- In this episode, we visit Blackpool in our DIY camper van St Christopher of Atlantis with our dog Pablo. After a disastrous romantic breakfast last time, can Andy redeem himself by an overnight stay in one of Blackpool's aires. Is Blackpool dog friendly or were we left out in the cold. Keep watching to find out.
VAN GEAR
We use an EcoFlow Delta Max 2 with solar panels for our electricity on the road. We never have to plug into campsite electricity supplies during the summer months. You can find them here amzn.to/43Mm8CQ
We use these lights in the van amzn.to/42WVXbq - they are USB powered, last ages on a charge and they are detachable so you can take them to the toilet block at night time.
This is our trusty diesel heater which we've had zero issues with amzn.to/46fVG6i - it is very warm and extremely economical. We upgraded some of the parts which can be found here -
Fuel line amzn.to/3PDxTr5
Exhaust amzn.to/46cammI
Turret amzn.to/3PmLrH9
Drill bit for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NEEPCT
Hole Saw for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NjmR7i
Heat Proof Sealant amzn.to/3Nb40eG
Claire uses the heater in combination with this oversized hoodie which keeps her warm even in the Alps in winter amzn.to/42JG6Nf
Our water tap is USB powered, lasts ages and doesn't let us down amzn.to/46aamDN
Our sink is just a sink but works well amzn.to/445I2kb
We use 2 Jerry Cans for fresh and waste water amzn.to/3PlSQGv
These are our blackout curtains that are light weight and block the light brilliantly amzn.to/3XcCpyp
Our windows have this stuff across them amzn.to/3NDn0Uv - we keep them closed with these press studs - amzn.to/3qRqUAm
This handy humidity and temperature monitor is good for keeping an eye on the interior amzn.to/3CDw5Xi
These are hands down the best travel towels. They are small to pack and work like magic at drying us off amzn.to/3JmDjCH
When we cook in the van we use our beloved Ridge Monkey which can be found here amzn.to/3PDxa9l and my old Trangia Stove which is bullet proof. They can be found here amzn.to/3PkRRX6
We use an iPad for navigation which is awesome. We mount this over our existing radio with these mounts amzn.to/46qcYxF - they are really good and we haven't had any accidents.
The van is insulated with this insulation amzn.to/3XiVFKM - Claire is usually cold in the house but finds that she is always warm in the van.
We used this for sound deadening the van which has made it so much quieter on the road amzn.to/3Jm8EFr
CAMERA GEAR
Our footage is shot on a GoPro which we highly recommend for travel as they fit into your pocket and your footage is stabilised. These are well worth having and are way better than your phone camera. You can find these here amzn.to/3pl9pb3 - because we use external microphones we use a media mod that allows this. You can find this here amzn.to/3NCxR13
You may notice that we have really good low-light footage in our recent videos. This has been made possible with the Sony ZV-E10 camera. It's a vlogging camera with a swing-out screen and gives excellent quality images without being too big and heavy. You can find these here amzn.to/448TED2 and the lens that we use here amzn.to/3Nj1brU - the lens is extremely important for low light.
One of the problems with the Sony camera is it is stabilised as well as the GoPro so we use this gimbal when out to smooth out the shots.
We use a lot of batteries when out and about so we have added these extra batteries with chargers to our collection amzn.to/3NDVtm4
This is our tripod which is great as it doubles as a monopod amzn.to/3p3IGzW - it's lightweight and easy to carry around.
I love our camera bag, it's easy to arrange things how you want to with individual compartments, it's got a waterproof cover and you can strap the tripod to it amzn.to/3qRa0Si
We use Comica C3 wireless microphones so that you can all hear us clearly. They are a budget mic but really good for capturing dialogue as we are out and about. You can find these here amzn.to/3Nh32xF
These memory cards work really well for our 4K footage amzn.to/3Jmkj7e

12:32 pablo looked peeved 😂
Hi 👋 Must have been when he realised where we were camping up!! 🤣🤣
We've been and stayed at the north shore in Scarborough many a time and enjoyed walking the dog on the beach
Scarborough is on our list
Love Blackpool been loads and loads of times .. ☺👌
We do too, it’s just one of those places that always gets us excited to go.
That cash machine 😂! Love a good joke shop though - did ya swing past hairy ketch?
Hi, was a cracking day beside the seaside beside the sea… my ultimate favourite place as a kid
if you have a small dog and want to go to Blackpool, get a dog pram. We have been able to take him in the amusement arcades on rainy days and also the sea life centre, we tried tower ballroom but they wouldnt have it...theres also "the little black pug pub across the road at north shore, the trams are dog friendly too and the conductors love having dogs on and really make a fuss of them. But you are right, on the whole Blackpool isnt great for dogs and the pleasure beach is just a joke now, charging just for walking around it and not allowing dogs. .
