I need to make a plan!! Thank you.:thumb:

Thanks for that, Chris. Somehow that one had passed me by. I'll blame Brexit and Covid. I'm still a bit puzzled by how you managed 10 months on a 6 month visa. Were you actually able to add your 90 day Schengen allowance onto the French VLS-T - in other words, have the VLS-T treated as a...

Yes please, Chris. Anything you've got will be much appreciated as a means of escaping the 90 day rule. :thumb: Will

Whereabouts in Lincs? If it's been as cold as the bit I'm in, hope you got yer thermals. (For some reason this thread isn't notifying me, so missed all the chatter.)

Hmmm! Don't no quite what happened there but a notification popped up in my email saying 'Jim has replied to a thread ......' - bit there's nothing there. Anyway, how's everyone doing on the 90 day avoidance plans? I got this a few days ago...

Happy New Year everyone. Hoping everybody is fit and well. A quiet Christmas and New Year for us. Looking forward to the ferry to Santander in April and hoping that this time we don't have to drive through deep snow as we travel south. That was fun - NOT! :( The search to beat the 90-in-180...

I've been looking into that one as well. I may have not understood it correctly but so far I don't see any way round proving I have funds available to the tune of €120 per day (per person) if we are touring in the motorhome - that's quite a lot of money to have stashed away. If we did our old...

Thanks, Al, I'll try my best. Easter can take its own sweet time getting here, we want to make the most of it. ;) You go steady on that old bike, now!!

You just caught me. Alan. All jabbed up, ferry tomorrow night and all points south for a while. Hopefully, by the time we get back, it might have warmed up a bit. The weather hasn't been particularly cold, just a couple of frosts but it's damp and dull up this end of the country. A bit fed up...

We haven't got the GHICs yet, the EHICs are still valid and from my understanding will give the same cover as a GHIC until they expire - a lot less than previously. Insurance is the only way around it. It's not a cheap exercise and yet another Brexit-induced nonsense. Couldn't agree more about...

Not exactly 'having fun', Al, it's peeing down and windy and cold here.:( In the wilds of Naarfok and Suffolk for a week or two, then back up north towards Thirsk for a while. The only dodgy bit is the idiot fuel panic buyers. Most of the local fuel stations are BP and only 1 in 4 seem to have...

No wonder it's quiet, Alan. The BBC headline the other morning had Cornwall saying 'don't come here, we've got too many people and too much Covid' ('cos of the Boardmasters?) My little outing on the bike took me and my two brothers off to The Duxford Museum and a night in Cambridge. Only pe'ed...

I remember when you first embarked on the plan, Eric, about the same time I took to full timing. I (now we) have followed a different route and will probably end up in the same place, though I have to say you did better than us reference the Brexit side of things. Circumstances left us much...

Not envious............... much! :(

Happily it looks as if summer has made a reappearance, even if only briefly. Watching what the jetstream is forecast to do, it may not last beyond the end of the month. Better make the most of it for now.

We had summer early last week, Alan. On Friday it threw it down (39.6mm of rain), then cold and damp over the weekend, cool yesterday and Baltic today with a biting north wind. That's summer sorted out, autumn soon, then back to winter............................. :thumb:

It appears mine had probably developed an internal short. I've no real idea how old the battery was (a Varta LFD140) before it blew. It was properly vented to the outside (thank heaven, or who knows how much more damage might have happened) it only had a rarely used 400 watt inverter, no big...

It was a very rude awakening from sitting, watching the F1GP rerun. We had turned the front seats and Pat was about to put her feet up on the bench seat where the battery is housed. The bang was like a shotgun being let off in the motorhome and there was a cloud of acrid smoke. I grabbed the...

Good to see. Ta. Roll on the time when we can actually make use of it again.

Well that was an experience! Three weeks touring Scotland, catching up with family and friends, average of one day's sunshine per week, a few Covidiots - and a big, 140aH habitation battery that exploded. Acid and crap to clean up and a new battery to fit. Then the turbo decided to have a few...
