We're in the rain also in Norway but going out today come what may!

I bought a very expensive, well known branded, guaranteed waterproof, rain jacket last year for our trips away. Didn't get much chance to use it in Spain but after three hours of rain in Poland I was soaked :mad:

We've spent about £25 on some waterproofing liquid (Swedish prices) and have used it. Today will tell whether it's worked or not. If not a complaint will be winging it's way to the company when we're back home!

Whatever happened to "travelling light" ???

I`ve been for the dreaded MOT today and got an advisory on a rumbly front offside wheel bearing :mad:
Never mind, I know how much Dave Newall loves doing them so I`ve dropped him an email and await his reply as to when he`d like to do it :D
On the up side, the tester said it`s a belting van in great condition with no rust underneath !
After that I removed my defunked Dometic air con from the roof and ordered a new skylight to replace it. I`ve got the hole sheeted over and gaffer taped up so I hope that keeps the rain out until the skylight arrives.

Congratulations on your MOT, it's a nice feeling knowing it's sound underneath. Just fitted a new skylight in mine, the worse part was getting the old one unstuck o_O

Having lunch on a aire on the way to the south of France next to a Spanish lorry which is parked in the area reserved for caravans and MH. And of course he has his refrigeration unit blasting away and spoiling the piece and tranquility of the area.

It was brilliant - saw some inflatables :D2.
Think overnight in campsite is best... car carnage with people trying to get out... Some were leaving even before 4th display, where's the sense in that? Come to a fireworks show & leave before the biggest display :doh:.

Sitting on our (first) campsite in Norway enjoying the sound of rain on the roof and the heater behind me in the shower drying our (first) washing for a while.

Last night we were wilding on a fjord in beautiful weather.

Stripped all the beds and turned the mattresses over , took down all the curtains to be washed, Gave the fridge a thorough cleaning. Poured 10 liters of Cola into the grey tank. Hoovered it out including all the storage areas, Cleaned out the water pump filter and resisted the pump to stop it making a racket when in operation. It was vibrating against the wooden surround which was acting like a drum. Today I will concentrate on the outside. All in all the weekend is totally ruined. Plus I need to sort out the trafficators on my Land Rover which decided to stop working.

On a Municipal Site in La Clayette, South Burgundy. We travelled down yesterday, (only 90 minutes or so), to visit a large Brocante, (upmarket car boot sale, with professional traders).

View from the site along the lake to the Chateau is lovely although the iPad photo doesn't do it justice.

Tonight we will stop off at one of our favourite wild camp areas. A picnic area by a canal lock, "somewhere in France".
