The power problem was human error as you will see in a future episode. Carol does a blog, not a vlog. It’s more up to date than the videos. If you want to be mailed the blog buy us a coffee for as little as £1 and you will be added to the list. It is not a recurring charge. 👍 Link is in the video description.
You two are the sweetest couple. Just came across your videos and they are excellent. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I am from South Carolina USA.
Talk about cozy and civilized! You sitting at a TABLE with your dinner!!! Standing UP and doing the washing up together! Love your fireplace ❤❤❤❤ It is SO wonderful! I wish I was there!!!! I adore the VAN!!!., Seeing you comfy and safe with the high winds blowing. This is just the way to camp! And a POTTY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Made a note of Fortunes, kippers looked lovely, when we did Yorkshire last year stayed at Pately Bridge, lovely campsite, nice walk into town, with a lovely pie shop , and some reet Yorkshire shops and pubs
Ken, get yourself a photon micro light. Only 5 lumens run off a CR 2023 or 2 CR 2016 batteries. Last 12 to 14 hours, weights 7 grams, and cost about £10. Clip it to your jacket. It's the Swiss army knife of light.
And you made it back up the stairs without too much trouble, especially as some of it was quite well lit. You look so cosy and comfortable in your van.
Love your new van it looks very comfortable, when we pack food in our freezer we take food out of the boxes and put it in plastic bags if necessary. We’ve never parked in that car park but use the park and ride it is within walking distance to Broadings Farm campsite, love that area of the North East 👋👋👋
Good luck with the diet ken. I have managed to lose 3.5 stone over the last few months. Feel much better for it. I love bread too but have converted to warburtons danish. Tasty and only 55 calories a slice so you can have two slices of that for the same calories as one regular slice 😀
We have a permanent curtain where you put the black temporary curtain. When closed it also keeps the heat in, in the summer time and the cold in during winter in the cabin. Makes a big difference with temperatures in the living space. The overhead cabin space is also closed, cupboard with door, but even a curtain would make a difference because a lot of heat gets trapped in this area. Thanks again for sharing your experience. Really enjoy how comfy your van is ☺.
We would need to modify the front cab area a little to use it. Our lithium system is up the front and I want the heat to be able to get to it when it’s really cold. Time will tell. So far temperatures have been fairly mild.
Lovely to see you just enjoying the van- Snoopy! Homely relaxing video- a tonic at the end of a long hard week. That sausage… made me laugh! See you next time!
Loved the intro with the comedic clips. Impressive how you continue to improve your story telling and editing skills…👍 Quote of the week- Carol: “Get your kit off”… 😂 Also very brave to cook kippers inside your lovely new campervan - but they did look delicious 😋
Hi Ken & Carole, you getting into the stand up campervan dance 😜 talking about on the beat, heating vents, best cuppers and in Oldham, pork pies and chips , I loved walking the beat, driving Pandas not so much, became reactive Policing with little initiative needed or wanted 🙀
I agree walking a beat was very enjoyable. Good tea stops, people who were pleased to see you. I had the seafront beat at Brighton for a while. Vicious in winter but my oh my it was amazing in the Summer. 😁👍
OMG..... Kippers......... just gotta love kippers......... I am in adelaide south australia........... and we can get kippers.... but not as nice as the english ones........ in fact we going to get some tomorrow to have on easter sunday for breakfast....
Carol, I thought you were going to say the run away sausage was found in Ken's shoe. 🤣 Ken, those kippers looked wonderful, I could almost smell them. 👍🐸
I just love seeing you two in your lovely, spacious van. While Little Red was cute, it was pretty tight for 2 adults, especially when the pop top was down. Now that you've got some stormy weather, what an upgrade not to be stuck in a low van. Being able to fully stand and walk around, well, what a difference! It makes touring in a van so much more of a haven. Very homey. I continue to feel so happy for you...!
Have you thought about lap trays ( the weighted ones like beanbags underneath) for putting your plate on when you don’t want the table. We always use those when we go camping
Around 50% after three days and two nights stationary doesn’t sound that bad to us. About what we’d expect from our set up we reckon. Sansend is good for fossils if you’re ever back there again. We do hope you still ate the elusive sausage…camping food tastes so much better with a bit of added crud lol. Take care x
This might have been our favourite video yet (and we have watched every single one) made us laugh lots, our tummy rumble and watching you both thriving in the new van warmed our hearts ❤ absolutely love you guys. Thank you x
I am certainly enjoying your very comfortable motor home, congratulations on your choice!!! glad you made it home, uphill and in the dark the other night...not to mention the lost sausage!!! great fun all the time.... keep safe...
You make it look so inviting and cozy especially when it’s cold or chilly outside. I would have walked up to the sawmill! But as the saying goes, “to each his own….” 😊 Mary
You're both so cozy in Snoopy wherever you camp, it's wonderful. Try going to Northumbria for Craster kippers 😀 The Yorkshire coast looks amazing, can't wait to explore. Thanks again, Carol, Ken and Snoopy ❤️😀🚐🌼 xxx
Ooooh I LOVE the Jaffa Cake donut thingies!!! Delish! Neil was away with work this week so I took the opportunity to have cheeky kippers for tea! I love them, Neil detests them!!! Next time you're in the Whitby neck of the woods, try Sleights Fish and Chips restaurant. Yum!!
