I Pushed my Camper Van Too Far

- In this video I take my camper van and join a convoy of 4x4 vehicles exploring some of the Green Lanes in northern England. Unfortunately a couple of the lanes were too rough for my van and I had a tough time. The first half of this video does not represent what I had hoped for with green laning, however day 2 was perfect as we explores tracks that were far more suitable for me and in much better condition. Green laning is a great way to have fun and see the countryside and should always be practiced responsibly. For more information on Green Laning: www.glass-uk.org/

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that he took time to stop, put the camera down, record driving, then retrieve the camera, AND fly the drone along with the caravan, all while dealing with stressful roads 😳 that's DEDICATION
and stuff like jumping in twice for consistency on shots like 0:56
@@iComplainer that might be two camera angles 😁 but still, so much time and effort goes into videos like this. Amazing.
@@SarahBurnsStudio there are no cameras in either angle’s background
For a non campervan channel you did the best job in promoting this space. Love the build and journey with this Delica!!!
It's good that you tackled this with seasoned off-roaders who were able to guide you. Must have been a great learning experience.
100%. Those guys really know their stuff.
I think as you gain more experience driving yourself, you will get more relaxed and able to enjoy the challenge in a positive sense. I think your financial and emotional investment into the van already paid off. Kudos to you and thanks for sharing it here.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto This video is disgusting. Amazing how little he cares about his van.
@@tommyfun9355 The Van is a tool to get THomas where he wanted to be to shoot photos. I care very little for my hammer because I hit nails with it by your logic.
In any event, your van is pretty darn impressive. Limited ground clearance, no rear locker or aggressive tires. Kudos to your rig and sense of adventure.
Looks like BFG tyres which are capable, but yeah, diff lock, low range, ground clearance is what's needed for these tracks. The little Delica did well tho!
@@defenderadventuresoverland6951 I've been similarly impressed with my partner's Subaru Forester. Good road car, but surprisingly capable off road, even in stock configuration.
I've been thinking about a Delica since before Thomas got his, but recently I've been eyeing off the Forester as an even cheaper option...
@@defenderadventuresoverland6951 Delica has diff lock and lowrange box as standard, just have to put defender coils on rear n wind torsion bars up at front for clearance 👍🇦🇺
Green lanes are old routes meant to be used by horse and cart not 4x4 vehicles. 4X4 vehicles are the cause of all of the worst damage to the green lanes, not either environmentally or for local walkers. As a landscape photographer why would you want to add to the damage ?
well said graham...
these are legal rights of way, a road that any vehicle that is road legal can drive or ride along I applaud Tom for showing the green lanes on the UK, walkers have so many places to walk why do you want to stop a very small minority it disgusts me that the ramblers think they own the whole of the UK country side
Gentlemen, your negative statements, and personal feelings as to what modes of transportation and recreation should and should not be enjoyed, are yours to have, and please keep them to yourself. Now, that is unless you have evidence that Tom and his mates were knowingly traversing on a “Green Lane” that was designated as a “Footpath”, “Bridleway”, or “Restricted Byway”, and therefore illegal in those circumstances to drive a motorized vehicle. I see no evidence to support that any laws were broken, just a front bumper. The main classification of “Green Lanes” is a byway open to all users and all types of traffic. However, as they are unsurfaced, they are often only passable in a 4x4 or on a trail motorbike, mountain bike, as well as pedestrians and horse riders. I’m trying to not share my opinion as to what I personally feel. However, we all have beliefs, and opinions, teams… it’s part of being Human, and unfortunately, spreading false information to support one’s beliefs goes along with that. If you’re going to be negative, can you please support your arguments with at least some easily retrievable facts and evidence that would make someone feel that your argument is maybe worth considering. Hope to all, have a great rest of your day, Cheers!
