With all the madness of Christmas is anyone doing anything with their van on Christmas Day?

I'll be travelling to Tallacre beach, North Wales for brunch on Christmas day all welcome for a coffee . . .

we live not to far from talacre but will be over in Yorkshire then otherwise we would have come and said hello..

Hope you have a great day and a happy Christmas and New Year.

We are making our regular (last six years) Christmas morning trip to the coast for breakfast in the Syncro followed by a coast path walk. We've previously been to Lamorna but the parking restrictions there even on Xmas day are now ludicrous* so we will probably go to Sennen.

*e.g. you can't sleep even during the day and you can't cook in the car park. Its like Lamorna has become a mini fascist state.

I'm guessing that wealthy incomers with second homes have taken control of local politics. They then set the rules to try and dissuade us proles from enjoying 'their' amenities and countryside. Just guessing as I've come across this elsewhere in England's green and pleasant land. Carry on and enjoy what's left of your local area before that too becomes 'privatised'.

Have a jolly day out despite them.

Thank you, hope you both have a Happy Christmas and Great VW motoring for 2014

It's nice to see that others gravitate to the beach also on Christmas day but I'm holding on to the idea that my syncro takes me to places that others can't get to and so restricts them from the wild and woolly side of life that I love

Hope you all have great Christmas trips

Spending the day witb the kids..
Have a great drive and day out..
Merry Xmas..

Next time your over this way max give us a shout we can maybe sort out to meet up for a coffee/tea if were at home.

All the best
Chris and Ken

ps. same goes for anyone else

Not Christmas day but Boxing Day, we are taking the Syncro to Glen Coe for a week in the snow!

We will be heading out to my sisters and opening presents there.

I'm hoping for some repair panels. Would it be unfestive to break out the grinder on Christmas Day?

Sounds ok to me...

Well what ever you do with your van over Christmas be it travelling to family, beach walking, grinding metal or snow searching I hope you all have a great time

I am hoping that santa brings me some snow enjoy!

Hi Max and a Very Merry Christmas to you

Hope you have a great day on the beach, just wondering if your going to roast a turkey there?

Merry to Christmas to all fellow forum friends,

Cheers Rich

Hi Pete,
if you do make it to Sennen Beach tomorrow morning, you will probably find us there with a few more mad people running into the sea for a refreshing start to the day!
Its a popular thing to do it seems, so if you want to get a spot in the car park, get there early!
Call us if you like, we will aim for about 9am, if you arrive later and are up the hill from the beach, text us as there is little to no reception down at sea level.
Could be a bit rough in the water..

Thanks Rich, hope you are having a good day too!
Talacre Beach Car Park was shut cos of high tides so spent the day on Barkby Beach . . . no turkey just scrambled eggs and smoked salmon with a sea view, very enjoyable with a little rock pooling thrown in with winter sun

Merry Christmas to all my mud loving mates and vw rovers, enjoy

I went to Wembury to catch a few waves and then had soup for Christmas Dinner.
