Back in time sheep were been killed and cattle slaughtered .And it was claimed werewolves were at large,And its obvious it was not dogs doing it as the government sent in the royal marines.After that the government as usual said nothing.
Hi guys I did have quick chat to you about your dog had no idea you was filming at Compton Park if I knew you was I could have filled you in and some information about the area, and you did park at one of the steepest hills at kithill, hopefully you will return soon.
I’ve lived in Cornwall all my life and seen an increase in van life, many locals choose to live on the road because of the freedom and cost, we welcome anyone else who chooses this lifestyle. There are many beautiful spots in Cornwall to set up camp from around the North coast to the lizard
Only watched about 40 seconds so far and had to stop to say how good the opening sequence shot with the gorse in ultra sharp focus with Louise walking behind is. The filming of these videos goes from strength to strength.
I have watched several of your videos, skipping back and forth from newer to older videos, and you Ladies fill my heart with warmth. Stay safe. LOVE your travels.
what a very beautiful video from two very beautiful people. i was born in kingston london, lived in hounslow and basildon and went to cornwall often and stayed at penzance, st ives and st just, fave spot sennen cove and in 2001 it was either new zealand or cornwall and i came to nz. i miss the uk very much but am thankful for videos like this. emily's 2 minute tour had me cracked up especially the toilet tour ! i have only just found your channel and have faved this and subbed and have been living in a 2010 bailey pageant monarch caravan for nearly 1 year saving for a mortgage with my little companion dog buddy but you've both enhanced my sunday very much. blessings in abundance to you both 💞
OMG not even 10 mins in to this vid blown away by Lou making herself the ‘A’ in Cornwall, I even made my man rewind it as he hadn’t noticed. It’s the attention to detail 👌🏻. Thank you for yet another fabulous vid - I don’t need to get to the end to know it’s fabulous. We love you two (& the 🐾🐾) xx Amy Paul & Ted 🐾
I’m from london and I remember watching videos like this and wishing i could live here , now for 9 months I live in cornwall and I wake up every morning feeling so blessed
For the taps where you need to hold the button to dispense the water, look in to getting a quick grip clamp - will keep the button pushed in, leaving you free to carry on with something else! 👍
Here in the State's I've overheard some van lifers say some pretty insulting things about the little town I love. Some of them are like the rude hiker that stomps all over the meadow of flowers to get the shot of the sun setting, stomp all over everything getting back to their van, make some rude comment as the get gas and food, then leave. Not surprising some of us locals aren't fans.
I love Cornwall, everything about it, even the narrow roads, but most of all l love Fowey, beautiful. I bought a huge piece of slate back in the 70's with Cornish Schooner of Fowey etched on it. Its now, probably, the oldest headboard in the world. Take care and be safe xx
Cornwall looks amazing. So glad you got to return to an area you know and love. Hope everything else is going well. Loved the coast shots. Just gorgeous.
You mirrored my teen life in my early 60s now, but when i was 17 i left home on my tiny island and moved to Newquay with my mate ,had 3 jobs there made pasties in the morning ,walked the beaches selling surf beads in the afternoon ,and in the evening worked in the Newquay Arms collecting glasses etc ,best time of my life stayed for 3 years
Love Tintagel girls, went there last year. If the council added an elsan point in one of the car parks I would stay all summer. Great video brought back all the good memories. 👍 🥰
Thank you for a beautiful video me and my partner retired down Devon 4 years ago and we absolutely love it here . It’s definitely a slower pace of life , I’ve only been following you for a few weeks and love you both your banter is just fantastic 😊
Seeing a big thrust in edit and production effort on this one. Loved your videos before but cant help thinking your on a next level "We have a lot more to offer" mission right now. Dont often comment but 100% appreciation to your channel.
It's gorgeous out there in Tintagel - thanks so much for taking us along. I'm glad you gals spent some quality down time during the holiday also instead of all the constant work of filming. Take care now! :)
Super video. I was in Cornwall in the fall of 1978, pregnant with my daughter. Highlights: your patter; insider’s perspective of area; gorgeous footage of coast; best ukulele song I’ve heard; Emily’s two minute tour; Lou’s food grabbing silliness and that delicious looking pastie; learning more about your backstory. I look forward to more. AJ is beautiful and summer is a good cat. See you next time.
Gorgeous part of the world. Go most years. Was in Tintagel last year and Bude. . Mind you, we go everywhere lol. Also did Newquay, marazion, st Ives etc. Fab video you two.
Emily is like a puppy with food aggression, best get your own chips next time! Cornwall is beautiful and you had perfect weather. Thanks for taking us on such a lovely tour😀
Hi Emily and lou Lovell part of the world we go too st asaphs as well, though its a bit touristy now ( something us tourists don't like) 🤣🤣 lovely vlog though and some stunning pictures well done ❤️❤️👍 keep safe and well , enjoy your break 😀 👍
You can even charge your household batteries with that powerstation If you want to. Just plug the van in like you’d do with wall power. Now you can park in the shade And charge the van from the flexible Solar panel through the power station.
Love the video. I am currently cycling from Azerbaijan back to the UK. I just wanted to share that travelling and working from my IPad is so freeing physically and mentally. I think the last two years have shown us that we need to live our lives our own way and that anyone can do anything if you want to. When I eventually get back to the Uk I am certainly going to buy myself a van.
Great video 👍🏻. The extra bits like animated maps and overlay text are so professional looking, it’s amazing you’re doing this from a camper van too! Have fun, looking forward to the next episode 😁
Love my Jackery 1000 and I've not even taken off yet! Can't wait to test it in the "field"! Tintagel magic. Was last there before the large bridge. Got there on a bicycle
Hellooo!! Been binge watching your travels and your exciting times of buying a new home in Ireland. Really loving the adventure both of the van life and now the upcoming new home adventure on the motherland. Best of luck and look forward to next instalment!!
