We love Northumberland, it really is beautiful, and Lindisfarne is no exception, although it does get busy. You did a lot in that one day so Lindisfarne was probably much more relaxing. We really need to get back to Northumberland.
It is a great county isn’t it Helen, was a busy couple of days, but well worth it, looking forward to spending more time exploring Northumberland, hope you had a good bank holiday, we hid lol, off grid tests are going well, so maybe some wildcamping soon.. take care 🙏👊👍🚌🥰
Berwick is my home town and although the main town centre is rubbish the outside areas is lovely. Hope you enjoy your time there and in the borders. Great vlogs
Beautiful video. Great filming and editing. Glued to the scenery. We stayed at a ccc site just a mile along the coast from Seahouses just after we came out of the vey first lockdown. Got the bus to Bamburgh castle and walked back along the beach. I recall 5 miles of lovely sand. Brought memories back. Loved it 🥰 ❤👍
@@TowelsTravels will have to check that one out, don’t normally do club sites as too expensive, but if it is on the beach then it is worth it. Thanks for the info 🙏👍🚌
Thank you Steve and Lorna for making this great video. Before I forget, the way to pronounce Alnwick is with a silent L and W like the name Ann plus ick. I stumbled across two lovely people making a video of the place I was born and later returned to live for a number of years and where I started a family. I have many happy memories that flooded back. Your videoing, editing, choice of music and above all your manner are commendable. The least I can do is to subscribe and thank you both. Keep up the good work and happy travelling. 🍺🍷😊
Thank you graham really appreciate your kind words, I also thank you for the pronunciation we did get very confused lol, glad it bought back happy memories and thanks for the sub and welcome to our little community.. safe travels 🙏👍👊🚌
How do Steve and Lorna and Chancer. This video brought back many memories for me. Before I lost my mum, we went to Northumberland for several weeks in our big motorhome Bessie bessacar. We literally went to every place that you videoed and featured on this video. Up to now, I found it very painful to have memories like this and indeed, its the reason I sold the motorhome as I couldnt bear to be in her any more. However, I watched this video with a huge smile on my face. Its the first time I was reminded of old memories without being triggered and they filled me with joy and not sadness. As you know, I've got Viv-i-van and not used her very much yet, but you have inspired me now to revist places I took my mum when I was a carer and "reclaim" them for myself and make new memories. Thank you so much for the video. I loved it. If this comment waffled on too much please feel free to delete it but my words are genuine and I'm glad to have got to know you guys and your channel. Very much respect- Kenny
I’m honoured to have you as a friend Kenny, so pleased you could watch this without being upset, your kind words are a source of comfort to us, I’m sure you will revisit those and other places you shared with your mum, and make new memories to add to the fond ones you have, I look forward to the day we meet up somewhere, so we can make some memories together, take care my friend, and strive forward, all the best Kenny 🙏👊👍🚌🥰
@@wanderingbychoice I'm so glad I didnt overstep the mark with my comment Steve and I am honoured to have you as a friend too. I very much look forward to our meetup when it happens and thank you for the wonderful reply. Much respect- Kenny
Thanks for this. Really informative as we reaearch our trip up there. Only jist found your channel so have now subscribed to watch more of your travels.
Charming place with it’s military history. Beautiful stretch of beach - brilliant day out. Amazing scenery and ruins. I thought I recognised that castle and caught your note regarding various films using this location. Love the UK for it’s rich history and pubs etc. Great mix of audio, music, use of graphics and informative inserts. Very watchable content. I wanted to say the idea of running two vehicles I was initially skeptical but now it makes perfect sense. Brilliant idea that was. With fuel prices being what they are. Also taking your time too means you’re not at risk of decision fatigue.
Decision fatigue lol, I’ve not heard that before, but your right. The car allows us the freedom to have a bigger living space, and is way cheaper to run, we loved our time in Northumberland and can’t wait to return, currently in Lancashire working our way down south. Thanks for your support and safe travels 🙏🚌👊👍
@@wanderingbychoice decision fatigue is a real thing often experienced by those who are constantly on the move because the budget isn’t there for paying for park ups all of the time and sometimes where it’s free to park it’s either full or not particularly ideal - so they’re driving around looking for a safe spot in their vans looking for places to sleep at night time - prevalent to those who stealth camp in the cities. Or who are only staying at places for shorter periods of time. Vanlifers who experience decision fatigue need time to decompress and will find an air b&b or return to “base camp” aka home/ or similar to just take a break for a bit before hitting the road again. You folks are able to stay in one place for longer periods of time which is ideal. Have a fab time in Lancashire (it’s where my Dad was originally from)
@@Piperdreams yeah it can be stressful finding parkups, we spent hours yesterday finding our next 2 from Monday, but at least we got a site from Wednesday, where abouts in Lancashire was your dad from, we are in Rochdale at the moment 👍👊🙏🚌
@@wanderingbychoice you guys find good spots. And it’s important to plan ahead a bit and equally to also be a bit flexible. Sorry can’t quite recall exactly where Dad was from. He’s passed some years ago so can’t even ask him. I always remember he had a beautiful painting of his family home more like a cottage with this singular attic window. Hope you find a spot for Monday.
