    VAN CAMPING GONE WRONG.. I had the scary fright of my life while van camping in the woods! This wasn't what I expected at 4am while stealth camping but thankfully it wasn't what I thought it was.. Before that scary experience though, I had a great trip in the Wye Valley visiting some beautiful National Trust locations. #vanlife #stealthcamping #campervan #camper #camping

    You need to visit Tintern Abbey in the Wye Valley, it's a really cool place, you can park overnight for a fiver , eat in the Anchor Inn and redeem your parking ticket towards your meal or entrance into the Abbey itself, then cross over the footbridge and walk to the Devils pulpit or find the 1KM Greenway Tidenham tunnel to walk through it! , check online to see if its open. From a fellow vanlifer here in South Devon, a good place to visit too🙃

    Wild really really works! It’s expensive though and doesn’t last long as in you would need to buy 2 refills in a month and they are currently around a fiver each but there is no pong with it at all and the flavours are lovely! Plus the benefits of no aluminium 👍🏽

    Fair play for cracking on with the trip.. Cannot wait to see where you go next, Series one of monumental took me to the wye valley and it`s infamous wooded park up`s - I am pretty Immune to the park up signs, I have the opinion - They can`t actually ask you to move, it`s a cival matter, As long as you are polite and well informed you can park where you want..I think your getting better at ignoring the signs now. Great trip so far and I hope we see matti back soon :)

Love to see your comments when your satnav says 30mph, the road sign says 20mph but there is still a huge 30mph painted on the road. Then again depends which side of the road your on, one side might b 20mph but the other side is still at 30mph.

      I find it bizarre that people try to force bloody steak on those that don't want it. I've always ate well done steak from my local steak house and it's always succulent and tender. Must be doing something wrong if well done comes out as boot leather. I did try a medium once, I didn't enjoy it and I had a dodgy stomach for 2 days, felt really sick and it ruined my meal and weekend. Not everyone can stomach eating blood.

    Brendan, thank you.
    My daughter has been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for about 5 years now following being bullied at school.
    She then suffered with bulimia because of this and then after she beat the eating disorder (thanks to counselling) she did her degree and masters degree while still suffering with her MH.
    He partner then passed away by his own hand which made her spiral again and shes still not had any help regarding her mental health.
    Im going to try these guys and hopefully they can help her.
    Thank you for your videos. They add a bit of light where otherwise it would be dark.
    BTW, badminton is nothing like tennis, the winner is the first person to reach 21 but must win byv2 points otherwise you keep playing until someone wins. If you get to 29 points each then its the first person to reach 30 regardless of the 2 point gap
    A point is scored on each serve and the winner of tha point serves next.
    Stay safe

      Give badminton a go. It's great fun, especially if you join a club.

    I had to laugh about your peaceful night after 2 I've recently had! I was overnighting at a lovely spot in my car camper, high above the Fraser River here in BC. At 1am, I was awoken by party animals!! Not the 2 legged kind though! There were at least 3 raccoons climbing all over my car roof and hood! The scampering a thumping going on!!! I finally used the key fob to unlock and lock the car doors, which triggered the lights to flash and horn to toot. Then they hurriedly scampered off the roof by sliding off the back! Too funny! Then, last night, I was awoken by some rodent chewing on something in my dash. Had to start the car to get rid of that one, as it wouldn't listen to my banging and yelling. LOL!

    One of the things I hear so much about is being woken up in the night by persons unknown.
    Did you know that you can buy a security alarm that sounds off as a large dog barking.
    It's activated, I assume, by a PIR sensor and gives the impression that there is a very nasty dog living inside the van with its owner.
    No self respecting bad guy is going to hang around for long in those circumstances!!

    The guy in the next table asked for a well done steak a few minutes before we ordered.
    When his came it was a tiny bit pink inside.
    My very large irish friend demanded to see the chef.
    When the timid chef appeared my friend asked if he thought the pink steak was well done. .the chef said "Yes sir"
    My friend replied with a loud deep "When you cook mine. When you think you have cooked it...... Cook the fecker again"
    When it finally arrived, it was like a meat biscuit.
