North Wales hidden gem!

- This riverside campsite is a real hidden gem. It's in an area West of Chirk, South of Llangollen, in North East Wales and the Ceiriog valley is not a heavily visited area so, it maintains its peaceful charm and is brimming with beautiful nature.
We camped in our VW T5 California camper van for 1 night, took a walk along the river, seen the local Pandy volcanic rocks, walked in to Glyn Ceiriog village and had a camp fire with beers next to the river Ceiriog.
To finish our trip, we visited the architectural wonder, Chirk Viaduct and aqueduct.
The perfect trip to get back out in the van after a 2 month break (other than Busfest) and we can't wait to get out again!

I was only wondering yesterday I couldn’t wait to to see you 2 and the dog 🦮glad you’re back 🏕️👍🏿🚐
Thanks man 🤩
We don’t often go away during school summer holidays so always quiet so hopefully we’ll get away more often now, house move dependant 🤞🏼
Good luck with the move. Hope to see you out and about again soon.
Thanks mate! 🙏🏼
Great to see you back again. I love these videos. Good luck with the house move.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Welcome back guys, missed you. Stunning site! I think of you every time I “brush” my carpet with that tool you recommended, it’s just brilliant!
Thank you 🙏🏼
😄😄😄 Sarah will be made up as she still tells everyone about that tool!
Yey 😀 your back , missed you all 🙂 best of luck with your brilliant move 🏡
Thanks very much 🤩
Good to see you back!🚐😄🐕😎☀️

