Designer Dogs and Barbour Jackets - Alnwick, Bamburgh, Seahouses and Tynemouth 

Most honest van lifers on youtube, no Aires and graces just a normal couple being normal without any ulterior motive, keep it up.

Bloody hell that was the funniest rant I've seen in ages. Helen being so laid back made it even funnier 😅🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤

"I'm getting a crap dog and a parka!" Absolute gold....

You two are so funny, likeable and honest. You bounce of each other all of the time and I think you're doing a fantastic job of entertaining us. My kind of dry humour and you make me laugh more often. Thank you.

You are and will be happier in your 'Orphan Van' than the vast majority in the new Range Rovers. Relax and count your blessings

Brilliant video....hilarious 😂 17 dogs wearing Barbour jackets in a pub all fighting🤣🤣🤣. I'm just trying to picture it. Helen's 2 left feet flip flops can only happen to her 😔. The humour and banter between you are so effortless. Love the music you've chosen to accompany throughout your videos. Love your work.

So...what a couple! I never comment on RU-vid but you two are just brilliant so down too earth and are just a really lovely couple.. that’s why people watch you. As a 42yr old single dad myself...I wish I could find happiness again. Has Helen got any nice single friends for me! 🤣seriously though just wanted too comment keep doing what ya doing and don’t even mention the haters again in ya videos..it’s only coz jealous of what you have together and bring too RU-vid...love you guys..Peace

Lottielou is not a labradoodle she identifies as a cockerpoo! How dare you confuse your doggy niece! 😂 i'm so pleased you are now sharing your moaning with the world, means I dont have to listen to it as much 😂😂 love ya Bro and Helen of course 😘

How can anyone not like this channel. Helen is lovely. You lucky man! You are a good guy too James. Your fish and chip review was spot on. I am exactly the same. I have to say though, this country is dog obsessed. I personally don't like them. It's the smell and mess and I am allergic to the fur. I don't mind people having them on a farm or something as a working dog, but people now treat them equal or above people and demand that they can take as many of them as they want into restaurants and hotel rooms. It makes me gag. I work in a 'dog friendly' hotel and often see them pissing and shitting in reception and even in the restaurants. Disgusting.

Brilliant as always, Helen is as funny as ever with her two left flip flops, so so funny, xx

😂😂😂 love it I’ve not laughed so much for ages please continue with the great content 😘

Flip flops and £18 something for drinks, Hilarious! Actually the whole video absolute genius and so funny 😁 😂 Have a good week.

Absolutely peeing my knickers watching this vlog. Thats got to be the best rant ever. You two are hilarious. Really made my day❤❤❤❤

Just love you two !! Always make me laugh, you’re videos are a tonic in a crazy world! 🤪😂❤️

OMG you two make me laugh so much breath of fresh air both of you 🙂

Spot on with rant James, pubs are for drinking not crufts. Love the channel, Jim from Wakey.

You two are funny, ace and brilliant! I loved the video ❤

You can’t beat the smell of the morning dew when camping, better than James armpits 😂

You pair are just the best love watching you both so funny x you do make my day x

Mate, you have found 1 of the best companions ever. I can't get enough of this.

God I love you two. I’ve watched from the beginning. £18 for two drinks deserves a rant. I would done the same. Must be a northern thing 🤣. Helen straight hair and glasses 😉 it’s going on. James you’ve even inspired me to sell my camper-van and buy bigger one and live in it. You showed me that having a younger daughter I see once a week it’s possible. So thank you. It’s happening. Keep up the trips away drinking and keeping it real. And I look forward to the next one. 🥃

Aww you two are so likeable such a honest couple who’s living there best lives your content is brilliant as always. James is jokes when he goes into one . Helen is so laid back love you both ❤❤

You two crack me up, especially with James ranting and pulling a muscle 😂😂

Very funny! Really enjoyed this long vlog. What a beautiful place to visit. Bamburgh Castle is pretty stunning, must go one day myself. Thanks for the laughs, you two are such a brilliant double act!

Eh up nothing wrong with a bit of role play 😂😂😂 brilliant video as always just love the happiness you bring ❤

You guys are great, George and Mildred springs to mind, he he.

