- Carol has a hair wash before we head into Amlwch for breakfast. We have a walk around the harbour and visit the Sail Loft Museum.
Back at Parys Mountain the weather finally improved and we could enjoy the beautiful colours in the evening sun.

Aldi brown and ketchup. Plastic bottles safe in the van😂👍🖐️
Absolutely lovely looking place it looked quite foreign in some of the clips. The two of you ate well that day lol. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Best wishes back to you 👍
Wonderful video, as always. Thanks for sharing!
Stunning drone shots at the end …. colours in that late light. Jane will be all over this video when she get back from up north … loves practical stuff so the hair drying will be a topic
Cheers. The drone was busy that day. I thought it would be easy to follow Carol on her walk from the air. I couldn’t find her and we had radios. It’s easy to get lost up there with so many paths 👍
That drone footage, along with the music, was sublime! 😌
Thank you 🙏
Scissors on a Swiss Army knife for the sauce sachets.
Great idea, thanks Richard 🙂👍
I was going to suggest the same they last for years.
@@LifeistooshortCK we have a small Swiss army knife on our key ring - surprising how often we use it
Still binge watching!!!! You're my evening relax time!!
Good to hear. Thank you ❤️
I thought I would comment before I saw the video, just to be first. I know the video will go good anyway - they always are. I will watch it later.
nice one
Well that is one way to be first. We appreciate your confidence 😁👍
Actually Ken a mountain is any above 1000 mts Snowdon being 1085 mts Hope you don’t think I’m being pedantic I’m just inspired with your video content it’s very professional 👍🖐️
No I don’t think anyone is pedantic pointing out facts 👍
Breakfast looks good
It was 🙂👍
Hi Ken and Carol I absolutely love the footage from the drone and your music choice Melissa from Adelaide Australia. 😍
@@melissabyrne3633 thanks Melissa ❤️
Love the tips and tricks as always. Good to know what tech others use for vlogging and backing up devices
Hi Liam and Janine. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you are both well 🙂
Don’t get a Gnarbox 😏👍. They cost a fortune, not worth the money and you could get a sack load of memory cards which are easier to use and hide against theft (god forbid 😱)
Many videographers I follow use LaCie external hard drives.
Yes, they are good 👍
I prefer to comment last then I know I’ve had the last word lol 🇮🇪☘️ UP WEXFORD
👍🙂
It definitely is easier to wash the hair if you have a short cut and not long thick fuzzy curls. And a second person to hold the showerhead and ensure the water doesn't get everywhere helps too. As a single female small camper user (Dacia Dokker) I speak from experience 😉
I feel your pain lol my hair is long and really thick, no curls though worst luck, just wavy.
Carol used to have a shoulder length bob which took a lot of styling. So much easier to manage short hair in the van 🙂
Always love your videos, you inspired me to buy a campervan & its been such a great experience. Keep up the good work!
Great to hear! Glad you are enjoying your campervan 🙂👍
They should have a hole puncher on the table for the packets of sauce. Or buy yourself a small Swiss army knife with a pair of scissors.
Great ideas Chris, thanks 🙂👍
We are still working our way through your back catalogue of videos. We absolutely love watching your content. Ken, Carol & the Little Red Van are our current ‘go to’ TV. We watched a Q&A earlier, We were convinced you were Ex Army Ken and Carol a teacher… how wrong were we, thank you for your service Ken and we hope you and Carol continue to have an amazing retirement. Amy Paul & Ted (the dog 🐾)
Thank you for your lovely comment. Funny how a lot of people think we were teachers 🙂 Best wishes to you both and not forgetting Ted 🐶😀👍
@@LifeistooshortCK it’s that lovely calm manner you both have with a touch of authority. We don’t quite sit cross legged watching, with fingers on lips but we do take on board your wisdom. Your are educators in your own way! Ted says thank you and night night! 🐾 happy travels
One of my favourites. I love seeing the detail of van life, the harbour looked fab, and there is nothing worse than a cup of tea that doesn't arrive quickly enough!
Thanks for watching Euan 🙂
Felt as if I. Was.thetl🔕📣🎹
Thank you so much Carol and Ken - I’ve pretty much binge-watched all your back catalogue and nothing more enjoyable than spending an afternoon with you both. Love the vids and am so grateful that you both share your lives with us all. Can’t get enough of campervan vids, and, for me, yours are a country mile and head and shoulders above all the others. Thank you. (tiny feedback if I may - watched loads of other vids whilst you were preparing this new one and couldn’t remember you were on Anglesey - might be nice to mention it in each vid where you are for old people like me who can’t remember!! haha) x
Thanks so much for watching Sheila. You make a good point about remembering to mention where we are. We will have to remember to include that on future videos. Thanks for pointing it out 👍😀
Great team work as usual .You make the whole campervan experience look so easy. Stay safe, cant wait for next episode.☘Mary and Tommy.