Another cracking video. All the more so because it brought back some memories. I was born in Looe, Cornwall and brought up in Launceston, on the Cornish and Devon border between Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. My Cornish connections date back to at least the 17th Century, absolutely love the place, its history and folk lore, and have explored it extensively. Regrettably life, education and work drew me and my family away in my late teens but I have returned whenever I can. (Less so now as I live in Spain.) It's not the place I remember any more, over developed in places, turning into a playground for the rich, a place I can't afford to live, but some of its charm remains: Bude, for instance, a paradise when I was a child and still attractive. N.B. Don't take this the wrong way, but regarding Tintagel and the alleged connections with King Arthur and Merlin, which once inspired me and is still promoted by English Heritage for commercial reasons: nice idea but the link at best is highly tenuous, pretty much nonsense I'd say. But Archaeological research over the years has, nonetheless, revealed the Castle across the exhorbitantly priced bridge has an interesting history, Medieval and maybe Romanic. (The Castle is owned, btw, by The Duchy of Cornwall so I'm sure Charles appreciates your possible contribution to his and Camilla's gin account.)
Love your variety of content. I think this was one of my favorite. As an expat who vacationed in Cornwall in 1960's I appreciated where you were. Map was appreciated. The campsite was amazing for £22. I can imagine it getting crazy in summer. I was glad to see the real Cornish pasties. Thank you for bringing back great memories. Great movie set up.
Beautiful part of the world. Have some lovely memories with my then bf who had to rescue me from the side of the walk back as I totally froze!!!! He still married me even with my fear of heights lol Ure videos really cheer me up. I generally don't bother commenting as it's the Internet and u never know but I felt I needed to show u some love! Thank u. 😊
Hello fellow travelers. We are from Alaska and recently shipped our camper to Europe, at this time we are in Spain and catching a ferry to Plymouth in a couple weeks. That has led us to discovering your channel (great editing btw). We don’t really have an itinerary, but it would be great to meet up with fellow creators this summer.
Hi, I live in Devon and highly recommend, when you get to Plymouth, drive straight through it (it's a bit of a dump) and head for Dartmoor. There are a lot of amazing places to see on Dartmoor but they have recently imposed a new 'no overnight stays in motorised vehicles' rule. I still see vans out at night when i'm there trail running at dawn or wild camping (which IS the only place in England where wild camping is legal) so i'm not sure its strictly enforced. Anyway, enjoy your visit when you come over from Spain.
Hi ya, that is pretty awesome, there are a few meet ups this year and events going on if you have face book you can check some out. We are heading over to greater Europe end of this month for the summer to explore, keep an eye out and if we are around the same area would be great to swap stories 😀
Make sure you see the Dart valley but (in my opinion) the Teign Valley on the East side of Dartmoor is far more beautiful. If you plan to go paddling wear board shoes. Granite erodes slowly but the surface goes like ultra sharp glasspaper.
By pressing the watter button at 4:37 - Use a strong stripe around to hold it. But check all the time, until the water tank is full, to remove the stripe. Some use a water counter mounted in the water tube. Where you can see, how much water filled.
Cornwall is such a good place for so many reasons. Been a few times and quite fancy visiting the castle but not at £24 to cross a bridge. Just unaffordable for a family. Great to see AJ and Summer in the video.
Join English Heritage it works out so much cheaper on a family membership and you can go to so many places including Tintagel Castle, Stonehenge etc as many times as you like and you just show your membership cards. No fee on entry as a member 🌹
So good to hear we made you welcome 😊 I can see Kit Hill from my house. The coast path is a huge fav of mine, I'm hoping to hike a marathon along it in September...not quite up to running it 🥵 Did you manage to squeeze in a cream tea? Jam first 😉
Yep, definitely jam first! I like to spread the jam all over the scone and dollop heaps of cream on top. If you put cream first, I reckon you'd have to skimp! 😄😄
They are only jealous of what they perceive you have and they HAVE NOT. I lived in a converted bbc sound truck, ( for about 15 years ), before van living was fashionable, then lived on a narrow boat for about 20 years and now live very happily in a static mobile home.
So brilliant to see you so happy in my home village, as you say, one of the best vanlife places in the U.K. Great footage as always and it was great to recognise all the places. The bridge shouldn’t be that expensive as it was completely paid for by a donation from, I think, the tetrapak people, so that’s naughty, but the coast is free and gorgeous! Thanks for your lovely video again.
We were there just a few weeks ago ( end February) and it was £18.00. Prices been hiked up for Easter holidays. Shame on you National Trust..these places just don’t get it. If they brought prices down more people would go and instead of NOT getting £72.00 (4 of us) they could’ve made £20
@@amandaoscroft7753 tintagel is an english heritage site, we used to be members and went often before the bridge was built, love it there. Now National Trust members just for the free parking since they own most the car parks in Cornwall.
Love Tintagel, glad to see it hasn't changed much since we went a few years ago. We got the land rover back up the hill. So worth the money! We joined English heritage and I think it was included. Love the adventures around Cornwall. We explore the South Coast around Falmouth as our daughter has moved there for Uni. The lizard is a bit far but totally worth the journey.
Lived in England for a year, in a town called Glossup - close to Manchester - while my father was on a Sabbatical leave to study at University of Manchester. I was 8 years old. This was in 1960. I remember taking hikes in the surrounding Pennine hills with my family, in places like I see you two hiking around 27:40. Brings back memories, now being 70 years old. Cheers!
