12th October 2022 - Trip To Scotland 2023.
This Album, is all about the conversion, what we hope to do and we hope the end results will be.
This is not gonna be as straight forward as we hoped, due to my medical conditions!.
But Hopefully in a short time, I will be on the road, mainly wild camping and find what I need to start the recovery for my mental health issues.
I have no idea if this will work, but it will be my last time of trying as am expecting, to be forced to surrender my licence soon.
Please Leave any Comments at the foot of this page.
They are always welcome, and often when I am down or stuck, just to read comments helps me so much!.
11th November 2022.
This evening I am sat in front of my computer and just looking at items, that I may buy for the conversion.
At this stage I am no where near ready for them, but just seeing what is available, and to research them.
I am sure some will be out of my price range, when I f I decided to buy them later on, so things I am sure will change!
This power station, May be a handy backup for my medical equipment, if my leisure batteries are running low!.

If my health and space permits, these drawer units, may not only save time, but make things quicker, as I would not have to measure and build them.
11th November 2022.
Larger and 3 drawers this time.
Again, Not ready for them yet, so we will have to wait n see!

Good Evening Folks.
Tonight Lynne n me had a good chat about the trip to Scotland.
She is coming with me :) :)
Well for school holiday's !
only time will tell if this actually happens!!
The main points covered were, that we will break the journey in two, to make it easier on me.
we will need to get a powered wheel chair or something similar, that is happy to go uphill on grass......
The final thing we covered tonight, is were we are gonna stop on the way to Scotland.
we have decided of 4 options - Purely based on mileage's.
As we do not know what I will be able to do, we have chosen 4 ways to do the journey :-
1. Scotch Corner, which is approx 148 miles from home.
2. Penrith, which is approx 197 miles from home.
3. gretna Green, Which is approx 226 miles from home.
4. Head towards one of the coasts and take the coast road to Scotland...
The plan at this stage is to stay there approx 3-4 days, so I can rest,
but with a powered chair (if Possible), I can still go out exploring :) :)
The other main topic we discussed is transport !
Altho we would love to ride CBRTIM, I am not sure that not only will I be up to the ride up there, plus using the bike as everyday transport.....
But we will still be trying our best to get it ready for sprayers by the end of this year.
So at this time the transit is the favoured mode of transport, again we have a lot of work to do to get the transit ready for such a journey, making sure that everything makes my life easy, and anything we use, quick to assemble and breakdown, compact as possible, plus as light as possible.
That's it for today's update,
we seem to be on the same page, which is great news.
The rest of the time in Scotland will be unplanned as such, we have some destinations in mind. That we knew Timothy Loved and we did when we went there in 2013 with Val & Donald.
But as the reason for the trip is to see if we can sort me out and that we become a happy couple once more.
Whether we see a marked improvement in my fight with the black dog, then we will have a huge decision to make, Do we stay or do we go back home ?
That will like many choices will be left fluid, but one we will be discussing at times.
Now I am gonna take things a bit easy ready for the test drive on Saturday and to pickup the Sink/Cooker unit.
but more about that later on - not sure it fits in this album, but we will see....

Sorry m8 I cannot remember....
Unfortuently things have slowed right down again, as my body is not strong enough to move things about and no-one to help even family don't care to help anymore
Whos that standing down the road behind your transit with their arms crossed looking all official???
It appears you're moving all in this project. I am thankful you are home for the Christmas holidays M8.