@@trisyork thanks mate!
Just reminded me, I need to order some of your beer 🤩
Nice… where you heading to in the cali??
@@Professionalmoochersjust the North York Moors mate! I’ll have a look to see if I can send some more!!
@trisyork brilliant!! We’ve only visited once but that rugged landscape is amazing, definitely need to revisit there.
Noooo I want to buy some. Are they on general sale?
Back from work, just having a bit of dinner and watching! Gotta love wales for its stunning beauty.. great news for your relocation, hoping you find the perfect property! I absolutely love camping like this.. fire 🔥 and 🥩!
It’s a bit late for dinner, you should be eating your tea by now 😉
It’s an amazing location, fire, beer & food is the perfect solution for relaxation, especially next to the river 🤩
@@Professionalmoochers oh yeah, I live with a Swedish person and they have instilled dinner in wrong place… so I’m absolutely scoffing my tea now! 😂😂
@markplenty2631 😄😄😄 good lad!
I can't believe you still haven't got a 'dicky sac' for the doggy doos.... absolutely game changer!! .... keep up the great vids!
@@BobMasters-vx7qb acts as a hand warmer 😉
Hope all goes well house wise for you guy's, great looking wee site.. 👍 Cheers 🍺🍺
Thank you 🙏🏼
It’s a beautiful site, sitting by the river is awful for filming but great for the soul 😄
Welcome back both. Missed your walks and banter . Well done 👍
@@ashholdway5522 thanks Ash 😁
LOTS more to come, although not as often until we settle into our new life 🤩
Good luck with the new house and move it will be fine. We are both doing the same. House goes on the market in the next couple of months. Moving from Kent to Swaledale North Yorkshire. Hope to catch up on our travels. Thanks once again for the great content
Yorkshire is special!!
Good luck with your move 🤞🏼
@@Professionalmoochers Thankyou
We were there last week! Little hidden gem of a campsite! Feel like we may've inadvertently been mirroring you; Ceiriog was our last stop returning home from Lakes 100. Good luck with the move, guys. Always enjoy your vids.
Small world!! It’s gorgeous isn’t it 😍
What did you think of the lakes100?? We absolutely loved it.
Jaw-droppingly beautiful. Mother Nature, in Autumn especially, at her finest. Not religious here, but aren't we just so blessed in this country to have bite-sized portions of everything the rest of the planet has to offer?! Keep on Moochin' (house move allowing)! Wishing you both everything you secretly wish for yourselves.
Just a wee bit wet!. Hope the move goes well when it comes, don’t leave us all hanging too long for your next trip.
It’s a Welsh summer 😄😄
Cheers Jason, hopefully we’ll be out a few times before we’re off to our new home 🤞🏼
Yep. great place, some good pubs & decent fishing😀
I noticed the fishing club signs.
Is it mainly trout around there?
@@Professionalmoochers Yes, when I retired in 2009 I fished the River Ceiriog almost every week for three years & had trout to 1.5lb. There is a good fishery, Chirk Fishery that is great. Check out the fab dinners at The Swan at Pont Fadog, nice walk for the dog also. I live in Hawarden & still manage the odd trip to Chirk👍
I’ve heard the swan is worth a visit 😍
I haven’t fished for years but think I might check out some local spots, see if I get the urge again.
Thanks 👍🏼
Welcome back guys.
@@alanbenham4139 thanks Al 👍🏼
Great news for your move everything will drop in to place im sure ,🎉
Thanks Joe 🤩 let’s hope so, as we’re super excited!
Beautiful part of the world. Stayed at the Hand in llanarmon several times. Wonderful 😊
@@jbrislen1 ooo how’s the food there?? We definitely want to visit there, heard good things 👌🏼
Absolutely beautiful. And the breakfast?? Well!!!!!😘
Perfect! Definitely be visiting there 🙏🏼
Brilliant 👍
Thank you 🤩
Your videos are not frequent enough!! 💚
😍
In a perfect world, we’d be travelling every week.
Nice one. 🙂
🙏🏼
yer back ! 😁
@@DanHeywood92 I’m afraid so 😂
@@Professionalmoochers exciting news about the house. Buzzing for you !
@DanHeywood92 thanks mate! nothing is certain until we get the keys and celebrate with a beer 🤞🏼
Most candles are not good for the respritory system aswell so be careful in your pickings. I stopped over in some valley in Snowdonia a free carpark in the woods with a long valley walk. It was called Bont Y wernddu. The rain did keep me awake al ittle when it falls from the trees onto your van.
Thanks James, makes sense. We’ll only ever use them outdoors to be honest.
That sounds ideal 🤩
Great video mate. This is the first of yours I’ve seen and I love it! Very inspiring and love the little gadgets you have.
I see on the back of your chairs you have some organiser type thing hanging off the back. Could you give me some info on that please.
Look forward to your next vid! 👍🏻
Thanks Martin 🤩
Do you mean on the back of the driver seat? If so, it’s made by a company called Brandrup 👍🏼
Alan does love his gadgets from what I can see. Just wait till you see his special brush for removing dirt from mushrooms and his knife for cutting into bags of firewood. This time, as well as the great power bank, it looks like a hurricane lamp is the latest addition.
@OoovAvooO 😂😂😂 the Feuerhand lantern is a MUST!!
It’s really well priced, gives a great ambiance and pretty reliable too 👌🏼
@@Professionalmoochers
*Starts Google search for lanterns*
Hi .cool video..could you give a link to the campsite please ...looks beautiful 👌
Thanks 😁
It’s a beauty isn’t it?

Lovely campsite. Ken always fancies a 4x4 and a bit of off-roading 😊 Good luck with the house move ❤
If Ken decides to treat himself, call in so I can get a passenger ride 🤩
Thank you 🙏🏼
You think your Bratwurst was bad..? Ruth and I fried up some Spam with our scrambled eggs yesterday. Ruth even said, '...can you imagine Alan's face if he saw us. I bet he's got a Tomapork on the go!' As such, I'm quite chuffed you've ended up with pretend sausages in 50/50 bread. We call the Llangollen aqua duct, Frontcyclelight around these parts BTW. 👍
Well, we’re also no stranger to fried spam with egg but the real spooky bit is, yesterday, we did actually have an ex dairy tomahawk!! The best we’ve ever had 😍
If I was sober, I’d have attempted to butter the outside of the bread, wrap it tightly round the sausage and toast it but, loosely folded had to do 😁
Frontcyclelight sounds easy, that’s what it is from now on 👌🏼
Hi, Guys could I ask which axe you have and do you recommend it 👍
@@sntoddy1 it’s a Gransfors Bruk small forest axe.
It’s a bit of an all rounder.
Larger axes are better for splitting, smaller axes are better for finer bushcraft work but this is a really good all round tool 👌🏼
It’s not hidden anymore they will flock in and spoil it
@@lweleven3423 😄😄 I doubt it, there’s plenty to go around