We do work well together but it has taken almost 18 months to get to this stage 😁👍
So much to love about this video -- breakfast, boats, and buttery smooth golden-hour drone footage. Bravo!
Many thanks Denny 👍🙂
i had a brilliant breakfast in the sail loft (y llofft) this morning-- will return soon
Lovely place 👍
Have you thought of this ? Just watching you open the sauce sachets made me think ! Recently from eBay I bought a mix of those ..brown and red sauce ..mayonnaise salad cream tarta sauce ..vinegar I’m sure barbecue sauce ….just got them for a fun thing I do sometimes .
I thought would those be an idea to have in the camper van .hardly and storage needed and easily opened in the van with scissors ..
It would give you a nice choice of sauces .
Maybe a little expensive but to save space maybe worth it ….
I paid £7.99 for 50 sachets …. If you fancy it put 8n the search ………. Heinz single potion sauce sachets ….you can buy different amounts …and.individual amounts of each kind …I got what’s called the pick and mix
You could also stick a fee I. Your backpack for when you are out and about
That is a great idea. We are looking it up on Amazon 😀👍
Interested to see your back up procedure. I opted for several SD and Micro SD’s and just keep them in two wallets! Used and ready for use! I don’t edit on the go mind you! I download them to two locations when I’m home before editing! Lovely light at the end on your final flight 👍
I have also switched to the SD card system and look forward to seeing how I get on with it on the next trip.
Great little shower that. That was a breakfast and a half, Ken.
I enjoyed that. Soon be time to diet again 😏👍
Lovely video as ever. Beautiful music throughout
Thanks so much 🙂
Do you make a note of which cafes or attractions you wish to return to in the future?
Not as such but we do keep a campervan log of what we do and where we go.
would the car run out of battery(electricity)?
Only like any other car. We have a separate leisure battery.
nail clippers are small, cheap & will get you into the sauce packets
Great suggestion Ferney and dual purpose ❤️👍
Beautiful video as always. Carol let us know when you have done your cook book ! lol
We certainly will. It will probably be launched next to the discounted items section in all major Lidl outlets that offer free parking for campervans 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK love it
Yes what a good idea, a Cookery Book, just putting together all the recipes just for Campervaning, after all it looks so inviting you get my taste buds going as soon as I see you eat, and that Breakfast looked amazing, that Copper mine looked interesting the colours in the terrain we fantastic, take care U 2, Colin.
We are munching our way through Lidl at the moment so that could be chapter 1 😱😁👍
There's a little split on the sauce packets, it will only open by finding this on the corner and ripping it across. Hope this helps!.
There is but Carol has a special ability of finding ones that refuse to tear 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK lol.....Love watching your vids, I work at Stenaline Fishguard, so loved your reviews of our Pembrokeshire Coastal areas 👌
We came in there 👍
sauce packets... nail scissors
Good tip and we already have them in the van 👍
Good practice for your northern sojourn......
👍😀
Breakfast...when you eat that in the morning...think happy till early evening..!??.(Said by a Belgian)
That is how it should be but sometimes I am bad 😏👍
Watching while having my morning coffee, good start to my day👍 thank you for the upload, interesting as usual👍
Thanks Anita 🙂
Ah the joys of backing up footage, a good discipline doing that after every filming day. You caught the magic hour on Paris mountain, great tones and contrasts 👍
There is a certain amount of luck in filming as I am sure you know from your channel. I was so happy that I got to fly a sunset up there. As for backing up it has to be done but what a pain in the ….😏
@@LifeistooshortCK both my favourite channels in the one vlog. Woohoo
@@nigeldavey1043 we never miss Ken & Carol's videos.
@@nigeldavey1043 mine too😉
Parys Mountain looked incredible from the air with your beautiful drone footage. I'm glad the weather cleared up for you 👍
Thanks Sue. We were so lucky the weather improved in time for the sunset 🙂
I love your Anglesey trip ,its on my bucket list. a bottle of Tabasco sauce will heat up your curry Ken ,just a few drops. Have you tried the chinese curry paste they sell in butchers shops they are fab, put some the paste in a saucepan add boiling water a squirt of tomato sauce and some cooked chicken bring to a boil, and adjust the thickness' to your liking.