@Dead Head you will find if you take time to do some homework most green road riders/drivers will only go out in very small groups, I am a member of the the TRF and we only ever go out in small groups of no more than 6 so where you get 400 from is a mystery, please if you have proof of 400 drivers/riders on one green road in on day I would love to see it
@Dead Head lol do you actually ever walk around the lake district? its the walkers and their parking that do ALL of the damage that you can actually see. If you think a few eroded back lanes has got shit on the damage done by people walking on the fells then you are deluded.
That’s insane!!! Hope you went home an easier route. And glad you and the van are okay. Beautiful scenery.
That's exactly what I was thinking... The path back.
Thanks a lot. All home safe and well 👍👍
Gave you a thumbs up just because of all the hard time you had 😉 glad the van pulled though with only a few scratches
Yess beautiful
🇨🇦/🇺🇸... I was envisioning Thomas hiking out with a bunch or salvaged aluminum extrusion slung over a donkey's back! That retrofit job was a LOT of work, to leave behind!
Adventure is often defined as taking inappropriate equipment places it should not go.
I think you nailed it there.
Defnley you pushed to heard your beautiful van but thank your travels mate you were out and now you know the limits and with more off road experience.
Don't be too hard on yourself and the wee van. I offroad in the USA and believe me it is often unnerving but you did great for your second time out on what looks like a pretty difficult track.
As it got worse all I could think of was the exhaust for the heater being ripped from the bottom. What a spunky van you have Tom! I'm sure you picked up some great memories and some new skills that may get put to good use in future. You never know!
I enjoyed this trip and great to meet you! I’d love to join you again for a more gentle trip though tom! My disco took a beating that weekend. All the best dan 👍
Even though this video doesn't have any photography but I still enjoy it so much. I hardly have time to go off-road on my L200, so I can feel how much fun and freedom you got there. This video is excellent. Keep it up bro.
That was crazy, glad that you and the van were ok hope you did not have to go back home the same way, happy travels and be safe....
Woaaah!!! A bit like crossing Van Zyl’s Pass in Northern Namibia. 😅 Thank's for sharing! 👍
I laughed! Brought back a few memories, except we were on our own, nobody to pull us out. All hard work, good fun and memories to last.
Before I emigrated to Australia I was a regular, hardcore green-laner and also did RTV trials in a heavily modified Land Rover 90. I was actually really impressed with what the Delica managed to do - obviously way beyond what it is expected to do on a daily basis. Nice to know you have a lot in reserve when driving an average gravel/muddy track.
Sorry to say this Thomas but all those ruts that you are getting stuck in have been caused by the very vehicles your friends are driving, and going around just extends the damage. I mention this because a good friend of mine who owns a farm with a green lane passing through it and he gets so frustrated with the damage caused. I hope someday the Green laners will have the decency to pay for repairs to the lanes they ruin.
Still love your photography though. P.S. yes I can be a comudgley old fart who cares about the planet.
@The Northern Explorer With respect to you there are 3 issues here:
1.The ruts were there and flooding is a huge issue. I’m sure you personally do a good job but the issue of damage to our uplands goes far beyond repairing ruts.
2. We are in the midst of a world climate crisis, the evidence is world wide and there is no way, at any level that driving large carbon using and emitting vehicles is good .
3. Mr Heaton has rightly and repeated called on photographers to respect the environment yet here he is promoting an activity which is simply, despite you and perhaps him filling in ruts, not compatible with his claims to address environmental concerns.
@The Northern Explorer based on all these other comments you should give up all your outdoor hobbies and just sit inside doing nothing, you've said you are respectful and I believe you, keep enjoying the outdoors mate 👍
@The Northern Explorer You'd better get stuck in then and fix this,I know the lane in the first part of the video,it's barely walkable never mind driveable,I have yet to see any of you people actually repairing any thing,I call bullshit.
@Dead Head cry more about it mate, if you're that bitchy about it go to the council about it, or start a petition, go door to door to fix the mess....or just moan to strangers on the Internet 🤦♂️
@The Northern Explorer so the fact that ‘someone else’ green laning drove through that really bad rutting causing the damage absolves you of any damage you may cause going over the track, don’t think so. A responsible person would have turned back, but I am not naive enough not to realise that most of the excitement and experience of G/L. Is the thrill of getting through the really bad heavy stuff, why else would you do it, it’s not for the scenery really is it?
