views to Beeston and Peckforton castles.



Trail markers. Only 10km left to walk!



Sunrise...



Autumn colours at Delemere forest.



Photos from a recent two day walk along the Sandstone trail in Cheshire. The Sandstone trail is a 38 mile walk from Frodsham to Whitchurch. Overnight stop at the Shady Oak pub which has a small campsite (basic facilities - £15.00 night) but perfect views over to Beeston and Peckforton castles. The campsite was half way along the trail so perfect place to park the Cali. Great weather and great views especially with the leaves turning. Grateful for the diesel heater in the morning as a light frost - but amazing sunrise. Lucky that I managed to make a nice warm mug of tea before I ran out of gas!!!

Another mini adventure in the Cali. Happy days!

Loving your posts and pictures, so good to see you making full use of your new Cali.

It was a busy week for my Cali last week! Before I did my Sandstone trail walk (posted above) the family and I did a short excursion to the Lake District. Again great weather and warm too! We had our breakfast outside every day! (In November!!!)



Found a great campsite. Low Wray (National Trust) near Ambleside. (£17.00 per night) basic facilities but there was a nice shop with basic provisions and you also could hire rowing boats for the lake near by. Parked up with three other VW campers on the first night...



Camping next to the lake was amazing and with all the oak leaves falling made for magical scenery for the children.



Low Wray castle was fun for the kids. Walk from the campsite around the lake less than a mile.



Also visited Aira Force waterfall near Ullswater. (Via Kirkstone pass) Again NT - easy walk up to the first waterfall. You can walk further up to other falls...


Aira Force waterfall.


Kirkstone pass... serene weather conditions!

Finally nice walk partly around Buttermere.
Had a look at another nice waterfall. Drove back via the Honister pass. Amazing road / view. Much easier in the Cali than the last time I went along that road on my mountain bike when doing the coast to coast.



So very enjoyable week made extra special by having our Cali Ocean. Kids enjoyed the experience being "wild" in the woods and going off looking for different mushrooms, leaves and other things around the woods. All this right on our "cali-doorstep"

Sorry, but why don't we have an emoticon thingy for "horribly jealous"?
