Happy 21st, Bongy!

Thanks to the Russian Bongo website I’m able to confirm that today is our Bongo’s 21st Birthday. As Bongy has taken us far & wide and been everything we ever hoped for and far more, it would be rude not to mark the occasion. And on Thursday, as a special treat we’ll bring him to meet a lot of th...

Re: Inner Sill Welding - Bongo Spares?

Bongo Spares will do the job right for you but it's not a 'while-u-wait' service, you'll have to leave it with them for several days and get a train to/from Sowerby Bridge. But they will do a proper job for you.

Re: Off to Scotland

Thanks all for your thoughts on campsite availability. Will chance it, as you suggest, in less popular areas, and once I know when I will be ready to go over to Skye, make enquiries then. Sounds good. If it looks (last minute) like we are not going to make the bash then I will PM you some Isle of S...

Re: Off to Scotland

One slight correction to the above, the wild-camping magnet at Calgary Bay on the isle of Mull was absolutely rammed, and mostly with people who looked like they'd been there a good while. So we sought out our own little haven elsewhere and had a lovely night - and went back to exactly the same spot...

Re: Off to Scotland

The main concern that I am now feeling is, I had planned to travel without pre-booking, but am now wondering if I will experience problems finding just one space in campsites if I just turn up. Time will tell. I do not want to have to be in a certain place on a certain day. That's not how I travel....

Re: From one B-word to another

Normal B-words (on a family-friendly forum) would be things like barbecue, bockwürst, bratwürst and burgers. Maybe Bordeaux, Burgundy or Beaujolais if you're into a spot of red and maybe Barcelona, Berlin or Blackburn if you're talking tours. I think the best word I coined was Bongolianism (do a for...

Keep it.

We're now into our twelfth year and wouldn't be without it, it's part of the family.

Re: Team Muz Wales tour 2010

You may wonder why, from Cae Du in Gwynedd on our last night, we ventured south into Powys and then Dyfed to Borth. This was in search of the lost forest, some Scottish geezer on the recent "Coast" series on the BBC was waxing lyrical about how Cardigan Bay was once a fertile land and to ...

Re: Bongo-friendly parking, Edinburgh

Well if anyone is in a similar predicament I can recommend parking at the station in Wallyford (just to the east of the city bypass, no height barrier and good camera coverage) and get a train to Edinburgh Waverley, free parking and £4.00 return on the train, and it's only 10 minutes each way. It's ...

Re: Bongo-friendly parking, Edinburgh

Thanks for the replies - looks like a train from a nearby local station is the way to go, they don't appear to have height barriers on them, or the ones I've checked out on Goggle Maps don't appear to.

Bongo-friendly parking, Edinburgh

Does anyone know any Bongo-friendly carparks in central Edinburgh, they mostly seem to be less than 2.1m and even the park & ride is 1.9m which is no use at all. We'd need about 4 or 5 hours. There's a Sainsbury's opposite the Straiton park & ride (just off the A701 south of the city bypass)...

Re: Advice on rear arches

See this: https://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=76068 We went for a fibreglass repair with a view to get another couple of years, as it turned out we got five. But we then had a proper welding job done which should last for years to come. Our reluctance to do this initially was...
