Anyone out in there van this easter?

Were taking Chloe upto a little campsite in the Lake District as her first outing of the year
 
Not in the camper unfortunately but we may pass you on the M6 on our way uo to Scotland :D
 
Ill be out there in my van, unfortunately it wont be leaving the driveway!!..[V]...im dying to get her out on the road though!..ill have to sit where the drivers seat sould be, shut my eyes and imagine im speeding(lol!), down the M5 to Cornwall!...[}:)]


Enjoy your trip!:D:D
 
I meant Peak District, not Lake [:0] Its only about 25 miles from me house, nice steady first trip this year

I'll take some pics so you lot can see what they look like out in the field :D:D
 
Sounds brill, did a tour around the Peak District in my first van, some challenging hills I remember but we survived and had a great time :D:D
 
Just back from camping in Dorset with friends including the one in the dub that inspired my purchase two years ago; you'll all be pleased to know I met another commer owner and passed on details of this site; I'm sure he'll pop in and introduce himself soon and wooldfy I should be on commission for this one ;) lol he was very pleased to hear that the remanufacture of the body panels had begun.

I must say though it has driven even more to get the restoration finished and get out there!
 
Well it was a great weekend, the site we went to was basic but lovely, loads of walks and such...

Here's some pics

About 5 mins :D Bought her as she is, did i mention she's never been welded [8D]
 
Great looking ride!!:D, looks like you found a nice place to stay over Easter as well!..Maybe those pics will get everybody in the mood for working more on their vans!!...;)
 
Awww, Chloé's a doll!

And talking of nice places to stay and getting in the mood, I think a 'Tripping' thread is in order; recommendations for campsites and nice flat runs for the old girls!
 
Hullo everyone, did you miss me and my inane ramblings. Well I'm back from our short trip north of the border and ready to do chat :). Chloe looks an absolute gem and great to see some 'action' shots of a camper in it's natural environment, too many of us keeping ours in enforced captivity [V], but just look at what we've got to look forward to, fantastic.
The site looks good, I never was one for the type with too many facilities you have to rough it a bit. There's no point in swapping the day to day existence of streets and housing estates for a site that crams hundreds of vans in and offers 'all the comforts of home', that 'ain't my idea of camping. Give me a chemical toilet and a septic tank to empty her by, ah I can smell it now ;)
