My 1971 Deluxe from the boys at Kieft en Klok

Great weekend, got a tad wet packing up and journey home was relentless on the M5. That's the last trip as a family of three, stayed in Lobb Fields just a mile from Braunton, great site top field on what's called the plateaux. Always good to pitch up next to some other Earlybays (thanks guys kept Finn busy) especially to pinch a hammer to whack the pegs in.... They need some hitting too, ground was full of rock but great drainage.

Finnian absolutely loved it. Anyway here's some pics, also of Big Sunday which was a superb 1 day show.

Good to speak to you and your family Matt even if you where in your t5, hope you get your bus sorted soon dude!!

Ha ha thanks Jay, yeah ditto it's great to have some welcoming neighbours and to go all the way to Devon and pitch up with fellow welsh, Newport boys was nuts. Finnian loved the company buddy. If we go next year we'll have the Great Welsh bake off!! Ben

Hopefully see it in the flesh sometime next year

Many thanks Karl, it's been a long slog but lots of help and had real great businesses working on my bus 2. It's been great to get some use out of it before the winter.

Will be at a few shows next year I hope, also planning on going to Euro buggin 2 !! Can't wait!!

If you ever see me come and say hello bud !!

First time in a while that I got some time on the bus, great help from Mr Channing! Thanks butt!!

Electrics and sounds almost finished, twin 40's fitted fuel line plumbing to do & linkage. Spring plates, shocks and heating. Also Gas system to sort, hell of a list but progress is progress.

Don't get much time with new edition another boy Elias, Finnian is chuffed as nuts to have brother.

Many thanks all, it really has been a massive journey full of highs and lows. However it's been great to get the recognition after all the work that gone into him over the years. I couldn't of done it without the help of a lot of people, friends, businesses all of which I'm very grateful. I will never do this again so glad I started it before my children come along.
Eventually all being well it'll be over to the boys to fight over, once I'm done with him. That shouldn't be anytime soon. Looking forward to the new season, including a Euro trip to EBI.....tickets all booked and the euro tunnel on the Thursday evening.
