Hi, I generally listen to the radio in the van on my travels; SW Scotland, West Coast, N.Wales etc
I lose the signal for R4 quite a lot and seem to be constantly having to fiddle with tuning all the time.
Does this happen to anyone else??

Hi, is there anyone in the Greater Manchester area that understands the proposed charges for diesel vehicles in the future?
I cut through on my way to work and dont fancy a daily charge!
Cheers

The need for a change of scenery was overwhelming the other day, so I headed to the border on my usual sort of route.
Crossed thr border and followed the Burns Heritage Trail around the coast line picking up the GTR. I stopped in a pull in near Creetown, a short road to a pumping station. 11.5 hrs sleep due to an extra mattress, bit like the Princess and the Pea.
Headed off for Newton Stewart, Wigtown ending up in the Isle of Whithorn. Followed the coast round to Stranraer stopping off at a few places. Headed up the coast through Ballantrae and across towards S.Lanarkshire though got diverted. Dropped down and picked up a takeaway in Sanqhar before parking up on the banks of the Nith south of Glencaple.
Headed back south via a friend near Carnforth.
Short trip but I'm having a funny old time and didnt want to be away for long.
Van performed faultlessly.
No real photos tbh.

PASS!!
She's passed the MOT once again, three minor advisories: corrosion, oil leak, grease on my brake pipes.
Well that's the summer holiday sorted!!

Quick report of my road trip.
Left SW Lancashire on Friday evening and drove north up to Scotland, stopped off fir a burger in Gretna and carried on coastal road through Annan, Cummertrees etc.
The free site at Caerlaverock was busy so I pulled in between there and Glencaple on some hard standing overlooking the R.Nith
Next day, in to Dumfries and picked up a few supplies, then out via New Abbey for a loo stop. Carrying on past Rockcliffe etc, stopping off in Palnackie to stretch my legs. Took a detour via the tank training grounds then I avoided Kirkcudbright because it looked busy. Took the Borgue road for a change then back on the busy road past Gatehouse, Creetown etc. Swung down towards Wigtown, pulled in at the old harbour fir a snooze and my tea. Carried on to Isle of Whithorn, busy there but parked near the car park overlooking the harbour.
Next day, round the coast Monreith, Port William etc to Glenluce. Crossed over towards Newton Stewart then through the forest on the Raiders Road. I was going to climb Cairnsmore of Fleet but declined, bit late on the day and still a bit too hot.
Carried on on the return leg, stopped at the car park in Caerlaverock to make tea then onwards to park outside Longtown for the night.
Good run home, called in to see a friend near Carnforth, avoided any serious traffic.

Loads of places to stay overnight, lots to see, ideal for a long weekend.