Thanks for the tips Allen. I will have to look out for that Chinese curry paste from the butchers 👍🙂
Ahoy Pirates! Loved the cute little harbor and the magnificent dronescapism! :) Coffee making is indeed therapeutic. Wonders you show, keep going, folks! Aye! Bear hugs from Captain of the good old Blackthorne
Thanks Captain 😀
Wow. Don't know what I enjoyed more, the magical colours or the breakfast . Lovely
Thanks Willie 🙂
That Gnarbox is awfully expensive. You could buy a lot of spare memory cards for that price. Provided you label them and manage them it might be a better backup solution.
Funny you should say that. Memory cards are definitely a better option. I got a Gnarbox as it was supposed to be a reliable system that could be used to edit with an iPad. It wasn’t. I think the next IOS update may make it totally redundant.
Oh! That tea and breakfast looked so good! There is nothing like the tea in the British Isles. Began drinking it at my granny’s in N. Ireland many summers on my visits. I would try to replicate it here, but it never tastes as good. I think it is the water or the wonderful dairy products there.
I had to look up what “cream tea” was when you said it. Boy, I would love that right now!
Great video, love the drone shots and how well you cook in your LRV👍
Thanks Suzy. We do take the good old British cuppa for granted and don’t really appreciate it until we can’t get tea bags abroad 😊 You must try a cream tea if you get the opportunity 👍
Great video as usual making me wistful for another camper I’ve had two Hymers and a Pilote in the past but they would be to big for just the two of us and our dog
Trying to convince the Wife we can cope with a pop top hard work at the moment though
Drive safely
Rich and Carolxxx
I imagine it might be. I took a huge deep breath when we sold the comfy big caravan without knowing if we could manage in the little red camper. Blooming glad I did though 😁👍. All the best
Great vlog as always folks, and really pleased you managed to get the drone up at Parys! We were there last month, but only managed to have a very quick walk around as we had to be elsewhere, but always wondered what it looked like from above; brilliant! Cheers for this one and look forward to the next 👍 Mart & Jo
Hi Mart & Jo. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🙂
Love the video as always... must say the breakfast looked amazing... but I still don't know how I would be able to handle the beans though... we usually get more potatoes or some sort of pancake or grits... but I assume you would feel the same way about our breakfasts here in the States...
We love American pancakes for breakfast with lashings of maple syrup. Good job we don’t live in the States or we would be on a perpetual diet 😁
Now, that was a good one. The beautiful small working harbour, the food, the drone work over the old copper mine, the music. Outstanding stuff. Thank you very much. Regards AJ
Glad you enjoyed it AJ 🙂
The drone footage is beautiful. It takes one to inaccessible places, then couple it with the right music and a mood is set. I couldn’t wash my hair like that, Carol, as mine is to my waist! But I’m glad you can. Thank you for showing the different foods that were consumed. Everything always looks so delicious, probably because it is and because you both create an atmosphere of peace and calm. Mary
Thank you so much Mary. Carol had to cut her hair when we got the campervan to make it manageable 👍 Take care 🙂
Amazing the gadgets available. Couldn’t even tell carols hair needed washing
Thanks Marie, you’re too kind 😊
You should recite 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' whilst washing Carol's hair like Robert Redford in Out of Africa.
We will have to check out that clip, great film 👍🙂
Great Vlog again. Love the shower… hope you’ve put a link in for it. I had to wash my hair under a cold tap in a field! So much food again….😵😆
Thanks Michelle. The shower is in our Amazon storefront. There’s a link in the description 😊
Love the brown v red choice debate. Pleased you didn't let me down Ken. I always carry a victorinox class small blade 1 1/2 inches scissors and nail file. Always come in handy.
A small Victorinox sounds like a great idea. That would certainly be very handy 🙂👍
Good morning another great video very pretty little harbour love all the drone footage at the copper mine looked like a different world up there . Dinner looked really good , I am putting my name down for a signed fisted addition of the cookbook :) I need that . Take care always .
Thanks Shaun. There might be quite a wait for that cookbook but we’ll put one aside for you 😁 Enjoy the rest of your week 👍🙂
Your getting very good with the drone footage Ken. Vidal Sassoon and John Frieda better watch out with your hair dressing skills too. Look forward to the next one. Andy.
