2 Summer 2022 Summer 2022 ISSUE 2 CONTENTS PDF BUY Up Gore Bay Linda Butler Up There are two ways to get to Gore Bay. One via Cheviot township. Wow, that's such an awesome drive. The other entrance is near Donnet. This drive takes you past the Cathedral Cliffs. What an amazing spot. Gore Bay Camp is a small camp. We had to pre-book our site, and pay by cash when the custodian did his rounds in the evening. The facilities are old, but usable. Such a great place to go for a weekend break close to our home in Christchurch. We were fortunate to have a front row seat. Oh gosh. The sunrise was so pretty. And I loved the reflection effect on the windows of the bus. Hubby enjoyed a wander along the shoreline while I read my book at the front of the bus and chattered to our neighbours. No internet. No EFTPOS. No shop! No where for milk. Not unless you drive into Cheviot. Can't wait to go back again! North Canterbury. Up Up 1/7

It was difficult to access the fuse box etc; I needed better storage capabilities; and of course, a new toilet. I didn’t like the idea of fitting a bracket for my existing toilet as this would have meant that the bottom unit would have to be lifted over the seat and out the back door, not easy. Also, the sink was too high, I needed to revamp the plumbing to make the sink more accessible. My controller was in the far corner of the bed with the fuse box underneath (out of sight), this meant that I had to completely re-wire the van. Although I am quite familiar with electrics, it was a task that was not easy. Cabinets I purchased some 18mm plywood (non-construction. This has a beautiful grain and NO knots. After removing the existing cabinets and of course marking all the cables with what they were connected to, I was able to take measurements and design the units. Then I gave everything a coat of varnish to protect the ply. The fridge cabinet was the first to be installed. I had built it to the maximum height possible and leaving line of sight for the driver out the rear window. Storage in a small campervan is always an issue, but with the fridge higher I gained a large drawer underneath, with a bonus that I could access the fridge contents a lot easier. Plumbing After the fridge unit was completed I installed the water and sink unit. I fitted a low profile waste to the sink and carefully routed the pipes around the back to ease filling the water tank. The waste water can either be emptied using the 20mm tap, bottom front, or completely removed by undoing the quick-fix coupler. Electrics I was pleased with the improvements to the electrical system, the fridge had an isolating switch (brass), top right-hand side, and the water pump left-hand switch. Above the water pump switch, is the battery indicator. The controller is now very easy to read and the fuse box is mounted to the far right under the fridge switch. On the left-hand side of the fridge panel, I have fitted the 200W inverter. Underneath is the control box for my diesel heater. To the right-hand side of the inverter is a spare USB double port which I use to plug in my mozzie zapper, lol. Toilet I invested in a CHH toilet model 3924T which I got on special for $399. It is a larger capacity 24 litres. As I will be on the road for weeks at a time I thought it would be more suitable. In the very corner I fitted a toilet brush from Temu, it has a water catchment tray underneath to catch any drips. On the side of the sink unit is a hose which is dual purpose — as a shower and a wash down for the toilet, if required. Service, warrant, travel I had a full service on the van and was was very fortunate that the guy was there from NZ Lifestyle Camping so he checked my van out and has organised a green warrant which arrived before I left. I am aware that it is not a requirement to put the sticker on my van, but if I can educate other campers, I will. I am departing Auckland in Feb, heading down to the Bulls CAMPFEST then on to the South Island for 172 days on the road. Back in Auckland mid-August. So, if you see me at a freedom camping site please pop over and say hi. See you on the road. Roland made it to Campfest, Bulls, March.©2025 Jo Ward. Up Up 11 autumn 2025 , p 19

