They look like Ikea solar lights. Aren’t they fantastic! Pack virtually flat, last for ages on a charge, even a part charge. Very light in weight and can be used inside the van too or as a “lantern” if you can’t find your torch.

We love them. Also hanging in the trees around …

Nice idea. They look lovely in the trees. They give off a lovely relaxing light.

Great to see Rostrevor, having grown up in County Down and having spent many a childhood summer at Kilbroney caravan park. Now based in Scotland and haven’t been to Rostrevor for a few years - last time I rode the MTB trails there - both official and ‘off piste’ ones. Did you ride the trails?

Not on this occasion but have done a few times in the past. It's a brilliant track. I stick to the cross country trails though, I'll leave the downhills to the madmen/women!

Looks like you have all the essential equipment on board! Getting any waves? A bit of swell arriving later in the week should be fun if you are still around.

Yes, seem to have spent a large part of my life tying things onto the roof / back of cars + vans! but progressed a bit from 5 blokes in a rear engine beetle (boards on roof, bags, tents etc on laps!).

Arrived back in the UK Sunday pm and now locked-down until our 14day Q period ends (After spending months training our dog to not poop in the garden...he now looks at me like i'm stupid!); In France surf was shoulder high & clean most days early am / evening and some nice sandbars. We came back 2 weeks early so as not to disrupt Son starting secondary school.....

I see that you are based in Ireland. Many years ago (1993ish) we camped by Easkey Castle in my old Astra van, and besides surfing some great reef breaks remember having a fun night out in Limerick.

Sounds like you had a great time.
Yes, I have spent a few nights parked beside Easkey Castle myself, great spot!

Little trip to Linton and Lynmouth - found the perfect stop!!

Skrinkle Haven, Wales, taken a couple of weeks ago.
Stunning.

I assumed the shadow In the water just above the kayakers was weed but as the kayakers moved towards it the shape completely changed and split into two. It was then I realised it was a school of baitfish. An amazing spectacle similar to watching a flock or as it’s known a murmuration of starlings.

Marine Drive parking overlooking Woolacombe bay. Busy on a sunny day and no overnight camping but quiet for breakfast and an evening BBQ.

Need to see pics or it didn’t happen, plus I like seeing the grand in action.

Sunset in France on our recent trip. Little gem of a site near Mont Saint-Michel. Nice 10k ish bike ride over country lanes to visit MSM. Excellent restaurant on site https://lescouesnons.com/

Loch Seaforth, Isle of Lewis / Harris. Lobster and haddock goujons from Sea Food Shack - nice!

Photo from a similar position but daytime.

The campsite is basic, two composting toilets and the cold showers are shut. But we are the only ones brave enough to socially distance here.

It has the most enormous fire pit I’ve ever seen.

It must be 30 metres from rim to rim.

Now that is a view! The scenery outside isn't bad either
