Professional moochers
Великобритания
Добавлен 3 авг 2020
We work full time but try to escape normality in our campervan as often as possible.
This channel will allow us to document our travels for us to reflect on the good times, if others like too then... great!
We're very good at mooching, without pre made plans hence the name, professional moochers.
We love to travel, see different parts of the world, especially if it's outdoors.
We're often drawn to mountainous areas but we equally love individual architectural structures in cities around the world.
We also like food and drink!

The Lakes 100 road trip in a camper van PT2
The Lakes 100 is a circular road trip around the Lake District national park in the north west of England, which we completed in our VW California camper van. A lot like Scotland's NC500, it takes in all the best sights the UK has to offer! You get mountains, caves, hikes, history and some great places to eat & drink.
This is part 2 of 2 so if you missed part 1, go back and have a watch.
The Lake District has lots of campsites to choose from so it's perfect for camping in a tent, motor home or a campervan.

We did the The Lakes 100 travelling in our VW California camper van with our dog, which is a circular road trip around the English Lake District national park, taking in the most beautiful sites you could imagine! We visit Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere, Thirlmere, Keswick, Borrowdale, seathwaite and Buttermere, experiencing places like Rydal caves, Grasmere gingerbread and Wordsworth's grave,...
New UK campsite & location in our VW California Camper Van

Before our big Lake District road trip, we tried out a new location for us, and a campsite which has only been open a few years. Farm & Fell campsite in Sedbergh, set amongst the Howgills in between the Lakeland fells and the Yorkshire Dales. With a pretty little village, riverside walks and views to die for, we quickly fell in love. We cooked some chicken kebabs on the Weber go anywhere bbq wh...
Loving van life in North Wales!
Просмотров 4,1 тыс.2 месяца назад
Remote camp spots in our VW California Campervan are what we strive for. This forest location high up in the North Wales hills in Snowdonia (Eryri) national park is the perfect place for a campfire, beers, cooking on a fire pit, bit of bushcraft, hiking through the woodland with our dog without seeing a single person! We cooked some tomaporks on the Kadai travel fire bowl but had to rely on the...
Best portable fire pit review
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.2 месяца назад
When travelling and camping in our camper van, we often use a fire pit. You may already know, we often cook over a fire pit too, whether it be curry, steak, burgers or chicken. We use a mixture of charcoal and wood for that authentic smoke flavour but aside from cooking, there's nothing better than a campfire surrounded by family & friends with a beer in hand, especially if you're fighting mosq...
Amazing hike from this campsite | Peak District
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.3 месяца назад
The Peak District national park is becoming a firm favourite camping location for us in our VW California camper van. Newfold farm campsite in Edale is such a great location for hiking, sitting round the campfire with views, there's an amazing pub next door and it's at the start of the Pennine Way route with Kinder Scout nearby. We went for the perfect hike from our campsite and were treated to...
We guarantee you'll want to stay here! Dulas glamping
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 месяца назад
We found an absolute hidden gem! Dulas glamping is a remote farm with only one camping pitch. This single pitch is securely fenced in so you can confidently allow your dog, especially reactive dogs or even breeds such as the XL bully to roam free without having distractions to react to. We visited in our VW California camper van and the views of the local mountains are gobsmacking! It's only 15...
Stormy camper van trip to burns farm campsite
Просмотров 5 тыс.4 месяца назад
We headed to the Lake District national park in our VW California T5 campervan for the Lakeland festival of light in Keswick. Little did we know, a named storm, Kathleen would cancel the event and leave us to hunker down in the van with 70mph winds! Burns farm campsite was our destination and we timed it perfectly as we got to see a baby highland cow called April, 4 days after her birth. There ...

