Hi everyone! I’m back with another travel vlog for you today!
I thought it would be fun to find the cheapest overnight city break I could out of London for a night. After some researching the cheapest I could find including travel and accommodation was the wonderful city of Bristol!
This video contains a review of travelling by Megabus from London Victoria - Bristol & what it’s like to stay in the YHA Hostel.
I loved exploring this vibrant city & will definitely be back. Hope you enjoy!

You have to be one of Britain's best ambassadors!! This time, you presented how much you can see and learn on a limited budget. I love how you can just step into the shoes of an average Joe and be comfortable, no matter where you go! Kudos!

Check out Hannah Ricketts, she does London twice a week. Posh and budget.

@audrey23vs 18 дней назад

about megabus-you even can have it free if you have tescocard and convert your vouchers to tikckets.I`m in Scotland,near Glasgow and had few journeys in past going from Glasgow to London overnight and me and my daughter had return tickets for free

@sootyginger4388 18 дней назад

Loved this and what a bargain. Need more city breaks in this country. 😊

Yes as long as it’s dry folks, or I am living through Mr C

@wendywilson858 18 дней назад

My son went to New York and stayed in a YMCA and he thought it was really good. He found being on his own he made friends easily. He also went to Croatia and did the same thing. He's in his 40s so not a teenager. Loved your vlog again. Xx

@eh6454 17 дней назад

My daughter has done the same. She highly recommends staying in hostels 😊

@janettesinclair6279 18 дней назад

@nataliethorpe394 18 дней назад

Great value trip, I like the idea of just jumping on a coach somewhere, to see something different. Lots to see there in Bristol it seems. Would be good to see some other affordable getaways. Thanks 👍

@MrCarrington 18 дней назад

It was so fun! Go for it 😀

@daleduerden1185 18 дней назад

Thankyou for a lovely look around Bristol ,so nice.

@isobelmcfadyen4625 16 дней назад

Coaches are great. I did glasgow to Birmingham with flixbus for £24 return. Was staying with a friend so no other costs!

@user-ik2km4wf5c 18 дней назад

Really enjoyed this felt I was walking there with you, what a lovely city. My husband and I used to love doing city breaks and had a weekend away every month when the kids had flown the nest, not so much now. Keep up the good work always enjoyable, thank you.

I lived in Bristol in the 60's as a child before moving to Weston-super-Mare. After leaving school I worked in the centre of Bristol at what is now a Holiday Inn, but was then the TV Licence Records Office. Even in those days (1979) the docks were still fully working as docks. I used to pass the SS Great Britain twice a day on the bus. In those days it was just starting its restoration journey. Have been back fairly recently, and will be going again in September where I shall be able to see Concorde.

Hi 👋 pretty lady how are you doing today and the weather condition like…

@nicolajayne1594 15 дней назад

A very nice video. You'd make an excellent travel presenter. I feel like I'm watching a modern version of Wish You Were Here. Glad you packed earplugs and eye mask. I always take some with me when I travel. The return tickets are so cheap. I do like the YHA chain. They're lovely and cosy, excellent value for money too. I am amazed at how cheap your night away was.

@marionford8298 18 дней назад

My daughter has just come home to Bham, after being in Bristol for 3 yrs at university. Lovely place. Love the bright coloured shops/houses. The graffiti art on buildings, and the quaint little shops.😊

@tinymouse.travel 18 дней назад

😮😮 That's almost back to the days Greyhound Buses did a £1 ticket from Portsmouth to London but that was 15 years ago. You got a great deal on the Megabus.

@lisasafiullah8774 18 дней назад

I remember National Express £1 trips. I did a few!😊

@gloriastroedecke2717 18 дней назад

This was great. I really enjoyed seeing that you can have a small getaway/ field trip inexpensively. I'd love to see a similar one of these in the Autumn.

@moirainstance2685 18 дней назад

I stayed in Bristol for 2 weeks last time I was back home it's lovely thank you for this x

❤❤❤Been to Bristol many times on school trips as I grew up in Swindon. Stayed in a lovely youth hostel when I was 17 in Cornwall.❤❤❤

@sheilahenderson5973 16 дней назад

I have stayed in a YHA hostel at The Eden Project. In the family option you get a double bed and two bunks plus on suit shower room. One of the best places I've ever stayed. Thanks for this video; I love all your travel vlogs 👍

@Bellabambina123 16 дней назад

Nice to see some of my old haunts! I grew up near Bristol and lived there for several years but moved away nearly a decade ago now.

@dianeprice5798 14 дней назад

Evening Mr Carrington, really enjoyed your travel vlog around Bristol, wow that was a cheap and great price. Looks really lovely around, thanks for sharing,👍

@cliffhorman6846 18 дней назад

This was excellent Mr. C! I cant believe the price! I think many will take advantage of it.

