Having a van is really useful. So far it has:

  • Moved 4 ex-students and all their stuff back home. Tom won the prize for most clobber, although Heulwen is a smaller person so she wins the “most clobber per unit body mass” category.
  • Been makeshift scaffolding. first week of work was roofing a barn so we put boards across the roofrack at the back of the van and used it as a mobile platform!
  • Shifted a 200year old (estimated!) oak tree’s worth of planking.
  • Taken 6 bicycles, 1 tandem, 1 pub bench, 70pints of Arundel Gold beer, 2 crates of John Smiths, 2 magnums of wine, 300 hardback copies of “Austin 7, complete racing history”, 1 advertising board for said books, 1 gas cooker, 4 rucksacks of clothes, a comprehensive toolkit, 20l of water and 1 very fashionable jumper (not to mention 2 people) to Gloucestershire and back – although obviously the beer did not return!
  • towed a hot and bothered 1907 Mors Le Sanglier racing car through Midhurst town centre
  • and you can sleep in the back!