The only way to find out yours, or your vans limits is to push to them.
Looked like a fun trip with friends!
Ouch! Stop! I was cringing like it was my own. Thank for the fun Tom. Give her a hot bath.
A 50mm lift kit, 31’s, bash plates and steep approach front bumper gets you through all that stuff pretty easily. But it’s a heavy vehicle loaded up and those kinds of roads will put extra stress on stock steering and suspension components. The guys who work on mine have gone all out on theirs and did the Canning Stock Route a couple of years ago. Still it’s good to see you out there having a go👍.
Pics and video of rough tracks never look as bad as they do in person - and that one looks a RIGHT shocker! ;)
I am glad the camper van survived. I too get too stressed out with that kind of driving. The camper van is not that easy to just replace if things go wrong and its how you make your living. Glad everything worked out..
Really great drone shots - a lot of work paid off!
Thank goodness for great friends with rescue skills and equipment. Great footage to show your grandkids some day.
At a time when we are looking at landscape photography and the effect of travel, NFTs, over saturation of people in various sections and our overall environmental impact I think its time we started examining 'green laning' and its impact on the Lakes. There is already talk of the Lakes losing their world heritage status due to the issue. My wife's family lived on a small holding on the top of a fell and towards the end of their time there it got to the stage that there would be long queues of large 4x4s going through their yard. The lanes at Tilberthwaite are like a motorway some days with queues of vehicles going over. The Lakes are being turned into one big theme park and its one reason why I moved away last year. I love your work but whilst green lining may be legal its not something that I believe should be happening in the Lake District.
Agreed. these roads and tracks are in such a state partly because of these off-roaders.
A good comment and somewhat thought provoking. ‘Green-laning’ is legal therefore people are entitled to use the lanes, but their use is damaging the immediate environment and as none of the vehicles used are ‘green’, in fact they are the complete opposite, they are contributing to a wider environmental issue. So yes action needs to be taken, not just in the Lakes but in other places as well, the issue is going to be getting sufficient support to get an act through Parliament closing green lanes to motorised vehicles.
Agreed. Seeing black smoke pour out of the back of a 4x4 as its wheels rip through one of our most precious environments for the purposes of entertainment or a few more subscribers is upsetting. For someone who photographs these beautiful places it is a disappointing subject for the latest upload.
I wouldnt say its for the purpose of entertainment, most people that enjoy a green lane do so for the sense of adventure and challenge and knowing Thomas it was a combination of both. The places you photograph will not change because of the odd green laner.
@@StevePhillips1890 If only it were the odd green laner.
I think you can take some consolation form the fact that the Hi-Lux got stuck too! When I was a lot younger I drove a bog standard 1960s BL saloon car along a green lane and inevitably got stuck. The farmer who came over to tow me out was somewhat blunt in his assessment of my brain power :-). You, however had a mostly suitable car and were with a team who could rescue you and will likely enjoy telling the tale in the pub for a while! And most things that are super stressful for those of us with a certain type of personality are much less so the next time!
I know it's legal, but when you look at the damage, (to the road that is), it is no wonder that green laning attracts so much hostility!
Working for the council, I found it was farmers with tractors that did the most damage on green lanes.
@@ianwatson3315 I'm sure that vehicle for vehicle, that's probably true, but I wouldn't dismiss the damage that regular use by groups of 4x4s can cause on top of more necessary travel by farmers.
Walkers do far more damage to tracks all over the country.
