What have you done with your California today?

That’s where I put mine.
Worth putting in plastic bags to stop the chairs getting dirty

Saw a guy on site this week, store his on his cycle rack

He made brackets for them?

Yes.
I thought that was a clever idea.

Taken to stopping at nearby sites when visiting clients up north rather than slumming it in a Premier Inn - this little site near Bedale was quick and easy - even if the nearby estate dogs started howling at 615

I unzipped the VW shaped foot part of the mattress and left upstairs.
Just need something g to cover the zip with if it rattles now. I guess some gaffer tape would suffice ?

Cleaned after new wheels!

Polished the Beach. Think I’ve spent more time cleaning it than camping so far this year!

Oh are you suppose to wash and polish it?

No, that’s a myth

 

[TheDoc]

Haha. If only - from snow foam start to polish at the end it took hours

Use to the van to transport 4 bikes to the forest for cycling. Perfect day 10 C and dry. The forest is often too sandy but enough moisture to make it easy today. When we got back to the car park there were 3 other VW campers there.

Quick jaunt to Cheddar. Short pic from the dash cam of the amazing drive out. We stayed at the brilliant CMC club site right in town, perfect location if you wanted to stay a few days and walk from there. Spotless and quiet site with nay a vanlifer having a mid life crisis party in a van in sight. Walked the 2.5 hour loop around the Gorge at 9am when we were the only two up there. Saw zero gorge, misty as heck. When we came down at 1130 the place was crawling with tourists. Just in time for an escape after coffee and pasties in the van!

Nice Deer walk in the New Forest. Van as a lunch base.

Cracking picture Andy.

Cycled round langstone harbour, southsea to hayling Island then over on the ferry back to the van. Stopped at the ferry inn for refreshments. Lovely fairly flattish ride suitable for all ages.

What part of the new forest were you in, whenever I visit only see donkeys, ponies and cows, yet to see a herd of deer, great photos.

These were near Stoney Cross, on the edge of the old WW2 airfield.

If you stay on setthorns campsite there’s lots of deer that come right up to campervans, pretty much guaranteed to see them every day.
Only a few feet away and Zebedee (dog) was there.

They love carrots. These were "wild" in Denmark

Setthorns, looks a nice site, but lacks basic facilities, like many of the camping in the forest sites, was thinking of booking Long Meadow, their website photos show deer coming onto the campsite and I like the area around Brockenhurst.

Thanks, not an area of the new forest I’m familiar with, will possibly explore on a future visit. Tend to stick to areas south of the A31 currently.

Bolderwood wood also a good spot they feed deer in the summer. If into wildlife close by is a Reptile centre.

Managed to put the new wheels on that I purchased from a fellow forum member

A very long drive to Anglesey. Thankfully arrived just in time for a blow on Benllech beach.

Went to the York Bird of Prey centre - fabulous.
