This weekend - first trip of the season

Post by toyclean »

The weather looks ace so me and the family are off to the Warren near Folkestone, dash from London to the sea straight after school (daughter not me).

If anyone's down there look out for us. White Autosleeper trident, you'll recognise us from the recent work on the seams and the spoilt kids!

Anyone else getting away?

Probably will make just the one night this weekend :cry: so it'll be the New Forest - can't decide where as yet tho'. Still thats the beauty of a campervan - just head out and end up where you end up!!

I'm not yet authorised to access the link.... but it looks like my kind of camping!

I only bought my T25 2 weeks ago - Just heading off now for my first longish journey up to the Lakes. Oil checked, water level checked, wine level checked! (and road recovery bought!).

Hope everyone has a fab weekend.

It's The Duke of York Christmas do, you'll get to see it once you've become a member of the club itself NOT just the forum :wink: You HAVE filled the form in I take it ?

Wow, that's hardcore Ian. I'd give that a go, but I'd be on my own!

Had a great weekend, spoilt only by snapped handbrake cable then smoking brakes on way home. Van off to garage again I guess, only just Mot'd thought they checked brakes!
