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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's ours, it's brilliant to tow as it weighs 600kg, is no wider than the car and has a pop top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

dynax Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