Thanks again for a wonderful video....I just love the dynamics between Lou and Emily and the content is engaging and just takes me out of the mundaneness of every day life. That's rounded off my weekend on a real positive note..... thanks again.....ps I liked the back story,, it was nice to know of your life before TH-cam
One of your best vlogs……great cinematography, great humour and the location was absolutely beautiful….never been to Cornwall but will defo give it a go 👍🏽😎
You beautiful people living the wonderful life in England's most glorious land, Cornwall. I love the place & my first visit was to polzeath for my honeymoon, surfing & camping 👍 love the little insight into your past & how you met & fell in love❤️ Enjoy each day as tomorrow is never promised xx
Great video,well done .Living 15 miles away from the location i thought you represented it well .Emily is right , the cliff path is best avoided in the dark & you'd be surprised how many walkers dont & need rescue ,also before you go down make sure you can get back up again even if there are steps , be vigilant after heavy rain for land slip. Nice to see you kept your dog on a lead, sadly we loose (2 this week alone) lots every year because the owners let the dogs off the lead & the dog obviously doesn't realize when running around if it's a 3ft ,30ft or 300ft drop waiting around the corner so a shout out for all the responsible owners of dogs & a plea to all owners to please keep your dog on a lead on the cliff path & enjoy the stunning scenery & fantastic sunsets in safety. The jackery looks a awesome but of kit,thanks for the code I'll make use of it for the vw dub. Looking forward to the next video 👍
Oh that is horrible I would hate it if AJ went off the edge, Lou thinks I am over cautious at times but I don’t think you can be when it comes to your fur babies for sure And our pleasure for the code 😁
Hello ladies. I just wanted to say that a couple of weeks ago I was preparing to go down to Cornwall for a week. I had accommodation for most of the week, but for the first night I needed somewhere to stay over in the van. I didn't know where I could stay last minute and so was umming and errring about what to do. Whilst I was packing up the van (at 7pm at night), this video came on. All of a sudden I had my answer of where I could stay that night.....Tintagel!! So I left home (Hampshire) at 8pm that night and made my way down to Tintagel. It was such a good place to stay and so easy, which was good when arriving at midnight. I am so pleased this video happened to come on whilst I was packing up. Thank you for making it!! :)
How much to walk across the bridge!! I did the steps back in 2006, got some lovely photos; I wouldn't have paid that much to walk the bridge. Glad you got some cracking weather, it was gorgeous on Exmoor over Easter too (for a change!).
Hello.. This is your way of life. Rake no notice of what others think or say. Enjoy your stay where ever you are. Cornwall is a beautiful county and is well worth the visit and touring there is great fun.. Regards Mick.. X
Cornwall,looks fantastic. I was a kid last time I was there. I might head down there with the family later in the year, when the peak season is passed, thanks to your video. 👍👍👍
Incredible video, loved every minute. The work you must put into the editing Lou, it's so polished and such a good story. Cornwall looks amazing, but if you like that, you'd love the West coast of Scotland - you'll have to do that one day! Loved the old photos, Emily was (and still is) an absolute stunner!
That's so fascinating and endearing that you both had a life in Cornwall ten years ago, who knew! Summer was just a lit lun awww, your life is so awesome you're such a beautiful couple!
I’m so happy to see your subscriber numbers continuing to rapidly increase. Your channel has everything a good channel should - great humour, stunning photography (Louise, you’re amazing), knowledge and interest (even fun facts with a posh voice 😉), adventure in wonderful places, but also realism. Well done and definitely well deserved. One tiny thing, I prefer Emily with a fringe as it frames her beautiful eyes. 😊 (NB I’m an old female heterosexual and not a stalker!)
Great vlog ladies. We're back to Devon and Cornwall in September again. We loved it last year. We stayed in between tintagel and boscastle at the c&c site. Site was a little tired but the last couple of pitches up on the cliff top were awesome. Really enjoyed the content this week. Thanks
Love all of your content. Just spent our first week in the van with 2 kids in north Devon (woolacombe area). Incredible lifestyle I imagine. Enjoy your travels 👌
I just found your channel the other day and have been binge-watching ever since. I love your content; the wildlife photography, the bickering and Emily's 2 minute tours. I'm a bit older and not as mobile as I used to be, 30 years ago I'd have loved to do what you're doing, but thanks for your generosity in allowing me to adventure vicariously. I have to say though that it makes me sad, and a bit angry, at how much the spurious King Arthur connection is milked for as much tourist cash as possible. As you pointed out, Tintagel only goes back to the 12th century (and Glastonbury to the 10th, so equally bogus and cash grabbing). The fact is that there were 2 famous King Arthurs in British history, well documented in both British and several European sources. One was the son of Macsen Wledig (Romanised to Magnus Maximus) from Warwickshire, who fought both Saxons and Romans, in the 4th century. His successor, 6 generations later in the 6th century, was also called Arthur, ap Meurig ap Tewdric, King of Glamorgan and Gwent and he fought the Saxons. At that time, Britain spoke Welsh and included Brittany, Normandy, Cornwall, Wales and extended as far North as Strathclyde. This is disputed, naturally, as being politically inconvenient, but the version of history taught and promoted today only came about to suppress British Nationalism during the period of the Jacobite Uprising, French Revolution and American War of Independence. Since we had a recently appointed and deeply unpopular German Royal family, it was felt that playing up all things Roman and Saxon, and discrediting British history - introducing the term Celtic, for example - was the safest option, and so successful was this effort it is still taught, believed and vociferously defended to this day.
Enjoyed seeing the old photos. The years of van builds and snacks have really taken their toll🤣 Well done Tintagel for the park up. Might be a good idea if people who use it email the council and let them know it is appreciated by decent van lifers. It might help cancel out any abuse of it by the minority hobnob heads.
We have a jackery 1000.. and one weekend we actually hooked the van up to it and had the solar hooked in the whole time at the same time.. worked a treat and just kept an eye on it 😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣
Hi girls and AJ. I thought this was going to be a horror story so I was glad to see parts of the UK welcoming vans. Having watched numerous videos and planning a build later this year it seems to me that with some exceptions the UK is one of the worst places for parkups.
