What an epic trip this was! The longest adventure in the van yet and my god the weather was kind to us 😁. Thank you all ever so much for supporting these videos and if you would like to go one step further and get early access to new videos, please consider joining my Patreon from as little as £1.99 www.patreon.com/brendanexplores 🙂. Every comment, like and share really helps the channel and I can't thank you all enough ❤️👍
Love the singing😊 this place is so beautiful. You must make some jaffels. Hope M is feeling better❤
Why’s no one commenting bout there singing it was hard asffff
Brilliant video, thank you. We are hoping to visit Anglesey one day. Hope Matti felt better soon. Tell him to see about some Triptans for his migraines. Mine are prescribed but you can buy over the counter. I take sumatriptan & couldn’t manage without them. First thing I packed in the van! Great singing from all 3! X
Glad you enjoyed the video tland thankfully Matti is feeling much better now 🙂
Wow you Dad's great 😊
Thank you, yeh he's good at what he does 🙂👍
@@BrendanExplores Does he just do it for pleasure or does he do gigs?
Brendan: "if you know what the mill used to be, put it in the comments".
Viewers: "it's on information boards behind you!" 😂😂
Another great video. Cheers mate 😊
That's too much hard work 🤣🤣 glad you enjoyed the video buddy 👍
@@BrendanExplores 🤣 Fair point!
Oh my, my, my ,my!!❤ Your dad is amazing!! ( And later in the video I can tell you've inherited the pipes!) Cool speaker!! Monuts all around!! Adding this to my bucket list for whenever I manage a trip over the pond! Living in BC, Canada and growing up on Vancouver Island, ferry trips have always been.a part of my travels. We complain like crazy at the cost though! Yesterday I caught the ferry from Vancouver Island (visiting family) to the mainland and saved a ton by catching the 5am ferry! But I was so tired by the time I reached my home after the ferry and then a 4 hour drive. Recuperating today with YT and enjoyed sharing your's and Mattie's adventures!
Thank you very much and yeh I used to be a professional singer but the music industry never really took off for me but my dad's been playing music all his life 🙂. Definitely worth checking the ferry again and seeing if I can catch a cheap one 👍
@@BrendanExplores Wow! Things we don't know about Mr. Explores!😄
listen to that lad behind you calling little piggy's with them doughnuts in welsh lol
As a Dutchie I obviously have to react to the milll. Looks like a flour mill👍
Yeh I guessed it might be but thanks for confirming 🙂👍
You can go across to South stack lighthouse and even go inside it. The only issue is the 400 steps it takes to get there and the 400 steps to return quite a climb buts its worth it. Also suppose to be haunted and it was on a episode of most haunted.
Ahhh nice! Bet it would be a knackering walk though.. nice to see up close though 👍
Lovely singing boys. Matthew looking like a member of the backstreet boys on that beach😂
Thank you 🤣 don't tell him that, that's his favourite band! Lol it will go straight to his head haha
Brilliant singing , what good voice's you both have👍🎵
Great tour of Anglesey. Best part was the singing though, keep up the good work.
Thanks Duncan 🙂 and I'm glad someone enjoyed the singing 😂😂👍
Great friendship you two have. Lovely to see. You were blessed with great weather. 🌞👍
Did anyone else think it was a Geiger Counter clicking away at 0:23 next to Wylfa nuclear power station?
You can walk the steps down the the South Stack lighthouse island for free, crossing the bridge on to the island and doing the tour is about a tenner. You can also climb inside the lighthouse to see the lamp and mirror on the tour - very cool. Hope Matti's feeling better. Great trip chaps! awesome
It does definitely sound like that doesn't it 😂 next time I'm in Anglesey I'll definitely walk down to the lighthouse 🙂. Glad you liked the video mate and thanks for leaving a comment!
Omg, you guys are superb singers! Brendon you obvs get that from your dad.
