Great British Land Rover Show 2024

The Great British Land Rover Show 2024 provided an excellent opportunity for a trip over to Cheddar to visit my uncle where I was invited to stay over for the night. Unfortunately his drive is on a bit of a slope so not the best place for sleeping

Luckily he also has a very comfortable spare room and I was able to stay there instead

The next morning Katy and I took a drive up a very quiet Cheddar Gorge which looks a lot better on a sunny day than it did for us.

Onward to the show and the sun did come out for a very pleasant weekend camping with the team. This was us setting up on the Friday

And by the Saturday the sun was fully out so it was time for a few beers and a wander around to look at everyone else's vehicles whilst our stand and vehicles basked in the sunshine

 

Mendip Mayhem

Another adventure ... this time to the Mendips where we stayed at the MNRC caving club hut and to be honest Katy was a pure camper van for the weekend

It was an opportunity for our friend Ceris who took those first pictures to take a really good look at her 

 

And for us to enjoy some of those wuiey coutnry roads even if they do lack curves.

Wedding Belles

Katy just took us to the wedding of the daughter of some close friends. Holly and Colin looked so happy which is just what you hope to see at such events. The location for the wedding was "The field behind the cotage" and camping was available at the venue so what better vehicle to go in than our own wedding coloured camper.

It was fabulous being able to camp at the venue and therefore not need to worry about drinking. Another great win was the ability to get some of the leftovers of the Hog Roast put away for us to have a fabulous dinner the next day

Holly looked fabulous in her wedding dress. Katy it has to be said, still looks a lot worse for wear with her paint peeling.

No troubles on route but she needs to go in to get those electrics sorted now, and its a bit beyond me, so it's off to the local Land Rover specialist to get me a few more steps along the way