Cheers Andy. If only my hair cutting skills were as good. I think Carol is planning a visit to the Hairdressers before our next trip 😁
Great to see your calm way of life in the van. Just curious, did you cover gas use and setup in another video? Particularly interested in Europe set up. Thanks
We show an LPG fill up in Ireland using one of the European adapters in this video starting at 05:15 th-cam.com/video/c7e6QTokqt4/w-d-xo.html
Your comment about writing a cookbook was fantastic. I laughed out loud. Absolutely brilliant 👏👌
Glad you enjoyed it Mark 😁
I have a top tip from co-op's, sometimes I do rail work and being on standby involves parking a bus up in very remote locations, I buy the minced beef hotpot and the veg, the veg is fresh broccoli peas Leeks and green beans, the hot pot and separate veg are meant to be microwaved but I use my camping stove to heat the hotpot and a small pot with a little water to steam the veg, lovely meal as you get the minced beef with gravy and potatoes plus the steamed veg.
Love the films that you make, all the best, Graham.
That sounds right up my street. Will keep an eye out for them. Thanks for the tip 👍
Thank you both for another lovely film. I’m waiting for my new conversion due around October, so am grateful for all the tips in the meantime. I noticed you don’t use a table, did your van come with one, or did you decide it was easier without?
We bought one but never use it. We find trays are multipurpose and take up very little room. Our table stores in the boot so by not taking it we can utilise that space for other things 👍
How do you get so many things in your little van , it’s amazing . Love the videos of North Wales it’s a fantastic lovely place to visit .😀👍
It has been a process over several trips working out what we really need to carry and what goes where. If anything isn’t used on a trip it is left at home for the next one 🙂
Didn’t know old mine workings could look so beautiful especially from the air. It might be nice to include some of Carol’s photos, that she takes on her solo walks, in the videos!
Thanks Sandra, we will take that on board for future trips 🙂👍
The breakfast looked great. Made me hungry even this late in the evening. Those sachets usually have a tiny nick somewhere on the long side to tear them open.
Our nicks always seem to be faulty. I think they are actually reinforced just to spoil your day 😏😁👍
I've been watching your video this morning while looking at my NV200 from our caravan and thinking why can't my wife be as adventurous. We are going to the Peaks shortly though.
Carol is more adventurous than me so the roles are reversed in our little van 😁👍. Try bribery 😏👍
@@LifeistooshortCK I will have to. Missing out on this wonderful country of ours.
Crush all your air out of your bottles and screw the lids back on tight it saves space for more rubbish and helps bin collectors 🙂
Will do thanks for the tip 👍👍👍
Forgot to say - well done for sharing the short clip from Camper Vanya in your last video. Another great channel and a brave lady
Thanks for letting us know. Sue deserves more viewers so we are happy to recommend her channel 👍
Indian meal looked delish. My favourite is the spaghetti carbonara, I've made it a few times.
Thanks Frank. Good to know you enjoy the spaghetti carbonara 👍🙂
what a lovely music on the end of the video with a very beautiful drone shots, again a pleasure to watch all your footage, well done Carol and. Ken
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😀
we stayed there a couple of weeks ag stumbled across it we never knew it was there absolutey beautiful we was so lucky weather was perfect then we went to south stack in our little red van ha ha if we had sen you we would of come and said high lovely vids
That’s great Shelley, would have been lovely to meet you and your little red van 🙂
Great video as always thoroughly enjoyed that 🙌💙🚐❤️🙌
Cheers 👍🙂
Now I wish I could afford a van... *sigh* Also - I recognise that coffee grinder. Knock Aergrind, excellent grinder.
No need to spend big money Matthew if you self convert, you can experience what we do by temporarily modifying your car. Plenty of people have done this and it’s a great way to see if you like the lifestyle without committing. We took a huge risk buying our van as we had no way of knowing if we would enjoy it. Thankfully it lived up to our expectations 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Yep, I think the next car won't be a car, it'll be a small van to convert. Nothing I can do in my little VW Up though! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Brilliant drone footage of the mine area; the colours and patterns are awesome. So love how you enjoy your meals. 💛💚
Thank you Michele 🙂
I am very lucky to live about 4 fields away , was my play ground 40 years ago !!!
Very lucky indeed 😀
I love your videos and that you are so free, my hubby and I have just got ourselves a caravan and when we have done it up we will be off and free
Thanks Laura. Wishing you and your hubby safe and happy travels in your caravan 🙂
Another great entertaining video guys love the sunset at the end.thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
You’re welcome Dave, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
The port is where Lloyd's TV advert was filmed👍👍
Thanks Brian. We checked out the advert on TH-cam last night 🙂👍
This vlog is so beautifully put together . Thank you so much ! ❤️
Thanks 🙏 😀
Beautiful pictures of the copper mine lovely colours in the sun set. Another great vlog 🚗
Thanks Sarah 🙂
What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing. 🧶🌈🍓
You’re welcome Jenny. Thanks for watching 🙂
Mine tailings are not conducive to plant growth. Food looks good. Nice drone shots.