Irish Ferries are a tad cheaper than P&0. Midweek out of season is cheapest. And random unpopular times. 😀
Also if you have a Tesco club card it can used the value x 3 towards cost. Handy to build up with fuel purchases 🙂
Thanks for the advice mate 👍 might have to have a deeper look into times and prices 🙂
@@BrendanExplores Stena Line have a low fares calendar. Lowest Holyhead to Dublin seems be £129 return currently. Midweek and vans / campers up to 6 metres. Tempted myself.
@@wilburytwist6683 hhhhmm now that does sound interesting 👍. Any specification on when you can return and how long you can stay for?
I live in Holyhead. The coast is beautiful
Beautiful scenery well done Brendan. love the singing keep it up especially Matti's husky tones get well soon. 🌞
It was beautiful Pat 🙂 and I'm glad someone liked the singing 👍
You can go down to south stack lighthouse and its open sometimes I went in years ago
Oh really? I bet that's brilliant to see up close 🙂 thanks for the info 👍
I just threw a pound coin at the telly!! Fair play, your Dad is bloody good... get him booked for Vanfest
😂😂 you never know what next year brings mate lol. Would that be good though eh
Brilliant break lads, brilliant memories. Fantastic road trip and footage!👍 But the singing though??😂😂 .Keep living the dream!👍
Cheers mate, glad you liked it 😁 and I'll have you know, we were nearly signed to Anglesey's biggest record label "Anglesey Rocks" 😉🤣
Ahh Newborough Beach! One of my favourite places on Anglesey, and it's the location where I shot my first ever video for my channel! Yes you can walk to the South Stack lighthouse if you really fancy a workout. You can get to Ireland and back if you're going for the day for £15 as a foot passenger. And I hope Matti got better quickly.
G.
It was a beautiful beach mate! Think I might give the walk a miss then 😂😂. Thanks for the advice about the ferry as well 🙂 will definitely be doing that for sure!
Great vid again Brendan. Nothing better than waking up with the sun shining and a nice bacon and egg sarnie.
Thanks mate and I couldn't agree more! Perfect start to the day 😁👍
Power station is being decommissioned with the reactor offline so im sure you'll be alright.
Ahhh ok then, thanks for the info 👍 I heard it might be going back online soon?
What an epic adventure! You visit some amazing looking places. Will definitely have to go to some of these places myself. Stunning weather too 😎
Thanks mate, glad you could virtually join us 😁 and absolutely! Some really beautiful spots on this trip 🙂👍
We've had a seasonal pitch on Anglesey for years... its an amazing place and you've barley touched the surface dude... RAF Valley is a must during the week, and yes you can go to southstack, for a price lol.. loved the vids.. safe travels.. ATB Ian
Really enjoying your videos :)
your last spot u missed out there if u went down the beach to the right as u walked on right down it takes u up to another two light houses and some stunning views off the coast out to sea and inland amazing place visited a few times but another great video hope mat is better now and ready for another trip keep up the hard work
Brendon in South Wales the English is first on signs then the Welsh. Then in North Wales it’s the Welsh first. So the signs you look at in North Wales and Anglesey it’s the Welsh you see first and then the English translation. Hope that helps you. By the way we do love your channel. We have a van and your ideas and helpful tips are brilliant. Actually we bought a Ridge Monkey pan on your recommendation. Keep up the great journeys from Mandy and Colin Hull in Caldicot, Monmouth shire near Chepstow.
Love your channel dude, keep up the great work, it makes our week👌🚐
Thanks mate 👍 that means a lot 🙂 and thank you again for leaving a comment
Fantastic again mate lived in Holyhead all my life we dont appreciate it like holiday makers do. Your vids are almost like an advertisment for Anglesey 😂 great channel mate 👍🏻
Thanks buddy and it really is a beautiful place! ❤️ I hope it inspires some people to visit as it was incredible!
Brill video....great to see ya dad too. Anglesey looks great. Its on my to do list as believe the puffins there are treat to photograph. Fab video 😊
Thank you 🙂 definitely recommend a visit as I'll be returning next year for sure!
