Our first trip away in the van was to Shell Island, Wales in the 'Summer' of 2012. Anybody that hasn't been and might be wondering where it is, it is very close to Harlech Castle and Barmouth.
Brew stop near Bala on the way over
The weather wasn't up to much, and eventually caused a leak through one of the condensation vents on the roof that have proved to be no end of mither since I got the van.....
Although to be fair, we were only about 30 miles up the road from the place that on the same day had caravans floating around the caravan park and into rivers
After seeing these shots, I went on to finish painting the insides of the cab doors when we got back!
We opted for a room with a sea-view, at no extra charge
We were 'wild-camping' as there are no electric hook-ups at Shell Island.
All our power was provided by the solar-panels (electrics) and a gas-bottle (fridge/grill/hob).
Everything worked as it should and we managed the TV on for most of the day/night (due to the weather putting us off most of the out-door activities), as well as brews/radio/CD/lights/phone-chargers etc.
The tide coming in over the causeway......
Some of the movies weren't Jimmy's cup of tea.....
