Picking Up

In Feb 2010 my Father Passed on to pastures new after a short brave battle with cancer.
Both my Parents and I share(d) a love of  the outdoors,  and for the past decade had Volkswagens  Campers, all based on the Transporter built between 79 and 92(ish) of various guises .My Mum a decided to leave me some money enough to Buy a reasonable Camper, with the proviso that I "took" my Time.....However, within a Week I found a "Dehler Profi" Converted T25.

(T3 in Euroland, Vanagon in the States) and went north of the border to collect it.
The Camper was "Previously" enjoyed by a certain Laurie Pettitt, a well Known
engine rebuilder.
We stopped of in Beadnell on the way home, Stopping off briefly on Lindisfarne....
Here Starts the Blog of Matts Travels with "Sophie the Profi"........or Stella the Dehler as some of my meaner mates call Her.....
