- Thanks for joining us......In this episode, we wild camp our way around Norfolk, Suffolk and Lincolnshire in our converted Sprinter Campervan and locate some epic off grid spots to share with you guys!
Watch as we have a VERY near miss with a VERY low bridge en-route to enjoy our first night fire of the year and sleep on Snettisham Beach.

As the weather turns, take a rainy van day in total isolation, miles from anyone in Lincolnshire.
Head back to Norfolk for a magical walk through Holkam Forest, huge sand dunes and stunning beach.

Choose another beach park up in Suffolk and stumble across the ruins of an old Friary in Dunwich.

sup peoples. There are gps apps out there that advise the height of bridges en route. i am a ops controller in Derby who looks after a fleet of drivers who deliver Rolls Royce engines. They are top boys, with many years experience, so if they can recommend an app for you, pls let me know.. Love the van, and love the layout. if i got a van, it would be like yours minus the surfboards but with added EMTBs. much love. new sub from me
forgot to add.. they are wideload drivers who run at 4.3m tall.
Hey, welcome onboard Phil mate 🙌
I guessed there must be ‘height & weight’ specific SatNav’s out there, just a shame you can’t seem to input that basic info to AppleMaps ☹️
I've watched your videos backwards (started with Morocco) and loved them all BTW. But now i'm here i cant help but panic when i see you driving on the left...😂😂😂. Ive got a T5 camper, hopefully see y'all on the road someday. 😊
🤣 Great to have you onboard Jamie mate! 😉🫶
I am happy I stumbled across your channel, it is pure fun and you guys seem to be really nice people. Greetings from Poland.
Hey, we’re happy you found us too! Welcome along ✌️🥰
I only found your Channel last night. We have an A class motorhome that is now getting on for 21 years young. Some of the places that you have parked up for the night look really appealing as My wife is worried about parking up in certain places and I have found if there is a donation box it turns my Wife into a Happy Camper.
I used to go to Holkham a lot as a young man as I used to live in the Middle of Norfolk. I am now only 7 miles away form the Coast. I have never been into Holkham Estate, to see the House or much of the Grounds, only there Walled Garden about 6 to 7 years ago for there Food and Drink Event.
We LOVE Norfolk, especially Holkham but it’s not an easy area to wild camp (at least, not near Holkham beach).
Also got a soft spot for an older camper or MH. I’d like to think we’ll stick with our own van forever & one day it’ll be seen as stylish vintage. 🤭
Great to have you onboard guys 🫶🙌
I work for RSPB Frampton Marsh and Freiston shore and people love Butterwick car park! If you’re ever in the Boston area, you can overnight camp at Frampton Marsh reserve.
Top tip, thanks mate 👊🏼
Gutted. We live not far from Skegness. If u come over to the East Coast, I keep an eye out and say 'HELLO' 😊
Cheers Mark! 🫶
We’re from lincolnshire , and we’ve been watching you for a while now and only just seen this one !!! Feel sorry for you on our coast! It’s a bugger, though hutoft car terrace was the best until they went and ruined that too 🤣🤣
Cheers guys…Much love to ya! 🥰🙌
Haha you nearly become a statistic of hitting ely bridge.. it gets hit most days by a lorry of Luton van 😂
🤭 We can imagine…Gave us a right old shock! 🤣
Ive been a carer for my partner for 30 years would love to get her away shes agoraphobic .and she dose tarot cards.she help every one but suffers her self .
Good to hear from you Paul mate, all the best to you and the missus 🥰👊🏼
Watch them Norfolk scarecrows!
😉
If you come back to Norfolk go to Wells next to the sea
Crabbing! 🙌🫶
Love it guys. 👍🏻 well done on choosing a time slot and sticking to it. A great way for everyone to know when they will see you next 👍🏻
Cheers chap......We're really enjoying it!
Love the videos. I'm getting a small van in January and gonna built a small sleeping living area in the back for like 1 night maybe 3 nights max trips. I live in Suffolk I want to know all some the best places to stay at night. I don't know where to begin. Love your videos
Cheers Matt mate, best of luck with the van, you’ll love it! I’d definitely recommend the Park4Night App to get you started on the overnight spots 👊🏼
@@OurVanTales thankyou I'm so excited! My main goal is to get to the point I'm set up enough and ready to spend a week just me and the van and the mountain bike up in Cornwall. My favourite place to be.
Thankyou for the recommendation and all the best in your future adventures
Awesome videos and so authentic, a great watch 🤘🏼
Cheers guys 🙌😉
