Great British Camp Out for NHS staff, April 4th

Nobody told me there’d be days like these, strange days indeed. Who would have thought that people across the UK would unite to pay to sleep in their own VW campers, parked on their own drives and gardens? But the whole VW scene came together in a charity event to raise money for the fabulous NHS staff who are busy fighting Covid 19 on the nation’s behalf.

Since we’ve owned it, we have been to numerous car shows with our car club Kahiko Kula and enjoy that immensely, but taking it camping is our joy.