UK is tiny compared to other countries. There really isn’t the space for more vehicles on the road. Vans are becoming so popular and have tripled in the past few years and unfortunately a very small proportion of folks travelling in vans leave places full of rubbish so those that are respectful suffer. You can find space if you plan ahead. Hope you have a great time once your build is done. 😉
I defintely identify with Emily there. Yes so much to the push buttons and also the fact that Louise like my partner faffs so by time have time to watch something it's too late. Don't like to go over 10 at night :-)
Loving the video of Cornwall. If we had known that you stayed at Compton park in Callington we could have popped over to see you, as we only live about 4 miles away. We are glad that you chose the car park that you did on Kit hill as the other car parks can become a bit dodgy, especially at night times. If you are ever back in the area there are lots of nice walks, and lots of mining heritage to look at. We are currently restoring a classic 1977 Leyland Sherpa autosleeper which we have called Little blue. but there is still an awful Lot to do before it's back on the road. All the best to you both. Keep up the good videos. Gordon & Louise.
Your videos are so well filmed. I love the multiple cuts for one scene and so well timed. Jumping from the style for instance and having two camera angles. Seamless but more work for you. Very well done.
We went to see the castle in about 1987. No bridge then, I seem to remember there was a fish and chip shop/cabin thing right nearby and the portions were tiny but the price was huge . Also remember merlin's cave which you couldn't get to but could glimpse peeping out of the cliff foot in the sea.
Based on your recommendation we went to Tintagel today (20.09.2022). It was really worth the visit. Paid to go over the bridge and wander around the island and castle ruins. Walked up to the high point where the statue is situated. Went down to the cafe and exhibition too. The walk back up to Tintagel village was an absolute killer. Had a late lunch in King Arthur Arms and headed back to where we are staying just outside of St Austell. Great day, highly recommended. Thanks Ladies for the suggestion. Cheers, Andrew xxx
Woke up at 5am to get ready for work and not looking forward to my day. Couldn't resist a peep at your Vlog and found myself drawn into your day. I might have been a little late, but boy it send me off with a big grin. You guys are just amazing.
Morning from Sunny Wales , about 10 years plus i lived on the Lizard, near Goonhilly earth station? awesome place, It was always great seeing vans parked up tuck away, enjoying the tranquility. Now i find it sad that, they tighten up on where you can park. Tintagel great, lived there for 6 months, best place is the old parish church park up. Best way to get there, follow signs for YMCA narrow lane. Dont take slip to Ymca just go straight on
Push buttons taps are a pain but they are the best install to have! I run a caravan park for 3 years and the sheer amount of water taps left running is ridiculous
Head over to uk.jackery.com?aff=20 and use code Campervibe10 for 10% off Jackery 500/1000 and solar panels (valid 24th to 30th April)
Forgot to say Yeh! 2 minute tour needs attention.
Back in time sheep were been killed and cattle slaughtered .And it was claimed werewolves were at large,And its obvious it was not dogs doing it as the government sent in the royal marines.After that the government as usual said nothing.
That was in dartmoor .
Just dont walk on the moors at night.
Hi guys I did have quick chat to you about your dog had no idea you was filming at Compton Park if I knew you was I could have filled you in and some information about the area, and you did park at one of the steepest hills at kithill, hopefully you will return soon.

Same for me, 77 year old deserted Dutch in Brazil. Want to buy a camper and tour Europe and UK
Aw thank you guys 😊😊😊
what a very beautiful video from two very beautiful people. i was born in kingston london, lived in hounslow and basildon and went to cornwall often and stayed at penzance, st ives and st just, fave spot sennen cove and in 2001 it was either new zealand or cornwall and i came to nz. i miss the uk very much but am thankful for videos like this. emily's 2 minute tour had me cracked up especially the toilet tour ! i have only just found your channel and have faved this and subbed and have been living in a 2010 bailey pageant monarch caravan for nearly 1 year saving for a mortgage with my little companion dog buddy but you've both enhanced my sunday very much. blessings in abundance to you both 💞

Amy Paul & Ted 🐾
Thank you for noticing, Lou loves playing about with that kind of stuff so it’s nice when we see comments like this 😁
Agree about the titling. It's amazingly inventive yet subtle. The mark of a truly creative mind. Love it ❤️
Yeah I thought noticed that too. The attention to delail for something that's only on for a second is incredible.
I’m from london and I remember watching videos like this and wishing i could live here , now for 9 months I live in cornwall and I wake up every morning feeling so blessed
❤️❤️❤️
For the taps where you need to hold the button to dispense the water, look in to getting a quick grip clamp - will keep the button pushed in, leaving you free to carry on with something else! 👍
Not come across this channel before, but had to stop at 1:19 and say that the production of this is spot on 💯
Thank you
Here in the State's I've overheard some van lifers say some pretty insulting things about the little town I love. Some of them are like the rude hiker that stomps all over the meadow of flowers to get the shot of the sun setting, stomp all over everything getting back to their van, make some rude comment as the get gas and food, then leave. Not surprising some of us locals aren't fans.
That is very true
Every country in the world has some inconsiderate idiots, most van people love nature and are not like that.
I love Cornwall, everything about it, even the narrow roads, but most of all l love Fowey, beautiful. I bought a huge piece of slate back in the 70's with Cornish Schooner of Fowey etched on it. Its now, probably, the oldest headboard in the world. Take care and be safe xx
Love those old photos! Great to see the park-ups too, well done Cornwall. Very tempted with the Jackery …
I love looking at old pics 😁
Lived here in Cornwall almost 4years now. Still exploring and this video is absolutely awesome. Beautiful guys 😁
Amazing video, and even better with it being longer than usual☺️
😁😁
Cornwall looks amazing. So glad you got to return to an area you know and love. Hope everything else is going well. Loved the coast shots. Just gorgeous.
Spectacular drone shots: absolutely loved this week's video as well as your Cornish backstory!
