Some wild camping in wales last weekend (VIDEO)

[jed the spread]

Well it was a really unusual one as far as green laning goes

We headed out last weekend and after being introduced to Lava Bread that isnt the loaf I was expecting but a pan full of cow sh*t and a dish that goes by the name of faggots we tackled Strata Florida. I personally have wanted to do this lane for a few years now and when we all got our heads together we managed to get a weekend planned. It was great to be out in Wales with the Welsh and what started as a really unusual tie rod fail then a rear drive shaft fail, then driving in one wheel drive with the rear diff lock engaged and all the power from the engine on one drive shaft ended the trip but boy did we have a laugh

Just got to say a massive thanks to everyone at Freds Garage in and if your down in South Wales and need to get your van fixed quickly then I cant recommend them highly enough.

I know some of you like to follow the shananigans so here goes, http://campervanculture.com/2012/04/syn ... es-galore/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Jed, firstly a fantastic video, but could you tell me what sort of contraption your using for cooking breakfast at about 7mins 25s? Looks like a really good setup!

thanks

Great video, and its good to see, although some problems, sprits remained high, and they didn't put a downer on the trip.

@Jed, what is that rear camera and screen set up you got ?

[jed the spread]

The screen is a parking camera that I was given to try out, its OK but abit distracting at first.

The cooking set up belongs to this chap https://club8090.co.uk/forum/memberlist. ... le&u=15776" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; he might be able to point you in the right direction. It is really good especially if there are a few of you and you like to be outside rather than stinking your van out

Top video as usual Jed. Great weekend even though it took 13 hours to do Strata.

I know your on Gower next weekend so will try the Lava Bread on you again !!!

The griddle we cooked breakfast on was bought on ebay about 6 months ago. I have just done a search and this is the base, ebay item number 320876679894. Mine came with a cast iron griddle, ribbed one side and flat on the other, and as far as I remember was about £60. Works really well. Boils a kettle in no time. Hope that helps.
