Building work well under way. Whoever did it before proper bodged it. Under the old conservatory is all old paving slabs and holes. Started taking out some horrible steps in the garden and found the outside electrics all met in a taped up jewsons bag. Quality.

At least it was a Jewsons bag and not just any old plastic bag.

That's it. Builders merchants bags are especially designed for these tasks.

Are you going to replace it or just ending having a caravan?

 

Here's ours, it's brilliant to tow as it weighs 600kg, is no wider than the car and has a pop top.

Yes similar size to ours a dream to tow. I would love to have kept it as it was like new however with my health lugging it around putting down corner steady and all that will be too much. We decided to sell it now while summers here and get a decent price. The ladies that bought it have some great holiday plans so just happy its still being used.

Motor mover with remote control and a good battery impact gun for legs would sort the heavy stuff, shame when health impacts things you like.

Went to Go Outdoors to finish getting my camping stuff, bought the Trangia spirit cookset, very impressed with it, got it for the discounted online price of £72, tried the kettle as a test and took around ten minutes to boil a mug full of water and hardly used any fuel, so that will do me very nicely, will have to give it a proper test though in actual use, but can't see any problems with it.

 

Next will be finding places to camp, there are some very basic sites around the country which is probably a close to wild camping as we can get legally, so will be looking at them near the coast somewhere

Yes I looked at the additional things to aid making it easier it's the stratching to put the awning up etc. I'm thinking B&Bs and brief camping trips etc. I feel like an old man now every time I go to hospital to the cardiac ward they all say ur too young to be here. Hopefully in Dec my plumbing will be sorted, valve repaired triple bypass and an aortic repair all in one go. 3-6 months recovery and some form of normaiity, but one man's normal isn't a others I guess

So far not working this weekend, so maybe a 1 night camping trip is in order and give my gear a test

Good morning troops.

 

For those in her majesty Sturgeon kingdom and are working in construction.

The company I work now is looking for 3 civil estimators.

 

If of interest please PM (not Boris...)

[billy sugger]

I can be quite civil, and take a good guess about some stuff, so would that do?
