Hi! Me and Mrs M were the grinning drunks in the van with the rooftent, it was an absolute delight to meet you and Mrs H, you are both such lovely people. However my wallet is massively frowning at the ever growing car camp list I've now made in Amazon! Going to watch all your vids for guidance now 🙂
Hey you’ two ❤️ Of course in the edit i totally realised i called your van a transit 😂 And dudes, it was totally awesome to meet you both too - although I am sorry for breaking your wallet 😂 (and thanks for not mentioning my serial killer admission ❤️😂🚗🙏⛺️😁👀)
Absolutely loved this one, mate. It was so funny watching you and Mrs Hobbies, getting drunk and arguing about headspace in the car. I was thinking, "He will be back in the tent in a minute, ha ha ha!" You have such amazing scenery at your doorstep, and it's great to see it with you.
Cheers dude ❤️ I’ll be honest, i really didn’t think this vid would come together like it did - was a weird Weekend for us, so tbh I’m really please I managed anything ❤️ But it was soooo awesome 🙏 and the free flowing gin was a first for a car camp 😁
Was off the grid in a field hut in cornwall over the weekend. Rain rolling hills , books, wine , sheep next door😊 and compost toilet was super nice despite the weather . Just got back and catching up 😊 love your vlogs !!
@@peterhewitson71 thanks Pete, it’s a shame I didn’t get to explore more of the country where the site was, but this is somewhere we will defo go back to as was soooo nice there 😀
A fantastic vid! Some really cool filming / shots on this vid. I must say you are the master of powerstations/powerbanks!!! I also miss my old Zafira B, i had that in silver, yours looks well cool in red in that shot on the campsite! Looks like a fantastic little break and it has made me look forward to our trip this week! Cheers dude, amazing vid. M
Cheers dude - it’s the editing that’s left me behind on watching.- totally saw the thumb for your new toy ❤️ Well- my lil friendship with ALLPOWERS have totally helped That 😁 There was another item in this vid that I’m testing for a review vid 👀
Just came back from my car camp, loved it, I was on picturesque site, I go every year, different times. A really nice place near a river bank. Did some bible reading, lots of walks and felt utterly refreshed. Did get a invasive knock on my car window by a creep in the evening that was also camping on site, he must have been watching my movements. Odd conversation followed, that put me on high alert as something was clearly off with him. Management were great and other sane campers as saw how odd it was. In all my times out never came across someone that made me weary, luckily daylight was on my side when he knocked. Initially thought it was the site warden, checking on me. Despite that, I had a great time. Just got back home. Booked next one out. My little kettle came to use with powerbank as fed up with gas canisters for a night cap, took time to search for one that best suited me. In house Toilet solution for my car, not arrived yet, 😮 but should be here in a few days. Cannot wait to reorganise a bit to put it in for a car camp. I hope you enjoy your next car/tent outing, you could tell you had a few 😂 eye's were dilated lol . I will be using my little tent to chill in on my next camp, use to sleep a lot in tents before going over to car camping, now I bring the best of both worlds when I fancy it. Stay blessed 🙏🏾 solo female car/tent camper.
@@zafiracamper I have heard of this sort of thing happening to a few solo lady campers, but not really from women car/van campers in the UK etc, you never think it will be you. His eyes were completely glazed over, clearly intoxicated with something other than alcohol or was just a complete nutter. He asked 3 times if I wanted him to leave me alone. When I stated yes please. He still stood there. I didn’t get back in my car, until I informed management etc Either way, I didn't take any chances as he was very strange, his vibe was completely off and not in a good way. I speak to many people that are friendly, even on this site, two men came over yapping with me for two days and left, saying goodbye. Plus the group next to me. He was just odd, I told management and near by campers. They were great. I have heard with solo female campers this does unfortunately happen, not often but does happen. In 4 years never experienced it until now. I wasn't freaked out personally, just weary and the fact I had a big group of men campers near me, that said to beep my horn anytime of the night and they would deal with him, if problems occurred, that were sound guys, may have made me feel more relaxed then if they weren't there so close by me. Thankfully I am ok. My cousin thinks he was on the rebound, as he stated where he was located, what van and he had just broken up with his girlfriend. I didn’t care and I didn't ask 🙄 to know. Either way, people need to know boundaries whether like minded campers or not, learn about personal space and to read the room. Hope Mrs Hobbs enjoyed her camp 🙂🙏🏿. I made friends on that site that go regular. So feel better about returning another time.
