Frugal Friday - A Picnic and Stealth Camp at Stanage Edge, Hope Valley - UK Van Life

It was a beautiful evening on Friday and whilst we're both a bit skint we decided to get away in the van for a cheap little picnic and overnight stealth camp. I've stayed around this area quite a few times now in my tiny van, it is very peaceful and there are many stunning hikes nearby.

Well it is Tuesday morning in my little world. Just chucking down some more pain killers at 5.30am. Fell and broke my wrist on Sunday afternoon. Bruised and battered.🥺 Looking for something to cheer me up and there you were. 😊 You make me laugh. Loved the bit where you were waiting for Helen. My husband empathises with you. He's going to have to wait even longer now. LOL 😂

Great introduction to the video. Waiting waiting waiting ...

[@bythecurb]

Story of my life! 😂

[@helenreasbeck1348]

Love how lucky we are to have this beautiful scenery on our doorstep. We used to walk up to stanage edge via wyming brook nature reserve when I was little with my mum and dad. If we didn't feel that energetic going all the way to stanage point we used to walk to the three merry lads pub and then walk back down the car parked up at the bottom. We always took a towel so we could dip our feet in the water. Happy Memories, and ps I'm 56 and have to get up for a wee wee 😂

[@bythecurb]

We are very lucky, such happy memories ❤

[@one2-three4five6]

Hi James, I know what your talking about waiting. When I was going about with my wife, well when she was my girlfriend at the time, that's when I discovered what waiting was. I used to sing to her the KINKS (Rock band of the time) song So Tired, Tired of Waiting and nothing has changed since then but she was always worth waiting for.

[@bythecurb]

I know the song! 😂

[@markmcdonnell239]

Hey James &Helen,beautiful scenery in this video 🙏 next time do a £10 Super Frugal meal in your van for you & Helen.
Do you except the challenge 😂😂

[@bythecurb]

Good idea, thanks

[@paulfox5248]

Another cracking video James & Helen. We love your updates. My wife Caren thinks Helen is ace. They both have the same sense of humour, very down to earth & honest ❤. Don't forget to visit Knaresborough when you can. It's a lovely market town with some great pubs. Take care 👊

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Paul, I do like Knaresborough, will do a trip there sometime

[@colinblack7049]

Hi Helen and James, what a good Samaritan that guy was in the pub car park, I got caught like that in a carvery I hadn't been to for a while. The manager got the charge cancelled, but a lot of places are going the same way. Personally, I want to see more snogging, viewing outside snogging is acceptable, and Helen deserves it for sitting up that hill with the wind blowing on her legs. Take care guys ,looking forward to the next installment of the Helen and James show.

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Colin, don't be giving her any ideas!! 😂

[@steveanon3685]

Class you two .. 😢 funny as owt 😅

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Steve

[@Simon-fr4ts]

Another great video. I feel your pain waiting. My missus for some reason takes forever to get out of a car. I just open the door and get out. She takes minutes to get out. It drives me nuts. Is this something anyone else has experienced or am I just unlucky? She is small and slim, so not a health issue. She just seems to mess around with her bag and god knows what else.

[@binniesbags]

I take ages to get out of the car as I'm less than 5ft and the lip on the seat is bigger than me, haha

[@bythecurb]

It's definitely a woman thing, but we love em 🙂