All sorts of chemicals mixed up in that spoil I bet.
Hello Carol and Ken, again a greatl video with beautiful places, the harbour looked fab, delicious breakfast....thanks for sharing
.🙂👍
Thanks for watching Rob. They used that harbour at the beginning of the 2021 Lloyds Bank advert 😀
@@LifeistooshortCK okeeeee thats nice to know😊👍....i didn't know this
Excellent drone shots,
Even an old mine can look amazing, thanks 😎
Cheers Douglas. Wouldn’t want to be without the drone 👍
My type of breakfast, lol.
Great drone footage again. A very relaxing vlog great job guys.
Thanks Thomas 🙂
Love your videos ! And the breakfast reviews ...
Thanks Adrian. That breakfast was worth the money 👍
I've got a stainless steel gadget that my eldest granddaughter gave me from a Christmas cracker. It has a bottle opener, corkscrew and knife blade and is shaped like a key and indeed is a keyring. The knife has a wicked point and I spear the sauce pouch in the middle and then fold. You get all the sauce out easier than from cutting a corner and it's less messy. Incidentally I can see you don't have anymore trouble than I do with washing your hair Ken. I guess yours , like mine, gets washed every time you wash your face. Beautiful colours in the spoil heaps surrounding that copper mine. The aerial footage really shows it off. 👍
Good tip on the sachets. A middle poke with the mini bayonet sounds a good strategy. We are the same Nigel my flannel does hair and everything else 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK they don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring. 🤣 I shall forever have the image of Jonesey's cold steel every time I use a sauce sachet in a cafe now. 🤣👍 oh and a Biryani is my kind of curry and that's a good way to do it all in the one pan from a packet and a tin. If you want it hotter try tempering some madras curry powder in a couple of knobs of butter before you put the rice in. 👍
@@nigeldavey1043 wish we had thought of that. We had some Madras curry powder with us in the van 🙄
Thanks for sharing, Carol get Ken to man up and have brown sauce lol take care 👍👍
I will eat brown sauce when Carol starts eating English mustard 😁👍
Life is too short That's not a good deal Ken lol
Don't want to be a pain but what was the place looked fantastic
Do you mean Amlwch Port or Parys Mountain?
It almost looked like dune on dune to make Paris mountain.
Whoever was in charge of tipping the spoil didn’t seem to be working to a plan 😁👍
Another great video, stay safe both of you. x
Thanks Linda 🙂
Always brilliant video and honest
Cheers 👍🙂
I love the music in your videos.
Cheers Larry, secret is to play something that doesn’t disturb the neighbours 😁👍
Yet again, enjoyed by i xxxgreat
Thanks John 🙂
Great video and footage carol and Ken 👍
Cheers Rod. Hope you are well 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK doing good 👍
This is just ACE!! Kudoss
Thanks Aaron 🙂
Lovely photography
Thanks Sylvia ☺️
Lovely harbor!
Thanks Ethan 🙂
Really interesting video! I've spent many holidays on Anglesey, going back to my childhood, but we've not taken the van down there since getting it last year. Will have to put that right very soon! Did you note the height restriction on the car park? Thought I saw 7ft 6 but can't be sure! Thanks & all the best👍👍
Thanks for watching Des. Yes the height restriction at Parys Mountain car park is 2.3m 7ft 6ins.
@@LifeistooshortCK I will still probably take a sharp intake of breath! 😁 But that will do nicely! Thanks for the reply👍
Even if it’s too tight you could always park opposite the entrance. Saw plenty doing that 👍
always fantastic videos views. food yummy 😋 as always, enjoy your day
its sad we lost the football ⚽️ 😢
we had torrential rain here in UK flooding, its still raining now.
im in hospital tomorrow im having kidney stone removed, im frightened.
Don’t be frightened Moira they will look after you. Carol and I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery ❤️
@@LifeistooshortCK
thank you ❤
I don't believe for one second that people are asking for you to do a cookery book ! Lol
We don’t believe it either
@@LifeistooshortCK Found your channel 2 days ago and been binge watching since, the Isle of Man playlist was brill ! Thanks for all the tips and advice.
Brown sauce! Good on you Carol 😊!
👍🙂