Carry some ten foot by twelve inch by two inch boards with you. If you have four of them, put them down in front of your wheels with some four by fours to go under the ten foot boards. Sometimes you need six boards for larger areas. You drive up on the boards and with six you keep moving the boards in front of the vehicle until you are out of the mud. I used to help friends, who decided to drive across the salt flats in Utah and they would be a couple of hundred yards out on the flats stuck in the mud. It takes a while with six boards to slowly move them back to dry land, but a tow truck would cost hundreds of dollars to do it. The salt flats look solid but the water table is very high and you sink down into the mud and the vehicle is on the frame. You have to use boards to Jack up the vehicle then keep the tires on boards until the vehicle is on dry land.
“This isn’t my idea of fun” - I think I laughed too hard at that 😁
I was never really into photography, but a couple years ago I decided I needed a real hobby. I dabbled a bit with my wife's DSLR, but never really got into it. Then I was able to get an iPhone with the newer nightphoto capability, and found I can get my teeth into dark sky photography with a small sensor. After stumbling across your channel, I am thinking I want to include some daytime (sunrise/sunset) landscape in the mix. Thank you for popping up in my suggested videos list.
Very impressed first time out in the rough, nice little setup you have
I have a Delica too. They are so good. Make sure you have a bash plate! and get a 2 inch lift and bull bar. That'll give you more clearance. If you're travelling by yourself, then 4 max trax or some equivalent and a shovel are super handy for getting out of sticky situations. Oh, Delicas a prone to rust, so make sure you are cleaning her after your trips. Delica facebook groups are your best friend
What’s the saying? A ship is safe in port but that’s not what ships are for. You expands your skill set my pushing your limits- it’s how we grow. Enjoy that van and the adventures it makes possible.
Quite the adventure and entertaining video! Not sure I would have subjected my vehicle to that road, though!
I'm a beginner in landscape photo but I wish one day I will be able to do something like that. Discover new places, enjoying them and for sure take photos as much as I can. Thank you for keeping my mind focused on my hobby with your videos (even when it's just about a rough road trip :D ) !
Great video, as usual from Thomas. I've had a Delica for 4 yrs, love it to bits, so I felt your pain when seeing it take a bashing. Loved seeing the drone shots.
Go deli we've got a chaminiox we call plan b whew glad she made it x x from Bunbury western Australia
It would be epic for you driving around Iceland with your van for a good month, but I recon it would be one hell of a trip by ferry to get yourself there. No gear restrictions or lost luggage on airports though. Make sure to bring enough film...
Anyone else watch this and be reminded of Ewan and Charley on the Road of Bones on Long Way Round 😂😂
"The comfort zone is nice but nothing grows there" pushing your camper van to find new places looks like an amazing adventure
Sorry Tom, entertaining but the reason these lanes are so knackered is mainly because of the overuse of 4wd's. This country has too few areas of such beauty, yes we all want to use them but if we cause damage then perhaps it's something we shouldn't do. If
Your van did well! You did well out of your comfort zone! The scenery was fabulous
Question... Are you airing your tires down when you go offroad? If not, its very important to do.
When you are on soft ground like sand, mud snow, if your tires are at full pressure they act like a saw blade and will dig into the soft ground and spin up very easily. Lowering your pressure to 15-18 PSI (since you don't have beadlocks) will help your tires "float" on soft surfaces and they will be much less likely to dig into them. Its also a MUCH more comfortable ride!
You might also want to look around for a aluminum plate bumper for the front to give you a better approach angle. Then you wont have to worry about that plastic bumper getting all torn up. You could even mount a winch if you do this kind of driving a lot.
A good set of recovery gear is also a very good idea to have... even without any of that other stuff.
Just flew back from London yesterday. I was in the lake district(stayed in Cumbria) last week and it rained the entire time. I'm glad you have some favorable conditions to explore and photograph.
A tip from an Aussie, you should seriously invest in some recovery tracks, they're super cheap insurance for getting you out of all sorts of trouble! Light weight and lots of uses especially solo (mount them until of your ammo box). Google 'why buy 4wd recovery tracks/boards' and spend 5 mins reading some sites. They're designed for sand but insanely helpful in mud, gravel, and great for cars without lockers as you can pack up the wheels using them. And super cheap.
