- WE HAVE ADDED A "THANK YOU BUTTON"
We are aiming to take less sponsorships this year so that we can consentrate on creating campsite reviews and informative location videos for you lovely lot.. However, creating these videos is costing us more than we make (which is very little considering the time and effort it takes) and as much as we love making the videos we have to try and at least break even to cover the costs of the campsites, fuel and other associated expenses. So we have recently added a "thank you" button to all our videos. You can completely ignore it and continue watching our content for free (it will always be free, forever) or you can donate as little as £1.00. We will give a little mention to anyone who donates too :) Stay awesome you lot...
Here is my little video of my visit to Upper Hurst Campsite in the Peak District including a walk to Thors Cave and a second attempt at not burning my potatoes on the campfire...
Here is the link to the walk

Enjoy!
Epic - cracking site by the looks and some great bits of scenery ….loving the outtakes …dropping the beer 🍻 I was laughing out loud! Thank you, another cracking vid
Fun video - looked a good site and walk. The key to cooking on a wood fire is to cook over glowing embers, not flames.. Thats where the heat is!
i think the call of the wild was the Beer Gods - displeased with your maltreatment of the hoppy nectar 😠 Great vid/content
Brings back memories of my parents going there 👍🏻, Brilliant one Colin
Nice one Colin, used to camp a lot around Thor's cave/Wetton Mill area, think I'll go back after watching this👍 be happy.
Erm is not the problem it's the laugh at end of every sentence lol
Another great video really like campsite videos👍
The outtakes 😂❤
Love how you get everything out, ready to make your dinner, then straightaway sit down with a tinnie! 😂🤘
Won't can i say drop in your beers, butter fingers, Colin you make me laugh so much you R a star keep smile look forward to next video ❤️to you and your family 🍺🍺👍
Welcome back Colin! We love your adventures. Interesting you said how busy it was, we've just come back from a weekend in our T6 in Somerset and the site was busy and that was our B choice because the A choice was fully booked in Feb #nothalfterm! I guess the world has discovered the joys of the outdoors. Thanks for the inspiration, even our 7yr old does 'see ya bye' and 'nice and snazzy' you're a Campervan Legend! Cheers
What a breath taking views, I need to travell up north and go there, love what your doing with the channel, keep it up, and look after yourself take care
Great video, campsite looked well worth a visit.Walk was very wet by the looks of it.
The outtakes were hilarious,specially when you were trying to get your potato out of the firepit 😂
I've said it many times your videos are awesome, but i have to say your outtakes are bloody hilarious 😂😂. Nice one Colin and thanks again for the cupboard shelf link earlier 🤙
Lovely campsite, we were in the burgundy and silver VW California, next to you.
Ah that's such a lovely van... Hope you had a nice time
Ohhh you looked cold on that walk Colin. But lovely site and an amazing area. Fires do their own things sometimes they work sometimes they don’t … but it looked to have taken off when your family rang.
Great video as always
Rachel, David & Roxy
Looked so cozy in the van Colin. Can’t wait to get out in mine. Loved that you were having to be quiet, hilarious. 😂
Dirty weekender stole the show for me. They really stand out from the sea of beige!
Pains me to say but the renult was a good looking van too
Thanks for the excellent video 🤙
I totally agree matey...
Great vlog mate, looks like a really nice site so may give it a go this year. Keep up the great vlogs. All the best Bryan and Dawn Mr&Mrs_H_on_tour
Brilliant walk and site review. You definitely earned your beer. Loved the out takes 🤣
We stayed on that exact same pitch a few years ago. We were disappointed with the size of the pitch for the money as we had given them our full dimensions including air awning. Other than that it’s a lovely site in a great location. Loving your Vlogs by the way 👍
Love your videos and enjoy your walks it’s good as we don’t get wet. Like your campsite tours may I make a suggestion that you show on the map where the campsite is. I think it is good that you show the facility’s to help us make decisions about sites to visit 👋👋👋
Yo Colin.
I absolutely love your new line up for this year.
Brilliant idea mate reviewing campsites. Me and the Mrs are looking forward to watching your lakes campsite near the honister pass when you upload it to TH-cam. 👌
Great video Colin, loving the new site reviews and walks keep it up.
Hey Colin. Love your videos. You’re an inspiration. Look forward to every one. Hash tag mental health x
Lovely part of the world Colin cracking vlog mate definitively give it a visit.
Nice to see you so close to my neck of the woods!
