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 
Gutter!
Our two cats have found a way into ours through the engine (lid is off atm). I find them in there all the time asleep. Luckily it’s not a toilet for them yet!

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.

Our annual family trip to Shays Farm on the hottest few days of the year. Plenty of cold beers, BBQ's and pizzas luckily ( my daughter's partner brought a pizza oven)
My daughter spotted this on the way there.
First time using the side sun canopy usually fitted to Bonnie. The mega thunderstorm on the first night caused it to collapse, three hours of thunder, huge lightening flashes and monsoon like deluges
Tranquility by the lake - apart from the screaming sprogs
A great time was had by all

A double coachbuilt weekend at the Croyde Ocean Triathlon this last weekend. Thanks to @colinthefox for the support especially with poor running carburettors, failed starter solenoids and fuel starvation in Mousey while driving it to North Devon from Sheffield in 34 degrees . Not many people more useful to have as a neighbour on a weekend with a commer….
This was Mousey’s first overnight trip out after a refit (will update when i get time). I thought she looked OK, until we parked next to Beryl!! Was nice to travel in convoy from Somerset to Croyde though, lots of finger pointing and happy stares.
You may notice multiple pitches on the same site. This would be due to a group of local ‘yunguns’ having an England football party, which we decided to dodge as I had asked for a 5.45am roll out to the race
Back up north now with a list of snags to fix. First thing - carburettor.

Just to clarify, in case anyone has any doubt here, it was Henry doing the triathlon, not his aged pa!
