Where's that ?

Isles of Scilly.  That wave is covering the favourite boozer.  It's not even a mad storm, just spring tides, massive swell with some high winds.  Just the usual winter weather.

Friend had a drone with him on our last visit to Ontario in October for Thanksgiving.

 

Spectacular view of the property, and it's all ours.....

Out of rep. That is spectacular. You lucky jammy brilliant bastard. You're gonna get eaten by a bear but fuck me what a life.

Classic Laurentian Shield right there

Not really off grid but I've got family in Itsly but no longer go over very much. Missed a trip to the Dolomites in northern italy many years ago because of a hangover. Idiot. Doubt if I'd have seen Mars though. 

 

This photo's great in it's own right.

Looks like you still have that hangover judging by your spelling.

Decent this morning.

"Daddy is that a Humpback Whale?"

"Nooo, don't be silly....hang on....fuck, yes it's a Humpback Whale son".

What was that bird diving into the sea ?

[polymerpunkah]

A gannet?

 

Amazing footage, whichever.

Yeah gannet or gull.  Lots of fish around today. Shhh, don't tell Europe.

Bear spray? If I'm camping in bear country I want an AW50 Sniper Rifle, a Colt M16A2 Assault Rifle and a Panzer division with me. Fucking bear spray. 

Exactly

Recently bought a decent van to convert into a camper , my new year project . Just weighing up my solar power set up , and my Chinese diesel heater has arrived . Looking forward to a few peaceful off grid excursions.

No problem, going to carry on with the insulation this week then ply out and plan lay out . I only have 3m from bulkhead to rear doors so not particularly expansive.

Might have to change the thread title to 'Tier 5' soon.

sure - i'm planning on spending next christmas there.

 

bring your ski doo, rifle, snow shoes, skis or skates...dress warm and bring snacks and booze.

 

i'll have the drugs.

 

i've been working on convincing the wife that winter in the isolation of northern ontario will be more fun than mexico...not sure she's completely on board yet.

 

 

[neko]

this might seal the deal.

 

she'll go anywhere if there's a hot tub.....

Wildlife documentary on BBC2 tonight at 7 , ostensibly about the migration of wolves but from memory the real star is the Dolomites' scenery.

Great isolation. But a lot of rocks.
