In the last seven or eight weeks we’ve seen some substantial relaxing of the lockdown restrictions. Not before time either because – and I’m sure I won’t be alone here – I was starting to lose it a little. It’s meant that I’ve been able to get out and about a bit more and, as we’ve been given the green light to use the underground car park at work, I’ve been giving the bug a run into the office once a week for the last few weeks.

My punt of booking the campsites for August seems to have paid off too, as a couple of weeks later it was announced that they would be able to open from the 4th July. Fingers crossed all the Covid processes are nicely bedded in by the middle of August. And hopefully it’s stopped raining by then! Looking at the availability at Coniston Park Coppice now (or lack thereof) I think it’s likely to be busy up there!

Yeah, thanks Clarence

Less than a week after I brought Clarence back from having had his clutch cable replaced, I had decided on having a little lunchtime trundle over to Halfords in Guiseley to pick up a click and collect order. All was fine on the way over there, but on the way back the gear change got even more vague than normal. As in I couldn’t find second kind, and there’s so much travel I can’t get it into third because it’s hitting the dash kind of vague!

Fortunately I managed to nurse it home, but was worried that this might be seriously expensive to fix. After a reassuring chat with Johnnie at the Herbie Hospital, we figured it would most likely be a bushing that had gone. Whilst I was giving the coupling at the front of the bus a waggle, something fell on the floor towards the back end of the bus. It turned out that it was the rear coupling that had essentially disintegrated.

Think before ordering….

Seeing that it was the rear coupling, I just cracked on and ordered a very nicely engineered part from Limebug on their eBay store. Feeling pleased with myself I then gave Johnnie another quick call and he suggested that I could actually get away with just replacing the bushes rather than the whole coupling assembly and it should be pretty straightforward. Happy days!

Obviously it wasn’t that straightforward (but then, what job in history has been straightforward on an old VW?). When the new part arrived, it looked like a really nicely engineered piece and I couldn’t wait to get it on the bus. Bear in mind that I was going to be trying to do this job one handed (my left) whilst lying on my back, trying to squeeze under a lowered bus. Anyway, I think I probably spent about 15 minutes or so trying to get the new bushes into the old coupling.

They just didn’t fit though. Comparing them with the originals, they were quite a bit bigger and also more of a square shape. I did wonder if I could take a Stanley knife to them, or a bit of sandpaper, but figured it was probably just better to buy and original style part and use the bushes from that. So I ordered another, standard, coupling from Just Kampers and a few days later I was back under the bus completing the fix. And it actually works!!

In other Clarence news

I’ve also finally finished the polishing of the outside of the louvered windows and I’ve done most of the inside too. It did occur to me the other day when I was giving Clarence a bit of an internal clean that his curtains have seen better days. Dying them blue back in 2012 was only ever meant to be a temporary measure after my mum broke her wrist, so I recently successfully negotiated with her to make some new ones for me. There’s some reasonable looking fabric available at Ikea, and that should work out significantly cheaper than buying a ready made set. I think I can also persuade her to make on for the inside of the cab area, so can ditch the silver one I normally have on the outside of the windscreen.

In VW news, Clarence is back from having his clutch cable replaced at the Herbie Hospital. Naturally he wasn’t driveable with a buggered clutch so he had to tootle over there on the back of a recovery truck – something he’s not done for a good few years – and in a twist of irony he was collected on the same day that we had to be recovered on the A14 on the way down to Type 2 Detectives back in the mists of 2012!

It felt so good to be back behind the wheel after not having driven for a couple of months and it was great to have a bit of a catch up with Johnnie. Although I did have to laugh because firstly I had ordered the wrong clutch cable; no problem, I told him, there’s a spare under the rock n roll bed that came with the bus. Anyway, turns out that my feelings of reassurance of having that spare cable for the last 8 years were based in fiction, because that was also the wrong cable! So another order was placed with Just Kampers and the following day the correct replacement cable (J10571) landed with Johnnie (along with a suitable spare cable!).

Polishing and Procrastination

With having a bit of extra time on my hands I’ve also gotten around to painting the inside of the bug’s bumpers and giving them a real good polish. I’m very happy with how they have turned out too, in that it doesn’t look too obviously like a brushed on Hammerite job. That may have been a job I’ve been meaning to do since I bought the bug 10 years ago. Nothing like some good old fashioned procrastination!!

