Gift idea for VW fan | VWcamperfun

https://vwcamperfun.wordpress.com/2014/09/28/gift-idea-for-vw-fan

Gift idea for VW fan. As we’re approaching that Christmas time of year, here’s a gift idea for VW fans – this ceramic Herbert planter can use to grow herbs as it has drainage holes underneath and the lid slides under to catch any drips. Or you could use it as a biscuit jar instead. The ceramic planter measures 30cm x 13cm x 13.5cm and costs around 19.99. Click to email (Opens in new window). Click to print (Opens in new window).

What price a summer of VW campervan fun? | VWcamperfun

https://vwcamperfun.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/what-price-a-summer-of-vw-campervan-fun

What price a summer of VW campervan fun? Is the cost of VW shows too high? Our to-do list of 2011 VW campervan. Trips, shows and camping dates is shaping up nicely, but there have already been comments on Twitter about the high cost of some VW shows. The ones we’ve got our eye on appear quite reasonably priced, so we thought we’d share. First up is Bus-Types. Over Easter the Chester Food, Drink and Lifestyle Festival (23-25 April) is incorporating VW CamperFest. In May is Bus-Types’ sister show, All Types.

Counting down to Bus Types show in Oswestry, Shropshire. All Types 2009 show at Bodelwyddan Castle, N Wales. Very excited to have just got our wristband passes for the Bus Types Show.

Smokin’ hot VW campervans and the Oswestry Bus-Types show | VWcamperfun

https://vwcamperfun.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/smokin’-hot-vw-campervans-and-the-oswestry-bus-types-show

Smokin’ hot VW campervans and the Oswestry Bus-Types show. What a glorious weekend the Bus-Types show turned out to be. The sun shone almost continuously on Oswestry Showground only slightly dimmed by the smoke of a million barbecues. And there was a fantastic array of VW campervans to admire and inspire. Our 100-mile journey to the show was, erm,. The Chief Engineer had rebuilt Seymour’s engine (see our Flickr. Let’s just say there was a fuel spill. Thank heavens for gaffer tape! And I love the fringe.

Who drives your camper van? | VWcamperfun

https://vwcamperfun.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/who-drives-your-camper-van

Who drives your camper van? Vroom with a view but who gets to drive? A new survey claims that men prefer to do the driving, with 89% saying they plan to be at the wheel during day trips but only 32% of women are content to let them do so, resulting in blazing rows. I have to confess I’m perfectly happy to let Mr VWCamperfun do all the driving, whether we’re in the car or the camper van. The answer is usually a bemused shrug before he turns back to fiddle with the radio. Again. So I wondered when you’re o...

Pull on your boots for walking festival. Getting close to Llanthony, Monmouthshire. Photograph by B Iles. You’ve still time to join in the Crickhowell Walking Festival. In the Brecon Beacons National Park. In Wales, which ends on Sunday (10 March). The festival features guided walks that are graded, so you should have no problem finding something to suit your ability from gentle strolls through fields and along the River Usk. Or the Brecon canal to all-day demanding treks across mountain and moorland.

Meal stops with good views | VWcamperfun

https://vwcamperfun.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/meal-stops-with-good-views

Meal stops with good views. Vroom with a view. While taking Seymour out for a wander around Lancashire and over the border in to Yorkshire yesterday, we stopped to have lunch at Jeffrey Hill near Longridge. It’s a popular viewpoint over the Trough of Bowland with Parlick, Fairsnape and Beacon Fell in the distance. So have you got a favourite spot to eat while out in your campervan? Or do you know of a similar list that’s already compiled? We’d love to hear from you. Click to email (Opens in new window).