Love your channel best couple on RU-vid ❤❤❤❤

James' rant reminds me of my experience in St. Mawes Cornwall, 2 bacon rolls and 2 coffees... £23! I still haven't gotten over it and mention it regularly, it was five years ago 😂😂😂

I m a subscriber from Northern Ireland and I watch the channel regularly . Your videos are an absolute treat and I hope more and more people will subscribe and watch . Best Van life channel on RU-vid by a long shot .Just gets better and better with each adventure. Keep them coming please !

This one was hilarious, loved it. Interesting because you visited a bunch of places I've been to that my son lives near to but most of all for the 'grumpy night' 😂

Thank you for showing us all these quirky and beautiful places

I think you choose a really great musical backdrop you’ve got a gift of matching it with the content which makes your channel even better

I love you guys out enjoying life just as it should be, keep the excellent vids coming.

Years since I was in Northumberland bringing back memories. Bamburgh beach was deserted the day I went stunning. You 2 are hilarious buy the way

Helen is magic , you both made me smile

Absolutely hilarious ,so glad you enjoyed Craster.😂

Bamburgh is on my list to go to - thank you for showing us your travels again 👍. Helen with her two left flip-flops 🤣🤣. I always feel thirsty and hungry watching your videos 😉☺.

Two left feet ….made me laugh out loud 🤣

A minority with Range Rovers and those with Audis may be able to afford it. That's fine. But many can't. Many get these cars on crippling finance to act the part. To impress. To keep up with the neighbours. When we realise that you can have more fun, fulfilment and adventure in a Peugeot van with an IKEA mattress, coupled with an endless window of the sea (and a bit of wine), then you have found your peace. Crack on James and Helen.

Excellent, funniest rant I’ve heard for while😂😂😂👍👍👍👍

Absolutely brilliant as usual you have both made us laugh out loud. Carry on camping literally xx

Sooo funny James having a good rant 😂!! Love Bamburgh it’s beautiful, love my labradoodle too haha but 17 dogs in one pub is asking for chaos. As a dog owner I would not be comfortable in there with that many other dogs 😮

One of your best videos so far this......great fun, great locations.....Helen a delight throughout ....and a classic Yorkshireman rant!.... Loved it, cheers 👍

Love following you two, you both have a brilliant sense of humour. You are a breath of fresh air on Utube. Keep it up. 🙂

You and Helen make my day watching both of you xx

Fantastic trip, James where I live in Surrey a pint of Moretti is £6.70😢

Wish I had of known your were coming to tynemouth we live nearby we could of met up for a drink or one lol here is a little gift to pay for your posh drinks in Seahouses love your videos keep them coming you guys are amazing 👏 xx

You’re a right pair of “dirty bottles”!!😂. Honestly guys you’re both a pair of fresh air. Whenever a new video pops up I watch it as soon as I can or it’s something to look forward to later. At times you remind me of a “walking sitcom”. “It smells like camping…that’s my armpits love”.😂. “James reviews fish and chips again next week”.😂. “It’s a shame these pictures behind me are screwed down”.😂. “I went round the pub to count all the Dogs”.😂. The whole rant was like a Del Boy speech!!😂😂. “Who needs 3 Dogs…well she does”!!😂. Anyways back to the vlog!! You guys can never fail because the banter, the connection, the van life is so natural. You can’t beat a movie in bed!! Its the best!! Those homemade breakfasts looked fab by the way. Saving a few quid and just as good in my opinion. It was lovely to see the castle and the people outside having a good time. Reminded me of the old school trips as a child. “Gimmick books” and useless gift shops!! It doesn’t need me to tell you the charges were a scam.😂. So we’re the prices of those drinks in that pub!! “We got a cost of living crisis going on!!…not round here”.😂. I loved the subtle introduction of classical musical as you hit the sand dunes. The roaring grey seas were so atmospheric and complimented the misty fog!! Also a fantastic view and how lucky were those cricketers playing under the shadow of such a castle!! I don’t want you both to get big ‘ed’s because I could go on and on. The quality of these videos are genuinely superb and it “looks” effortless. My only fault(hear me out!!) is we need more material. Maybe think about ideas for some “short form ones”. Just a meal, going for a walk, generic issues with van life etc…I completely understand that you can’t always spoil us with these “weekend wonders”. That’s an apt word because you guys are truly wonderful. At the end of each video you always ask Helen “what was you’re highlight then”? I can answer that question…”You” guys are the highlight. Best from Liverpool, Keep ‘em coming. 🙏❤️.x

There's something very amusing and engaging about both James and Helen and very welcoming in a down to earth way-great accompanying music-I feel comfortable watching two happy intelligent folk enjoying life! Very funny and amusing!

