UNUSUAL Camping in the NEW FOREST!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.พ. 2025
- This week, we go in search of relaxation in the New Forest. The desire to un-wind in an area notoriously difficult to 'wild camp' in a van, meant we opted for a campsite BUT were pleasantly surprised at just how ‘wild & free’ a campsite can actually be!
Cheap & cheerful AND stunningly beautiful? Yes, it’s possible to have it all.
More information & booking Longbeech Campsite via www.campinginthenewforest.com.
There are life updates for you, Q&A’s and there’s even some pampering work done to the van with a visit to Rogue Alloys in Reading.

Absolutely love that bike, very retro
🫶🙌
Just found you guys I have been binge watching your video of Cornwall you van is absolutely stunning.
Cheers so much, great to have you onboard! 🫶🙌
Well earned break for the two of you and what a fantastic site,definitely on the list of places to stay for next year.
Cheers Pete, we hope you get there & enjoy it as much as us mate 🙌
@@OurVanTales There’s no way we’re not going now Anne has seen a baby donkey…so cute!
Hi both hope you are doing well we have been watching and following you for awhile now great vids n very inspirational i have completed our campervan and now time to get out on our adventures but would love to come on one of your retreats looks fantastic n poss meet you guys is this something that we could possibly do ? Thankyou keep up the great work guys
Thank you & congrats on the build & getting on the road Malcom mate…We have our final van meet & retreat of the year this weekend in Essex ‘The Tribal Gathering’. You are most welcome 🙏🏻
Check out consciousheartwarriors.com and invest in yourself 🫶
I've seen a couple of TH-cam posts where the BF K02 suffers from tyre wear like that, the new K03 which is the new version should deal with uneven tyre wear
I hope so, although I think they’re staggering the release & my size is still some way off. I’ve been getting a good 35/40k miles out of the fronts with KO2’s so still great value either way 🙌
its where I live and its always a magical place no matter what time of year.
So very special…🫶
Hey beautiful people, so the New Forest was my play ground growing up and where I have lived for most of my life, not to far away now. So glad you enjoyed the special space that it is. Oh and thank you for sharing the incredible special space you created for us ladies at the beginning of the video. Much love ❤ and see you all again real soon 😉❤. Ps I wrote this whilst the Rogue Alloy bit was on 😅
🤣 Ok, that’s funny! BIG love back at ya…🫶🙌🤭
What a beautiful location💖 never been there, just got back from our beloved Cornwall💖
Awe, we love Cornwall too! Mind you, we were down there for a few weeks ourselves & only had a couple of days of sunshine ☀️ 😔
Skip to 8 mins for the good stuff 😉
Interested in those tyre pressures, I’m running 45psi on my lwb T6.1 with KO2’s
🤣 🙌
We are lucky to be a 15 min drive to the forest, we are sooooo lucky to have that right on our doorstep . ❤
Must be amazing being there through the all the seasons 🫶🙌
Good to see you back 🫶
Cheers, good to be back 🫶🙌
Had my tyres and wheels from there good lads.
Also hi to you all 😊
Mario! 🫶👊🏼
Lynsey you're just adorable!
🥰🫶
Lyndsey makes a cracking mud guard 😂😂😂
🤣🙌
Love the new Forrest we are lucky to be in Salisbury so only about 30 minutes away
Very lucky, we’d love to spend more time in the area
Another great video
Appreciate that Steve mate 🙌
That looks an amazing spot
🙌
Thanks for the video. Great to see you both again. New Forest looks amazing! Where and how do you book and pay to camp there?
Good point! I’ve just edited the description under the video & put the website in there for you…It’s called Longbeech when you check the different site options 🙌
We're regulars at Longbeech, love it all the little nooks in the trees - awesome site!
I love you guys, but please, don't pet the animals in the new forest.
It may seem harmless but last year a horse and her foal had to be shot because people kept petting the calf so the Mum got aggressive 😢
Hi guys I have just been looking for somewhere in the New forest.
Great timing…Hope you get the chance to check it out 🙌
Was there an upside pineapple at the entrance to that campsite ?
Nah, but is it known for that? 🤭
@OurVanTales i wouldn't know i didn't even know about that place its right next to ocknell where I normally go , its an old airfield if you look at the maps you see the concrete hard standings where WW2 aircraft would sit , its a banging area less that an hour from me , nice channel BTW only just seen you come up on my suggestions
I was always told to measure the tracking with the new tyres on rather than the potentially distorted old ones
Well noticed, but, apparently, the system Rogue have, allows for perfect wheel alignment regardless of tyre wear 🙌
I thought it was a bit strange checking with the old tyres on.
Good video but noticed your reg number changed between the garage clip and the new Forrest? Do you have two vans?
No, same van…Just finally got round to putting on a private plate that I’ve had for years 🙌
How many miles did u do on your old tyres?
It’s my 3rd set on the front. I got over 35k each time previously 🙌
If you value your safety, ditch the scissor jack.
You 2 are great don’t want to see you injured.
I make you right Bob, first time I’ve had to use it & it was a little sketchy, even on some flat wood 🙌
you have a deferent number plate front is kl19 wwo and rear later on in the video it is m7rly
Well spotted…👍 I’ve had the private plate for 20+ years on various vehicles but only just recently applied it to the van in between video shoots. It’ll stay on the van now 🙌
Ko 3 is what you want
Something for next time I think…Not sure my size is even available ’til next year now? 🙌
When will you guys come back to Europe?
We’ll be back in Spain (& Morocco) in the New Year! 🎉 🫶🙌
If you choose to use off road tyres on the road, the wear is never going to be uniform, and when the wear is uneven the noise will be very bad. Expect less than half the life out of off road tyres, unless noise is no problem.
Yeah, I make you right on that but in fairness, this is the 3rd set on the front & they’ve been good for 35k ish each time round so I’m ok with that 🙌
@OurVanTales Not sure I could put up with the noise, and with fuel prices going up next month, that's also something to think about, perhaps? A great help if you go on grass surfaces though.
👍👍🚐😎
🫶🙌
.
Do you guys have any plans for Men only retreat?
Yes we are definitely going to be doing them in the future so watch this space! What part of the country you in? Just out of interest 🫶😉
@OurVanTales Iive in North Lincolnshire. I am a Yoga Instructor and I specialise in Mens Yoga. I would love to help you out at any Mens events that you organise 🙏
You shouldn’t be letting any water run onto the ground in the new Forest guys
Fresh water (no soap) straight from the New Forest tap, thru ours and on to the earth. Doesn’t come much more natural than that Terry mate unless it’s raining. It’s the New Forests very own water going back to source. Not sure what’s wrong with that?
😂
