So the first
weekend of the Easter hols was spent in Tango – the 1965 VW camper. Tim (the
husband) picked me up on my birthday from the pub (end of term essential
drinks) – I think I heard him before I saw him! Tango is lovely but she is loud
(mainly due to her original engine!). We drove from Marlow to a campsite in Oswestry,
this took quite a while as our max speed was 50 mph and the engine cuts out
every time you have to slow down resulting in forced coasting around
roundabouts whilst trying to restart the engine. The next day we drove on towards
Snowdon for experience number 4. Overall we had a great weekend in the van,
even if the nights were pretty darn cold. The drive home was as fun, and
challenging, as was the ride up. We continued to get flashes and beeps of
respect from other VWs, mountain bikers, Mini Coopers and even a Porsche! A fun
birthday weekend – thanks to whoever suggested it!
