Mandy's 1000-Mile Walk for Leigh Network
Просмотров 78Год назад
gofund.me/103e189e This is the Story of Mandy's 1000-mile walk to raise money for The Leigh Network. In 1993 Mandy and Martin's son, Samuel, tragically died from Leigh's Syndrome or Leigh’s Disease (a mitochondrial disease) aged just 19 months. Unbelievably, nine years later, Sam's sister, Faye was diagnosed with the same disease aged 12 but went on to be a founder of the Leigh Network charity....
Hi. Watching you vlog from a rainy campsite in weymouth. Tempted to come to vanfest next year. Cheers. C + C
Hi Colin, well worth a visit, it's a great show but we can't guarantee the weather! We always have a good time regardless because it's such a great atmosphere. See you there next year! Alex
It was a great day yesterday. Very nice video.👍
Thanks. We really had a great weekend, particularly on Sunday. Thanks for watching.
Good vid of the the vans , prices are really shooting up, that’s why I built my own , show looked quite impressive though 👍👍
Thanks Clive and thanks for watching. I would have loved to have built my own van but unfortunately, I am a DIY disaster area. The show was great but one day is just not enough to see everything. Alex
🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😊😊😊 to all of these vans
🤣 Thanks for watching. Alex
None of them vans are worth them prices.😮
Mario, thanks for watching. I agree, especially when you look at what else you can buy for that kind of money. The prices of base vans has risen and people’s expectations have changed. The cost of materials has gone up and everyone now wants a top quality conversion and a high spec van. It all adds up!
Crazy prices.
Hi Denise, thanks for watching. Yes, I agree, hence the name of my channel but people seem happy to pay them! Watch my other video on ‘What did it all Cost?’ to see a more affordable route into campervanning. Alex
It’s not about how much it has cost it’s about how much you’ve enjoyed it that matters. I bought our T5 just over a year ago it’s 07 with 130k at time of purchase cost was 10k roll ready to go it was a px at work and I purchased it at cost have done a few bits of preventive maintenance to keep it reliable as we use it nearly every weekend and the odd week when we get time off have enjoyed every minute away in it even if it’s only ten miles away lol. We weren’t looking to buy a van but it was an opportunity not to be missed now we wouldn’t be without it, hope you and your daughter have many happy adventures in it (her/him) it’s a beauty with nice low miles 👍🏻🇬🇧
AJ, thanks for watching. I couldn’t agree more, we simply couldn’t afford a newer van because of our limited budget. I thought if we could get an older van in good condition with low miles, we could make improvements as and when we could afford to. The trouble is, it becomes addictive and it’s never-ending. We have already had loads of great experiences that we wouldn’t otherwise have had. As you say, the cost is irrelevant and I have had more fun than if I had simply shelled out £50k for a fully equipped van.
Hi..love the jokes and great van..
Hi Jim, thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the jokes - my family just roll their eyes!😃
OMG dreary, fell asleep ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Glad I could help with your insomnia LOL 😂
Spain looked lovely but you have your van adventures to look forward too Rachel & David
Yes, we have been out and about in it quite a bit since Spain! Thank you so much for watching.
The site and weather @ Bridlington looked lovely - I love the little train 🚂 To be fair £25 isn’t too bad - you have a cracking little van Rachel & David ❤
Thank you, you are very kind. I’ve probably spent far too much money on it already. It is easy to become addicted!
Good idea! 🎉😊
Thank you 😊
Some many VW... Awesome 🎉
Cheers 👍🏼
Great video! Thanks for featuring our van (DOGBUS)! 🤙
Great van. I’m so jealous ! 🤢