You mirrored my teen life in my early 60s now, but when i was 17 i left home on my tiny island and moved to Newquay with my mate ,had 3 jobs there made pasties in the morning ,walked the beaches selling surf beads in the afternoon ,and in the evening worked in the Newquay Arms collecting glasses etc ,best time of my life stayed for 3 years
Sounds very similar indeed 😁
Love Tintagel girls, went there last year. If the council added an elsan point in one of the car parks I would stay all summer. Great video brought back all the good memories. 👍 🥰
Thank you for a beautiful video me and my partner retired down Devon 4 years ago and we absolutely love it here . It’s definitely a slower pace of life , I’ve only been following you for a few weeks and love you both your banter is just fantastic 😊
Aw thanks and yeah it’s a totally different way of life for sure
Excellent video as always, and always OK for you to take time out for yourselves. 😊
😁😁
Seeing a big thrust in edit and production effort on this one. Loved your videos before but cant help thinking your on a next level "We have a lot more to offer" mission right now. Dont often comment but 100% appreciation to your channel.
Thank you and thanks for taking the time to comment
You two crack me up 😂 I love Lou’s one liners. 👌🏻
Walking up and down that hill to get one of the intro shots. That's dedication to the craft 😅
😂
It's gorgeous out there in Tintagel - thanks so much for taking us along. I'm glad you gals spent some quality down time during the holiday also instead of all the constant work of filming. Take care now! :)
It was lovely to take some time for ourselves 😁
Super video. I was in Cornwall in the fall of 1978, pregnant with my daughter. Highlights: your patter; insider’s perspective of area; gorgeous footage of coast; best ukulele song I’ve heard; Emily’s two minute tour; Lou’s food grabbing silliness and that delicious looking pastie; learning more about your backstory. I look forward to more. AJ is beautiful and summer is a good cat. See you next time.
AJ and Summer are so good in the van and we love having them with us as well 😀😀
So nice to see you having fun together...sometimes life just gets in the way
Love a proper pasty! Xx
Gorgeous part of the world. Go most years. Was in Tintagel last year and Bude. . Mind you, we go everywhere lol. Also did Newquay, marazion, st Ives etc. Fab video you two.
Beautiful scenery! God's country for sure. Nothing makes a day better than a gut busting laugh. Great vlog as always Ladies.
Emily is like a puppy with food aggression, best get your own chips next time! Cornwall is beautiful and you had perfect weather. Thanks for taking us on such a lovely tour😀
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Hi Emily and lou
Lovell part of the world we go too st asaphs as well, though its a bit touristy now ( something us tourists don't like) 🤣🤣 lovely vlog though and some stunning pictures well done ❤️❤️👍 keep safe and well , enjoy your break 😀 👍
Bit possessive and kuntish in my opinion
Your content and cinematography just get better and better. And your individual personas shine through!
Excellent stuff 🙂
Thank you
Came here to say this! 100%
You can even charge your household batteries with that powerstation If you want to. Just plug the van in like you’d do with wall power. Now you can park in the shade And charge the van from the flexible Solar panel through the power station.
Great to see you both so relaxed and in holiday mode.
Love the video.
I am currently cycling from Azerbaijan back to the UK.
I just wanted to share that travelling and working from my IPad is so freeing physically and mentally.
I think the last two years have shown us that we need to live our lives our own way and that anyone can do anything if you want to.
When I eventually get back to the Uk I am certainly going to buy myself a van.
That’s amazing Trevor and we totally agree with you
Wow Trevor sounds a bit of a journey. Well done and take care
@@pamelaselway6669 It has been amazing so far. I just thought if I don't do it now I never will.
I hope you’ve gone across south of the Black Sea.
Buy one now and put the bike in the van and drive home!
Great video 👍🏻. The extra bits like animated maps and overlay text are so professional looking, it’s amazing you’re doing this from a camper van too! Have fun, looking forward to the next episode 😁
Thank you 😁😁
Absolutely amazing video, you two are so talented, loved it well done girls!!
😁😁
Love my Jackery 1000 and I've not even taken off yet! Can't wait to test it in the "field"! Tintagel magic. Was last there before the large bridge. Got there on a bicycle
Nice 👌
Hellooo!! Been binge watching your travels and your exciting times of buying a new home in Ireland. Really loving the adventure both of the van life and now the upcoming new home adventure on the motherland. Best of luck and look forward to next instalment!!
Once again the production value of this video is amazing! Great work! Loving the journey.
Another cracking video. All the more so because it brought back some memories. I was born in Looe, Cornwall and brought up in Launceston, on the Cornish and Devon border between Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. My Cornish connections date back to at least the 17th Century, absolutely love the place, its history and folk lore, and have explored it extensively. Regrettably life, education and work drew me and my family away in my late teens but I have returned whenever I can. (Less so now as I live in Spain.) It's not the place I remember any more, over developed in places, turning into a playground for the rich, a place I can't afford to live, but some of its charm remains: Bude, for instance, a paradise when I was a child and still attractive. N.B. Don't take this the wrong way, but regarding Tintagel and the alleged connections with King Arthur and Merlin, which once inspired me and is still promoted by English Heritage for commercial reasons: nice idea but the link at best is highly tenuous, pretty much nonsense I'd say. But Archaeological research over the years has, nonetheless, revealed the Castle across the exhorbitantly priced bridge has an interesting history, Medieval and maybe Romanic. (The Castle is owned, btw, by The Duchy of Cornwall so I'm sure Charles appreciates your possible contribution to his and Camilla's gin account.)
Gin account! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 love this and thank you 😀😀
Love your variety of content. I think this was one of my favorite. As an expat who vacationed in Cornwall in 1960's I appreciated where you were. Map was appreciated. The campsite was amazing for £22. I can imagine it getting crazy in summer. I was glad to see the real Cornish pasties. Thank you for bringing back great memories.
Great movie set up.