Quite simply, another brilliant video Brendan, love what you do, you definitely bring a smile to my face. The singing was sensational, 😃. Great scenery, great food and great banter. Btw, your dad was so good on that guitar, I think he should play an intro for your channel, (brand recognition) and all that?!?! 🎸 🎸 🎸
Stay safe pal, 👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍 yeh might think about an intro soon!
chilli con carne would be good to cook in the van . lidl do a sauce . so just need beans onions and beef or turkey mince
Love that spontaneous a cappella 🌝
🤣🤣 glad someone does lol 👍
Brilliant video brendan I have never been to Anglesey what you have shown us looks really nice place to go especially those things not called doughnuts thank you for showing us your travels
Thank you Sally, it was beautiful! Hope you can visit one day 🙂 and the Monuts were really tasty! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
A friend of mine used to work on the ferries, he told us that the prices are intentionally inflation to discourage cars, the operators are all for freight, as its a bigger and faster income. That's such a shame, Fishguard prices are the highest apparently.
What a shame, as I would love to take the van over sometime but I guess it's going to be a day visit on foot 👍
A dahl is a good back of the cupboard easy go to! With a bit of naan
Ooo ok then 🙂 what is that and how do I make it?
Great video them monuts looked amazing 😋👌xx
Thanks Heather 🙂 oh yes! They were great 😋👍
That lightbulb comment was hilarious 🙂, and please do come across to Ireland , bring Dad too.
Loved the vid, some useful stuff in there for future trips - I need to try a monut now! But I cant believe you went to Llanddwyn beach and didnt walk to Llanddwyn Island to see the cross, 2 x lighthouses and ruins etc...! That is why all of the people were there - its the most picturesque place in Anglesey!
Thank you, glad you liked it 🙂 and I would of loved to explore that island but with Matti being unwell, I didn't want to leave him out 👍
Great video again mate, they really are getting better with each one. Those Monuts looked superb. And poor Matti, but its his own fault for wearing a hoodie in the sun. 😀 .
Cheers buddy glad you think so 🙂👍 those Monuts were delicious! Thankfully Matti's recovered now
.......watching the Danes sailing in.. Imagine...
I love the singing duet, you should do it more often, what a waste of a talent.
Great video again m8. You can park at the rspb car park with cafe and walk all the way down to the light house. You can also pay to go into the lighthouse. That side of the island is beautiful and there’s loads of beach coves there to camp for free m8. Look forward to your next video 👍👍
Thanks mate and I'll remember that for next time 🙂 would of been good to get close to it 👍. Definitely have to return there at some point!
Its called holyhead lol, great fishing off the breakwater
Would love to go fishing at some point 🙂👍
Quality trip mate really good content 👌
Thank you very much and glad you enjoyed it mate 🙂
Brilliant again Bren…👍🏼
Thank you mate, glad you could join me 🙂👍
17:57 When's the Britain's Got Talent appearance
We won it 5 years ago 😉😂
Yes me
Recipe suggestion: have you done a risotto before? Either from scratch, although there are some lovely packets in Aldi 😀 if you have, which video was that? 😀👍
Never done one in the van before but I will certainly be checking in Aldi for some to try in the van 🙂👍
It may have been the 'World foods' brand I've tried from there before, mushroom I think, was very nice, creamy 😋
Last few of weeks left with good weather I reckon, then I'm going to hopefully install my diesel heater, keep going as long as I can. I was at thorsby hall week just gone providing water safety in my kayak for the triathlon, can't beat getting paid to camp in my van and kayak on a beautiful lake. Free facilities on site and catering included.
That sounds like bliss mate 🙂 bet you had a great time 👍 I've got a couple of videos filmed and currently editing 😁
Your Kettle is doing it's best Geiger Counter impression 😂 Still can't be any worse then Me exploring a nuclear missile base 😉
It did sound like that didn't it 🤣🤣. When did you do that? Sounds interesting 👍
@@BrendanExplores few weeks ago it's on my channel called "The world nearly ended here" fascinating bit of Cold war history!
