Colin you have absolutely nailed this you tube thing . Your vids are simply fantastic , site tours, van tips, humour and photos combined with a very watchable personality , inspired every time I watch them, cheers fella.
See, chilling out is my idea of camping but for some reason my husband turns into a 6 year old with constant “what are we doing next?” and “you can’t just sit around” - he needs to take a leaf out of your book!
Had to laugh, Col! You told us how you keep the smoke from the van from the firepit and then sat there with a beer, the firepit roaring and the side door wide open! Clearly, a case of dont do as do, do as i say.😂😂 Looks like a great site to visit. Fab vlog.
What another great video, thanks for sharing, I was curious if you deliberately choose camping instead of wild camping, 30 pounds for a night I don't think is a bargain price
Thanks buddy, I do love a good wild camp in the van. I'll be throwing a few in over the year matey. I go to campsites as a lot of people like to see them before they go themselves,.. It pains me to pay to stay in my own van 🤣🤣 as a Yorkshire man even £1 is too expensive for a campsite 🤣🤣!
I don’t know if you’ve ever covered “Hodge close”, but that’s another brilliant walk from cathedral caves and it’s seriously worth a look. If you fancy a challenge go down into the mouth of it via parrot quarry instead of the beaten track 😃
Great video - cave added to my list of places to go . Quality of videos is ace and that image of the van and the stars is magnificent . ( my iPhone could never get that !)
Aah thankyou Colin loved this week's campsite, Your a star man thankyou for your time and videos, I love early Saturday morning coffee toast and catchup of your latest upload. ❤ Bren
Ace mate and must go there, we’ve recently gone solo stove, expensive to buy but almost smokeless and it can double up as a bbq, amazingly the base of it doesn’t get hot so you could possibly use it on the ground. Thanks for sharing again mate 👌👍
Another great find Colin there literally is so much to see in this country who needs to go abroad. Being a pot noodle connoisseur myself I always find a spork comes in handy covers all bases 😊 another great video by the way.
I was waiting for a "Nice"... Nice... Nice..... in that cave. I have never been there, and am now thinking it looks fun for a van trip. Eau de Fire Pit - a new after shave from Yorkshire Pop Top Guy. It could catch on in the campervan, wild camping community. A question - I would love to know the settings you used to take that awesome shot of your van with the stars - I have been trying to do this for a while and only returned very poor results, despite ideas and settings.
Eau, de fire pit 🤣🤣🤣 So the camera settings are pretty straight forward. The gear used is important (not the be all and end all though) I used a Sony EV10 with a Samyang 12mm f2 lens (the f2 is the important bit) Camera settings F2 (12mm) Shuttet speed 10 seconds exposure ISO 2000 Focus to infinity Hope that helps bud
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Cheers, I have a Nikon Df, with an F1.8 50mm lens, and a Leica X with an F1.7 lens - so will experiment with those settings and see what happens. Might have a few nights in Whitby coming up - so will be fun to see if I get a clear night.
is that a camera bag with a pot noodle compartment or a pot noodle bag with a camera compartment ?
You know your content is good when I take time to sit down with a beer and some nuts to watch it on the tv.
Colin you have absolutely nailed this you tube thing . Your vids are simply fantastic , site tours, van tips, humour and photos combined with a very watchable personality , inspired every time I watch them, cheers fella.
Love it , need to let us know on the campsite tour if they are dog friendly 🐾🐺
Noted.... thank you! This site is definitely friendly ;)
Was down in Ambleside a couple of weeks ago, just missed you! Some lovely walks there, went to Rydal cave, pretty cool!
New sub here. Have seen quite a few of your videos. Great vlogs and content.
I've been to these caves a handful of times. Stunning place.
BOO!!!!!! We have a pub in Ambleside too Colin, could meet for another MADri night;) Scott was out on the Onewheel drunk again last night
Colin you are a natural at this, first van channel I’ve followed in ages! Witty, relevant and well edited. Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you!
See, chilling out is my idea of camping but for some reason my husband turns into a 6 year old with constant “what are we doing next?” and “you can’t just sit around” - he needs to take a leaf out of your book!
Boo......hahaha and yes i went off and found something else to do. Another Ace video
I'm new to your channel. Love your stuff...
Had to laugh, Col! You told us how you keep the smoke from the van from the firepit and then sat there with a beer, the firepit roaring and the side door wide open! Clearly, a case of dont do as do, do as i say.😂😂 Looks like a great site to visit. Fab vlog.
🤣🤣🤣 I noticed that in editing 🤣🤣! Ooops!
Nonchalantly!! £30 a night. I wouldn't pay, no way !!
Another great vid, all i want to do now is hike and camp on my own... mrs will not be too happy :D
You need a solo stove Col. no smoke or smelly clothes. They are the daddy of fire pits!
Feckin Boo oor Col and get a wee fan tae blaw away the smoke mate 😂😂😊
Boo! 👻 Great video as always 👍

