We've been asked why we have a new checkpoint at Mainstone Village Hall this year. Well, the answer is that James and Jackie are selling their farm, so we can't use Reilth Top any more. This was always everyone's favourite checkpoint on SW80K, so please join us in saying a massive thank you to James, Jackie and their team for keeping everyone well fed and watered over the last eight years. We wish them all the best.

Superb range of vans from our headline sponsor for 2027.

Two campervans, two different ways to enjoy van life.

Our T7 Freedom and T7 Go! both offer everything you'd expect from a CamperKing conversion, but each brings something a little different to the table.

In our latest video, Stuart takes you around both models, exploring their layouts, features and what makes each one unique.

Whether you're just starting to look into campervans or weighing up your options, it's well worth a watch.

Watch the full walkthrough on our YouTube channel.

Which would you choose: Freedom or Go!?
