Travellers Cooke Book
Великобритания
Добавлен 15 сен 2016
Is it possible to TRAVEL YOURSELF HAPPY? Let's find out !
We are the Cookes, Nicola, and Nigel. We loved to travel. In 2018 we bought and converted a VW van and spent 3 years traveling around the UK and Ireland. At the time we also travelled with our beloved cat, Guinness. She was 20. Sadly we lost Guinness in Feb of 2020 and then well the rest of the world went to pot.
Early 2023 we sold our property back in Ireland and hit the road full time and at the time of writing (November 2024) we have now visited 20 countries including Norway, Estonia, Greece and Slovenia.
This channel will primarily focus on our travels, with the odd smattering of photography and food thrown in for good measure.
Travel safe.

And so, with our time in Ireland soon coming to an end, it's time to head into 'The Big Smoke' and have a dander around what was once Nigel's home city. I wonder how much it's changed ?
❤️ Thanks for watching and will catch up next time.

INCREDIBLE Autumn Colours in the Birks #FotoFridays

#photography #vanlife #vlog If you have watched our travel vlogs you will have seen that Scotland has had its challenges this year, not least stopping me from getting across to Islay and Mull. Then again, Scotland continues to make me smile, and especially so this year as I finally get to taste a little bit of the wonderful Autumnal colours you can get up here. And this year, I think it's one o...

#vanlife #tollymore #running And so we are back in Ireland and with all the back and forward Nigel had forgotten he had entered a half marathon. Normally he would be able to don his running kit and give it a fair try, but after being quite lazy (not to mention a little bit ill) he thinks he may have bitten of more than he can chew this time.

‘With feet” had me spitting out my tea 😂😂. Brilliant video- inspiring a trip when we make it over to Ireland.
I hope he doesn’t watch the channel :) glad you enjoyed the video
I say you're right belfast has gone expensive last couple years. But a lovely city. We're there at last 10 times a year. We stay out at Dundonald camping park then bus in to town.
@@steveb7437 indeed very beautiful … aye never stayed but I hear it’s a great option for visiting the city …
Nicola you are so cruel! Safe travels in 2025
Let’s get her back for 3000 :) Thanks and HNY to you too
Photographed many a wedding round those spots love a city wedding. Maybe it’s next week but trip to sunflower bar worth it still has the door cage from bad old days and a courtyard with amazing wood fired pizza at Cooke friendly prices.
Oh hell yeah … defo do another jaunt around Belfast at some point …
Now I want to go to Belfast!😊
Glad u enjoyed it … fabulous city
😅❤️
Nutcase glad it was you and not me
Only catching up now congratulations on 2k . There is black waste disposal at Glenarm it is through door on side of toilets on left after crossing footbridge. Also Ground, you should know from Portrush, etc run the coffee shop at the castle, the do an amazing burger made from the estate short horn cattle. The forest has a nice walk and one few places have seen red squirrels. If you fancy break from the van and have a few £ you can rent the Barbican Gatelodge you walked down to. Now need to see this icy dip!!!
Thanks mate ... good information ... Nigel is certainly partial to a decent burger ... Happy New Year ...
Bravely done, sir, bravely done. Maybe when you hit 3,000, perhaps you should counter-challenge your good lady to go a week without fresh buns of any kind. [P.S. I hear beer is a good mouth-wash to efface the taste of raw carrots]. 😁
Hehe .. thanks .. .she says NO CHANCE !!!
Thumbnail has @apetor vibes.
Happy New Year to you both
And to you .. thanks for watching ..
Happy new Year🎉 - please don’t eat carrots again😂
Happy new year! Travel plans for 2025 :)

Whoo Hoo! 2000!
@@denisemahood9162 yup indeed :) thanks so much
Happy new year to you both. Have loved watching your videos. I started following you when you were just above Competa in Spain when that very windy storm came through. We were on the coast near Nerja at the time. We can relate to the storage situation as we have been on the road for 18 months ourselves 🤦♀️. Looking forward to seeing where you get to in 2025
Thanks so much ... hopefully your own 2025 is full of new adventures ..
Congratulations on 2K Nicola and Nigel! Looking forward to Next Year's vlogs and adventures! 💚
Thanks so much :)

Good luck on New Year's Day!

Here’s to more outdoor time in 2025 :)

Merry Christmas Guys.

Such a beautiful place, i hope no god of the sea find this place. Now GET IN THE WATER ! 🔱🌊
@@jinzotenebris yes indeed .. just beautiful
Such a beautiful place!
It is indeed .. thanks
Beautiful!
You may not be fussed on waterfalls but that shot at end is lovely
Thanks so much .. what an incredible place it is ..
beautiful videos 😊
It’s hard to imagine a more miserable individual than this guy.
Would struggle to do that distance in a long days walk. Well impressed considering lack of training, now the drunk bit again I think. 🍻
It was a tad tougher than I had hoped but at least I made it around
@ flipping awesome job. Hard to beat location wise. Don’t go often enough.
Wow... still an achievement [at any age] congratulations. I used to run when younger, now I limp but better to be worn-out than to have rusted out.
It took a few days to recover :)
Impressed!😊
More impressive being able to shuffle the next day :)