Talking of polishing and procrastination, I’ve made a start on polishing the jalousie windows on the bus. Super tedious job, but is getting there any they’re starting to look much better. I’ve also had the hubcaps off the bus and given them a polish. Don’t think they have had a proper buff since I bought Clarence!

The lockdown period has been something of a busy time from a brewing perspective. So far I’ve knocked out a Hereford pale ale (Lockdown HPA), a Mad Goose clone (Right in the Nutkins), a very nice golden ale(La Marmotte d’Or), some oatmeal stout (Break Stuff – ready next weekend) and I’ll be brewing the Bluebird clone (Mach 1.1) this weekend.

The post Everything’s Cancelled appeared first on 72bug.com.

As I’ve had to slightly rejig my time off to make things fit a little better with year end (and also make it easier on my mental health being stuck at home) I’m hoping I should be able to get a few little jobs sorted on both the bus and the bug. Especially seeing as the weather is apparently going to be ok.

The only really noteworthy VW news is that March is MOT time for Clarence and his first at the new home of the Herbie Hospital out towards Wetherby. It’s a great spot, but a bit of a PITA to get to. The accessibility issues (2 hours from BIW via 2 buses) are almost tempered by the fact that they have a whole load more room there so can store the bus for longer than the old premises.

Normal Service Is Resumed

Naturally he failed first time around:

• Windscreen washer not working (3.5 (a))
• Nearside Inner Drag link end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))
• Nearside Outer Drag link end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))
• Offside Inner Drag link end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))
• Nearside Front Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))
• Horn not working (7.7 (a) (ii))

Nothing too material there, but obviously a couple of hundred quid left my pocket! My joy at that was compounded 10 days letter when he developed an issue with the clutch. I’m not sure what the issue actually is, because I can’t get him to the garage thanks to this lockdown business. It could well be the cable which, speaking with Johnny should be a fairly straightforward replacement. Having got the back end up on axle stands I’m not sure I want to have a go at it – felt super vulnerable under there!

In other news, I have a new lady in my life. I can’t see her right now other than via video call, which sucks, but it’s going pretty well. The brewing is going from strength to strength and I’m making some pretty good stuff these days. Santa brought me some lovely shiny stainless steel kit at Christmas which has not only made life easier but has also increased output!

And when I say the Lakes, I really mean Coniston. The next trip up was a quick jaunt up there the week following our trip to see Metallica at Twickenham, after some plans with Ginger Mat changed at the last minute. Despite the ridiculous humidity I made it to the top of the Old Man, so naturally had to revive myself with plenty of cool refreshing beverages at the Black Bull. They’ve done quite nicely out of me this year! It’s pretty rare for me to be up there alone, so it was nice to be free of the admin of the awning and extra bits and pieces that company usually requires. Ginger Mat and I did make it up there a few weeks later, and yet again I ended up in the Black Bull having been over the top of the Old Man.

The weather on top of that hill has not been kind to me all year, and it started to rain as soon as we got to the summit. Because we’re not stupid, we were prepared for this, having checked the weather forecast and packed the appropriate clothing. Some of the people we saw on the way down, however, were clearly stupid. It’s not fair that Mountain Rescue teams should put themselves at risk for people like that – hopefully they didn’t have to that day. The weather also wasn’t hugely kind to Spicey Matt and I when we were up there in August. After a promising start – a day later than planned due to Matt’s motorbike breaking on the way up – the rain came again.

We’d decided to try somewhere new for our longer break up there after the August bank holiday so had plumped for a couple of nights at Gillside Farm before heading over to Pier Cottage at Coniston. Clarence absolutely bossed the Kirkstone Pass twice in two days, which brought back some distant memories from my D of E days. An RAF training jet flying up the valley was reminiscent of, if not as cool as, the Tornado that flew under us all those years ago. I doubt we’ll be in a massive hurry to head back that way, although if we’re going to have a crack at Helvellyn we may have to. Ullswater is beautiful, there’s no doubt about that, but I don’t think either of us were hugely impressed with the facilities at the site or the local hostelries! It was lovely to be back at Pier Cottage for a few nights, although I can’t help but think it would be much lovelier with a bit of sunshine around. I really wish they would update the shower and toilet block because that’s the one thing that rather lets the place down.

