Since I returned from America it has struck me that, having seen so many miles over there, I still had an awful lot of the UK still to see.
Instead of satisfying my Wanderlust, the trip on Amtrak has amplified my itchy feet (not a medical condition)!
So after a week of searching and viewing several 'classic' Camper Van's I have purchased a rather nice Toyota Hi-Ace.
The Camper is in lovely condition, has a Diesel engine and has only done 39000 miles. It has power steering and is an Automatic.
I was feeling apprehensive about driving a bigger vehicle - having forgotten that I have driven Automatic people movers when on holiday in Florida - Doh! Once I remembered this I was away.
Kitted out with new curtains and gas stove - she is ready for her first trip - Derbyshire this weekend.
After that, as I have never been to the Lake District, me and the girls will be heading North...........
Hope you will come along for the ride.
PS. I've not named HER yet - any suggestions (other than Mabel)?
