Hello everybody,

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

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
Simon.

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.

Your lucky your van is a good one, think how big the "to do list" would be if you had bought a crappy one

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
I wrote a long story on here once I have no idea of how to find it..It might be on the old forum
