  • Time to get out in the little red camper for a couple of nights winter wild camping. We are back in Sussex, staying local to us because of the unpredictable weather.
    Our first stop after brunch at Burger King is Bognor Regis to see the remains of part of the Mulberry Harbour destined for Normandy on D Day.
    We enjoy a stroll through Marine Park Gardens and a walk around the pier then it’s time for cake!
    As it gets dark we explain the “double move” manoeuvre for stealth camping.

    Ahoy Me Buckos! .) Haha, always the same mindset! So much fun! My little brother and I had Burger King as our spot back in the days, and after I became vegetarian he was upset that I can't enjoy it again with him. When BK came up with 2 veggie options (Rebel and Veg Burger) he was thrilled and took me there like a knight after a good old triumph! :D Feast, it was, bloody green feast! XD Lovely beach and town, the garden has most definitely seen better days. My eyes began to thirst for Carol's cake! XD Keep going my dear folks, I'm catching up! :) bear hugs from your Captain of the good old Blackthorne

    Hi Ken and Carol. We love your adventures especially the Sussex ones as this is our area. We have only just found this out that not all carbon monoxide detectors are suitable for motorhomes and caravans. The ones that are suitable are EN50291-2:2010. It's the 2 that donates they are for mobile homes and leisure vehicles. Hope this helps as we had the wrong one fitted in our campervan.

    I didn’t know you can say „giving up the ghost“ in English as well 😄🤓
    In an older video you mentioned you might want to visit some other European countries with your van.
    I was wondering how it will be driving on the wrong side with a right steering car?
    In the summer I might get a chance to use a similar van from a family member. I would love to go to Scotland with it. But it’s a German car, so it’s left steering. Do you think it will work? I’m not so much worried about driving on the left. Only about the visibility etc.

    Lovely again guys. Pleased you mentioned the editing. I was going to ask, what do you use to store all your video clips on? Thinking Scotland and all the footage we're likely to have(always tKe too much lol). We went on a trip once to the Normandy beaches and saw the huge Mulberry harbour blocks on Gold Beach at Arromanche, unbelievable! Couldn't get my head around how they could possibly float and yes Ken, when's the sexy calendar coming out lol. 😏🚙

    • @LifeistooshortCK
      @LifeistooshortCK  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We use several SD hard drives to transfer video from memory cards and I have several memory cards as well so when one is full it gets stored and a fresh one is used to continue. This gives me 2 backups. An SD drive has no moving parts so they are more robust than a normal hard drive. As you use your phone you would need to ensure the drive works with it. The secret is to understand the shots you need to tell the story and only shoot with intent - I.e. things that are interesting. Most people shoot everything but that creates a lot of work when it comes to doing the edit. You can practice film making in your head you know. Pick any attraction near to where you live and imagine the video playing that you would make. It helps to start the mind thinking in clips that actually support the story. Once you have enough to tell the story you can stop shooting. The rule in video is if you mention it you must show it 😁👍. I can;t stand videos where people tell you all the things they have done and there is not a single shot to support the story 😁

I think that the person or persons who wrote the new Highway Code are obviously non drivers especially having to give way at dangerous places! On the suject of Sir Billy Butlin when we were in Jersey quite a few years ago we managed to find his grave it is quite impressive and worth visiting.

    Hi Carol and Ken . I’ve been trying to find your post from a while back where you had a tear in your pop top mesh . I remember Carol trying to stitch it but how did you get it resolved in the end ? I have a two year old Manhattan from Sussex Campervans . Sorry for the off topic question but I don’t know if you are on social media anywhere to be able to ask the question .

      Hi. We were contacted by Sussex Campervans who said there had been a fault with our particular type of mesh where it corroded due to sunlight. This resulted in a whole new tent being fitted and a plastic window instead of the mesh. To be honest we prefer the plastic. I recommend contacting them and seeing if yours has the same issue. 👍

    • @LifeistooshortCK
      @LifeistooshortCK  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That drive is called a Gnarbox. I have the SD version mark 2. It works well but to be honest is not worth the money. A better strategy is to buy more SD cards so you don’t have to wipe them to make space. I now copy mine to a bog standard SD drive and the backup is the SD card. Cheaper 👍

    What a wonderful place, I am going mad I did not know about it when I had a walking club down in Chichester, I would just drop them off in the morning someplace and had the rest of the day to myself. I went over to Worthing twice. I would have loved to vistt there. I love that piece of music when the drone was up. Just before the coffee shop and cake. I can't seem to find it. What is the name of it Ken?
    In Waterford there was a coal merchant used a ship made of Cement to bring coal from I think Wales years ago. I believe it was built to sink in German-controlled ports. Lovely video again as usual.

      Also if your near Chichester a24 head towards goodwood down the side of the maccys ds on the opposite side of the there's a van called 'The Pass'. This van is very very highly recommended and worth the visit. They do also have a shop in Chichester Town center just down from the ally directly opposite shake away. As we are on this food topic, in East Preston down near the beach is a cafe called grub and grumption this also an extremely good place to eat and definitely worth a visit.

    Carol - an excellent choice with the hot chocolate / carrot cake combination - I often go for that myself (most other, sweeter cakes, I prefer to pair with tea 😊). I’ve yet to come across a 2.06m height barrier as you showed towards the end - that would clear our Paradise Compact by a full 2cm 😳… Not sure I’d be brave enough (at least not on my own, without someone to get out and check 😂).

    I lived in Sussex for 38 years but sadly I never saw much of Bognor Regis and didn't know about the battered pontoon. Thanks for the tour around the parts I haven't seen. The new rules for pedestrians and cyclists and the ever spiralling costs of motoring has not happened by chance. The government wants to do as much as possible to encourage people to give their vehicles up, which will happen and won't be too long.

    From Australia. Many thanks for the video, and previous ones. Interesting to see how you fare with the restrictions on parking, very much like here particularly on the coast where councils etc tend to be very officious regarding overnight stays. And your battles with inclement weather, we've had an atrocious summer with disastrous flooding in many locations. Have made many trips to Britain over the years, have stayed in many places from run-down BnB's to very comfortable modern hotels, but never really roughed in the open. You handle it very well and your design of camper is excellent for the narrow roads, the larger ones would be a nightmare, especially in Cornwall which is hard enough to handle in a small car. Have never been to Bognor, but wasn't it the place referred to often by the one and only Albert Steptoe?
    Keep the videos going, doesn't matter one whit to me that you don't edit them and put them on youtube till sometime later.

      Hi David. We have heard about the flooding in Australia, you have had it bad this summer.
      We are certainly glad we only have a small camper on some of the roads we have been down and are happy to compromise on internal space for the freedom it gives us to go and stay anywhere a car can go.
      Didn’t know about the Albert Steptoe reference but used to watch the programme.
      Thanks for watching. Take care 🙂👍