Remember it ain't an adventure if it doesn't go wrong haha!! That's the whole fun:). You've definitely got a good attitude about it though. Love the content as always.
If you ever decide to get adventurous and do that level of Green lane solo, get a winch fitted and keep a length of rebar and a lump hammer in the van.
Loved this filmThomas, poor little Delica.🙁😉😀👍
Wow, your van is a good partner of yours. Well done 👍
In the middle of Nowhere, between Somewhere and Elsewhere... Let's go driving!!
Still remember age 6 with brother, nearly 4, sister, 2, sister, 1 week in mother's lap, in Ford Custom, 1961, helping father break up ruts when driving on red dirt roads with lorry ruts from Makurdi to take Elder Dempster Line boat to England. Trick was finding out and staying in it as long as it matched your car wheels
Thanks for sharing, seems a great experience and beautiful pictures/shots in the video. Is there somewhere to find GPX on this green lanes?
Brilliant trip, loved it! That Delica is absolutely cool.
Thomas, you are a braver man than most.
That mosquito just waiting there to ruin your night at 8:02 :D
No the feeling I do this in my wheelchair a couple of weeks ago I reached a point of no return had no choice but to keep going as the route back was to hard. Makes you feel alive when you do get round like you no time for taking photos as I was gripping hold of the chair. Glad your van was not to damaged really enjoyed this video
That sounds like an adventure. I didn't enjoy the muddy puddle one but, but the whole trip did open my eyes to new locations. Next week's video 👍👍👍
Not keen on the muddy puddles either looking forward to seeing your next video
The Delicas are a good thing. Bring it to Australia when the borders open. The lanes are more red than green, but the Delica will love it.
Nice video and adventure... amazing views. My father is a mechanic, he says you probably damaged the van underneath and not only the bumper, I hope not.
What a hideous day out !! I can't imagine anything worse...
Exciting video, I am enjoying offroading in Korea. If I have a chance, I want to meet you. 😅
I’ve done something like that before in an improper vehicle for the road. Great memories!
I was shopping for a minivan this year and had narrowed it down to a Delica and a Toyota Alphard. I went with the Alphard because it’s a more comfortable ride on roads where I drive 99.9% of the time. But I definitely have some regrets not going with the Delica when I watch these videos. I did get one with AWD though, so I can at least drive it in the snow.
Any day out in nature is glorious...usually. Still looked like a good adventure.
hey mate what was the context of this trip... just a drive kind of thing or did something happen to cut it short?
Future vehicle upgrades taking us to obscure locations. What a confidence builder … I see a future 🏔. Great production
you can tell who uses their 4x4and who doesn't by the battle scars, it's a given you'll break something or something will fall off every time you go into the bush, your Mitsi wombat ain't no poser now.
Mr. Heaton you are a trooper, I would have reversed course at the sign of the first major obstacle….hope the van is ok. Cheers!
Nothing that can't be fixed with some wood screws and a solid cable tie stitching :) Although I do enjoy watching a solid chassis bashing offroad adventure, I rather prefer not to be involved my self or my car, which isn't capable of any sorts of offroading anyways. Love the landscape, great views there!
Another beautifully filmed short movie and so well narrated. I used to off road a Bob tailed Range Rover, but the rough parts of that green lane were insane. Very brave in such a nice Delica.
Enjoyed the video but that was one tough road! Thanks for sharing
Damn, settling down for the night in that camper looks so comfy and cosy, with the light and those little curtains!
I want to get myself something like this..
Those roads remind me of my old old driveway back in the day
I would have been stressed to the max as well! So much could have gone worse! Next green lane adventure will be easier on the nerves!