Looked an epic trip brendan I have yet to explore wales / Anglesey
It really was mate, definitely recommend going to enjoy the island 🙂👍
Great video, be good to see some more of your Dad playing guitar.
Thank you and yeh he's going to be setting up a page soon and I'll be able to share it with you 🙂👍
I love doing a easy Chinese yuk sung when camping you will need
1 tbsp Oil
1 Onion
3 Cloves garlic
1 tsp Ginger puree 1 inch piece if using fresh.
2 Small carrots
250 g Mushrooms
2 Peppers Orange or red work well.
500 g Pork mince
3 tsp Chinese five spice
2 tbsp Dark soy sauce
2 tbsp Oyster sauce
To Serve
3 Spring onion Chopped.
2 Red chillies Add more or less depending on your preference.
2-3 Little gem lettuce and how to make
Prepare your vegetables: Chop onion and mushrooms. Peel and crush the garlic. Peel and finely chop the carrots. Peel and chop the ginger (if using fresh).
Heat the oil in large open wok. Fry the pork mince with 1 tsp of Chinese 5 Spice until browned.
Add the onion, garlic and ginger, carrots, mushrooms, peppers, remaining 5 spice, soy sauce and oyster sauce.
Cook on a medium to low heat for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture is browned and the sauce has thickened slightly and absorbed into the meat.
Serve in little gem lettuce leaves and top with chopped spring onions and chillies. (Leave chillies out if you prefer).
Thank you for the suggestion, it sounds delicious 😋 might give it a try at home first 👍
Hope Ed Sheeran felt better after his Migraine! You two are the next Jedward! You’re some man Brendan making your mate dinner all the time! If you like Mac n Cheese you should try my recipe.Boil the macaroni as normal in pot with water until ready, then drain some water away to the level is just under the top of the mac, then start bundling in grated cheese and stirring, once the ‘broth’ is nice and cheesey that’s you done, A nice cheesey soupy brothy macaronie, it’s the go to hangover meal for me. Try it yerself, Watery macaroni as my Mum calls it!
He recovered eventually 👍 and we could well be the next Jedward mate 🤣. He must just love my cooking lol and thanks for the recipe suggestion 🙂 actually sounds nice and easy to prepare 👍
Another great video buddy. Views galore. Salted caramel monut is a nooooo 😂😂. Needs to be choc and mint.
ATB Adam 🤜💙🤛
Thanks mate, Anglesey is a beautiful place! ❤️ They had so many flavours 🙂👍
Great little trip , really enjoyed the episodes. You and matty work well together 👍
Thank you mate 🙂 yeh we had a great laugh on this one 👍 glad you enjoyed it
@BrendanExplores always do. Great that the van is looking good and serving you well. Look forward to seeing more trips. 👍
Minimum of 3 or 4 times a year I use the ferry for Ireland. But it's getting ridiculous for the prices now and cheaper to fly. I love that area though lots of really nice places to park up. When mines done (end of September) I'll be heading there come rain or shine. Your videos get better and better keep it up pal 😊
Backpack Sling
Is that the official name? 👍
Brendan, I notice you use wet wipes. Have a look at Freshwipes, they are bigger and wetter and eliminate body odour. Biodegradable. You only need one wipe each time. 20% of first order,
Thanks for the suggestion 👍 I'll look them up 🙂 been looking for a solution to a better wet wipe!
