She lives in the Alps in the summer working as a shepherd then moves to the north of France for the winter because she doesn’t like skiing! A month in Scotland learning how to make the wool harvested from a sheep into a jumper.

I like ours, loads of space, very comfy and a good view.
I did think of putting our fridge up on top of the drawers like that but then Jennifer wouldn’t be able to see inside it.
Fabulous to see the commitment of all those who make the Strontian trip. Esp those who bike it - big respect Mart.
Ps that chilli looked good!

You can park up on ground you wouldn’t like to put a tent up on and be comfy - tarmac, mud, rocky, wet, car park, whateverBrilliant in the warm African bush.

Very quick and easy to put up and down
Away from most ground crawling things
Better view
More space
Leave bedding in the tent when you fold it down
Don’t take up space in your truck and no mat or sleeping bag to store somewhere
But yes, better in warm African bush than 10 below

The quality is superb and worth every penny in my book
Set off from Moffat around 8am, cold -2 but clear
Got colder going into Yorkshire, and then warmer as I approached the midlands + temps
Then as I got to Newbury, the temperature plummeted and it turned to freezing fog , and it's been like that ever since
I had to make a detour on the way home, to see someone so arrived home at 5:30
Bike is covered in shite, unloaded, an will be cleaned tomorrow, I'm now having a chip buttie an a bottle or two or three of cider

The story so far ....
One other camper van on the site, not one of ours, lovely young couple. Taps in a hut, spends most of his time asleep, thankfully
Taps getting up to date .....
I forgot the skis
Heading down to the cafe for breakfast
Probable head across to Kirkinch tomorrow, to the Swamplands of Perth
Then south and home ....

Would have loved to see the snow, but I wouldn't have made it home lol
You going next year ? I might Wing it
Hopefully the nice lass in the cafe/pub is sorting you out
Hope the run south goes well, remember whisky doesn’t freeze
