Well I've spent the week walking the rivers and the reservoir pictured and can't believe the lack of fish in the area. The rivers seem to be trout and salmon and nothing else and the reservoir has stocked rainbows and a few wild browns. There is also a massive lack of ground nesting birds. Expected to see the Res alive with coots,morehens and swans but not one seen after walking all the way round it and there are no pike or perch in it either. Same on the rivers all I've seen is one duck and loads of robins and a jay. Have the otters wiped out all the corse fish and ground nesting birds ? Hadn't been down this area for well over thirty years and it's shocking how much it's changed in that time.

Spent Christmas and new year with family then done a couple of nights in new forest. Now in Dartmoor national park after a slow drive through thick fog , strong winds and heavy rain. Stopped to look at a few rivers on my way but not looking good for fishing. The Avon looked like it was about to over flow in a few places. It's too rough to fish the beach at Torquay and Plymouth so will have to sit it out of own here and hope things improve.

Immaculate that pal. Nice bit of kit, proper tourer. Carp gear inside, boat on the roof, bike on the back 
Been contemplating a van conversion myself but can’t justify it at the moment, car, bikes etc. when the time is right I will be having one.

Looks nice mate, go for it, wish you all the best! 
I would be careful if you take it off grid, it’s a long one and low!