With a couple of days off work we packed our VW California camper van and headed to the Peak District national park in central UK, specifically to Edale to stay at Newfold fam campsite. This place allows campfires, have an onsite cafe/bistro & shop with the best pub next door which is dog friendly, has great beers and the food is superb! Situated at the beginning of the Pennine way it's a great...
We found vanlife camping heaven! Cefn Coed campsite
Просмотров 6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
We took our VW T5 California camper van to a campsite which enables you to feel like you're van life wild camping. Amongst some amazing tent pitches, there are only a few camper van pitches which are situated in the secluded woodland surrounded by nature. This camp site is called Cefn Coed, in south Snowdonia (Eryri) national park, in between Barmouth and Dolgellau on the Mawddach trail. We too...
Overnight pub stop in Yorkshire Dales | Vanlife
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.5 месяцев назад
We took our camper van to the Yorkshire Dales and camped in a pub carpark with an amazing view of the Ribblehead viaduct and Whernside as a backdrop which is the highest hill in Yorkshire, one of the 3 peaks. We hiked 9 miles from the pub, tp the summit of Whernside and back and replenished our energy levels with pub grub and beer. It's great to return to vanlife after a 2 month break due to il...
Scotland in a VW Camper van
Просмотров 6 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Winter camping in a small VW T5 California campervan in the Scottish Highlands comes with its own challenges but it never disappoints! We have been to this campsite three times now, Dalraddy is situated just outside Aviemore on the Speyside way hiking & biking route in close proximity to the Cairngorms largest mountains. We stayed here for new year but as you'll see, celebrations were a little ...
Stormy start to our Scotland van road trip
Просмотров 6 тыс.7 месяцев назад
We headed to the Cairngorms national park in our VW T5 California campervan for a wee road trip around the highlands of Scotland. Storm Gerrit didn't want us to get there too easily so the A9 was closed due to heavy snow, all other routes were closed due to floods. After an eventful night, we finally reached Aviemore and Glenmore for a few nights camping on Loch Morlich with some hiking, outdoo...
Keswick campsite on Derwent water

Again, we find ourselves camping in the rain in our tiny VW campervan with our dog. We took our VW California to the Lake District to stay at the Camping and Caravanning club site in Keswick, on the shores of Derwentwater which commands one of the best views in the UK, as you can see a number of Wainwrights surrounding the water with the larger fells in the distance, including Scafell Pike, hig...

Just catching up on your channel and this summer hasn’t been one for the memories. I’m pretty sure it’s been one of the windiest, wettest and coldest for many years but i still enjoy getting out regardless. Our best week so far was NC500 back in late April but i guess we were just god damn lucky, take care both 👍👌
It has been pretty grim! We normally get a good summer as soon as the schools go back 😄
Ahh love you channel you to and doggy, lovely couple good videos to love it only thing is you are punching a bit with your Mrs 😂you both great 👍
I love it when our viewers are drunk enough to get things drastically wrong. It’s Sarah who’s punching 😉 😄
@@Professionalmoochers love it mate keep doing the channel you both are the best to watch 😃🥰🥰
@user-tb8zs6qf5j thank you 🙏🏼
Love this some much definitely on my bucket list to visit here . Can I ask what camera you use to film this please? It’s absolutely beautiful
It’s much more amazing than it looks on camera! You have to see it for yourself 🤯 It was a Sony A6600, since upgraded to the A6700 but they’re both similar 👍🏼
That's funny, my day was greatly improved when I heard Mr Sunak had called upon the services of Pickfords too. I can picture the person who lost that 20 quid checking the area and finding your 45 quid cap!🧢 Great series of vlogs guys. We may need to invest in that map.
😄😄 they got the bum deal then as I lost it after a long, hot up hill slog so may have been moist! It’s a great guide, takes you to places you wouldn’t normally seek out by yourself 👍🏼
@@Professionalmoochers 🤣🤣🤣
Love the Lakes. Great to find different places. Ordered map. Great videos 😊
Thanks Beverley 🙏🏼 Agreed, it makes a each trip, a new adventure when you find somewhere new 🤩
Just bought the map! How long would you suggest you take to do it justice? Been to the Lakes quite a few times since getting the van but there's loads on this route we've never seen so will definitely head up there. Great vlog as always and loved the outtakes for a change - do more of those.
You’ll have a great time, real eye opener for us! We did it in 5-6 days but we had a lie in each day and didn’t rush. We never do retakes on anything so we never have outtakes but thought we’d try to be professional on this one 😄😄
Any reason for the 3 minutes of black at the end 😂😂😂
@@barabas13 I didn’t notice 🤦🏼♂️ Thanks for letting me know 😄
@@Professionalmoochers sad thing is I waited till the end expecting some Marvel like spoiler 😂
@@barabas13 😄😄😄 sorry! Just trimmed it so hopefully will be fixed in a few hours 👍🏼
@@Professionalmoochers 😂🤗🍻
Great video!
@@what3words thank you 🙏🏼
Great !!!
@@Dave-rl1vj thanks 👍🏼
Just stunning scenery. Cheers 🍻
@@andyblake1849 not too shabby eh? 🤩
Thanks guys Can't wait to try this trip out, but still waiting for my 100 road map its been 2 weeks since order and still waitng, no reply from company.thanks for the recce though.
Royal mail lost ours too, we had to buy another from a shop in Ambleside. Try contacting them again and, enjoy your trip 👌🏼
Thanks.