@carrieabbott186 18 дней назад

I really enjoyed this vlog. You really gave a great overview of this trip. You gave all info if someone wanted to do this journey . Thank you❤

@absolutelyamanda2942 15 дней назад

So strange watching this after the awful news over the last few days. But we love you kid and again its another great vid xx

@Kari_B61ex 18 дней назад

Bristol is good choice Mr C. Lots to see and do. I live in Exeter and have family who live in Bristol. I visit often and love it. They also do the same thing with me in Exeter. We haven't got a big suspension bridge over the Exe, but we do have a little walking bridge...locally we call it the wobbly bridge as legs really do feel wobbly. 😅

@lully381 17 дней назад

Hi There Iwan! that was an interesting insight into hostels! and a great price, if you just want a cheap night away traveling across the UK it's brilliant and great experince, especially if you are young. Not sure my cup of tea at 65 but interesting to see what is avaialable out there, and would have been okay in my youth I daresay. You learn something new every day watching your Vlogs! thank you x

@lisasafiullah8774 18 дней назад

Amazing price. I love Bristol, it's feels creative, open minded and vibrant. The street art is a good free option too😊 we went to Stokes Croft which is an interesting place with a bohemian vibe lots of interesting eateries, community bakery etc. Thanks really enjoyed this x

@suzanneharper4877 18 дней назад

The SS Great Britain is really interesting to look around.. My nephew lives in Bristol.. It’s like a smaller London. Lots of live bands in the evening. We’ve been to the Theatre a few times too..I need to go visit Mshed next time I go.. Very informative video.. Hope you, your partner & friends had a great time.. thank you..😊❤

@christinabrooks5991 18 дней назад

Mr C, what a cheerful vlog and what a bargain. Nobody can complain that all of your holidays are expensive. Bristol, haven't been there since I visited the BBC for my interview, the start of a life time career......it's changed fabulous 😍

@hilaryb1008 8 дней назад

I’m glad you enjoyed visiting my home town. Having been down there, I can confirm that the giant’s cave must have been used by the smallest giant ever lol

Happy Wednesday Mr C! Wow!! I can't get over the price. You're so good at booking these getaways. Handy to have a partner and friends willing to take the leap with you 😃oh and I noticed the 🇨🇦 on the ship in the harbour 🥰

@catherineclark2949 18 дней назад

Love your travel vlogs, great trip to Bristol. Definitely couldn't walk across the Suspension Bridge lol. Plenty to see and do well worth a visit xx

@janeoxley4829 18 дней назад

Great video Mr Carrington. You would not catch me walking across that suspension bridge ahhhhh.

@karonfrench1012 17 дней назад

Very informative Mr lovely teeth. I think someone will be wanting you to go on a travel show. So professional. That stint on the TV has been a huge asset 👍🥰

@flohough1870 18 дней назад

Looks like a fun little break. We used Megabus about 12 years ago to go to New York City (6 hours away) and it was great, the price was way cheaper than what it would have cost us to pay tolls and try and park. The only part we didn't like was where we had to catch the bus out of NYC, it was in the early days and they really hadn't come up with a great system just yet.

@MrCarrington 18 дней назад

That sounds brilliant! I had some interesting experiences in the early days too 😅 I think they have improved a lot!

@jenjenkins2936 17 дней назад

Brilliant advice for travellers yet again and really inspiring 😊

@beverlyramage 7 дней назад

Hi Mr Carrington, How are you keeping? I hope that you are well and enjoying your summer. I have been watching your blogs for a few years now and never popped bye to say hallo. Please excuse my manners lol. I love your blogs they are so professional and it comes to you with ease. Please keep up the good work. Take care and if ok will pop on and say hi again soon. xx

@shirleymclean5895 17 дней назад

Thought this was BRILLIANT! Perfect solution to a budget holiday without the budget! The bus is great value, the hostel fine ( if you had a family or friends with you! ) Lovely Bristol! Who knew! Nice work Mr.Carrington! 👍

@fireflies8841 18 дней назад

Nice blog, thanks👍 Bristol is a great place to visit. I took my students to the same hostel in 2018 and we had a good time. The suspension bridge is really majestic with stunning views.

@philash824 18 дней назад

10:53 if you kept going up, on the downs above the suspension bridge is the camera obscura and a passageway that brings you onto a platform on the side of the Avon gorge. Never mind you found it 😂

@bec.11 18 дней назад

Great vlog, thanks for the tips 😊🇦🇺👋

@kkatmom 18 дней назад

Such a lovely vlog Iwan. I’ve used Mega bus here in the states when traveling to visit my family. This was when my knee was so bad, prior to knee replacement. I just couldn’t do the drive. So it was convenient and inexpensive to visit my family. It’s about a six hour drive. Most times I paid under $4- usually $2. If I reserved a seat an extra $1. The buses weren’t always the most comfortable, however, I would say for the money I didn’t mind! I really enjoyed this format of doing inexpensive local trips. Well done! Enjoy your Wednesday Donna

@juliemorrison7477 17 дней назад

What a great vlog n good idea visiting different parts of the country on a budget. Come to Newcastle/Gateshead sometime, (although it’s quite a way from London) we do have beautiful beaches and countryside in Northumberland

When we had our extension built they had to dig down over ten feet as this land was once marsh lands owned by Lady Henderson. Lo and behold all that way down was a Anson Shelter from the last World War! All that way down! We left it where is lay.
