Feeling very relaxed at Trevedra Farm with my 2 vehicle setup and our 3 grandsons and 2 kids and their partners. 9 of us.
Got lucky with 2 massive pitches right next to each other.
And even luckier to be here from 3 years ago after my HA.

Currently in Norway. We thought we had driven a long way but this van had been driven from China! And not for the first time.

Might want to add some midge proof net while you’re at it ;-)

We've not had any issues so far. Was a bit rainy in Kielder which helped. We were fully stocked with midge stuff just in case though. Now on a windy coast so no issues here

“Cool”. Ah yes, I remember cool.
Wait!
All views with a Cali are cool aren’t they?

Last night in Norway! Best view from a campsite we've had on our quick dash back. We had to curtail activities due to a family bereavement!
We will be back!

Apart from the brown bears

acer · Aug 25, 2026

Well! We weren’t 100% alone. Something did land on our solar panels and scramble about for a few minutes at 4 am this morning, before sauntering off up the path into the dark beyond. Between ChatGPT and my failing eyes we identify it as a Pine marten. I’ve read lots on here about the damage they can do, so I won’t be 100% settled until we’re on our way again. But, yes, on the bright side, it definitely wasn’t a brown bear. If one of those had been up there I’d have been more worried about the roof than the solar panels!

Haha, I'd have been even more worried about me than he solar panel !