Thank you for another super VLOG. I am sold on your route. The map is ordered and the holidays booked for the first week of October.
Brilliant, it’s brilliant and full of variety 🤩 Enjoy it 👍🏼
Done a zip wire over hodge close 25 years back😮,bays brown farm and the languages are our favourites keep up spreading the word.❤
NO THANKS!! 😄😄 Bay’s brown was busy but still a great place to be.. cheers 🤩
I've ordered that map now. I don't want to go with the masses so this is perfect. Thanks
Brilliant! There are busy places, it’s the Lake District but, certainly the western and southern areas, it was really quiet. You’ll love it 😍
Stunning scenery, such a wonderful area. 💚
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi guys great vlog what you think of the kayak ? Which model and would you recommend one ?
It’s brilliant, really stable too but, we haven’t used it since we got the dog so we’ll be selling it 😄 It’s an Itiwit 3 from Decathlon 👌🏼
That stone circle, was made by a school master and some pupils, not ancient at all. It disappeared when farmers nicked the stones for walls, and they had to be located and put back in place.
No way!!! 😄😄 That’s funny, we barely spent any time there as we were wet and cold so sounds like we didn’t waste any time there.
Another great video.👍🏻 £45 lost on the hat but £20 found so that helped a little unless Sarah spent £10 😂
Sarah spent the lot 😄😄 but I got a Cadbury wholenut out of it 👌🏼
I really envy you ! Blog/vlog ? Awesome once again gives ya an insight to what can be done in your own country !! Love it !!!👍🏻
Great video! We have been camping in Lakes for many years and have really enjoyed seeing your tour and highlights!! Well done!!👏🏻 😎☀️
Thank you 🙏🏼 We’re the same, thought we knew it all 😄 but turns out, there’s so much more to explore.
@@Professionalmoochers so true!!😄👍🏻🥰
Looks epic guys, great to have bumped into the pair of you, and Jack, at the DOC festival.
Thanks Mark, good to see you too! Great weekend and we’ll certainly be back next year 👌🏼
Those caves were amazing!!!
I genuinely couldn’t capture it properly on camera, it’s so much better in person 🤩
May the force be with you
@@grahams3417 😄😄 it very nearly wasn’t with us!
Brilliant reviews,…..We carry a frontier stove, ( the cheap tent stove) its excellent for cooking, in terms of a cars iron or dutchy,..a bonus is its a good heat source and the smoke is ten foot above you. Ok, it’s no bush telly unless you leave the door open, but it feels safer too as it’s enclosed and the flue has a decent spark arrester.
We’ve toyed with the idea of getting a Glawning and a stove like that would a must have item for an awning, they look really good 👌🏼
Lovely footage guys, lovely. …. Thought we saw you arrive at Dubbed out on the Friday, if so hope you had a good un. 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼 We did arrive Friday afternoon, good gig wasn’t it?? 🤩🍻
Great vlog. Never heard of this route but determined to try it now. Thanks. Does Alan have a special knife for getting down from high places? (I also get a touch of vertigo, so I’m with him on that).
Thanks!! You really should, it takes you to busy tourist spots and places where you’ll be alone 👌🏼 Hmmmm not yet, maybe a new Swiss Army knife would help with that 😄
Nice place and you are right about nob heads, Peak District a couple of weeks ago people had a bbq right next to Ladybower, used a wooden bench which was also used as a memorial plaque bench. Clearly signs say no BBQ’s, litter and food waste everywhere. Countryside respect has diminished over the last few years, I’m livid 😢 hoping you are both well 👍
I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself if I’d seen that 🤬 All good this end mate 👍🏼
@@Professionalmoochers i only saw this the morning after, this must have happened overnight, it’s very common at the moment to come across this and also fly tipping in these areas really boils my p&@s 👍
😆Great opening shot! That trip looks incredible, we have to get up to the lakes. As ever, the food looks fantastic too. Jack did well to get down those steps on that rock. You'd never get Raffy doing that. Catch up soon.
Cheers Mal 😁 Jack did a better job of the steps than I did!! The Lakes is a must for you, just avoid school holidays or you might regret it 👍🏼
Hey guys! Great content - thanks!! Can you recommend any campervan companies for Dolomites/ Italy ?
Thanks very much 🙏🏼 No idea I’m afraid, as we drove our van rather than hiring
Cracking little video
@@lqakopazqlebelltentcznbks.4350 thank you 🙏🏼
We have the exact same anthracite T5.1 as yours thanks for the tour it helped! Great guys
