At 14:19 on November 13, 2011, Chris Cuthbert said…: As ever with me, there'll be loads of photos. Loads of work to do as i've never done anything like this. Have saw, will cut! I'll be an electrician, joiner and a plumber by the end of it. Hopefully be habitable by spring but will all get ripped apart again when i get the money together for a high top roof. The van belonged to a member of our climbing club that passed away so hope to put it together as he would have liked.

At 13:44 on November 13, 2011, Chris Cuthbert said…: Will need to get a "Scratchy Heid" Graphic for the old van. Lookin forward to getting started on it. Will be amazing up there in the winter. Loads to be doin. Keep safe and warm mate. Best wishes from us to all of you.

At 13:25 on November 13, 2011, Chris Cuthbert said…: Were in Wester Ross for the week. An amazing place Had to get down to Applecross quick as we were visiting friends there. As usual, we didnt want to come home. Just about to get a wee van so after a bit of converting with stuff from our old caravan, we'll be on the road. Do we get honourary membership to the Scratchy heid club?

At 13:12 on November 13, 2011, Chris Cuthbert said…: Hi Andy

Was up your way again but was in a rush so didnt get time to stop. Definitely next time! Hope all is well in the land of the Scratchy Studios. :o)
