We take the little red camper to Sussex Campervans for some repairs and then book our ferry from Liverpool to the Isle of Man.
The day before the ferry we start our journey up to Liverpool. A healthy lunch stop at Beaconsfield Services off the M40 and a mug of tea at Hilton Services on the M6 break up the journey then we try a different type of park up for the night.
The next morning we are excited to arrive in Liverpool and check in for the ferry.

Hi everyone. Thanks for watching and your lovely comments. Quite a few people have mentioned the high cost of the ferry crossing. We chose to pay extra by only booking a one way ticket thus giving us the freedom of deciding when to return. Its certainly an expensive way of doing it but worth it for what we do. The next video will be about using the ipad for navigation. We have received quite a few questions about it and its easier to show you. Hopefully that will be up tonight and the next trip video will be on Saturday 👍

For the Charming LITS: So I've binged all the videos (except for caravan & day trips, bc i know i personally prefer "vanlife"living kind of vids), & I'd like to offer you for the low, low price of absolutely nothing my equally value-less 2 cents. My favorite vids are Isle of Man & Ireland & North Wales because: -- vids are a healthy length, @ 20 mins, rather than 10-15, which is just not enough Ken & Carol at 1 time for me. -- music/real time transitions are smoother, w mostly seamless volume differentials in the audio -- in later videos, i feel there's more Sir Ken Attenborough type of commentary narration, which I live for. --Lady Carol seems more comfy in front of the camera in the later vids. Your channel brings me peace & joy. Would love to see a Livestream, & i thank you for sharing your adventures!!💜💜💜

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

There is quite a difference between the first few vids and what we do now. A big learning curve and lots still left to learn. I shudder when I watch the really old ones.

@ronaroamsdeniseandsonny3545 Год назад

Just started watching this Isle of Man series. I live in Warrington and it's nice to see Moore and the Mersey Gateway bridge. I worked on the document control for that bridge and my dad & grandad built the original (Silver Jubilee) bridge. The IOM ferry crossing is what made me seasick (for life) aged 10. I'm going to enjoy reminiscing childhood holidays & day trips to IOM

A ferry always triggers the sense of an adventure which is daft as its not needed for one. Its the kid in us being awakened. I remember when everything triggered that response. Oh for those days again. 👍

@peterallman8474 2 года назад

Agree on all fronts. Whether snatching a couple of hours kip in the car after arriving in Dover or Calais at stupid o' clock in the morning for the cheaper crossings. Or the good old days of the Harwich to Hamburg crossing, 21 hours at sea. Always exciting.

Hi Carol and Ken. Never seen two more happy and contented people when you are touring in the Little Red Camper van!. Look forward to the next episode. When I lived in Scotland many moons ago it was an ambition to go the the IOM as the crossing was easy from Ardrossan to Douglas but never made it. Do not think that services operates these days but it was a firm favourite for Scots from the West Coast, it was an overnight sailing. Regards Crawford. PS In the last two weeks I have been called Cameron, Compton and to day, Lewis not because of my driving!

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

Thanks Crawford. What a shame you never made the crossing to the Isle of Man. It is something we have wanted to do since we had the caravan so we are really excited it is finally happening 🙂

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

OMG...Your gas is so expensive, I remember now, probably why people drive a standard transmission in the UK vs. an automatic..here, very few standard transmissions anymore. Smuggling a concern in the UK, people trying to leave the UK....here it is smuggling drug's from Mexico into the US, tight security at check points..crazy world we live in..do enjoy watching your video's, enjoy hearing the prices you pay for item's and of course the green landscape, rain ☔, castles and carryout food item's for lunch and dinner.😊🌵

Mmm…dark chocolate gingers - my all-time favourite biscuit but usually resist and buy them at Christmas. Interesting to chart your journey bound for the Isle of Man, but thought the ferry fare very expensive, especially being just one-way. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

It probably would have been a similar price for a return ticket but we wanted to be flexible and have no idea how long we will be on the island 🙂

@alanjackson4646 2 года назад

Glad to see you both so well. Looking forward to travelling with you around the Island. £540 return for that short distance is an eye opener. Could you please tell me about your ipad holder. Regards from Solent Coast. AJ

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

The ipad holder is a home made lash up. I used that plastic board that modellers and estate agents use. One piece is stuck onto the ledge in front of the radio. Another piece forms a lip that the ipad rests in. I use a strip of non slip mat to stop it moving and touch wood its never moved at all except coming off the ferry which you will see in the next episode. On rough roads its fine. It just drops in and rests against some non slip at the back. Very quick to set up and take down for storage out of sight. 👍 If you are tempted to try it I recommend you test the ipad in the car first. I was going to use a larger ipad pro but the gps lock didn’t work on it. This is an older ipad and works great.

Wow is it really a year since you were in Ireland? That's when I first became aware of your channel. Great content and videography as always. Where on earth has that year gone? Even with half of it spent locked down it's gone obscenely quickly. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

Yes that year has flown by. Thanks for sticking with us John 😁👍

Thanks again Ken, Carol, Very organised Ferry arrangements, made me smile compared to our ferry experience in Greece, been on several, but Kefalonia to Ithaca with a jeep is interesting, l would say a lot more informal, and on some trips getting on and off is like the start of a Grand Prix loosely marshalled by a Greek Police man giving everyone stern looks for no real reason with his hand casually on his gun.

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

Would love to do some of those trips and probably would be now had covid not messed everything up 👍

@adelarsen9776 2 года назад

That bitter looked super along side the fish and chips. But then again, I would say that..... Great to see the good folk at the Red Lion have business acumen, insight and aforethought. I dare say you'll return, am i right ? :-) Thorough search there by that man. He didn't find the 200kg of Ammonium Nitrate you had packed under the mattress..... And frisking Carol with a wand ? What are they looking for ? The Uzi or the MP5 you're both known for carrying ? Seriously, I am all for security - Done right.

@LifeistooshortCK 2 года назад

Pub parkups are a no brainer for both parties. It was good to see the security checks being done 👍🙂
