As someone who has been struggling with stress due to overworking myself, and generally I am not scared to say working for a corporation place has showed me a few things that I can and need to change. But watching and finding your videos has truly helped me find my old self and the adventurous spirit that was hiding in be all along. Thank you so much and wishing you the best :)
Thank you for sharing that. I’m so glad you’ve found your inspiration again!! Adventures are definitely therapy. Maybe we’ll see you on the road. Happy Travels!
Love your video - I recently lost my husband and am building up confidence to take our California Beach away alone - Thank you so much - I also have a 3 year old Labrador called Bella ❤️
I am a solo female camper for the past 4 years. Love my california ocean and uk sites. Miss having a dog as it is put on hold due to work commitments ❤. Enjoyed you paddle boarding video..🌺🌸
Everyone deserves adventures with their Pupper. Cool video! Bentley is a happy Doggie.
He needed a holiday!! 😂❤️
I love going away by myself, my hubby gets jealous that I can while he works. The joys of working part time. He has even bought me a travel companion a cocker spaniel. My van is my happy place. Therapy for refreshing myself to face normal life and the demands.
It really is therapy. Perfection!
Yeah nice van that is your California enjoy your little holiday on your own that’s good
I bought a van just to take my dog out and about. I can’t wait until it’s fully done so we can go for adventures
Good for the soul and often as rejuvenating as a much longer break, glad you enjoyed x
Enjoyable vlog and looking forward to seeing your next one now!☺️👍
Great video..I stopped Andark Lake last year, absolutely love the place.
Thanks Lizzie you’ve given me confidence to try going solo. We're looking for new chairs which one did you have ?
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Thx for sharing your relaxing moments with us. Recover soon! All the best from Germany!
Thanks for watching!!
@@ABusAndBeyond are you still learning German?
Ja!
@@ABusAndBeyond sehr gut. Wenn ihr mal einen Sprachurlaub in Köln machen wollt…lasst es mich wissen. 😄
Thinking of getting a marco polo after your review. Lovely.xx
Lovely! Looks a great spot and I think one of us plus dog will try it soon. Thank you.
A +1 for Readly from us. We have used for years and saved us a fortune on magazine costs.
It is a great app to have!
Love walking byself, great video, dogs girl best friend, I really need a dog in my life going to get a staffy next.
Love the calming music brilliant (not keen on fast noisy stuff) well done x
We sometimes go to site less than half hour away just for the break
So lovely to meet and chat with you the other day Lizzie. Hope Shaun liked your tattoo! We had a successful prom dress shopping trip, thankfully. 😊
Lovely to meet you too!! Glad you had a successful time dress shopping! Hopefully see you on the road again sometime!
Ooh the sound of that metal spoon on the Ridge Monkey went through me. Please use plastic or wooden or you’ll ruin the surface. I’ll try that recipe, thanks
Lovely video thanks ! Stayed in Bursledon earlier in year (not in the van though) and had forgotten how lovely the Hamble is (and particularly the Jolly Sailor). Been married over 30 years but love camping on my own, so relaxing deciding everything as you go along ....two weeks in Devon in September coming up 😎
Lovely relaxing video. Im planning an escape with my old girl Bella soon. Was a little apprehensive but as you say i don’t have to go that far on my first solo trip. Thanks for the inspiration. Sue.
Absolutely not! Sometimes it’s just about being away from home! 😊
Its just taking a break to reset your inner self. Enjoy.
Top vlog Lizzy
You did a great job. Well done.xxxx
Solo camping...good for the soul, and the location looked great......hope you had a good night. We may check out the location for a future trip👍
Lots of nice pubs nearby too! It’s a good area. I’d especially recommend The Talisman which is 5mins up the road (by van)
Or the Jolly Sailor which is about 15mins walking distance.
@@ABusAndBeyond Thanks for the tips! When pubs are involved walking distance is always the preferred option!!
You can’t go wrong with The Jolly Sailor then! It’s a great place!
If Bentley likes barking at fishes, take him to Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne! We were there a couple of weeks ago and the harbour was teeming with decent sized fish.....
Thanks for a lovely video.
Haha that’d be funny to see his reaction to!
Fantastic time away with the pup. Really interested in the ‘fairy’ lights - what make are they, power source and where’d you get them?
Thanks for sharing. Our van is on order and we live just down the road in Fareham and I never knew this was here! I've passed Andark many times but this looks like a real gem so will be a trial stop for us once the van comes. Is there a coffee shop/cafe there?
Yes there is! It wasn’t open while I was there but it’s right by the little lake so perfect for a nice relaxing cuppa!
Great vlog, lovely to see you a Bentley having some chill time together. Gonna try the mac&Cheese😋
Thank you! Let me know how it goes! 😊
Great blog Lizzie, question; what size/type dometic fridge do you guys have and does it fit under the shelf in the back too?
It’s a CFX 35 I think. Yes it does fit under the rear shelf (of the Beach at least, I think an Ocean may be a bit lower)
Just checked - it’s a CFX3 35 👍
Looking very chilled there. Can you please tell us where you got your camping chair from?
Hi! It’s from Bo-Camp and I think it’s called the Urban? Where we bought it from seems to no longer have it.
Hey Lizzy, can you tell us what the chair is that you used in the video? it looks like the fold up mechanism of a dometic outdoor go... Have you been sent another "prototype" - lol
Bo-Camp are they maker. I think it’s called Urban?? I can’t quite remember sorry! 🤦♀️
Top game , always thought Shaun was the camera/driver of ABAB. Nice change, more people should be comfortable alone...its a myth you need people!
It’s actually always been pretty mixed between us! We both edit & film. I don’t think anyone can even tell the difference between our vlogs! 😂
Thank you for watching!
Never on your own with a Retriever! Got 3 but no camper yet!
You’re especially not alone when there’s food involved 😂
Is your reg VLOG BUS? I like it.
It sure is!
You’d do better to get silicon utensils metal on non stick not a good idea
+1
I haven’t made Mac n Cheese without loading it up for years, not that there’s anything wrong with it solo. Mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, shallots. Maybe a little ham or chicken. Good stuff.
Hi what is a screen cover and pop top cover? Thanks.
They’re from Rainbow Screens.
💚
Lizzie .. you do realise that Shaun & Harvey will be book-ending the sofa , eating junk food & watching a crappy film .. in other words having a great time .. enjoy your me time .. lol
😂 sounds about right!
To many LONG adverts gave up
I Feel Harvey (The Son) Will Never Forgive You (The MuM) For Abandoning Him And Leaving Him Behind With Sean (The Dad) During This Trip. Now Harvey Will Grow-Up And Get His Revenge On You (The MuM) By Becoming A Politician Just Like PM Boris Johnson, Sloppy Hair And All. Cheers!!!
You're not solo camping if Bentley is with you .
*tries to find rulebook* 🤷♀️ nope, can’t find it!
This is called Glamping not Camping! By the way, the food looks disgusting!
