Ready To Go…

So, we’ve spent the last couple of days installing a few upgrades and getting prepared for a week in the Lake District.

I forgot to take photos, but we’ve installed three USB sockets, fitted all LED lights including replacing two fluorescent tubes with LED strip lights. We’ve replaced the four wheel trims and replaced the circular vent in the wing as it was discoloured.

It sounds silly, but we’ve also covered the steps in astro turf as our Labrador doesn’t like standing on the metal steps.

We’ve washed Hylda and packed everything in so we are ready to go in the morning.

Getting ready for the Lake District

So we are getting ready for a trip to the Lake District.

Our Labrador doesn’t like the vinyl flooring so Wendy has made carpets and we’ve fitted studs to secure these to the floor, and allow them to be removed.

This is the first of several jobs. We’ve fitted some LED lights and ordered some more from Aten Lighting.

We’ll be fitting some USB sockets and replacing broken and missing wheel trims.

Back from Hymerchill

So, we are just back from our first Hymerchill. After arriving late I realised I couldn’t fill Hylda with water as I had forgotten the tap adapter. We soon experienced the friendliness everyone talks about once a fellow late arrival lent me the tap adapter, and then when I returned it I was given a spare! Thank you to “Ian from Liverpool”. A frustrating start ended very well – and I paid back the kind favour with a beer at the bar, in between the entertaining raffle and house band.

It was interesting to see others’ vans so I’ve included a photo of the lower field we were in…

We enjoyed this well organised and well run event. Well done to the organising team.

And I now have a classic hymers group sticker for Hylda.
