Great thread - I've just finished reading all 22 pages over the last 3 days (supposed to be working lol).
Nice bus you have there Mike, you're an inspiration for me to get off my arse and do some work on my own :lol:

It’s only taken me 8 years to get it to this level! [emoji2957]
I don’t like to hurry things though [emoji23]

Little trip to Talkin Tarn near Brampton on Sunday. Was the busiest I’ve ever seen it, the cafe was sort of open but toilets closed [emoji2955]

So after a mooch around the tarn, we drove a couple of miles to a quieter lunch spot.

Absolutely ^ great photos, also jealous... although we are planning a trip up to N.Wales in a couple of weeks for our first camping trip out in the bus. Very exciting!
 
Great camera work and beautiful bus too.. Really nice to see folks getting out and about again.
We've just packed bus up,leaving for Derbyshire in the morning for a long weekend.
Thank you for sharing,
Liam
 
Post lockdown trip to the Highlands, to bag a few hills. 400 + miles bus ran really well. [emoji41][emoji1690] [emoji902] [emoji2528]

Thanks guys, weather was good last weekend. Was a great feeling to be camping in the bus again. I was so focussed on the hiking that I forget to get more pics of Monty looking good in the sunshine [emoji274][emoji51]
 
Bank holiday weekend trip to the East Riding countryside. It wasn’t the best weather but it was great to out camping with Deb again, our first trip this year!
I decided to wear my festival hoodie I bought at the end of last year even though the only festival was inside Monty!

The moon at the campsite.

The new engine was really smooth and loves cruising at low 60s which is my preferred speed on the motorway, very quiet.

Getting about 25 mpg. One issue I need to look at is an intermittent fault where the r/h/s indicator at the back doesn’t work. Bit dodgy when changing lanes. I can’t tell when I’m driving until someone doesn’t let me out into the right hand lane[emoji51] All the wiring is new so I’m not sure where to start[emoji3166]
