Just a quick update after the first family trip out in Dorothy last weekend. We had a fab time and being in the bay just made it so much more than camping trips have been before.
I wanted to post up a big THANK-YOU to all the bayers - Early and Late - who've offered kind words, help, parts and inspiration from their own projects!
First some emergency trimming to do!
Door cards fitted, some nice OG ones in the original dark tan...
Mrs N trimmed up the interior panels...
Whilst I ran a gas pipe (in anticipation of) the hob and a propex heater..
... and fitted the vinyl flooring - no pics - running out of time!
Off we go! First stop on the shores of Ullswater for lunch in a field. Lovely.
Note: T4 in attendance with 3 bikes, a motorbike, 2 tents, the dog and a sheet of 8' x 4' ply for my brother in the back! I also love my T4 - what a worker she's been!
We had the luxury of a VERY quiet campsite for bank Holiday weekend, luckily I'm from a family of farmers so went 'home' to the farm in the Lake District where I grew up. As she only sleeps 2 and a half people (and there's 5 of us) it was musical beds so everyone got a sleep in the bay!!
Breakfast time.
Lunch time.
Play time.
Dawn breaks..... They're all asleep in there...
Lots more good times ahead I feel!!