Thanks we’ll look into that 😊
Use coral islands toilets or there's a public one next to what used to be woolworths. Council has toilets down the road just past the mini golf course in St annes. There is also some near the pier, some by Whitesides taxi office.
Thank you, we will next time we go.
Outer shoes? I laughed so hard. So funny.
😂😂😂
Blackpool you are very brave
🤣🤣🚐
Nice video, made me smile loads thanks 👍 went to Blackpool as a child long long time ago and I’m going to keep those memories safe by not visiting Blackpool 😂 top tip for Claire, we live in the UK, the, white shoes get well dirty wherever you are 🤣 get Andy to buy you a nice pair of walking shoes, he owes you after making you walk in the wet.
Now then, less of that shopping talk, I’m a Yorkshireman!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis 🤣
So funny, thank you for that. Can’t wait for your next adventure .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid, lovely to hear local accents, I live in Sheff , get that caravan and Motorhome membership used, some awesome sites if you want cheaper options use the CL network 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching
Was in Blackpool for my Aunt’s 90th last March, had a brilliant time ❤
Hi. We have had some brilliant times in Blackpool too.
Have a great evening
Loved the video, when Claire came out of the toilet and said it was awful I thought you said under turd 😂, had to rewind
😂 we’ll have to watch that back.
We are Mancunian and so spent a fair chunk of time in Blackpool as kids… fond memories but some things are best left in the past 😂!!
APT 🐾
Hey, yes us too. Summer holidays or illuminations meant a trip to the bright lights of Blackpool.
Who needs Vegas when you are 10 years old and can head into Blackpool
@@Stchristopherofatlantis through the sunroof for the lights if you were posh! 😂 there were 4 of us (kids, I’m the youngest so never had my own seat / belt in the car, just the grasp of my older sister) those were the days!!
Sunroof?? You are posh!! 😂
Those toilets that Claire visited... I had my bachelor weekend in Blackpool many many many years ago. Me and the batsman were stripped off and left tie wrapped together outside this toilets. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi. OMG is that a true story. Don’t think they’ve been cleaned since around that time 🤣🤣🤣
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Oh yes it's true... Twas a weekend to remember 🤣🤣🤣
Just catchup on your videos. Next time - park up on the Inner Prom @ St Annes. Lovely and everyone does it... loads of vans and motorhomes. We live in St Annes and love it.
oops - should have waited until later in the video to comment. DOH
Hi. Thanks for continuing to watch (glad you want to!!)
We loved St Anne’s, glorious beach. Pablo was in heaven!
Thanks for recommending and we will make sure we go! See you there!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis The whole of St Annes and Lytham are absolutely dog friendly. The out of season business runs on dog walkers...
We will return over autumn, the beach was fab.
Thanq for the video, but dogs ARE VERY, VERY tying.
My daughter & her husband have got a collie-lab & a lab, they go to Whitby.
My sister & I r going to Blackpool in July for a week. Thankfully no pets.
We are lucky that most of the things we want to do we can do with Pablo. For the other times we have help. Enjoy your trip 😊
Next time stay at Lytham st Ann’s it’s free,
Thanks for the tip, that's what we'll do.
Coral do not like dogs but the rest do ie Golden Mile Funland Happy Dayz check out some of our vide in Blackpool with Stella Body cam the loo's you have to pay ok if you ever come back drive to Fleetwood & you can park for free & in Blackpool park on central drive near the football stadium you can park for free that is where we park in our sprinter PS the winter gardens you can take you dog in that place Ps we are here in just 9 days when you went to Lytham St Annes a friend use to live their now she lives in Blackpool
Ah that's good to know, thanks for the info and thanks for watching our video. Say hi if we see you on the road.
That cafe is poor quality and too small for doggy diners, we were ripped off £8.50 just for two coffees. The best dog cafe in Blackpool is the old solarium swimming baths up South Shore quite near to Stargate tram. The food is quality and its a large area and they love dogs.
We’ll try that one. Thanks for sharing 👍
Lytham is a lovely place Blackpool is just not for me smelly grotty doss hall 💯 NO from me PNE fan
We love Lytham
If that is van life you can keep it. car park with a view of rubbish, dirty public toilets, but its great because its free or cheap.. nope
😂
Crap only been once no moor
Not for you then 😂