Glad we could bring some memories back
Beautiful part of the world. Have some lovely memories with my then bf who had to rescue me from the side of the walk back as I totally froze!!!! He still married me even with my fear of heights lol
Ure videos really cheer me up. I generally don't bother commenting as it's the Internet and u never know but I felt I needed to show u some love! Thank u. 😊
Aw thank you and thanks for commenting this time round 😁
Hello fellow travelers.
We are from Alaska and recently shipped our camper to Europe, at this time we are in Spain and catching a ferry to Plymouth in a couple weeks.
That has led us to discovering your channel (great editing btw). We don’t really have an itinerary, but it would be great to meet up with fellow creators this summer.
Hi, I live in Devon and highly recommend, when you get to Plymouth, drive straight through it (it's a bit of a dump) and head for Dartmoor. There are a lot of amazing places to see on Dartmoor but they have recently imposed a new 'no overnight stays in motorised vehicles' rule. I still see vans out at night when i'm there trail running at dawn or wild camping (which IS the only place in England where wild camping is legal) so i'm not sure its strictly enforced. Anyway, enjoy your visit when you come over from Spain.
Hi ya, that is pretty awesome, there are a few meet ups this year and events going on if you have face book you can check some out. We are heading over to greater Europe end of this month for the summer to explore, keep an eye out and if we are around the same area would be great to swap stories 😀
@@campervibe sounds good. We hope to spend the next 6 months in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
Safe travels.
|There is a town Called Tavistock lovely town good take away's b&b and surrounded by Dartmoor also has a few caravan parks
Make sure you see the Dart valley but (in my opinion) the Teign Valley on the East side of Dartmoor is far more beautiful. If you plan to go paddling wear board shoes. Granite erodes slowly but the surface goes like ultra sharp glasspaper.
By pressing the watter button at 4:37 - Use a strong stripe around to hold it.
But check all the time, until the water tank is full, to remove the stripe.
Some use a water counter mounted in the water tube.
Where you can see, how much water filled.
You two are hilarious. Enjoy your time together
I love that you had some time to yourselves and kicked back. Good on you. Summer looks super chilled 👌 as do you both (AJ always looks chilled)
We really are, it’s been lovely here
Cornwall is such a good place for so many reasons. Been a few times and quite fancy visiting the castle but not at £24 to cross a bridge. Just unaffordable for a family. Great to see AJ and Summer in the video.
It’s great is all being back in the van and they seem to be loving it
Join English Heritage it works out so much cheaper on a family membership and you can go to so many places including Tintagel Castle, Stonehenge etc as many times as you like and you just show your membership cards. No fee on entry as a member 🌹
Loved the history of the Dynamic Duo. Loved the pics! Thanks.
So good to hear we made you welcome 😊 I can see Kit Hill from my house. The coast path is a huge fav of mine, I'm hoping to hike a marathon along it in September...not quite up to running it 🥵 Did you manage to squeeze in a cream tea? Jam first 😉
Oh wow now that will be some achievement indeed, no cream tea but if we did I am weird and have my scone as it is no Jam or cream 😂🤦🏻♀️
Yep, definitely jam first! I like to spread the jam all over the scone and dollop heaps of cream on top.
If you put cream first, I reckon you'd have to skimp! 😄😄
They are only jealous of what they perceive you have and they HAVE NOT. I lived in a converted bbc sound truck, ( for about 15 years ), before van living was fashionable, then lived on a narrow boat for about 20 years and now live very happily in a static mobile home.
So brilliant to see you so happy in my home village, as you say, one of the best vanlife places in the U.K. Great footage as always and it was great to recognise all the places. The bridge shouldn’t be that expensive as it was completely paid for by a donation from, I think, the tetrapak people, so that’s naughty, but the coast is free and gorgeous! Thanks for your lovely video again.
We loved it and will so go return such amazing walks
We were there just a few weeks ago ( end February) and it was £18.00. Prices been hiked up for Easter holidays. Shame on you National Trust..these places just don’t get it. If they brought prices down more people would go and instead of NOT getting £72.00 (4 of us) they could’ve made £20
@@amandaoscroft7753 tintagel is an english heritage site, we used to be members and went often before the bridge was built, love it there. Now National Trust members just for the free parking since they own most the car parks in Cornwall.
King Arthur's Arms car park used to be £4 a night. And on Tuesday nights in the pub the local sea shanty choir rehearse. The sound touches your soul.
Love Tintagel, glad to see it hasn't changed much since we went a few years ago. We got the land rover back up the hill. So worth the money! We joined English heritage and I think it was included. Love the adventures around Cornwall. We explore the South Coast around Falmouth as our daughter has moved there for Uni. The lizard is a bit far but totally worth the journey.
Nice, yeah still pretty much the same 😁
Lived in England for a year, in a town called Glossup - close to Manchester - while my father was on a Sabbatical leave to study at University of Manchester. I was 8 years old. This was in 1960. I remember taking hikes in the surrounding Pennine hills with my family, in places like I see you two hiking around 27:40. Brings back memories, now being 70 years old. Cheers!
Thanks again for a wonderful video....I just love the dynamics between Lou and Emily and the content is engaging and just takes me out of the mundaneness of every day life. That's rounded off my weekend on a real positive note..... thanks again.....ps I liked the back story,, it was nice to know of your life before TH-cam
Glad it could 😁
I am going back through all of the vlogs that I missed. I LOVE you two!
One of your best vlogs……great cinematography, great humour and the location was absolutely beautiful….never been to Cornwall but will defo give it a go 👍🏽😎
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do
You beautiful people living the wonderful life in England's most glorious land, Cornwall.
I love the place & my first visit was to polzeath for my honeymoon, surfing & camping 👍 love the little insight into your past & how you met & fell in love❤️
Enjoy each day as tomorrow is never promised xx
This is so true and we definitely intend to 😁
Great video,well done
.Living 15 miles away from the location i thought you represented it well
.Emily is right , the cliff path is best avoided in the dark & you'd be surprised how many walkers dont & need rescue ,also before you go down make sure you can get back up again even if there are steps , be vigilant after heavy rain for land slip.
