Journeys destination It was a nice feeling to have finally arrived in the Outer Hebrides and to be back at the Small Mission Hall again. A different kind of road trip experience this time with an actual destination to go to and stay in. However, before you get carried away thinking I’ve ideas of grandeur … Read more
Bye bye Skye Having made the journey from Glencoe to Uig in good time, I had time to both get a ticket for the crossing (always useful!) as well as grab a drink. Looked like it was going to be a fairly busy crossing, but the CalMac team are excellent at working out the best … Read more
Summertime blues Who doesn’t like the idea of cruising around in the summer sun? Getting out and about, topping up your tan, making the most of your holiday camping in your classic camper. It’s always cool to catch up with friends at weekend car shows or take trips out to the beach. Yep, summers are … Read more
On a mission Hessisch 2022 was sadly drawing to a close. Still, there is plenty more to see and do, including getting decent-quality rocker gaskets for the journey home. Should be able to find some suitable gaskets in the trade/swap meet area of the show. With my friend Caroline’s expert supervision, I should be able … Read more
The big test I had been looking forward to today for five years. Now the moment was filled with trepidation. I had no idea if my repair would hold or not? There was only one way of finding out… so it was an early start from Barrage de Gileppe in Belgium, back on the road … Read more
So HO22? After the recent postponement of the air-cooled show at Ninove in Belgium, all hopes are now that Hessisch 2022 finally gets to take place this year! It seems a genuine age since I last was able to go to a decent air-cooled show (for obvious Covid-19 reasons). If there is one show you … Read more

Time for new adventures… It’s been way too long since I’ve been on a road trip. Lockdowns, Covid-19 and all that’s been going on in the world, travel hasn’t really been high up on the agenda. Fortunately, with successful vaccination rollouts in the UK, things are slowly beginning to open up once again. So if … Read more
Goodbye 2020 So, 2020 wasn’t quite the year I had hoped for. A year mostly stuck inside looking at the walls, dreaming of road trips and adventures that could have been. Travel exploring and adventure was pretty much off the to-do list because of the whole Covid-19 pandemic. It’s not been an easy time for … Read more
Let’s go road trip! Even if it’s just for a few days, a mini road trip seemed like a great idea. Weather was ideal. I’d already been to our local beach a few times for a dip. Water was a great temp for cooling off in the heat. However, no point having a camper if … Read more
Hessisch Oldendorf International VW Show There are VW shows, and then there is the Hessisch Oldendorf International VW show! I was lucky enough to go to the last show (HO17) and was completely blown away by the event. So when the tickets and dates were announced for the 8th show in 2021, I was really … Read more
Road trip back on track After a good nights sleep in the camper at Trent Lock, we thought we’d make an earlier start today. All being well we would be camping in Scotland later today! So a quick mug of tea for the road and we thought we’d head off for a cooked breakfast at … Read more