Fine choice 😉👌🏼
We love the lakes and are going again next week for 4 nights 🙌🏻 what was the drive to buttermere like? We’ve heard it’s quite a tight road we have a VW camper too 👌🏻🚐
Honister pass and beyond is perfectly doable. It can be tricky when it’s really busy, just due to lots of cars on narrow roads and bad parking but otherwise, it’s easy. Enjoy your trip 🤩
Great video, exactly what I was looking for to get more info on a T5 California. Thanks
Cheers! There weren’t many T5 cali videos when we were buying so thought we’d put it out there 😁
Great video. We too love the lakes 😊
Thanks Bev 😁
This just popped up on recommended and not seen it before, lovely to see Oscar enjoying himself in that water, RIP the old lad 👌
😔
Fantastic videos!! How many nights did you do this trip over...?
Thank you! 🙏🏼 In total (including the next video) we did 5-6 nights, although we had a lie in each day and didn’t rush so you could do it in less time or, take a week and see much more.
New here and really enjoying your content!
Thanks for joining us, glad you’re enjoying it 🤩
Great vlog guys! We defo want to check out that fish and chip shop in Keswick now. Could you promise us some sunshine in late August? 😁
Sorry, guaranteed sunshine isn’t normally guaranteed until after the school holidays so you’re better going in September 😄 You’ll love the chippy! You can sit in upstairs but it’s not dog friendly
Another good watch guys, didnt know about the Lakes 100 map, its on the order List,thanks for the inf, some stunning walks, Thirlmere was one of the first Lakes we visited, found a stunning view point halfway down the east bank dodgy park up but well worth it. One of them great to be alive days. Thanks guys Look forward to next one👍
Thank you 🙏🏼 It’s 100% worth doing. Thirlmere is just gorgeous, especially when you get above it! Heading up helvellyn from wythburn is a great vantage point, so too is the summit of steel fell 👌🏼
Ya need to travel around the south lakes
We do next video 😁
Arnside ...sliverdale .....milnthorpe...
@@livefollower3339 aah yes, somewhere we always say we need to explore and end up getting pulled in by the lakes. Does it get busy round those areas? I know Arnside can. Used to camp in silverdale as a kid, haven’t been back since
Hi guys, Really enjoyed that😀iv'e stayed in that bothy before about 4 years ago it was , we thought it was quite spooky and we didn't get much sleep lol , could you tell use the location where you started the walk from to the bothy? as when we went we parked in the Arch car park near Cwmystwyth and it was a very long walk, I will be going back there in a couple of days time just to see how much its changed, ATB Mark ..
Thanks mark! It’s an amazing location, really helps you to reset a busy mind. We parked at a tiny campsite who have 2-3 parking spaces available with an honesty box called Gwersylla Tymawr. Have a great trip 👍🏼
@@Professionalmoochers thank you very much for your quick reply 😁👍 I will head to the place you said , thanks again.
Aww looks like you had such a good time, my favourite place is the lakes! Typical British summer weather though 😅
It was brilliant!! Even with the poor weather, it’s such a great place to explore 😍
Tiny Rebel is lovely, but you need to try beer from Broad Town Brewery which is located just outside Royal Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire! Yum Yum!!
I’m not really a big fan of beer but, I may look into that 😉
As always stunning places and love the California T5🫶🏽
Thank you 😁
How’s the midges out there are they out hunting for blood 🩸?
Just catching up after a bad couple of weeks .... but would love a meet and chill! ... wherever..... ;-)
Hopefully announce something in a few weeks
What do you use to stop the rain between the awning cassette and the van!?
We don’t have anything but, someone did say there’s a rubber strip available. Not sure if it’s California specific but, the drops that come through have never been bad enough for us to do something about it 👍🏼
fair enough, I've seen the Fiamma strips... I've used packing foam but it still comes through in heavy rain, and then drips into the van if the sliding door is open!
Someone said the California came with a strip so I’d imagine it would’ve been Thule or fiamma
Gotta love the lakes weather-always a surprise round the corner. Fantastic when you can find places where other people are scarce and views are everywhere 👍
100%, you’ve got to just get out there and wait for it to get better 😁 Next week’s video takes us to some much quieter areas 👍🏼