Despite the wind and the low cloud, Matt and I got to the top of the Old Man (that’s number four for me this year) and having got down out of the weather enjoyed the company of the Paynes for a couple of hours at the Black Bull. Brad finally got to find out what all the oatmeal stout related fuss was all about, but unfortunately had to leave relatively early as the kids were in tow. Naturally it hammered it down with rain for the rest of our stay! So that pretty much covers the Lakes – unless I have a run up there in the bug for the day I think that’s probably it until next spring now.

The only other camping trip I managed to squeeze in was back in September with Darryl and Jo. The Caravan Club had given them a free night, so we decided we would check out their site at Buxton. I really like the fact that it’s set in a former quarry, but it did feel as though some of the pitches were a little crammed in – especially in comparison to Park Coppice. The facilities were, as they always are at the Caravan Club sites, top notch and with a discount deal with a local pub we had a very pleasant weekend that included a walk along the Roaches and through Lud’s Church.

As far as the bug is concerned, she’s not been out of the garage as much as I’d have liked since the Stanford Hall weekend. I still haven’t managed to get her through an MOT first time, but there wasn’t too much needed. With the Herbie Hospital having moved out towards Wetherby, that will be the last time either of the dubs will be tested at Discount Dave’s, and to be honest I don’t have too many issues with that!

Interspersed throughout, I’ve been honing my brewing skills. Some brews have turned out better than others but the last couple of batches – an English bitter and an oatmeal stout – are pretty bloody excellent! The first OP style that I brewed tasted nothing like OP, but version 2 is currently fermenting away behind the sofa. Fingers crossed for a good result on that! (Update – it turned out pretty well!) Other than a trip to the Great British Beer Festival, a day at the Headingley test match against Australia, a visit to the new Spurs stadium to see the Bears against the Raiders and a double Therapy? gig, I think that’s about that for the last few months!

The post It’s Been a While appeared first on 72bug.com.

A few days prior to the last post, I’d bottled the latest batch of beer I’d made but hadn’t tasted it at the time of writing. Because it’s a wheat beer, I called it Double Digit in honour of the legendary night at the Schwarzwaldstuben in Berlin. And you know what? It was really, really good! I can’t think of too many things that I’m genuinely proud of, but producing that is definitely one of them. So much so that there’s another batch of it currently bottle conditioning behind the sofa!

Admittedly it’s not quite the standard of the beer on offer at the Black Bull in Coniston, but then the guys at the Coniston Brewing Co have been doing it for slightly longer than I have! But it was off to Coniston that Clarence and I headed the week before Easter. I’ve been chewing over the idea of buying one of those event shelters for when I’m away in the bus on my own, but figured that it would be worth seeing just how difficult it would be to put the awning up on my own before committing to another couple of hundered quid on that.

Darryl used to have the same awning and reckoned it would be a bit of a handful to put up with only one pair of hands. So I thought I would have a play with my thoroughly underused GoPro and try out a timelapse video, just to see how cross I would get with it. Remarkably, I didn’t get cross at all! I’d like to think that’s down to my excellent planning!

4th Time Lucky

Sunday saw me finally make it to the top of the Old Man of Coniston for the first time since I was a teenager, but by jingo it was windy up there! I’d originally planned to wander across the tops to Wetherlam – a hill that kicked my ass 25 years ago – but I was genuinely struggling to stay on my feet at times so beat a retreat down to the Black Bull via Levers Water, the home of the Asrai.

Whilst having a couple of restorative pints of stout and enjoying listening in on the conversation of the group at the table next to me (“Sue and I are on the verge of turning vegan….”) I was given a lovely surprise when a certain Oliver Sloman wandered into the pub 24 hours earlier than expected!

