Joined yesterday and look forward to meeting some of you folks.
I am a newbie to all this. My Dad had a camper van ( if I remember rightly it was a Ford Landliner) in the 70s which we used to use, I remember when I was a mere 20 yr old driving it to the south of France with 3 of my friends ..all the same age.... on reflection why they let us go I really don't know!!! We used it quite a lot over a 6 or 7 yr period. Happy days, but then of course life got in the way, work marriage etc so it all finished, although I always thought I
would eventually have another one....well, it took a long time but now I have!
Metal detecting is my main hobby and last August Bank holiday I was asked
to a dig in Scotland which I couldn't attend as I had an old border collie, but I lost him just before , so on a whim I went and slept in the car and that is when I decided that I must get a camper van. I bought a van, had it converted and
here I am.
So far I have spent a week in Cornwall...where I met storm Doris...followed by a wet week ln Norfolk and another wet week in Norfolk/Suffolk.
I have plans for August/September but not much between now and then but I guess something will turn up.