Nice to see you kept your dog on a lead, sadly we loose (2 this week alone) lots every year because the owners let the dogs off the lead & the dog obviously doesn't realize when running around if it's a 3ft ,30ft or 300ft drop waiting around the corner so a shout out for all the responsible owners of dogs & a plea to all owners to please keep your dog on a lead on the cliff path & enjoy the stunning scenery & fantastic sunsets in safety.
The jackery looks a awesome but of kit,thanks for the code I'll make use of it for the vw dub.
Looking forward to the next video 👍
Oh that is horrible I would hate it if AJ went off the edge, Lou thinks I am over cautious at times but I don’t think you can be when it comes to your fur babies for sure
And our pleasure for the code 😁
Hello ladies. I just wanted to say that a couple of weeks ago I was preparing to go down to Cornwall for a week. I had accommodation for most of the week, but for the first night I needed somewhere to stay over in the van. I didn't know where I could stay last minute and so was umming and errring about what to do. Whilst I was packing up the van (at 7pm at night), this video came on. All of a sudden I had my answer of where I could stay that night.....Tintagel!! So I left home (Hampshire) at 8pm that night and made my way down to Tintagel. It was such a good place to stay and so easy, which was good when arriving at midnight. I am so pleased this video happened to come on whilst I was packing up. Thank you for making it!! :)
That’s pretty awesome and that is definitely what you call timing right 😀😀
This is amazing how well everything works out in the vanlife. You two are inspiring and helpful! 😊 I save $ by driving a full EV
Thank you and what a good way to save
We did the same trip as you in 1962 camping in a mini van with too air beds,sleeping bags and a primes stove. Plenty of free camps in those days.
I was having a "FRIENDS" flashback. Joey doesn't share food. Glad both of you are having a great time.
Too right that is so me 😂
How much to walk across the bridge!! I did the steps back in 2006, got some lovely photos; I wouldn't have paid that much to walk the bridge. Glad you got some cracking weather, it was gorgeous on Exmoor over Easter too (for a change!).
I know right I was like nope
Hello.. This is your way of life. Rake no notice of what others think or say. Enjoy your stay where ever you are. Cornwall is a beautiful county and is well worth the visit and touring there is great fun.. Regards Mick.. X
Great to see you back out on the road. Looking forward to seeing you two lovely people at Camp Quirky! 😁😁 XX
Not long now, super excited 😆
Cornwall,looks fantastic. I was a kid last time I was there. I might head down there with the family later in the year, when the peak season is passed, thanks to your video. 👍👍👍
Incredible video, loved every minute. The work you must put into the editing Lou, it's so polished and such a good story. Cornwall looks amazing, but if you like that, you'd love the West coast of Scotland - you'll have to do that one day! Loved the old photos, Emily was (and still is) an absolute stunner!
Aw thank you and yeah totally got to do Scotland
That's so fascinating and endearing that you both had a life in Cornwall ten years ago, who knew! Summer was just a lit lun awww, your life is so awesome you're such a beautiful couple!
I’m so happy to see your subscriber numbers continuing to rapidly increase. Your channel has everything a good channel should - great humour, stunning photography (Louise, you’re amazing), knowledge and interest (even fun facts with a posh voice 😉), adventure in wonderful places, but also realism. Well done and definitely well deserved. One tiny thing, I prefer Emily with a fringe as it frames her beautiful eyes. 😊 (NB I’m an old female heterosexual and not a stalker!)
Thank you Catherine, it’s been a great couple of year being able to share it all
Ha ha knock before you open toilet door…love your 2 min tours…loved seeing your 🐱
Great vlog ladies. We're back to Devon and Cornwall in September again. We loved it last year. We stayed in between tintagel and boscastle at the c&c site. Site was a little tired but the last couple of pitches up on the cliff top were awesome. Really enjoyed the content this week. Thanks
Amazing 😁
Stay out of Devon. We don't want strangers coming here.
Possible tip regarding the awkward tap....
How about a ratchet clamp?
Press tap.
Fit clamp over tap/ post
Tighten to hold in "on" position?
Thanks 👍
Love all of your content. Just spent our first week in the van with 2 kids in north Devon (woolacombe area). Incredible lifestyle I imagine. Enjoy your travels 👌
How cool, hope you have enjoyed it
Just seen your comment and I live in woolacombe did you enjoy the red barn woolacombe beach Londis and the Jube / bar electric
Thank you girls. Loved this and watching Emily like a little jack russel protecting her chips….. 🤣😂
Too right 🤣
Loved the video, lots of different content. Still making me smile. You two are so funny at times. Take care and drive safe 🤗
😁
Those were amazing views of the coastal landscape. I like the houses and other buildings of the town too.
I just found your channel the other day and have been binge-watching ever since. I love your content; the wildlife photography, the bickering and Emily's 2 minute tours. I'm a bit older and not as mobile as I used to be, 30 years ago I'd have loved to do what you're doing, but thanks for your generosity in allowing me to adventure vicariously. I have to say though that it makes me sad, and a bit angry, at how much the spurious King Arthur connection is milked for as much tourist cash as possible. As you pointed out, Tintagel only goes back to the 12th century (and Glastonbury to the 10th, so equally bogus and cash grabbing). The fact is that there were 2 famous King Arthurs in British history, well documented in both British and several European sources. One was the son of Macsen Wledig (Romanised to Magnus Maximus) from Warwickshire, who fought both Saxons and Romans, in the 4th century. His successor, 6 generations later in the 6th century, was also called Arthur, ap Meurig ap Tewdric, King of Glamorgan and Gwent and he fought the Saxons. At that time, Britain spoke Welsh and included Brittany, Normandy, Cornwall, Wales and extended as far North as Strathclyde. This is disputed, naturally, as being politically inconvenient, but the version of history taught and promoted today only came about to suppress British Nationalism during the period of the Jacobite Uprising, French Revolution and American War of Independence. Since we had a recently appointed and deeply unpopular German Royal family, it was felt that playing up all things Roman and Saxon, and discrediting British history - introducing the term Celtic, for example - was the safest option, and so successful was this effort it is still taught, believed and vociferously defended to this day.
