Join us, Carol & Ken, as we take a trip to the New Forest in our Consort Nova Motorhome called Snoopy.
In this video, we enjoy an evening cook up on the beach but will it be too cold for Carol?
The following day we discover the Tall Trees Trail and marvel at the size of the giant sequoias before heading into Brockenhurst for supplies and a cheeky cream tea.
With a storm forecast, what adventures will the next day hold?

🔶 About us 🔶
Welcome to our channel! We're Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our camper van, which we have just upgraded to a slightly larger model.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.
We're passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. We're always learning and look forward to sharing our campervanning experiences with you.
While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local food. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos.
We like historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We aim to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.
We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.
Our channel is perfect for armchair travellers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our 'Buy Me a Coffee' fund, helps to keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. ❤️

I watch you from the US (Virginia). I have been a full-time caregiver for my parents with dementia for 8 years. My dream is to own an RV and travel. Your videos give me so much relief from my stressful life. I'm briefly able to escape the daily struggle of dementia. Thank you for helping me relax and to dream.

Microwave murder! We have a desert here in the southern US called pecan pie. It is made with Karo Syrup 2 cups of pecans 2 eggs and a pie crust. The Karo and eggs after cooked in a sauce pan make for a super sweet custard that when properly heated in a microwave will melt the skin off the roof of your mouth for at least two weeks.

Wow A few days ago I commented about the Isle of Wight where I used to live and now you are in the New Forest where I now live. I love Keyhaven and the walk to Hurst Castle to get a close view of the Isle of Wight and now you go to Blackwater where I often go for a walk. It's so nice seeing the pair of you explore my 'old' and 'new' locations. I am even finding 'new' places here in the New Forest that I m now seeing because of your films. I am also enjoying a newly acquired love of sausage baps too. Cheers Tony 👍👍

I used to work for CAT UK as a design engineer, in Peterlee, Co Durham where they make the Articulated Dump Trucks. This is the only place they make the AT,s for Caterpillar. The ones you showed are made by Bell, but look identical to the CAT ones. These were originally made in Peterlee by D Brown who then became Artix then taken over by Caterpillar. They are great to drive but are very bouncy

I know it seems always wonderful to find a secluded car parking place but, a personal warning….such places are a mega for car break-ins. Happened to me twice in New Forest. Was only on a short half hour walk, each time, like yourselves. On both occasions car broken into and valuables taken. Please be careful. Sometimes the security of other van occupancy around, can be a better protection. Loved the video

Hi Carol & Ken, a few years ago on a visit to Romney Marshes I saw a very similar shingle moving operation being carried out near Dungeness Nuclear Power Station. Some locals told me that it was a continuous, never ending operation due to coastal erosion and the fact that the entire South East of England is sinking into the sea. To prevent the power station from becoming a victim they have to continuously move shingle from the east side of the power station and dump it back on to the beach on the west side. I don't know if it is for a similar reason that the shingle where you were was being moved but the operation looked very much the same. Thank you both for your wonderful and very entertaining videos, they only get better and better.

I might be wrong, but I think this might be the first vlog where Snoopy hasn't been referred to as the 'new van'. I love my Sunday morning fix of 'Life is too Short'. 😊

Great vlog and so pleased to see the van coming into its own, you must be very pleased. Trangia cook sets are brilliant and I have been using them for over 30 years. If you are going to stick with meth, I would suggest a 10% water mix as this will give a much cleaner burn. I moved over to bio-ethenol a couple of years back, cheaper and burns really clean.... smells a little better as well. Still getting used to our NV200 😅, but all good. Take care....

Yes the water trick really works well, much easier to wipe clean.

I suugest a Trangia kettle, many months of wandering around Norwegian mountains with an MSR petrol stove (not a Trangia) But the Trangia kettle was always kept me company and served very well as kettle/teapot. You have to keep yourself hydrated 😊

Such a treat to be with you on your trips. Definitely going to try a Rustlers now. Have never had Mulligatawny soup ( plus veg) but it was my Grandad’s favourite! Inspiring locations and food and such gentleness of you two. A tonic.

I live on the edge of the New Forest and we do get a lot of young people doing their DOE here. You are seeing areas of burnt heathland because the forestry workers carry out controlled burning as part of the management of the land. Thank you for the video 😁

Aw that was lovely seeing you cooking on the beach. Lovely setting too. And in March! Fire pit is great for those conditions but you have to be careful. I remember once sitting out till quite late and I was lovely and warm but nearly died packing it away it got so cold lol. Take care x

Trangia have been around for a long time. I had one in 1983 when I was hiking the south coast walking trek in Tasmania. Many dinosaurs were walking around back then.

Your walk about in the New Forrest was certainly quite muddy!!!! the giant trees were ever so interesting!!! the hardware store you went into was great, loved the various sized tea pots!!! I have had an oven thermometer just like the one you've just got for a very long time... what fun it would be to drive one of those huge trucks.....LOL

Hari Om Old caravan trick for the running cold before the hot... stick a bottle/flask under it and keep the run-off for cooking or cuppa later. No waste at all. I have had a couple of walks recently that resembled yours in the NF underfoot - and I don't have wellies. Time to emulate you two, methinks! YAM xx

Suggestion: Modify your hot water feed line to recirculate the cold until the water reaches a heat valve temperature setting to turn off that circulation. I've seen that feature mentioned in other van builds. I bet Consort could introduce that modification for you. That would save your cold water and cooking gas, plus it would free up a hub on your stove for other purposes. Rather like an "Instant Hot" feature. Tah-Dah!