Winter 2025 ISSUE 12 BUY PDF ToC Click on image for full view and caption recipe_H_Ginger pudding served with ice cream-r.webp GO TO CHILLY CHILLY CHILLY OUT THERE Warming winter food Margaret Earle Hot soup and warm bread are a great combination in winter. Here’s a couple of simple soup recipes that I make regularly and two self-saucing puddings. Carrot and peanut butter soup Serves 4 1 large onion — peeled and chopped 5 large carrots — peeled and diced 2 Tbsp butter salt and pepper 4 tsp chicken or vege stock ½ cup medium sherry 2 heaped dessertspoons peanut butter juice of half a lemon ◗ Melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan. ◗ Add the onions and carrots. ◗ Cook for 5 mins . ◗ Sprinkle in stock, pepper and salt. Add sufficient water to cover the veges. ◗ Bring soup to the boil, cover, and simmer till veges are soft. ◗ Blend veges and return to pot. ◗ Stir in sherry. ◗ Boil gently, add in peanut butter, stirring until dissolved. ◗ Watch the soup doesn’t burn at this stage. ◗ Stir in lemon juice and serve. ◑ Seafood chowder Serves 4 750g seafood, such as fresh fish and/or mussels, frozen shrimps and/or squid 1 large onion — chopped 3 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp flour 2½ cup chicken or vege stock dash of each: salt, pepper, cayenne, dill seed, fennel seed, nutmeg ½ cup milk (can use plant-based milk) or cream (for a richer soup) lemon juice chopped parsley ◗ Cook onions gently in butter until soft and golden. ◗ Stir in flour, cook slightly and add stock. ◗ Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, nutmeg, dill seed and fennel seed. ◗ Cover and simmer for 20 minutes . ◗ Just before serving add chopped seafood, milk and parsley. ◗ Bring gently to simmer and add lemon juice and adjust pepper. ◑ Self-saucing puddings A self-saucing pudding is a great addition to dinner on a cold winter evening. These two simple recipes can be cooked either in the oven, a microwave or a steam pudding bowl. A steam pudding bowl is an easy way to cook puddings when you don’t have access to either a stove or microwave. If you don’t have a steam pudding bowl you can use a billy inside a larger billy or pot. The only difference between these three methods is that cooking your pudding in the oven requires more water for the sauce than using a microwave or steam pudding bowl. Self-saucing chocolate pudding Serves 6 FOR PUDDING 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 Tbsp cocoa ⅓ cup sugar 2 Tbsp butter ½ cup milk ½ tsp vanilla FOR SAUCE ½ cup sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa 1¾ cup hot water (if cooking in oven) or 1 cup (if using microwave or steam pudding bowl) ◗ Sift the dry ingredients for the pudding together in a medium-sized bowl. ◗ In a smaller bowl, melt butter and add milk and vanilla. ◗ Pour into dry ingredients and mix together until smooth. Oven/microwave: ◗ Pour mixture into a well-greased casserole dish. ◗ Mix together sugar and cocoa for sauce. Sprinkle this over the pudding mixture. Cover with the hot water. Bake at 180°C for 45 mins , or for 10 mins on high in a microwave. If using a steam pudding bowl ◗ Mix all the sauce ingredients together and pour into the bottom of the steam pudding bowl. ◗ Then spoon the pudding mixture on top. ◗ Close the lid on the steam pudding bowl and place in a pot of simmering water with a lid on top of the pot. ◗ Cook for 1 hour . ◗ Then carefully open the lid of the steam pudding bowl. ◗ Check if pudding is cooked by inserting a fork or skewer. If this comes out clean, then the pudding is cooked. If it doesn’t then replace the lid and cook a bit longer. ◑ Self-saucing ginger toffee pudding I found this recipe on the Chelsea sugar website — chelsea.co.nz/recipes . It is very similar to the chocolate pudding recipe. The online recipe was written specifically for cooking in an oven, but I have adapted it to use in a steam pudding bowl. It’s a great recipe if you enjoy the flavour of ginger. Adjust the amount of ginger to suit your tastes. Serves 6 FOR PUDDING 1 cup flour 2 tsp baking powder 1–2 tsp ground ginger ¼ cup white sugar ¼ cup brown sugar 50g butter 1 Tbsp golden syrup ½ cup milk FOR SAUCE ⅓ cup white sugar (slightly less than the online recipe) ⅓ cup brown sugar (slightly less than the online recipe) 1 Tbsp golden syrup 1–2 tsp ground ginger 2 cups boiling hot water (if cooking in oven) or 1 cup (if using microwave or steam pudding bowl) ◗ Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Melt butter with golden syrup. ◗ Pour into dry ingredients along with the milk and mix all the pudding ingredients together. Oven/microwave: ◗ Place in a greased over-proof dish that is quite deep. ◗ Put the sauce ingredients in a bowl. ◗ Add the boiling water and stir until ingredients are mostly dissolved and then pour over the batter mixture. ◗ Bake for 45 mins at 180°C or for 10 mins on high in a microwave. If you are using a steam pudding bowl Use the same cooking instructions as for the chocolate pudding (left). ◑ 🏕️ Up Up 12 Winter 2025 , p 35