@@Piperdreams I’m sorry to hear that piper, sounds idyllic, most of Lancashire is rolling hills and beautiful, we have found a big lay-by for Monday so that will do us, enjoy your day 🙏👊👍🚌
Love it! So many familiar places. I love Seahouses and will often go there for a day out. The beaches on the Northumberland coast are simply glorious. Absolutely huge and hardly anyone on them. The weather looked perfect for you too. 😃 (It’s Annick btw) 😉
Thanks Nikki, such a beautiful coastline, really enjoyed our time in Northumberland, and looking forward to returning, we got lucky with the weather all week, take care 🙏👍👊🥰🚌
Wow! what a fabulous beach! Great for a picnic! I have always wanted to visit Lindisfarne, its on my bucket list too, it looks amazing, thank you for taking us with you! Fantastic trip!
Mary it’s our pleasure, you won’t be disappointed if you go, I didn’t realise it was a real village on there, very beautiful and surreal, take care and have a great weekend..🙏👊🚌🥰👍
The £1 card you bought is good in lots of places including alnwick, pronounced anik by the way . Seahouses and bamburgh just see holiday makers and take the mick. We just park ware you did
Hi Keith, what a great system that is, reasonably priced and we used it it in hexam, wish other councils would take note, really enjoyed our drive around the coast, thanks 🙏 👍🚌👊
Hi, I just came over your channel. Just watched your video. We live in Newcastle and nit really visited Berwick, but now watching your video may just have to. Bamburgh is beautiful .Seahouses is fab, too. The East Coastline is beautiful. That island is the Farne islands get boats out to it. Hubby has dived out there! Thanks for sharing a great vlog. New subscriber here ❤
Hi guys, thanks for finding us, we are loving the NE, wish we had more time to explore, but will be returning on our never ending loop of the uk, your so right about this coastline, just beautiful, thanks for the sub and joining our little community, take care and safe travels 🙏👊👍🚌
Hi Steve and Lorna. That was lovely scenery, everywhere looks better in the sun but that coast looks Gorgeous. Thanks again 👏👏👏👏👋👋👍ps picnic on the beach 👍
Thanks buddy, it’s a beautiful part of the world, had a blast in Northumberland, just got very far behind on video’s, really having to watch the power consumption, my laptop is destroying our batteries, sorry we haven’t caught up on your videos yet, but we will v soon, take care guys 🙏🙏❤️👊👍🚌🥰
@@wanderingbychoice hi Steve, don’t worry about watching us. We churned out three videos yesterday. I’m surprised the laptop is such a drain, I will have to check it out. I really enjoyed the video, you pair really are having the time of your life. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👌
@@grahamgetsabout2672 we like and enjoy your videos mate, lorna even said yesterday, shall we go to Aldi to find some grahams lol, we were surprised by the laptop, it’s the power brick taking 150 watts, and if it’s charging at the same time it’s 240+ . Gaming laptops are power hungry, my gaming pc I built used a 1k power supply, but I’m pleased with the EcoFlow, it handles the air fryer at 1770w and I can run the laptop from that, this week we are trying to see how frugal power consumption improves the time off grid, feel like a mad scientist lol..take care enjoy the coronation, and spoil Wendy, 🥰🙏👊👍🚌
@@wanderingbychoice hi Steve, when you think back just a few years a light bulb was 100 watt. How things have changed, it’s brilliant how you can run the air fryer without mains. I put an inverter in the boat we had just so Wendy could dry her hair 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Graham rules ok 😂😂😂 that’s funny Lorna 😘
@@grahamgetsabout2672 lol we tried the air fryer on our inverter and our 2 x120 ah lithium batteries would last 1 hour while it was running, 😟 very scary 👍
We are in Northumberland in Warkworth right near the castle high free car park but up a bit of a hill to Reece it we in Northumberland until Monday give us a message and we will meet up
Hi guys unfortunately we are in Yorkshire now, how long you staying in Northumberland?. Would have been nice to meet up, maybe somewhere else on the road, safe travels guys 🙏👍👊🚌
Great you are enjoying Northumberland. Not long before I go full time van life. Can I ask you a question? I use a map maker program that allows an animated track of the route but you have an animated map. Do you use a program or something else? By the way most places in Northumberland with wick are pronounced as ick. So Alnwick is Alnick. Goswick is gozick. Now pronounce hums haugh🤣. Most haugh names are hoff . Good luck!
Bet you can’t wait to go fulltime, best thing we ever did,the app I use is called Travel Boast on iOS , thanks for the pronunciation, I will try to remember lol, thanks for your support and let us know if you need any help or advice..🙏👍👊🚌
Well done on a great video. You really captured Berwick and Holy Island well. Thanks for sharing
Hi Craig, thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it, Northumberland is a special place, can’t wait to return. Take care and safe travels 🙏👍👊🏴🚌
