Micro van owners meet

Just through i'd test the water on a potential meet. I'm not sure if this would work as i know we are all quite spread around the country, but i quite like the idea of meeting up at a nice country pub for a pint on a warm summers evening, and chat about our vans. Can be useful in finding info and parts as well. I would propose a location just north of London as it's quote central. I was thinking Hitchin as it's only a few minuets from the A1(M) and M1. How does this fit in with some of you in the South East, (i know it will be too far for some of you).

I'm not too far from hitchin although I never seem to have much spare time at the moment!

And if yer van keeps overheating you'll be "hitchin" a lift....

Usually there is an annual (4th one this year?) camping weekend in the lake district.
Last year wasnt attended well.... So kinda two minds to organise another....

If my vans ok then I'll probably head to the bull around that time anyway, it's a nice place to camp , sod it if no one else is there, was nice and quiet last time

We've been meaning to go to the lake district for a couple of years now, the last time we tool the hi-jet it was great we stayed down in borrowdale. the only problem is it take 7 hours to get there from 'London with stops! Where about's is the Bull?

The Lake District would be great for me, it's closer to the ferry at Stranrar

Fran (pending fix) and I would be up for a Lakes meet

I could possibly do a lakes meet, depending on dates.

It sounds like a lakes meet is gathering some interest. I normally camp in Borrowdale, Stonethwaite little campsite by the river in the middle of nowhere ideally suited to the little vans as the road in is a little bit narrow as you can see in the 1st photo!!



What dates are people free? i would avoid bank holidays as the campsite is very busy, and i've been stuck on the M6 for hours in previous years. How are people fixed in June ??

That looks amazing. Probably it bit far for me, but if I'm free and I'm feeling adventurous then I may join you!