As there was more wind forecast the following day, we stayed pretty low and enjoyed a very pleasant walk to Tarn Hows and back. Whilst it was dry and the sun was out for a good portion of the day, it certainly wasn’t warm enough to barbecue so we ate at the Black Bull again. And Oli managed to knock over almost an entire pint of stout……

Tuesday saw us pootle across to Wasdale, which was certainly an interesting drive! I can see why the view down Wastwater is apparently one of the nation’s favourites because it’s stunning. The National Trust site there is in a great location and once the renovation work on the shower block is complete it will be a smashing little site. My only issue is that the campervan pitches aren’t necessarily that well suited to erecting an awning in terms of their shape (although we did manage).

The Highest Mountain in England

The walk up Scafell Pike is not fun. Not because it’s paticularly difficult, but it’s downright dull. The views are great, but there’s a mile and a half stretch that is pretty much just like climbing stairs. Anyway, we made it to the top and it was cool to look across at the summit that I’d stood on a few days previously. It was also good to see the Langdale Pikes from a different angle. If I ever go up that hill again I think it will need to be on the route across from the Langdale valley, just because I think it’s a more interesting walk.

And that pretty much takes care of the trip to the Lakes. I chilled out in the sun on the Thursday as Oli headed home (there may have been a touch of sunstroke) and then tootled home myself on Good Friday. Some of the queues coming into the Lakes as I was going in the opposite direction were mental! The rest of the Easter weekend was spent finishing up some of the paintwork I’d started to sort out on the bug’s wing a few weeks earlier. Having left that a week or so to harden, that then got a good cut and polish last weekend. For a rattle can job I am super pleased with it – although we’ll see just how it looks in the daylight when we head down to Stanford Hall this weekend…….

The Easter trip will see me head up to Coniston for three nights at Coniston Park Coppice and then three nights at the National Trust site at Wasdale. The plan is to have yet another go at the Old Man, and Oli will be joining me for a few days for an attempt at Scafell Pike. Unfortunately I couldn’t get in to Pier Cottage for this trip, but we did manage to wangle three nights there in August which is a bit of a result. It’s no real hardship going to Coniston Park Coppice – their facilities are awesome – and it should be better value now that I have joined the Caravan and Motorhome Club. Yep, you read that correctly!

I’m hoping that the weather will be significantly better than it is today, as it is absolutely hammering it down out there. Fortunately Clarence is sporting his Just Kampers cover, which seems to be performing really well. Well, now that I eventally figured out which way round it goes! I wish I’d bought one sooner, but you know what I’m like for procrastinating. He’s just been through his MOT and only needed a front wheel bearing sorted and an adjustment to the horn. As a treat, I fitted some headlamp grills and a new mesh for his front grill the other day. For the first time I can remember, a couple of ten minute jobs did actually only take ten minutes!

I’ll skirt over the nonsense from VW Heritage over the purchase of the headlamp grills and mesh, save to say that once the remaining vouchers that the guys at Maples gave me when I left are spent, I’ll be buying most bits from Just Kampers. Not only is their service ridiculously good, but I’ll also receive a 10% discount now I’ve insured both VWs with them.

Not much else has changed on the Volkswagen front in the last few months. Lucille is currently at the blasters, with Jim having decided to go all in on the restoration. Evidently there was more rot than he was expecting when Ben at Robertson’s Restorations started the strip down. Planning for next year’s German Job is moving at a glacial pace, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out. Life wise, I’m settling into the new gaff nicely and it’s eventually feeling like I might be settling into the new job more. I’ve also taken up home brewing, and my debut efforts haven’t been half bad. Watch this space!

The one big change is that the site has had another facelift. With WordPress moving over to the Gutenberg block format, I figured it was time for a change. Plus it’s good to keep my hand in at that sort of thing. I definitely made sure I backed it up beforehand this time!

The post Plans Afoot appeared first on 72bug.com.

There are loads of positives about having moved out of the city, not least that it’s a whole lot less stabby. I’d forgotten just how much of a faff moving house actually is and a month on I reckon I’m just about organised in the new place. It’s so good to have a garage – although I found out today that the bus is just that little bit too long to fit in there. Dear Santa, please could I have a Just Kampers Deluxe Breathable Cover for Christmas?