It pains me to pay to stay in my own van 🤣🤣 as a Yorkshire man even £1 is too expensive for a campsite 🤣🤣!
I’d love to have a Camper van even if it smelt of firepit, cheesy corn puffs or boy farts! Thanks Colin!
Haha 100% (also, mine smells like boy farts 🤣🤣)
Hi 👋 love your vids
Pot holing Noodle
Hi, hoo, haha 😂
Cathedral caves, very stunning location and if you follow the Witcher tv programme, some scenes were filmed in there. Great video again mate 👍
boo👍
Hi Colin 😄
I don’t know if you’ve ever covered “Hodge close”, but that’s another brilliant walk from cathedral caves and it’s seriously worth a look. If you fancy a challenge go down into the mouth of it via parrot quarry instead of the beaten track 😃
Boo! 😂
Hi 😂
Great video - cave added to my list of places to go .
Quality of videos is ace and that image of the van and the stars is magnificent . ( my iPhone could never get that !)
It's not a plasma lighter. It's a taser for small mammals. 😉
😂😂😂😂 noted
Boo!
boo
Another great video , really enjoy them , beautiful place and the shot of the van with the stars is stunning
Safe travels ,Gill & Mark in Leeds
Aah thankyou Colin loved this week's campsite,
Your a star man thankyou for your time and videos, I love early Saturday morning coffee toast and catchup of your latest upload. ❤
Bren
boo, ideally lol
Love the starlit van shot, Slaters Bridge is only a short walk from Cathedral cave and is perfect for a spring or summer picnic and paddle.
That was a pleasure to watch whilst hungover 😵💫
Also i strongly believe you were an Ali G fan at some stage in your past? Am I right, am I right?
Hahaha big up the staines massive 🤣🤣
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures 🤣
Hi I got that far and then further 😂 Cathedral caves looked amazing and I loved the colours. Take care Gill
BOO hahahhaha your friday night information bulletin !!! With beer 🍺🍺 😂😂
What a fascinating place, the cave! It looks as though you have to have good mobility to see it though. Loved the starry photo. Stay well and safe.
Ace mate and must go there, we’ve recently gone solo stove, expensive to buy but almost smokeless and it can double up as a bbq, amazingly the base of it doesn’t get hot so you could possibly use it on the ground. Thanks for sharing again mate 👌👍
Thanks for the campsite tour. We cycled passed this site on Wednesday and thought it looked good - we're looking forward to staying there soon.
Yesss been watching since you started your channel and loved the intro keep it in 😀👌🏼

Epic. Theme tunes back. The kids had a good ol’ dance around the living room. Haha
Another great video. Thank you… time to get planning 🎉
Those caves are awesome. Been going for years and only discovered them the year before last
Great video Col, love the walk you went on , and as for the stars photo it is an amazing shot.❤

Another great find Colin there literally is so much to see in this country who needs to go abroad. Being a pot noodle connoisseur myself I always find a spork comes in handy covers all bases 😊 another great video by the way.
Thanks buddy, you're right. Since getting my van I have seen more of the country than I had in the previous 40 years 🤣🤣! So much to see....
What rucksack have you got? Like the compartments
Hiya, it's the LowePro Flipside 450 mate.... its an awesome bag
Yesssss to the intro 🙌 #Nice
