Does anyone know if there are any basic maintenance weekends planned this year for the early bays? I've seen the Cambridge course for £190, but there used to be a more relaxed weekend camp mentioned in this forum before? Thanks

So these will fit a 69 bay? Say yes, been after some for 3 years!

The elderado will take longer than a bell to pitch, more guys . Lot less usable space as well Nice tents from obelink tho

Canvascamp are fine - Sibley 4m is a decent tent Safe with soulpad, karma, belltentuk Avoid boutique camping and glam camping I would say if in doubt go for a 5m - pack size and pitching negligible compared to the 4m, but a lot more room Also pay the extra for a sig or zig..!!! My blog...

I need some rear drum brake backplates, anyone know of anywhere I can get these from? I know there are no new ones out there :( Thanks

Struggled to get mine a few years ago -they were ordered from France in the end

Thanks all, went with Burton Dassett 50 mile round trip, perfect for a little run to keep her going :) No water but they were happy enough Haven't been to sutton park for years but might give it a go in the summer - you used to be able to park anywhere there I think Kingsbury parking is...

I fancy giving Tillie a small run tomorrow Anyone have any suggestions of somewhere scenic, that I can have a picnic, preferably some sort of water (have 2 labradors, they dont consider it a walk unless they are wet) within 20-30 mile of Coventry? Would like to park the van up and have a view...

deflating is instant - it has a larger valve you unscrew, then it just blasts the air out in seconds

Went camping to celebrate my birthday with a group of friends, and one made me this awesome cake!!!!
