Out and About

Lovely - so looking forward to getting out this summer.
Bit of a mare with the ewp conversion in that now I’ve deleted the top pulley (from the mechanical water pump) the alternator adjustment doesn’t take any slack out of the fan belt cause of the pivot angle. Something I need to work out when I’ve got some motivation back
 
Yer I’ve got one that just goes on but won’t tighten even when the alternator is fully moved out. It pivots away from where the water pump pulley was - if I’d known id have left the pulley on but I’ll come up with something :)
 
Just been to get the van out to attend the local cruise. Turns out that the local stray cat has got in the garage and used the van as a litter tray. Absolutely stinks. 3 tubs of baking powder are now sprinkled everywhere, hopefully soaking up the odours
 
Nice trip to Wales over Easter week.

Two nights at Newgale beach, up the coast to Aberystwyth Rugby club. A trip on the Vale of Rheidol railway.

Here we are at a new eco campsite near Borth. Getting there was an adventure in itself......

And this is at the nature reserve on the Dovey estuary, with Aberdovey across the water.

On to Machynlleth, still quite alternative, then back South again via a bit of Offas Dyke. Now if you thought the Pyramids were a big undertaking, just think of the logistics of building a 130 mile defensive ditch topped with a palisade using just hand tools. Mind boggling.

Weather was better than expected, and we had a good week.

And as you may have seen elsewhere, head gasket blew when we got home.:(
