Workhorse day My partner is exhibiting in a ceramics show at Olympia and wanted help setting up and taking down, options were van hire £150 for 2 days, man and van £250, or could we get the sideboard, boxes of pots and other paraphernalia into the van? Careful measuring said yes and it did! And...

123, pricey but worth it

Only if you have extra long arms as you have to squeeze the handles to release the catches and to move the hullavator arms in unison. Another kayaker has attached the roof bars to his poptop with strengthening plates which transfer the weight down to the rain gutters, so he just removes the...

After several years lying in the glove box, I finally got round to sewing the leather cover onto the original steering wheel, looking ok

fitted my Customshop design demountable table today, probably only occasional use as we cook and eat outside but will be useful if it’s raining and for overnight stops

This razoredge on the turntable bagged best in show, paintwork by Spikes The razoredge by Limebug was also amazing

Also went yesterday, Sunday, and agree with Ben’s succinct summary, and apart from the split screen display outside there were very few buses, mostly beetles and (downstairs) Porsches My mate got some window winders from C&C, I wanted some new mirrors, they said top quality ones coming in a...

C&C do a 1972 rear for a price! I got one a few years back and it‘s proper heavy duty corners are called splashpans

That’s a real bargain, you won’t be disappointed

Are you sure the spindle is broken ? And it’s not just the nut that has come loose? Happened to me in torrential rain outside St Malo in summer, drivers side too. You can tell by turning on wipers and looking at spindle nuts, if it’s moving then spindle is likely ok. if nut cannot tighten...

Took the plunge, ordered the 105AH, next day delivery by courier, then a Li-ion charger, had to get the Victron 10A as the (bargain price) fog star brand were sold out Download the fogstar app, easy to navigate, connects to battery by Bluetooth, dashboard showed charge at 20%, hooked up...

Khyam motor dome quick erect tourer plus groundsheet, easy to put up and take down once you’ve got the hang of its spring loaded exoskeleton knuckle joints!

Sitting on Brittany Ferries waiting to depart St Malo, thought I’d say how accommodating they are with our lowered van. We always ask the loading marshalls if we can go on the main deck to avoid steep ramps to upper car decks and usually there’s room to squeeze us in. However on way out, ship...

Great pics Had same issue with drivers windscreen wiper coming out of St Malo in torrential rain en route to Île de Ré 2 weeks ago but luckily a quick fix as you say

There are 257 steps! We left yday, time for one last pic with the bridge in background

drove up from Île de Ré yday, rained most of way and evening, great little site, Camping de Bilouris, right by the water. The Golfe is tidal but sheltered as it’s almost surrounded by land. And if you’re into kayaking as I am there’s Kerners Kayak base next door

Been a great week here, heading northwards to Carnac for a few days now, here’s a few pics from our week Camp set up Salt pans Staircase at La Phare (lighthouse)

here for a week, been to Île d’Oleron a couple of times, so thought we’d try the upmarket one, 16 euros just to get on the island. Dedicated cycle routes everywhere and cars give way at cycle crossings…….mostly Easy to see why Parisians have holiday homes here but it takes serious money to own...

Well, as luck would have it, browsing Womad website shortly before, thought let’s look at live in ticket sales and lo and behold there was a red field ticket for sale! And daughter was able to sell her yellow ticket back to Womad Here we are with our camp, pitches were huge. Great times had by...