Great video bro hope you are well
Thank you mate 🙂 glad you liked it and I'm good thanks 👍 hope your good
Iv just been to anglesey for kayking, wished i known about that donut place though. Stunning place of north west wales :D
Ooo nice, bet that was beautiful 🙂 yeh it was a nice addition to the trip 👍
looks like the Tronsmart Bang Max has either totally sold out worldwide or been pulled from production as it is not available anywhere that i can find
Didn’t know you had to leave your firefighting job because you lost an arm . Fair play dude 🫡🤘
Yes mate, terrible business but I got through it 😂👍
1:03 Mate, that's not the sun. That's the radiation! 😵💫😂
Anyway, that was quite the musical episode. Your dad's got some skills! 🤘
A couple of shippy songs for you...
'Beyond The Sea' and, for the Geordies out there, 'When The Boat Comes In'.
All the best to Matti. Migraines ain't fun.
I think it was the radiation you know! 🤣 glad you enjoyed the musical in this video lol and I appreciate the ship songs 👍
Where did that singing voice come from PES🤣🤣🤣 decent trip glad the weather held up.
Years of practice mate 🤣🤣 glad you enjoyed it buddy 🙂👍
Omg you sound so much like Dom Joly!
Another excellent video Brendan, thank you. You're dad's a cool geezer. Flour mill. Was that ferry price a single or return? Always carry parking cash.
Thanks for watching mate and he certainly is 🙂👍
Got enough pasta there man? 😂😂Will catch up soon !!
Could of done with a bit more 🤣🤣🤣 hope you enjoy 👍
I am sailing - Rod Stewart
Yes! Good suggestion mate 😁👍
yea was my grandmas favourite song when she was still around ❤
I'm in Ireland atm in the car camper having come across on the ferry. West Coast you'll find a lot more camper friendly than the UK ( for the most part lol!). Hit me up for some must see places as I've done the Atlantic Way end to end twice now in the car camper
R Kelly lads! Really? You'll be singing "dya wanna be in my gang,my gang" next 🤣
Defo not ed sherain with that singing 😂
We will get there! This time next year 😉👍🤣
You make a good egg mate!
Was that the kettle boiling or the geiger counter at the start of the video. 😅
Definitely sounded like a geiger counter didn't it lol
Britain's got talent! No better not!😅
Corn mill to maybe make flour by the looks Guys x
Yeh I agree, that's what my first thought was 🙂👍
@@BrendanExplores I hope Mattie feel better?
Any links to more of your dad playing / singing?
Boat related songs:
Sailing by Rod Stewart
Battleship chains by Georgia Satellites
Sh!£ Boat by Alestorm - not really suitable to be sung in public but would be funny to hear you and matt do a version
Yeh he's going to be setting up a page soon and once it's all set up I'll share the links 🙂👍
@@BrendanExplores brilliant. Thanks
And I watch em roll away again…..
🤣🤣 yes!
Hi how are you doing 0:4
I'm good thanks, you?
When did you loose your hand brendon 😁 great video though, if you ever come down south, look me up, I've got a car camper. 👍
I shut it in the van door one evening 🤣🤣 and absolutely mate, I'm hoping to head around a few places and arrange some group camps 🙂👍
Looking forward to that,hope your hand grows back soon 😁
keep telling you Brendan keep cash alive use it or loose it.
what happened with the van build as I noticed that part way through the registration changed??? 😂
🤣🤣 yeh I didn't mention it did I lol
@@BrendanExplores Apologies Brendan, I only noticed as I was comparing my 2003 Vivaro as it has done 182000 miles lol. I am partially through my van build and cant wait to get out and about. I really want to try the NC500 and I also fancy a trip to Loch Ness too :)
Hi i would take a clothes horse with you so in the dry weather while your having breakfast you can air your duvet and pillows keep up the good work
Good shout mate 👍 I might give that a try when condensation gets bad
One man’s duvet is another man’s w@nk blanket 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t think Matthew will appreciate food and definitely not the ghetto blaster 😩
Guys dont give up your day jobs for a singing career matty does a great Brittany spears voice 😂😂😂❤
Matty has a nice voice but Otis Reading was out of key
⛓️🎹🌼🌟😂🏹🍻🏞️
A man bag 🎒
Thank you! It certainly is 🤣🤣
