Steep climb up Porlock Hill, 1:4, but yeah you`d have had no problem. Mind you we did have to push several vehicles out of the car park as forgot to take tow rope! We think people got a false sense of security seeing a camper parked up 8)

We were at Lynmouth today, and very surprised by the amount of snow on the Moor, unfortunately we were in the Fox, so no playing.

Great pictures.

I took my boys for an overnighter on Dartmoor on Thursday, we had a great time. Syncro's rock 8)

Guess we know where Bens van went then. It's a lovely van. Owned it for about 3 weeks before I swapped with Ben. Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers

Who owned that van before Terry? Its nice to see a good van stay within the 'group' and get enjoyed by all its keepers.

I brought it off a guy who worked for Coca Cola he got it off a rose grower who went to a lot of flower shows with the van and a trailer, he needed a 4x4 to get into and out of fields, He had it made by EMC in Manchester. I sold it to a lady who's daughter is a member on here [sorry darling forgot your name] and then 2 years later I bought it back again and sold it to the guy that Robbo got it off......I THINK :rofl
I wrote a long story on here once I have no idea of how to find it..It might be on the old forum
