I dont even remember how it came about or even who mentioned it first or why but somehow during last year we all agreed the three of us with our families are going to explore North Africa in our Syncros from December 2013 onward. We had lots of planing to do but one thing was hanging over us and that us and all the people coming on the trip had never been all together at the same time in one place before and Harriet (Al’s partner) and Louise (Jed’s partner) had never even met before.
We decided to meet up and do a spot of camping for the weekend at www.wowo.co.uk and as luck would have it we picked the only time this year so far that had a generous amount of snow fall. We all got on great and had a great time but it was also time to test out some new equipment and even at this early stage we found a few faults with the things we need to trust. The cold weather killed Jake’s leisure batteries so they had no heating in the sub zero temperatures the first night (not so good when you have a baby only a few months old) and we tried to video the weekend and found cheap none brand memory cards hate the cold and stop working. Jake popped out on the Saturday morning and fitted new batteries that saw them through the rest of the weekend in comfort and I put the camera away due to the cheap memory cards and carried on enjoying the weekend planning and talking about what was going to follow over the next few months.
When we got home and back to work and school the following week Isaac (Jeds son aged 7) pulled his own small camera out of his pocket and after sitting down with him and popping a couple of photos in from the adults we made his first video together of the weekend we didn’t video.
So here goes, Isaac’s first Campervanculture video.

It’s REAL, Jed!!
Might I presume to add this link to images (about halfway down the page) of our trip in 2010 to Morocco in a 2WD T4: https://bit.ly/TrrGH1 ?
AFRICAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Miles, I did read it just after your trip but will have another read to refresh my memory.
You’ve got a young film maker in the works there Jed. But I did’t realize that you where a plumber too.
Love your videos. Happy Camping.
Thanks Arend, good to have you with us.
Hi Jed,
I hope see you and your son in may in France, in Normandie with the syncro-club.
Janmi
Hi Janmi, If I get the time I will be with you.
Nice to see the videos back Jed
We were just thinking about a first winter camp – this will convince the wife.
Thanks Mike,
I was out with the family this weekend and have just put together a video that is loading now. Its a real pain when life gets in the way of the things we love some times, but this weekend felt amazing getting out and about with a camera in my pocket going where ever the wind took us.
Good to have you with us.
Jed
Hope you have a great trip to Morocco, I love the place been a few times now.
