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
Brilliant Barra Woke up to the promise of what should be beautiful sunny morning on Barra. Always a nice way to start the day on a road trip. Having delayed my initial ferry trip back so I could see the coolest little airport in action, I thought I would make my way back to the … Read more
Uist unplugged Having just driven over the cool causeway from Berneray to North Uist, the weather and the landscape began to change (yet) again. Now there’s a surprise! Always expect the unexpected and learn to embrace change. However, this made for a great late afternoon drive and it wasn’t too long before I found another … Read more
Natures tests Stopping by the sea at Staffin seemed like a good idea. It is a beautiful location plus it’s close to Uig ferry port for the short early morning drive (according to the map). Unfortunately, that night both the rain and wind set in. Unlike my split camper, the roof on the T4 was … Read more
Mile munching The earlier you start, the more you can get done in the day. Having set off at crazy o’clock in the morning, it gave me plenty of time to break the journey up to Scotland into smaller more manageable chunks. Food stops for breakfast and the obligatory tea breaks along the way made … Read more
Insulation in a camper is not just for winter. OK, so the sun’s not out. It’s often rainy, and not that hot. Typical (some might say) UK weather. This does not stop me enjoying driving my camper, whatever the weather! When I first got it, I made sure to add both thermal and acoustic insulation … Read more
A few little bits to sort out before we go So, time to book some time with Resto Classics to get things all sorted before we head off to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland for a road trip and a bit of a break. OK, I’m not saying it’s going to be wet and … Read more
It’s never easy being original It’s one thing loving the cool aesthetic of an original paint ‘survivor’ bus, but keeping the look, without the bus deteriorating in the English weather is a whole different ball game! If you’ve followed the earlier ongoing adventures of my bus, you’ll know by now, that I’m keen to preserve, … Read more
Luftgekühlt UK a friend told me that Luftgekühlt was coming to the UK for the very first time, and did I want to go, I wasn’t exactly sure what he was talking about! I subsequently found out that Luftgekühlt was German for ‘aircooled’ and he explained that it was a classic aircooled Porsche car show. … Read more
Variety is the spice of life So after a timely cup of tea and biscuit, time to check out some of the other vehicles that had made the journey to Brighton Breeze 2017. One of the things I liked about the show was the variety on display, plenty of mods and stockers with everything in between! Loved this … Read more
Off to Brighton I’ve been busy with a work project recently, so not had much time to get out and about in my camper. Good thing that Brighton Breeze is happening, great excuse to get out and go for a drive! The weekend forecast was ‘mixed’, but a camper is for life, not just sunny … Read more
Not lost, an adventure After spending a couple of interesting days at Nuremberg, it was time to push on to somewhere new for a change. One option was to head further south towards Stuttgart and possibly see the Porsche Museum there? That sounded like a bit of a plan, so time to hit the road again… … Read more
