900 Miles later and i'm back

Post by happy camper »

Hi guys i've been for a week just outside Tenby south wales and am pleased to report that the van ran like an absolute dream all week, its 286 miles from mine to Tenby and with all the sightseeing trips we covered almost 900 miles.

On the way down we cruised at a steady 60 mph along the A14 up the M6 across the M42 and don the M5 before stopping at strensham svs where the M50 starts, stayed there for about an hour made a brew to save getting robbed in the services had a sarnie etc stretched me legs and used the ablutions before setting off on leg two of our journey this took us across the M50 along the A40 to meet up with the M4, second stop was where the M4 Meets the A48 same again brew, sarnie, and a wee before embarking on our last leg down to tenby.

Weather coulda been better as it rained most days but fortunately not all day van was watertight but i'm so glad we took a tent aswell cos 4 people in one van isn't really viable for a week away so me and one of my boys slept in the tent whilst mrs happy camper and the other lad had the luxury of the van, gonna do a long weekender in a couple of weeks weather permitting lovin it so far

:ok
I'm in my own lill world but its ok cos everyone here knows me !

Went to Tenby 2 summers ago. That summer was a wet one but we got a blistering week. Lovely coastal walks around Pembrokeshire