Hilarious I love u 2. So normal and down to earth. Keep it real. Until next time, can’t wait

I never miss any of your uploads adventures love you both.

Brilliant video guys, I would of had a rant over that pub aswell, 👍🍷

Good music going round the castle 😊

Me a vicki went upto Whitley bay at Easter for 2 nights mate and walked into Tynemouth …very nice ,there was Mexican bar/ restaurant that we had a couple of beers in ….very nice apparently for food

I’m jealous….Ex-pat living in Miami and those breakfasts look bloody marvelous

Very Enjoyable Blog. Just come across.

Another fantastic video guys!, really enjoyed your adventure, so funny 😂, flip flops, tik tak, posh dogs gone wild in a pub! rant OMG, best entertainment all week 😂. Noisy uncontrolled kids are big pub annoyance for us! apparently the likes of “henry” an “Phoebe” need to explore and find their own boundaries!, oh really, we found ours soon enough with a clip round the ear! Lol. All the best to you both John & Cally

I Have the same problem pulling muscles, usually when wiping my arse. Its so annoying. Helen is a star keep up the good work, our favourite channel on RU-vid.

Brilliant catch up lovely video

You 2 are a tonic, brilliant vlog and so fuuny James. Love the rant. Your Co Cork, Irish subscribers.

Them flip flops nearly killed me

Eeeeee man you are hilarious. I can’t breathe 😂😂😂😂

Ah, James and Helen to brighten my Thursday evening 😁 I genuinely look forward to your videos. So funny and you two spark off each other brilliantly. However, I would give you a run for your money in the grumpy/ripping the p*ss out of everything stakes. Must be a middle aged Yorkshire thing 😂

This video brought back many memories from five years ago when me and my ex drove around all Northumberland, we loved it especially dirty bottle's pub .and we were going to rent a house in seahouses.. I had a massive vauxhall movano and big trailer so parking was a massive issue. But loved every second of the trip..but I love my little Peugeot expert now and will never hopefully live in a house again and I'm single and loving it you two have me crackin up laughing 😂😂😂😂😂❤ ❤❤❤ thank you x

Love it, always funny. Yous should be on the tv

The golden rule is, if you pay over a tenner for 2 drinks you take a glass home!! I have a cupboard full!! Great videos by the way you 2 are awesome!!

Tynemouth Metro Station is a deep joy. Undercover market; plus wonderful station bar 👌🍺🥂🍷🎉

I just love how Helen really has a proper first drink of her beer …. No little sips ! 😜

Another brilliant video James & Helen. We love following you. Keep it up. Great work 👊👏

No Joke, you are probably the best campervan/vanlife channel on t'internet

Great Vlog your rant was the funniest 😆 we have four dogs by the way !! 🤪🤪🐾🐾🐾🐾 but they don’t have Barbour jackets just hoodies 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣 xxx

You two are absolutely brilliant.thank you both

You two are fantastic - you really cheer me up!

Top video as always. Good rant & funny keep up the great vids 👍 👌

And you didn't have Craster kippers for breakfast! No Costa Del Sol, but Costa Livin' Crisis instead. I lived in Alnwick for a while in the eighties, it was nice to see how much it has changed.

Ty for the great episode, you 2 are made for each other

Love to see a woman drink Guinness 😊 you two have a right laugh

Loved it thank you both for making people's lives happy watching great and funny vidios

Another fantastic video from my favourite couple - thanks a million !

I'm impressed that you bought Helen a pan that matches her dress.

Banging video till the end keep the rants in there. 😂

Had to laugh😂😂😂 We have a cockapoo who has a Barbour jacket but we aren’t rich! We do love to find a pub that lets our Poppy in but if she was barking in the pub we would have taken her out. Love your videos. Can’t have too many dogs. I think many people got dogs during covid. We got a cockapoo as we are allergic to dogs and poodle mixes are not so bad.

Brilliant video your right on my wavelength! Great couple thanks for sharing ❤

Brilliant - I love your genuine-ness and honesty. A breath of fresh air.

Defo the best vanlife channel out there. I love it. Don’t stop and don’t start that sponsorship rubbish. Very natural.. love the humour. 😊

So happy to see you in a charity shop. Some great bargains to be had!

She likes her ale, that lass of yours. Best get her wed!

Hilarious, great Victor meldrew attitude and Helen laughing it off. Brilliant content.
