The Trip That Beat Us Ep12- We’re done

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2022
- We have been recuperating from the bad weather in an AirBnB and hoping that Carol’s shoulder will recover so we can get back on the road. We pick a sunny day to take a walk around the village of Burneside and along the banks of the River Sprint.
The following day we have to leave the comfort of the AirBnB and lo and behold it is raining again! We park up at Arnside for a fry up followed by a quick walk to stretch our legs then head off to our spot for the night at Lakeside at the southern end of Lake Windermere.
The following morning we have booked tickets to visit Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s House. Our tour of the house gave us an appetite so we drive into Hawkshead in search of breakfast baguettes.
Next we need a walk so head up to Tarn Hows for a circuit of the tarns in the beautiful afternoon sunshine.
As the sun starts to set we head up to Walna Scar. A hair-raising ascent and forecast of driving rain for the next few days is enough to make up our minds to head home. Only 5hrs 38mins if we take the M6 toll road!
This episode was filmed 27th February to 1st March 2022

Excellent! ❤️ That trip was wonderful to watch despite the weather! Personally I love a good storm! I know you both do as well but it seemed a bit too cold. Anxious to hear about Carols shoulder but realize you need a break! Well wishes to you both😘
Hi, Simon and Maria from Ireland here, your trips are fantastic watching, you visit some lovely places, and you give a great coverage of van life, making incredible memories as you go, and seeing so many beautiful places,
You ever coming to Ireland? Al our very best🍀