As an ex copper like you Ken, whilst on the beat in the early 1980’s in south London, on cold night duties we used to go up onto the roof of Woolworths where the hot air vents were….. no crimes up there 😅😅
There were warm air vents at an office block in my first town. The warm air would come out of one vent for about 10 minutes and then switch to a different vent. I never worked out a pattern so you had to keep checking each one until you found it. Not allowed back to the nick in those days until end of shift 😁👍
Enjoyed that. We go to Sandsend every year staying at a cottage at the Valley which is owned by Mulgrave Estate. We also walk into Whitby on a regular basis. The Consort looks good.
Nice to see you settling into the new van, looks amazing. There are some very good rechargeable keyring torches available now, I have one that comes in useful all the time, is bright and has great battery life.
Watch parking in bays, some car park wardens will charge for overhanging into another space, so always try to get an outside parking space with rear overhang over grass 👍🏻👍🏻
Lovely video guys ,and yum those kippers looked fab. I think the reason you might be getting around slower is because your relaxing a bit more in the van as you have the space and comforts
I must admit those kippers looked the business Ken and Carol.Yummy!Don't forget your torches next time as falls at our age are not recommended.See you on the next one.
11:47 in, bet when Ken was a Coppa on the beat, he knew the name of every dog on his beat. Getting to be like that with my pizza deliv. Dogs stop barking. Some Cats rub against my leg. Which ticks of Shiffa, my Grey Tabby. Never had a kipper, don't seem to have'm down this way, but a bacon, cheese and egg or a sausage, cheese and egg sangas go down a treat. Thanks m8s. Snoopy seems to be handling you well. Stay vertical Eh!
Fortune's are the best. When you go to Sandsend again, do visit St Oswald's Church at Lythe: amazing Viking hogback tombs. The walk from Sandsend up the old railway to the Alum mines is really interesting with great views.
Hi from Ireland. Lovely new van, well wear and happy travels.. Fair play for being brave enough to cook kippers on board, there must be stink!! I know people who wouldnt boil an egg in the van..
Thanks for the video so nice to see a normal couple doing the things we do if you go further North try Craster kippers amazing plus the village is as so picturesque well worth a visit all that area is beautiful
Hello you two 🖐. I really think it's nice to have more space, especially if you are inside due to bad weather. Carol did you find anything in the souvenir shop, a new companion for your koala? The kippers looked delicious 😋
Carry on north guys & try some craster kippers from our amazing northumberland!!, were watching you from our little NV200 having a couple nights over the border up at Dunbar, keep the great content coming we really look forward to watching you both.
another lovely video, My sister lives in Sandsend so I know the area quite well, the Mulgrave estate walk is really nice, shame it was closed. and yes the kippers are great.
You've given this old Bear kipper Envy now. My wife wouldn't let me cook them at home never mind in the van. Theydid look extremely nice. Looked so good you could almost smell them. 🤣 Good to see you're enjoying the extra space, I reckon I could live in a van that size full time. Loving the idea of the "Vanlife" calisthenics. 😬🐻❄️
We did 5 weeks on it’s first trip and I have to say I could have just kept going. There was always a limit for me in Little Red but Carol could have kept going in that. I could never do it full time though. I like getting home as much as going away 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK I actually really enjoyed my solo trips away in the Duetto. Built for two but it was an absolute Palace for one. You've heard the song "The Gypsy Davey" no doubt. 😬 I don't think you'd get away with wild camping in the New Forest these days though. If you stop to make a brew they're on you before the kettle boils. 🙄
Love the name, Snoopy, it's sweet, endearing and I think once or twice searching for a park up will require some snooping around. Don't have kipper in Washington, but we do have golden smoked salmon...yummy.
Sister in law lives opposite co-op. Her husband passed away over xmas. It would have been his birthday St Patricks day, and their wedding anniversary. And my birthday. We parked in Abbey car park for his funeral.
Hi guys, we have been watching a lot of your videos and really enjoyed (I have a nissan 7 seater) any way must say you look very happy in your new van, with all that room keep up the good work cheers
Nice to see you doing some in Van keep fit :) I reckon it's a very snug and cosy feeling being in a camper with the wind and rain howling and lashing down, I love a good storm:) So much nicer now that you can stand up and walk inside the van it's a real home from home. What you could do with is a folding bike or two, then you could go off bike packing and do some "Proper" Wild Camping :)) I don't arf fancy some kippers now:)
Looks very nice camper van lots more room I can see whitby Abbey did climb 1.99 steps best fish and chips mags great weather ther kipper nice tasty great video
Great video loved joining you in Whitby and sandend is lovely be strong LUKE stick with the force. Lol well done great park ups. See you both again soon stay safe
Showing off now...six paces of floor space. Positively, palacecial ( cant spell that) Loved the indoor gym exercises. Seriously, our weather can drive us insane sometimes. Good to have a positive distraction 😊🐕🚙
Oh god no head torch ..lost sausage omg I love your wife she cracks me up…such a sweet pea…uncontrollable laughter !then open fire on computer I have lost it and inconsolable 😂 the chorizo and swim ! ok stop .. you need a comedy channel hilariously funny lost but appreciated pure talent
Haha at the soup, you’ll be doing yoga outside the van 🚐 soon, followed by a cold water swim 🏊♂️ 😊 Looked a lovely little place, G loves kippers, but I can’t do the smell. Well done on resisting the restaurant. Thanks, Em & G 💜
