First trip out in the van after nearly a year of ownership :-)

  1. Alright.....its not camping but today was the first opportunity to take the van out and use it as a base for a picnic in the park. The trip started with us packing up the van, getting very excited, until i turned the key and there was no reaction...time for the jump leads!

    After that we met some mates in the park and found a parking spot next to the grass. Then the sliding door came off its hinges!! I managed to get it back on its runners thankfully!

    One set of friends have a tiny baby and the others have a 1 year old so the van was useful for feeding, nappy changes and naps :)

    Saw a "new" bay on the way there who flashed and also had loads of people come up to chat about the van and some were also taking pics!

    Anyway, very happy to have finally been able to use the van, just in time for winter :)

  6. No there were only 7 of us but we all brought lots to share!

    The table we got from my father in law. He swapped it for his mountain bike in the 70's when he moved to London. Its really handy! Luckily it did start after a bit of cranking on the way home :thumbsup:
