Fancy a house on top of a (small) mountain?

My minimum requirements are heating, running water, decent internet and somewhere safe to put the bike. Anything else, is a bonus. On top of a mountain would be a big bonus.

Hahahaha I was going to say "That's a bit dry for Wales and then noticed that it really isn't Wales". It's got to be UK based as I'd have to travel to work occasionally - though I don't know how often. That looks nice though - low maintenance garden

Here's the Google Maps link, check it out on satellite view. It's my ideal house but wifey wants neighbours for some reason.

Colleague of Mrs ss worked remotely in Portugal...

Someone at my place tried that in the pandemic, shortly before he was made redundant. In theory it was possible but in practice wasn't so good.

Back home and chilling with an Estrella after the first ride of the year today on the Rockster. Happy happy happy to be back on my bike!

New Nitron shocks felt very good, maybe a little sensitive, a little teetery, but the tyre pressures might have been a bit high, or the pre-load a little harsh.

Battery doesn't seem to be maintaining its charge though, so time for a replacement, not a surprise, it's a few years old now.

I visit the Mach area a few times a year normally - great roads, a couple of my favourites

I'm on the overnight bus heading for Istanbul and I've just completed my UK Passenger Locator Form. Tomorrow I'm flying into Gatwick as M's Dad died Friday evening and she needs some support.

Her Dad was 81 and had Mesothelioma - cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. It's usually terminal and has to be in the top 5 worst ways to die from an illness. IRest peacefully now Joe.

That looks like not much more than a bedsit on the side of a hill.

It's just shed porn.

Just stuck in an offer for house we've seen - taken nearly 5 years for the missus to find a place she likes so fingers crossed!
Housing market is crazy at the moment - our house was advertised and sold the same day for above asking price.....

I forgot to mention a very large garage/ shed/ workshop with power and a woodburner...and a low local crime rate.

There's a Saharan dust cloud over Spain at the moment, it's like something from a martian sci-fi film. There is no colour except a reddish hue, a very bizarre thing.

You still kipping in the van? How is that going long term? Few people on our self build group live in there vans full time what gets me wondering of cabin fever can be an issue. Probably less chance with you being in a place with better weather than the UK just now.

Having done that, no, cabin fever is the last thing you get because you can drive to a new location as often as you like and get completely different views. You're outside more than you are inside, something that's hard to get your head around when you live in the UK.

Exactly as Rockburner says, more time out of the van than in it and move around. We've been in Spain since Jan 5th which sort of makes the outside stuff very easy to do. We're also looking at property here to use a base initially then move over full time when the driving license stuff gets sorted out (since Brexit you can't change a UK license for a Spanish one, you have to take the Spanish driving test after 6 months. Annoying as a Spanish license can be exchanged for a UK one).

I get the outside more than in thing. Even if its raining and i am only stopped for one night i want the awing up just for that more space feel. Not a wind out one but even the ones that slot into a runner can be out um in just over 5 minutes.



We are away three weeks next year what is nothing to you guys but its 8/9 days more than we are used to and meeting no one we know for the first time also. Just a bit worried i kill the wife and leave the body in Croatian well
