Hi guys, I think I found you from another group, I can't remember now but thought I'd introduce ourselves

We've been campervanning for quite a few years now, had a VW T25 for years that we've toured all over the UK in.

It started off as a standard hi-spec petrol flat four minibus and ended up as a tdi powered, off-road spec'd adventure van, with 250watt solar system and almost everything we needed



Until mid last year we really started looking at ducato pvc's, the idea being to see what was out there now, so when I take early retirement, we knew what 3 year old van we liked, so we'd just have to find the "one"

Long story short, a 6 meter IH Tio R came up for the sale of localish to us and we both thought it was perfect for us, 2 berth rear lounge, front swivels, 160bhp 3.0L and in great condition

Having purchased that we've continued our fun in the UK, with bookings this year for Harrogate later this month, Peterborough next, hot rod beach racing at Bridlington in may, Dragstalgia at santa Pod July, great Yorkshire show the week after, to name but a few plus various trips to CMC sites thought out the year, Roundtree Park being one of our favourite's



I'm certainly enjoying the content of the posts here, rather more input on this forum than some of the others I'm on, and look forward to joining in the discussions, meeting some of you in person and generally having fun

Thank you for having such a great community here ?

Thanks

You'll be amazed how many people don't know what it is

And, just to confuse them even more we've now got a Northumbria flag!

The first time l saw that image of a flag was many years ago when Brendan Foster started a sports business and it was the logo.