The new flat itself is actually a fair bit smaller than Concord St, but having a bunch of storage space means that that isn’t really an issue. The fact it’s not on the 5th floor also means that loading the bus should be a whole lot quicker and easier.  Being only a couple of miles outside Ilkley, this place is really going to come into its own in the spring and summer.  Especially with it being half an hour closer to the Lake District……

The spring seems like quite a way off at the moment, what with Christmas only being a couple of weeks away.  At least the gig calendar has picked up over the last couple of months and we’ll be finishing the year of with a Black Stone Cherry double header. We’ve not seen them for two years now and amazingly these next two gigs will see them drawing level with Depeche Mode as the band I’ve seen the most frequently. Super looking forward to that.

Violated – and not in a good way

One of my achievements this summer has been to climb all three of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, admittedly not all in one go! Frankly it has been far too hot and I’m not sure that I would enjoy it. Doing them individually however, was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the morning before we conquered Whernside (the biggest hill in Yorkshire), I went down to the underground car park at the flat to retrieve my hat only to find that both the bug and the bus had been broken into.

The only damage done was to the bug’s paintwork and the only things they stole were of minimal financial value. Annoyingly they did have my old headtorch from my D of E days and also the storage bag for my old tent – again something I’d had for over 25 years. W*ankers. Because I’m planning on having a go at some of the surface rust that seems to be coming through in a few areas, I did have a go at repairing the damage and I don’t think I did a bad job at all. Just need to put a couple of days aside to deal with the bigger paint issues now.

With the heatwave over the summer the flat has been horrifyingly hot so I took every opportunity to get out in the evening for a bit of a pootle and found a couple of nice loops into the countryside north of Leeds.  And now that the bug has had its wheel alignment sorted out and the bus has a fresh anti-roll bar fitted, the pair of them are probably driving the best they ever have. The bug only needed a new pair of front tyres for its MoT, thanks to the wonky wheel alignment, and the only other physical changes I’ve made is to add a shift extender and to replace the locking fuel cap with a non-locking version on the bus. That locking fuel cap was, without doubt, the most irritating piece of cr*p I have ever come across.

Big hills denied

We’ve also had a couple of weekends away in the bus in the latter half of August, up to the Lakes and Masham. The original plan was to head up the National Trust site at Wasdale so that we could have a go at Scafell Pike but the forecast was for such torrential rain that we decided to relocate to Coniston (obviously) to potentially have another go at the Old Man. We would then have the option of taking refuge in a certain hostelry if the weather put pay to our efforts.

Putting up the awning in the rain sucks. Especially after the summer we’d had up to that point. Not only that but we pretty much had to run the mile from the Park Coppice site to the Black Bull so we could get there in time to order food (and enjoy a good few pints). The following day the weather wasn’t a whole lot better so we decided to stay relatively low rather than try to get to the top of the Old Man. In doing so we worked up a decent thirst, having had a really good walk up to Levers Water through the old copper mines. Scafell Pike and the Old Man are peaks that still elude me – one of these days!

The bank holiday weekend that immediately followed saw us meet up at Masham with the Frenchs and the Pageant 7, with Matt driving up from Kent. The grass pitches at the Old Station are so much easier to get the awning pegs in than those at Park Coppice in Coniston! The sun made an appearance on the Saturday so we did a nice 8.5 mile loop finishing up at the White Bear Hotel in Masham to enjoy some of Theakston’s finest. With the weather taking a turn the next day the decision was made to do the brewery tour on the Sunday. Naturally we had a terrible time…….

And that pretty much brings you up to date. The wind is howling outside and summer feels like forever ago. That’s probably not been aided by the lack of time off work, but that is nonsense best forgotten.

The post Paint, Pints and Peaks appeared first on 72bug.com.

The middle of the month saw us head back to Cooper’s campsite in Edale to meet up with Darryl and Jo and the Pageant 7. Now I haven’t actually seen the place in decent weather, so was thoroughly looking forward to it. Clarence had even had a decent clean and wax the weekend before in anticipation of some sunshine. Mr Cooper was actually in pretty chatty form when I arrived, although I’m really not that interested in the price of red diesel or the availability of whatever gas he keeps on site.

Darryl and Jo weren’t scheduled to arrive until later that evening and so I had planned to try to get to the top of Mam Tor and back before they landed. It is so much easier getting up there in the dry and as such I was back at the site with plenty of time, having done a solid 5 miles and had a quick Farmer’s Blonde.