We will be returning one day to explore more 🙂👍
Take care xx
Thank you so much for all your videos...so far! :) Enjoy your break away from all your hard work filming, editing, choosing music....I have really appreciated every episode and look forward to your return!
A fourteen day trip in winter is an accomplishment not a defeat !
Thanks Carol and Ken for taking us along.
You’re welcome. Thanks Jay 🙂
Your storytelling, editing of clips, visuals, narration and use of music really is top class. Add to that how likeable you both are, makes this channel essential viewing. Thank you, and sorry the trip ended earlier than anticipated.
That’s very kind of you, thanks Richard 🙏
Hello Carol and Ken. I enjoy this vlog, even more as it is your last one for a while. Thank you for all the effort and enjoy your break 😁 👋
Thanks Anita 🙂
I throughly enjoyed this series .
storms ,floods ,snow wind and rain make for memories in their own right .I’m sure it’s a trip you will reminisce over many times …..and lovely to hear my favourite music again
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Another super series, hats off to your tenacity I wouldnt have lasted 14 days in those conditions. 🎉🎉
Thanks Gwen. It did put us off camping in the winter but tempted to try it again this year 😁
JUST LOVELY PEOPLE BIG BIG THANK YOU.
Thank you 🙂
We used to go to Arnside for caravan holidays when I was a child. We children were warned about the quicksands but played on the “beach” anyway. Another year we stayed for a week in Hawkshead, it was so hot that the tar was melted on the roads. Strange that’s what I’ve remembered for probably 60 years. Went to Tarn Hows too. Thanks for the memories.
Glad we could bring back some happy memories for you Angela. Those must have been such great holidays 🙂
Haha there you have Newfoundland and Labrador in the one (the dogs) ❤️ great video
The sky looked good for the morning finally.
Carol, thank you for the maps inserted.
You’re welcome ☺️
Another great video guys, I was up there in April, like you I was surprised 50p for a wee, that's really taking the p......
That cottage was amazing inside, well equipped and decorated with no expense spared. One tense part of the otherwise relaxing video, was the steep hillclimb expecting something coming down the hill. Fantastic series! Great adventures.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I know it is past days. But I’m so sorry Carol had shoulder troubles. I love Air B&B’s and so far, have not been disappointed! I know by now Carol has healed! PS. Adorable crazy dog!
Thanks for your concern. Yes, Carol is much better now. We love AirBnBs too 🙂
Love the Air B&B’s. It so nice to be able to do some cooking and washing. Much better than a hotel to me. Lovely series in spite of the gloomy weather. This is the second time I’ve watched it, and as usual, saw things I missed the first go around. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching, again 😁👍
If you get up that way again Handsome Brewery that you passed brew some beautiful beer.
Good luck on your summer travels and can’t wait to see your videos on your return.
Shame the brewery was closed ☺️ Thanks for watching 🙂🙏
What a beautiful house on the Hill Top.
Lovely photography thank you for taking us with you. Have a nice rest but please do come back x
i'm still amazed at sharing one lane. thanks for sharing!
Great as always x Thankyou 🙂
14 days in that weather was enough for anybody. Well done
I really enjoyed this adventure and 14 days is a long adventure in my mind. We usually do weekends, a week or 10 days. I hope you are both fit and healthy. Looking forward to your next adventure. Take care Gill
Thanks for watching Gill. We are both fine and enjoying our break ☺️
Spent my day driving into and around the Amish countryside looking for strawberries to make some strawberry and banana jam. Not many to find. I was put on a list for maybe 2 weeks. Great adventured that you shared with us. Thanks
Thanks Marie. Good luck with the strawberry hunt 🍓🙂👍
Well you both deserve a rest although I will miss you and your wonderful videos.
Thanks Larry 🙂
Nice vlog ken and Carol. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome as always Grumpy 🙂
Thank you for taking us with you. Always beautiful and we watch every one. Hope Carol, heals up. All too familiar with shoulder problems. Pain it a rough journey. Be blessed.
Thanks Terry 🙏
Lakeside was a beautiful park up.
An excellent 14 days. Don’t blame you for going home with that weather on the way.
You are true champions and much
Admired. Waiting for the next
Adventure.
Thanks Richard 🙏
What a shame for the horrid weather. The scenery was beautiful, though and I would love to see it under sunshine skies for sure.
Get the right weather up there and it is amazing. Having said that it still is an amazing place in any weather. 😁👍
In spite of the weather that still looked like a great trip and you both just got stuck in, with the help of a bacon sandwich or two! The Lake District is a fantastic location and I loved the footage of Hill Top. I’ve passed it many times but I’ve never been in because it’s always so busy. I think now I will definitely make the effort to go. Thanks as always for sharing a really interesting and professional video.
Thank you Sylvia. We appreciate all your lovely comments 🙂
Thanks so much… enjoy your break., hope to watch your next adventure.
lovely green and mint old car in that driveway
Epic journey, you showed us many interesting areas... Thank you
Your mention of Sir Donald Campbell reminded me of a our van trip last year in Australia. We travelled over 18000 km and one of the highlights was visiting Dumbleyung in Western Australia where Sir Donald Campbell made his world record in 1964 on Lake Dumbleyung
Didn’t know about his record at Lake Dumbleyung. He certainly was courageous in his record attempts.
Enjoyed this series. I am a quilter so I paused the video at Beatrix Potters place to have a good look at the quilt on the bed. Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it Glenys 🙂
@Life is too Short
Some very nice locations Ken. Sorry to se it finish. Loking forward to the next one.
Thanks Rupert 🙂
Thank you again Ken and Carol. I love the little things you notice like the spider and the cat in the sun. It’s those things that make it real and also relaxing. Have a good break and come back when you feel ready. All the best- Sarah
Thanks Sarah 🙂
Great Trip have a good break 😁
really enjoyed that wee vid of you folks, keep her lit.., PS good driving skills, but you were lucky a car even a walker was not coming balling down the hill would have defo killed your momentum in low gears. good stuff x
To Ken and Carol watched all your videos thank you very much I have really enjoyed them can’t wait for the next one
Shaun
Thanks Shaun 🙂👍
enjoy video as always, so much to 👀, yummy 😋 food as always.
views and scenery great.
Carol go and get your shoulder scanned, to be on the safe side.
take ❤
Thanks Moira. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
That looked a wonderful place to walk dog's. It looked cosy and welcoming the air b and b. Oh frogs are the bane of my life, as a young girl someone put a frog down my vest and i screamed until my friend got it out.I'm watching this while tucked up in bed. Enjoy your break, but hoping you won't be away for to long. Loved seeing Beatrix potters home. XX ❤️💙
Glad you enjoyed it Margaret. That frog incident must have traumatised you for life!
@@LifeistooshortCK Yes it did and to make matters worse it was still alive 😱 XX ❤️💙
@@margaretconnery7422 yuk 😳
Lake District looks lovely. Hope Carol's shoulder is better.
Thanks Susan 🙂
Cracking last day. Cracking paths and cracking lanes. Thanks. Enjoyed that. Oh, and loved the wrap up sequence at the end.
Thanks Euan 🙂
Thanks! Miss you two. I hope you’re getting ready to enjoy the holidays. All the best,
Susan
We will be back as soon as we have the next series ready. Thank you for the super thanks, it’s much appreciated. ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful lake region.
In the past I commented that your music sound levels were too high to hear be able to hear the dialog. You said you would work on that. Well I here to tell you you got the levels perfect. Very professional. This was the best on yet! Thank you!
Glad to hear it David. Thanks for the feedback 🙂👍
Arnsude and Silverdale are beautiful
Hi. Noticed Ken squinting when driving into the sunlight. I always wear a cap with the brim dipped to mask out the sunlight along with flip up sun shades. That really works for me.
Thanks for the tip Michael, good idea 👍
Very nice montage at the end of this video. This whole series was entertaining. I hope Carol's shoulder is better.
Thanks Philip 🙂
14 day trip in winter is definitely an achievement and it has been great to watch 👍 thanks Carol an Ken
Thanks James 🙏
Merci pour toutes vos belles vidéos, on aime 😊 👍 à bientôt. Au plaisir. ..😉
Merci Muriel. Vous êtes très gentille 🙂👍
Awesome trip. Love Beatrix Potter cottage. I bought the collection of books for my daughter 40 years ago, and now my grandson has them! Our version of red sky at nite sailors delight, red sky in morn sailor be warn. ☺️

