Plus, exploding gas cylinders, Shogun breakdown, boat trip, slow lunch and an amazing boat tracker app

Grumpy has had a two week camping trip in an aging campervan and is keen to tell all about the fortnight's adventures.

The return trip on a hot Sunday was slow with many breakdowns, and for once not the Grumpy campervan.

Grumpy and wife of Grumpy helped successfully recover a caravan stuck in a ditch on the first night, using offcuts of Lippy's decking from a few months ago.

Lippy, Duckboy and the Horse Whisperer visited on the middle weekend and witnessed what happens if an "empty" gas canister is put in a bin with hot bbq coals.

We've been going to the campsite for nearly 20 years and have got to know some of the long-termers, all of whom have their eccentricities, including wearing boiler suits and budgie smugglers.

Grumpy has discovered how hard it is to walk over slippery rocks for a cheeky swim, nevertheless persevered as a swim in the sea is so cooling. Having met some chaps fishing in Chapman's Pool, Grumpy relates a story of a friend and a wayward fish hook, the one thing that Grumpy is scared of. That and snakes.

In golf news, Grumpy was marginally beaten by Wife of Grumpy, semi-professional golfer, at pitch & putt and Lippy beat Duckboy at crazy golf.

In Horse Whisperer car news, the Shogun has had a replacement engine fitted, and then broke down with a snapped alternator. Both problems were fixed by the amazing Fils Pajeros in Southampton, a brilliant, brilliant garage. The good news is the car is now running superbly!

It's Farnborough Airshow, which is very close to Lippy's house, offering plenty of distractions for this week. We're looking forward to a Lippy & Grumpy airshow party on Friday.

Grumpy went on a superb boat trip from Swanage to Poole and managed to turn the disappointment of not being able to go to Brownsea Island into a tasty, if slow, lunch.

Lippy's top tip is a water sprayer fan, not to be used near a computer. Grumpy's fun fact is almost a top tip and is the amazing Marine Traffic app for identifying and locating boats.