Love your Van life content and the energy you both have, you’re awesome! 💞 some little tips if you want to get more views on your channel...Don’t use red or white text on thumbnail because your video thumbnail won’t stand out. Instead use bright green, blue, orange or green text/backgrounds on your thumbnails to get more clicks. Use custom thumbnails, keep videos to under 15 mins if possible and use less than 50 characters in your video title 🙂 Enjoy your travels! I hope your channel continues to grow and I look forward to more content. 🙌🏼
Thank you!
New to you to ,sure will be watching more👍
Cheers Darren!
Sick video guys! Can’t wait to see the Scotland trip ❤️ have a great time in Egypt Lyndsey ! Stay safe 🙏🏻
Cheers lovelies….First Scotland instalment this Sunday ✌️👊🏼
great mud beach but you are so so lucky you didnt get moved on ...............RSPB throw you off normally . We normally go to Old Hunstanton in the day but camp at Diglea Camping Snettisham
Really? Oooops, I guess we did get pretty lucky then! 😉🙌
Enjoying your travels, beautiful shots on the beach at Holkham. We love Norfolk too.
Can we ask where you got your lovely black kitchen tap from, and is the black staying on? Thanks
I’ll try & remember & get back to you but the black stays on (just a little grazed where it clips in & out of its clasp) Leave it with me 👌
If you can’t remember where you got it if you know the make I will be able to find one. PS I really love your van conversion, the white cabinets with the black ceiling works so well. We have a modern Airstream which has a great interior. But not a good kitchen tap hence my question.
Hey Carl, we had our conversion carried out by Trekk Vans so I’ve left a message for Jamie there, to see if he remembers….There were thousands of decisions at the time & I just hope he remembers better than us 🤪
The ceiling is actually dark stained wood planks applied to a black background & makes a great contrast to the lightness of the rest of the interior 👊🏼
@@OurVanTales I think I’ve tracked one down … looks exactly the same anyway. Thanks so much, enjoy your travels/adventures
Love you guys, just started watching you today, my new favourites. Keep up the good work. Neil 🙂
Hey Neil, cheers fella, it’s awesome to have you onboard mate! 👊🏼
Many many moons ago I worked at the Hotel de Paris in Cromer and much of where you are there reminds me of it. The hotel was M****** but Norfolk is lovely. Oh just seen this is a year old.
Hi mate nice one what is your van front wheel drive or rear , can I ask what size BFG you have and do they rub.
Hello mate, yeah, it’s FWD and I’m running 245 65 R17 BF Goodrich without any rub at all 👊🏼
Ely and 16 ft bank go that way everyday in a lorry train crossings everware
It was a close catastrophe…We learned soon after that it’s frequently hit! 😵💫
@@OurVanTales most round that way are to be fair
Where did you park on the beach in the beginning, I winter camp and that is fantastic 😊?
Hope you enjoyed Lincolnshire. I'm selling my house and going vanlife fulltime this year.
PS the lady is really beautiful.
Ahh, thank you......Best of luck, , you'll love being debt free!
Is your van a self build
Hi Darren, we worked with Trekk Vans in Carlisle who turned our empty panel van in to our dream campervan🙌
Beautiful way of life 😁
Cheers Tim, it sure is! 🥰🙌
Guys we have just got back from a night in Norfolk, we checked out the beach park up and it is epic...also Sandringham which was just stunning, great recommendation guys thanks so much..
Awesome….So glad you got to check ‘em out! 🙌
Watching this I just realised you were parked up at Dunwich about 20mtrs from my self built Ducato 👍 Me & the better half were having a sneaky nap after walking round the priory. Thats also a no overnight camping carpark 🙈
Watched your NC500 vids as we're heading up there on the 23rd April for 2wks.
Nice van too fella 👌
We love Dunwich and would typically park up in the forest round the corner. Have an amazing time in Scotland and hopefully next time our paths cross, we can say hi 🙌
LOVE Bleu-cam, and that reaction to the careless driver 😂😂😂
😉🤭🫶
Subbed up guys like to see how you grow. Love the van
Top man Paul & thank you! 🙌
Hi love the channel, where about sis the beach you were driving on??
Keep up the good work 😁
Hey Ross, I’m thinking you’re referring to Snettisham Beach. There’s a handful of spaces on the edge of the beach beyond the main car park 🙌
I absolutely love you two!!! I always smile watching your vids and genuinely feel happy. With the stunning locations you share, what more could I ask for :)
Now that’s beautiful….Thank you SO much! 🥰
Wow guys....what a stunning place, just added Woody bay to our places to go list
Ahh, good old Woody….Always a dear favourite 🙌
Great work guys, love it 🙌🙏🏻❤️
Cheers Rich! x
Love Holkham. Great videos guys
Such a beautiful location isn’t it and thank you! 🙌
Wicked……subbed
Yesss….🙌
Just found you but I love your adventures! Staying here for sure.x
YESSS!
Welcome onboard 🙌🥰