...but what a fourteen days they were!!! I am just sorry that my reader didn't bring this to me a day earlier. It was a truly grand finale. Thanks K&C - bring on the next lot 😄YAM xx
Thanks for watching, YAM and all your lovely comments ❤️
Beautiful spot! I don't think I could drive there! Your roads look more like our bicycle paths.🤣
Great videography!!
The Bobbin Mill was once owned by my husbands 3 x gt Grandfather Jeremiah Coward. We often travel from Suffolk to Ambleside to do family history research.
Wow, how interesting. We really enjoyed our visit and guided tour of the bobbin mill when we visited in 2017 🙂
beautiful scenery, food looked yummy at the pub. hope her shoulder gets to feeling better, and its nothing serious,
Thank you. The shoulder took a couple of months to heal but is all good now 🙂👍
Will be missing your vid. Thoroughly enjoyed all your vid and narration. Have a good rest. Come back soon.
Thank you 🙏
Oh Ken, you old romantic, you and the kissing gates. Thanks guys, a lovely series, shame about the weather, but then it was February. I do hope your shoulder is better now Carol, you were very professional putting on a brave face for the camera when in pain Take care. Thank you 👍
Thanks Simon 🙂
All the best will miss watching you guys hope to see you soon
Might only have been 14 days, but they were certainly epic. Thanks once again for taking us back in time, must be 30 years since we were last in Hawkshead and walked back from the Old Man of Coniston down the Walna Scar Road! Steep doesn't come close!! Take care and enjoy your break. Knowing you guys, it won't be long before we're sat watching you with a cup of hot chocolate. 😉📺☕🐕🚙
So glad you enjoyed it. Take care guys ❤️
Seems more like natural end than being beaten. Looking forward to seeing your travels aboard sometime
Really enjoyed this video. I went to school at Casterton near Kirkby Lonsdale and later we used to have a caravan at Hill of Oaks and then a holiday home, a little cottage in Bowness so I know the Lake District well. It’s been a lovely trip down memory lane, it’s a beautiful part of the world.
Glad you enjoyed the trip down memory Lane. It is indeed a beautiful part of the world 🙂
I did reply earlier but it hasn’t appeared! 🤷🏼♀️ if you go again you should visit Kirkby Lonsdale, it’s a lovely village, some great walks, Devil’s Bridge, Ruskin’s View. Also just up the road on the back road between Casterton and Barbon there’s Barbon Terrace, a really quiet spot at the side of Barbon Fell, which is also a great walk. We used to climb it early and have breakfast at the top! It’s a narrow track but there are recesses where you can park, overnight too without issue, great views. Barbon is a lovely village too, good walks, packhorse bridge and the Barbon Inn is an old traditional pub. I filmed this video a few years ago, on my return journey from Barbon Terrace to Casterton. Casterton School is where the Bronte sisters went and is the school “Lowood” is based on in Jane Eyre.

