1st Trip out

[Denis]

 After replacing the rear disc brakes and pads, an engine service, fixed a couple of broken switches, I also replaced the Leisure battery (the one that powers stuff in the back) gave it a thorough clean out, one new tyre and fitted a chemical loo inside, replaced the powered coolbox, so we spent a few days in Norfolk with my newly acquired campervan.

A shakedown trip really to see if all was well, it has a dent on the rear wheel arch but that its history, I ain't going to bother fixing that yet! A pop up roof might be on the cards later.

Just a few phone pics from Wells-next-the-Sea, Morston Church, and Bacton beach where we spent the second night parked with some other much younger Van 'dudes' who gave us old un's some great tips on camping in vans

That last one's a cracker, Denis!

Love the last one. Wells next the sea is like my second home, if not there somewhere on the north Norfolk coast.

Some excellent shots Denis, glad to see you're getting out and about with your camera and campervan, the last 3 images are great, my favourite would be image 5 with that moody sky

What an interesting set Denis ... Love the fact that  you can't keep away from having a set of wheels beneath  you though ... The CAMPERVAN  looks like it will give you masses of freedom in your retirement  and your photography  looks set to take up a lot more of your time ... Love that last pic too, not least because you've managed a sunset over water ( JUST ABOUT ) on the  East side of England !  ..... No mean  feat !!

Denis..... very well done.... enjoy every moment from now on...

Other members know that.... Wells-Next-The-Sea.... has a very special place in my psyche ....I spent  my very first holidays there, cycling from Kenilworth with camping gear, twice, with pals aged 15... My wife to be and I spent blissful holidays there too.... then further visits during our active years.

Camper-vanning too was dear to our hearts, in our battered VW CAMPER.... refitted inside to suit our needs, also as my only working vehicle for over 15 years.

Also....it reminds me of this.....

FUJI

Nice set of images Denis.  Love the sunset and the rainbow is a real catch (I can see the skid marks from here  ).   Showed the van to the other half ................ wish I hadn't.

Love that clip Fuj!