Hi ya, glad you have enjoyed the vids and I love all the info you have given as well 😀
lol genuine tears for chip theft poor Emily how could you be so cruel lou thanks for sharing your love and xx
Enjoyed seeing the old photos. The years of van builds and snacks have really taken their toll🤣
Well done Tintagel for the park up. Might be a good idea if people who use it email the council and let them know it is appreciated by decent van lifers. It might help cancel out any abuse of it by the minority hobnob heads.
That would be a good idea, we loved it
We have a jackery 1000.. and one weekend we actually hooked the van up to it and had the solar hooked in the whole time at the same time.. worked a treat and just kept an eye on it 😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣
Nice 👍
Hi girls and AJ. I thought this was going to be a horror story so I was glad to see parts of the UK welcoming vans. Having watched numerous videos and planning a build later this year it seems to me that with some exceptions the UK is one of the worst places for parkups.
It’s not the easiest at times and there are so many better places across the water but it is still nice to explore where you live 😁
UK is tiny compared to other countries. There really isn’t the space for more vehicles on the road. Vans are becoming so popular and have tripled in the past few years and unfortunately a very small proportion of folks travelling in vans leave places full of rubbish so those that are respectful suffer. You can find space if you plan ahead. Hope you have a great time once your build is done. 😉
@@judybage4083 Thanks - with 1M new immigrants granted residency last year in the Uk (yes, really) you make a valid point!
@@ezioauditore3128 There were 190,175 grants of British citizenship in the 2021.
@@simonburt947 Citizenship does not equal leave to remain or residency. You're confusing the two.
I live in a van. My daughter is moving to Cornwall with her mum. This made me feel better about going down to see her. Cheers
😀😀
I defintely identify with Emily there. Yes so much to the push buttons and also the fact that Louise like my partner faffs so by time have time to watch something it's too late. Don't like to go over 10 at night :-)
I know right, she is such a faff
You need a long(ish) woodworking clamp for that sort of tap, saves standing there holding it for ages, any diy place/big box store etc.
I be the first therefor I am legend
You is always a legend in my eyes.... 😉👍
Oh yes. You are indeed.
😂😂 yeah keep telling yourself that Neil 😂😂
Loving the video of Cornwall. If we had known that you stayed at Compton park in Callington we could have popped over to see you, as we only live about 4 miles away. We are glad that you chose the car park that you did on Kit hill as the other car parks can become a bit dodgy, especially at night times. If you are ever back in the area there are lots of nice walks, and lots of mining heritage to look at.
We are currently restoring a classic 1977 Leyland Sherpa autosleeper which we have called Little blue. but there is still an awful Lot to do before it's back on the road.
All the best to you both. Keep up the good videos.
Gordon & Louise.
Now little blue sounds something special, we loved the area so I expect we will definitely go back and that car park was a right gem 😁
“You can have one more…DON’T TAKE A BIG ONE!!!” LoL! Classic! Great fun video! Thanks.
😁😁
Your videos are so well filmed. I love the multiple cuts for one scene and so well timed. Jumping from the style for instance and having two camera angles. Seamless but more work for you. Very well done.
Thanks ladies! And nice to meet you!
Have a beautiful day!!!!
🍃🤗🍃
And you 😀
Wow Emily has a real withering look, she frightened me. No chip pinching allowed.😂😂
😂😂
We went to see the castle in about 1987. No bridge then, I seem to remember there was a fish and chip shop/cabin thing right nearby and the portions were tiny but the price was huge . Also remember merlin's cave which you couldn't get to but could glimpse peeping out of the cliff foot in the sea.
Oh really small portions and high price back then as well
Brilliant vlog fantastic content and superb photography 😊 Well done you two can’t wait for the next one 👍
Based on your recommendation we went to Tintagel today (20.09.2022). It was really worth the visit. Paid to go over the bridge and wander around the island and castle ruins. Walked up to the high point where the statue is situated. Went down to the cafe and exhibition too. The walk back up to Tintagel village was an absolute killer. Had a late lunch in King Arthur Arms and headed back to where we are staying just outside of St Austell. Great day, highly recommended. Thanks Ladies for the suggestion. Cheers, Andrew xxx
Thts great, glad you enjoyed it 😀
Woke up at 5am to get ready for work and not looking forward to my day. Couldn't resist a peep at your Vlog and found myself drawn into your day. I might have been a little late, but boy it send me off with a big grin. You guys are just amazing.
Aw that’s amazing 😁
well done you two,great vid and content and love the banter between you.keep up the good work.
Morning from Sunny Wales , about 10 years plus i lived on the Lizard, near Goonhilly earth station? awesome place,
It was always great seeing vans parked up tuck away, enjoying the tranquility. Now i find it sad that, they tighten up on where you can park.
Tintagel great, lived there for 6 months, best place is the old parish church park up.
Best way to get there, follow signs for YMCA narrow lane. Dont take slip to Ymca just go straight on
Hi there...nice video, by the way that "Emily running" was very funny and ... hmm informative😁👍
Fantastic vlog, loved the scenery. We've walked the whole of the South West Coast path in stages.....amazing scenery!
Push buttons taps are a pain but they are the best install to have! I run a caravan park for 3 years and the sheer amount of water taps left running is ridiculous
Oh we know, we used to run holidays ourselves so totally agree just annoying 😂😂
Your a breath of fresh air and so entertaining. Great humour thanks