I love your content Tom, but I utterly don't GET this green laneing/offroading stuff. Quite honestly the last thing I'd ever want to see in these picturesque locations is a bunch of noisy cars turning up and ruining the peace, and nothings gunna beat the offroading power of a pair of legs. The only reason I can see for this it to aid accessabiliy to these amazing locations to people who coudln't otherwise visit. Looking forward to next week's video!
these are legal rights of way, a road that any vehicle that is road legal can drive or ride along I applaud Tom for showing the green lanes on the UK, walkers have so many places to walk why do you want to stop a very small minority it disgusts me that the ramblers think they own the whole of the UK country side
What we all need is camper belt wagons
"It's gonna get bumpy" - well that's an understatement ;)))
well at least you now know what your van is capable of.... i was thoroughly entertained thanks!
I think I really appreciate the drone footage on your videos which show the adventure in a really entertaining way. But how do you control it when you are driving...?
If you haven't named your van yet, you should. "Deli's" adventures kept me on the edge of my seat. So glad she fared ok in the end.
Starting to see a trend here. Photography channels not showing photography.
I'm amazed by what that van is capable of. I always considered the Delica a 4X4 urely in name, rather than performance. And while yes, it struggled... so did the other vehicles, much like the last video of this nature.
I think the van is incredible and would take it over any of the others there.
Another great video...
The Delica 4x4 is basically a Pajero with a box body. Same drivetrain.
@@zkcessnaguy Dang,,, I'd been looking at van options and then having some sort of off road kit added. I'm now thinking go for one of these and extended the roof a little might be the better approach
"Too nervous to think about camera work"....I feel your pain. After balancing my Xterra on two (diagonally opposite) wheels one time too many in Colorado, I was just thankful to get out in one piece (more or less). The photographs I took that afternoon were all rubbish--I'll just have to go back, perhaps.
That little Delica is one tough rig! It did a lot more than I expected!
Good effort - I was wincing! Literally felt your pain
I fully agree with you. I like a vehicle to get me somewhere that I want to go for a purpose. Just driving to prove that the vehicle can make it doesn’t appeal.
Brilliant video Thomas and so pleased the Delica is (fundamentally) ok
I honestly never comment on YT videos but I just really wanted to say I appreciate your approach to them, your production quality is unbelievable and to think you do it on your own! I absolutely love the fact you don't have the click bait titles as well, I've been hooked on your channel since I first found a video last week without them, click bait titles actually put me off clicking them now. You are incredibly inspiring and I wish you all the best with your channel! I don't appreciate you making me want a 4x4 camper that I cant afford though haha!
Hope both yourself and the Delica are both home safe. That seemed a bit much for you. Just glad you got something out of it the next morning.
Keep safe :-)
Might want to consider lifting the Delica if you intend to keep going thru routes like that. It might be offroad capable, but it would be better to set it up a bit more. It would be a shame to damage the van when something can be done about it before hand. You've built it nicely.
I don't know. I think when you look back you would likely trade prefect paint and shiny bumpers for adventures like that.
Glad its not a camp cooking channel, oh the joys of the delica
Well done, the van is impressive
How to help flash flooding in the valleys, be glad when the locals get their way and the National Park authorities ban vehicles from these routes. Are you offsetting the environmental damaged caused?
Im intrigued after the fit put how the squeaks and also how things travelled in the cupboards?
What a hoot!! But yeah, proper off-roading like this can be more stress than it’s worth - especially if you break your vehicle (I almost died in the desert after puncturing a fuel tank in a dry riverbed on a 45-degree day!) - so glad the Delica survived. 👍🦘🇦🇺
WTG Thomas, Diff Locks and a 2 or 3 inch lift kit and you would of had an easier time of it, Even if you don't plan on doing the extreme again I'd still fit a Rear Diff Lock because even on Flat ground they work wonders, Chin up Thomas You and the little Delica did well, Thumbs up Mate.
Do we really need this churning up our country side. This made me very sad, more so you associated this with photography. Nothing creative here mate, and so climate unfriendly. 🙄
at first i thought this van a bit ugly, but after watching your videos i start to realy like your car!
After watching this, I went to my garage to see if my vehicle suffered any damage by me watching your trek!
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Or - That which doesn't kill you hurts like hell. Take your pick!
Craziness indeed... looks like fun when you have a large support group though... at least the drone got a good work out
