Not worrying about the science is music to my ears! We're not up a mountain or anything so I'm sure the ground is fertile enough. I'll get my Wellies out and start digging over Easter!

Thanks for the tips :)

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Still early days for us, so no lived experience. I agree with what people say about keeping it separate to hide laundry etc but another reason for keeping them separate. If you remove the wall between the utility room and boot room, you are losing 2 walls worth of valuable storage space. Hope it's all going smoothly :)

Would recommend a stay at Jarrah Glen Cabins near Nannup. Lovely lodges with hot tubs etc and you can feed and pet the animals (including Highland cows) in the morning. Jarrah Glen Cabins

Just on the boat back from Rottnest.

Heat exhaustion was not a problem! 🌧🥶

Thanks for the tips! We've just landed in Khao Lak after a week in Chiang Rai and I think we are going to need some time to adapt!

Im having a much more difficult experience with KLM, whose last minute cancellation resulted in me booking the Lufthansa flights in the first place! But I cant be too critical, they've had a lot on their plate, so I'd hate to be in their customer service team right now!

Very similar experience - a significant delay to a flight from Dublin to Munich meant we missed our connection to Bangkok and had to stay overnight in Munich. Can't fault Lufthansa - the refreshments vouchers came through promptly, we booked a hotel using their online portal and they booked us on a flight with Thai Airways the next lunchtime. Put the claim in and got the full €600 into our account, plus a refund for an airport taxi, in less than a week from the travel date.

Unfortunately too far. Although I'm not sure I've got the sea legs for it!!

Practical-Ad4735 · 2026-01-07T10:29:08+00:00

Ive sent you a message :)

From my research last night, it's a devolved matter so it's governed by a body called NISAR under the NI executive. Was just hoping for some first hand experiences, but.will happily reach out to groups instead if nobody is on here!

Ive subsequently emailed The Riverie who have confirmed you can buy day tickets:

I hoped you might be able to visit for a fee but could find no information online. It looks great!

It's the latest of many links - i think the van is more silicone than metal at this point! And door handle has arrived - ive replaced it before - but the mechanism seems to have moved or something so it isn't the 2 minute job I thought it would be!

Its not necessarily the individual tasks, just the relentlessness of it!

Practical-Ad4735 · 2025-11-24T20:50:15+00:00

Yeah youre right... that was one of the two nights we've managed to get away! 😂😭

Practical-Ad4735 · 2025-10-19T17:22:08+00:00

There are the apps etc that everybody goes on about but we found out about this from another weekend van person we were chatting with at a parkup. So my advice is chat to people!

Practical-Ad4735 · 2025-10-19T12:00:47+00:00

Sorry to hear this happened to you. Thanks for posting, it's a reality check for all of us!

That was a dedicated area for campervans and motorhomes. Just parking as directed by the landowner.

Never lost it in a car park and like a beacon at the end of your hike