Mint vid 💪🏁🏁
Awesome vlog though brother 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks dude ;)
Hia mate, I've subscribed to your channel purely of the great places you go! I will be using your videos this season as a visiting reference, cheers for doing them!
Awesome matey, that's the idea for the channel going forward... Enjoy
Try putting your spuds on the rim of your fire pit, turn them over every now and then
Been to Thor’s Cave a fair few times but have never camped as quite local to where I live but that campsite looks good for a stop over if I ever fancy it! :) Also, you were lucky to get to the cave from the side you did as that climb can be a killer 😅! As always, great vid! 😊
Yeah that climb looks like a monster climb 🤣😅
Another entertaining video Colin. Thank you.
Great vlog, Colin. I tried cooking jackets in my woodburner. They came out like charcoal but I only single wrapped them. Will double wrap next time. Hope the quiff recovered!
A few subscribers sent me messages saying to double wrap them and it seems to have done the trick... Good luck
Hiya thats not far from where we live ..another camp site to add to my list on search for sites 👍 lovely place isn't it and the camp sites not to bad think it's abit dear tho ...glad you enjoyed it being in the neck of ower woods as they call it 👋
Great video Colin, can't wait for next week's video. Honister pass is that the really steep single-track road? quite a scary drive if its that one. Try chili dogs next time, hot dogs warmed in the tin on the fire, pan of chili, hot dog rolls sprinkled on top with grated cheese........ belting.
Thank you... It's actually not that bad, no where near as bad as Hard Knot pass, that's a brute! Honister is tricky but totally doable in the right weather conditions. Drive safe and don't forget to stop to take in the scenery
@Yorkshire Pop Top Adventures Thats the one, Hard Knot..... i took that route once as it was a more scenic one but my god there where parts where i wished i had just stuck to the motorway 😄. Thanks for the info and ill be watching for next weeks video.
Just watched vid this week brilliant made us look it up might pop by tc 🏴
Great to see you coming south and a bit closer to my neck of the woods! What axe have you got for chopping the wood?
This is why we live in this area - such wonderful scenery even when the weather is bad, and endless lovely walks. Thanks for the endurance! Where are the girls and Branston when you do all these trips? 💕🐾
You're so lucky to live there, it's super beautiful. The girls were spending some quality time together while I was away. Sadly Branston can't do the stiles around Buxton (too narrow for him) so I couldn't bring him either :(
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures yes, the stiles are a problem for one of our dogs too !- a lurcher
What a great vlog it has really given me itchy feet to get out there..
Our first trip is not until April in our VDub Poppy perhaps I should do a solo camp sooner.
Go for it, get out and enjoy your van bud, it's pretty quiet out there at the moment (albeit this campsite was pretty full 🤣) get off the beaten track and live life to the fullest
Its gonna be a Wetton....😅 great vid as always
Great video and content Colin 👍👍
Awesome mate great content 👍👍
Another great vid and love the campsite reviews. What wheels size/make do you have and where did you get them fitted? Just the style I am looking for - black I assume or gun metal?
Hey buddy thank you!
I got them from alloy wheels dot com and they are just called gen 2 not sure if they still do them as it was a few years ago now ;)
Take a look at skyeside campsite in the lakes.it’s been on my list for a while now.i drove past it last weekend and the scenery around the campsite is epic.plenty of walks too.
Awesome I'll add it to the list, thank you
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures no problem keep up the good work.
“Didn’t sleep, too windy”. That would be the tinned chilli!
Deffo my fault all that wind 🤣🤣
Nice 👍
Great vid Colin 👍🏻 another one for the list 😂👊🏻
The call of the wild was from a Tawny Owl 'too-wit too-woo'
I prefer "the beast" 🤣🤣🌞
Hiya Colin! Where did you get the magnetic strio for your wine glasses? I remember seeing them on an older video, but can't remember which one! Just got our first van and sorting the essential accessories, obviously this includes wine glasses!
Hey Joe, they are from a company called Silwy based in Germany...
Enjoy your new adventure station
You got to Thor’s Cave and didn’t go in 😳🤦🏼😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I saw 2 couples coming out, every single one of them fell and one woman damaged her arm... I'm as accident prone as it is 🤣 no chance, I'll be back ;)
Mate the all important question....did they get there awning up in the end lol lol
Haha eventually, they had to drive home to get the right attachment
How long did that potato take to cook in that famous fire pit?
Haha 45 minutes was the sweet spot mate 😂😂
Where did you get your walking pants from Colin?
Hiya, the ones in this video are from Amazon buddy. amzn.to/3m3VzIb
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Cheers Colín 👍🏻