The following day was an absolute scorcher and we had a thoroughly lovely time getting to the top of Kinder Scout, even if it was hot work scrambling in the mid day sun. Still, I’d rather have the heat – I bet it’s pretty bleak up there when the weather’s bad.

Another bus joins the family

Fast forward a week and my plans for a nice quiet bank holiday weekend were thrown into pleasant disarray when my old buddy Oli announced that after some to-ing and fro-ing he was back in the market for a T4. I spotted one in Kendal on eBay which looked a decent buy and within the space of a couple of days the decision was made that we would go and take a look at it. Even if he didn’t buy it, we would have a good day out, having not seen each other since last September. As it turned out, the van turned out to be pretty much spot on so a deal was struck and we agreed to pick it up later that day as the seller had to go out for the afternoon.

The Lakes didn’t seem as busy as you would expect for a bank holiday in May, although all the places we fancied staying at were full. So, as we had some time to kill (and following a very agreeable luncheon and sticker purchase at the Hawkshead brewery), we decided to have a run over to Langdale and see whether we could find anywhere to pitch up for the night. Most conveniently the National Trust had a car park just by the Old Dungeon Ghyll hotel so we decided that we’d head back there once we’d picked the van up.

Obviously we had to stop and take some snaps of both vans at the lay by that has views down the valley on our way back and after having been driving for most of the day I was more than ready for a pint of OP or six at the ODG walker’s bar that evening. There was also tequila involved later in the evening thanks to the guys who were sitting on the same table as us (a couple of bikers who worked in the oil industry and a girl called Clare who worked for the National Trust and who had spent the last 26 days riding around the Lakes with just her horse and dog for company), and I have very vague recollections of us being in a scouse couple’s motorhome and that’s about it!

I must admit that my head was a touch sore the next morning, which was another beautiful day. A roast beef dinner over at the Black Bull may have helped on that front and having loaded up with oatmeal stout we had a quick wander down to the water’s edge before heading home. I think that’s where my legs got bitten to buggery because up to that point I’d been fine. They really went to town on me and Sunday night was agony. Oli made it back the almost 300 miles just fine and I don’t think he was actually in too much trouble when he revealed his purchase to Zinnia!

In a weird (and fairly tenuous) coincidence Facebook reminded me, just yesterday I think it was, that it was 6 years ago to the day that I’d first camped in Clarence down in Salisbury.  Fortunately that was also the last time we came home on the back of a recovery truck! I think the photos are over on the Autumnal Update post. I’ve certainly refined the whole camping experience in that time – I’m not sure I was quite as well prepared as I thought on that occasion!

March is also when Clarence’s MOT is due and back in November I had taken advantage of VW Heritage’s Black Friday deal and ordered a new steering box. After 6 years I really didn’t think we would get him through another MOT with the current set up. Unfortunately by the time MOT time had come around, the new box hadn’t arrived so I had to cancel that order and order one from Just Kampers instead. Because of the rarity of LHD early bay steering boxes I decided that we needed to go down the route of converting him to a late bay box. Amazingly, he only failed the MOT on one item:

Nearside Rear Inner Drive shaft which forms part of the suspension coupling gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc (2.4.G.4e)

I was super looking forward to giving the new steering box a good test that weekend as Ginger Mat and I were planning on popping up to Harrogate for this year’s Spring Dub, but the snow stitched us up on that one also, the show being postponed to April. Hopefully the weather won’t affect that, or the Clique 53 Spring Classic at Newstead Abbey next weekend.

Instead it got a decent work out last weekend when we headed down to the Waterloo Inn at Biggin to catch up with Darryl and Jo, Tess the dog and the Pageant 7.  Naturally it rained, but at least the snow stayed away. And what a difference the new steering box made! Sadly it couldn’t stop England losing to France in the rugby, but it is so much better, especially on some of those winding Peak District roads. It wasn’t the cheapest thing I’ve ever had done but it makes driving far more relaxed.

Years ago I had the idea of repainting the bug’s old hubcaps and because of some paint issues it was a job that never got completed, I’m not sure what rekindled that idea but I decided to have another go. When it gets a little warmer I’ll be stripping them all again because we had an unfortunate reaction…….