Lovely job Mr and Mrs H ✌️ Glad you enjoyed that nice campsite, and despite being reasonably close by, I still haven't visited Cambridge! Let me know if you make a return visit to Norwich... I'll treat you to Pot Noodles and gin 😁🤗👍
I can see that Mrs H is a very clever lady, just by the way she didn't sleep in the tent 😂 .. Lovely weekend weather. Lovely video, and you wouldn't think that you had been on the Gin at all 😂😊
@@zafiracamper yes I should, yt is scary 🤣 I have been playing a very small amount, but I have no help so I'm trying to work it all out as I go if you understand me, it's like very very early days, ya know just to see how it all works! I'd like to do something in future on yt but we shall see, shorts are fun but personally Iv always not really liked them, however it's a very easy low budget way of dipping a toe yerhh
Great to see you come close to my county 😁 Very spooky as on the night of the 12th/13th of August my daughter and myself usually go to Dorset for watching meteors but due to myself and the Mrs going to France the end of August I decided that we should go to a site nearer home, perhaps the camp site in Chrishall! as it is pretty dark. Very very spooky! Another great vid. Will you be doing more North of the Thames in future?
Ah you see this site should have awesome dark skies… BUT a rather large farm security floodlight puts paid to that 😭 Well…. Strange you say…. I had the same chat with Mrs H….. maybe the only way is car camping essex is on the cards 😂
@@zafiracamper Damn! it looked so good on the light pollution info site. Lucky for me I have you to check these places out lol. My other option is Nuthampstead to the South of Chrishall at an old WW2 Airfield but we would wild camp or come home afterwards. Essex is good as it has a coast unlike my county Hertfordshire although there are some great park ups here too.
I even tried filming the skies (wildbeare has the same cam as me and her awesome shots are with the ZV1 😱) Prob is it’s an active arable farm, so gotta be security conscious - still Amazing to look at with eyes tho - me and Mrs H spent a long time getting deep man about space ❤️
Dude I didn’t realise you meant the same site - just saw their insta and saw crishall I only know it is Pightle - well in that case, I’m super pleased I’ve given you the low down - you would have been well gutted otherwise. Yeah I need a decent wedge of time to watch her new ones, that’s an epic length vid 😱
Many thanks dude ❤️ It’s a first for me Sony, altho tbh it’s really not happy… I think I got sand in the zoom lens many car camps ago 😱 At some point dude, I will be good and actually meet some fellow TH-camr,s, albeit I deem you an insta run buddy ❤️ I am very very very bad at collabs (as many will tell you 😅)
That did look like a really nice campsite especially with only 9 pitches. Good to see you having a drink. Cheers 🍻 hope you did not get a keto hangover, they are the worst lol 👍
I did think when I was there that you’d love it ❤️will edit up a separate tour vid next week 🙏 Tbh dude, the Apnoea was my biggest problem / still not recovered 😂 Ps DUDE 11k ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Matt, again a fantastic Video, great views and another place i would like to go with my Zafira SRI. I would like to ask you a question if i may, you had your tail gate up a fair bit of the time, would doing that drain you car battery? Even if you turned the swich off on the back light. Thank you Matt, keep them video's coming i love watching the Video and learning from you. Cheers mate. See you on the next one. Keith. Regards to Mrs H. 🙂✌ PS go and get some sleep. 😴
Ooh wait - have you done St Mary’s yet? (Can’t moment when it was) Well, with my zaffy I always lock the doors when leaving them open, this turns lights straight off and won’t come back on again until I open the locks 🙏 and thank you - have defo caught back some of the lost hours since ❤️
Once i drive it get out and lock the door! I could stand there all day locking and unlocking it, but as soon as i leave if for 3-4 mins it will not unlock, i have to unlock it manuly then it will work ok again untill i leave again. Hopfull it will get it sorted out.
Enjoyed this vid as always. That site looked great. I am thinking of buying a zafira as they are in my price range, do you have any buying tips or niggles to look out for? Thanks
Many thanks Wayne 🙏 Well you know I like my zaffy - both as a camper and as a 7seater family mobile :) Mines done really well - has had normal things go over the years. Tips wise. Sadly no. Although it did like that this one had tinted windows… the old boy racer in me 😂
Can you recommend a car 1.4 automatic, for seats that fold flat . Yours is lovely but I think a bit big for me to drive. Plus need for work in the week . Thank you
Yeah Mrs H doesn’t like driving the zaffy for the same reason. If you’re not on car camping FB groups, I’ll post your question on there and see what people say :) how all are you?
Thank you. I haven't a clue about cars. Just lost a jaguar XE due to mileage and problems and big mistake. So need something cheap to maintain. But would like to try car camping. Looks fun. Boring old Jag had fixed seats anyway lol
@@zafiracamper 5.2 tall . Just tried a Kia sonic . I could lay out but not a lot of room. I also tried a GM with a panoramic roof. Lovely car but 1.5lt engine and £13,000 a bit more than I want to spend. Particularly as never car camped
Many thanks Alex 🙏 Yeah my normal keto diet isn’t quite like this - but I love that I can have a pile of meat and it’s ok for the cals and the carbs ❤️🕺💃