PS: my previous comment included a google maps link, perhaps that’s why it didn’t publish? I’ll try again in a separate comment.
Yes it doesn’t like links outside of TH-cam. Here are the coordinates of the parking spot that you can put into any maps app. If you go onto street view and turn to the side you’ll see the recessed area...

Brilliant travelogue series, really enjoy your footage - the journeys, towns/villages and landscapes plus your awesome narration and conversations. Covid scuppered my travel plans to UK, it's been wonderful to have discovered your channel and I have watched 80% of your channels content living vicariously through your playlists. Thanks Carol and Ken.
Wow, thanks for watching. We really appreciate your support 🙏

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for sharing all the great scenery despite rain, wind and snow!!!! My congratulations to both of you, enjoy your well deserved rest at home before starting out on the next adventure...Keep safe...
Thanks Diana 🙂
I'm so glad you enjoyed this trip in spite of the weather. I did too. There were some great tips as always. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Carole 🙏
Thoughourly enjoyed this series, it's funny when you know your done with a road trip 🙌 I think having a home to go back to makes the decision easy and especially when the weather sets in, that's what we've found anyway. Thanks again and will be looking forward to your next adventures 👌
We are always grateful we have a home to return to so we can start planning the next trip 😁
Another great series to add to your playlists and very enjoyable to watch as always.
The longer outro I suggested is beautifully done and I can now click the like button in plenty of time on the old smart tv. Well done 👍
Thanks for that 🙂👍
I Always think its sad when its time to head home but you have done very well on this trip having encountered all weather conditions and the cold days, and as you have to improvise in a small van it takes some planning, although you are well organised, but i think it can be tiring as well being on the road for long periods, It brought back memories for me this time as I know the areas you covered so well, look forward to new videos in due course, enjoy your break, Regards, Colin.
Thanks Colin 🙂
@@LifeistooshortCK Can I just add I think the Music you chose for this video was really atmospheric especially towards the end when you decided to make for the M6 and Home, Regards, Colin.
Hi Ken and Carol, another great vid in a wonderful part of the country. Enjoyed it many times, sometimes even without rain. All the best. John
Glad you enjoyed it John. Thanks for watching 🙂🙏
George the dog in the red van! Too funny! Love your videos and touring with you two. Thank you so much for them, and now it is time for you to go home, relax and take a break.
Hope Carol’s shoulder gets better soon.👍Cortisone shots work wonders for certain causes of joint pain.
Thanks for watching Suzy. George would certainly be a step too far for our little van 😂
Thanks for your great videos Carol and Ken! Hope your shoulder is better Carol? Enjoy your break. Looking forward to seeing where your next trip is going to take you!
Carol’s shoulder is fully recovered now, thank you 🙏
This video is so well put together I’ve just randomly come across it thanks guys 😊
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed every moment of your travel. So much to see and learn from the both of you. Please don't take too long to come back. Already miss you both LOL 😩
Thanks Jenny 🙏
i was thinking, if this is February, then i do hope Carol's shoulder is better and/or been looked at. didnt realise the time span before, on the other vids. Have a good break and all the best from New Zealand. collin xxx
Yes, Carol’s shoulder is much better now, thanks Collin 🙂
Really enjoyed this one. You just know when enough is enough. Better luck with the nxt, stay safe
Thanks Steve 🙂
