Few more, an old Bahrain hood I made 

We had a great time, not hawking but foxing in London and deer outside the M25, we even made it to the local paper on the Isle of dogs for taking fox on the farm at mud chute, but good times come to an end, still had a nomadic lifestyle sort of, stayed in a yurt once with nomadic herders in China, and live in Canada nowadays, but the journey ain't over yet, and my missus wants us to retire in Thailand

Your caravan was palacial compared to mine, the rivets popped down one seam and there was often a draught, hence the arson ending.

That's awesome I've never really travelled apart from usual holiday destinations,  furthest place was new York. Used to love the deer myself, but travelled up north for them. These days I love wild camping on my own, kind of nomadic lol.

When I used to lamp road siding with the Cumbria lot back in the early 90s. My old mate had a Austin Maestro van we used lamp off the back of it. The engine seized so next time I went up he said he had got a new one, well he pinched a bright yellow forestry commission  van and hand painted it green and just put his number plates on it, and that was his idea of ringing it pmsl. Them boys were feral back in the day lol.

I would be into that, our version of wild camping was sleeping under trees sans tent or kipping in a haystack,our characters were sort of formed a little in those grotty caravans I reckon I got loads of pics, but all in a storage place in the UK, I will pop back over one day.

Talking of grotty places, I was once on a three day layover in Bangkok, and bumped into an old pal who was going down to Pattaya to play a darts match for money.

He was a tight f****r, so we got a baht bus down there and stayed in the Koala Bar hotel. What a shit hole ! I opened the wardrobe door and the rats scurried out of holes they had chewed in the back. Place was filthy, cockroaches everywhere, but my mate said "what do you want for 70 baht, (£1) a night " !

I stayed up all night at the bar, then got the bus back to Bangkok !

Cheers.

I agree about character forming, and old pics always good to see. One thing in this game/lifestyle you certainly meet some rum characters.  I don't think we would of met them or been this way if we had been in to cricket lol

Yup, those were the days I was maybe 19?arrived in manila with a mate, jumped in a taxi and asked for a decent hotel, we were young and a bit naive, the driver said he would take us to a hotel we would enjoy Manila had black-outs every night back then, power cuts, so we arrived at the hotel, went in, ladies seated all over inside, me and my mate want a room with single beds, receptionist asked for how many hours all night, a night "She repeated" You two man want a room for all night? "  the room had mirrored ceiling and the window looked out onto a stage and disco, not outside. The taxi driver had dropped us at one of ermitas finest brothels, oh and I had asked him a Filipino greeting, he told me to say" Ayoko ng babae, gusto ko lang lalake, bakla ako"  I later found it means I don't like women, I much prefer men, I am a raging homosexual yes, he had a sense of humour.
