Pair of bullies who will be coward bullies till the day they die.

Your channel is just honest to goodness family youtube. I think you do great content for what ever my opinion is worth. Don't get disheartened. You're all out there doing it and to be honest, the main thing is using woolfie to give Maximus and yourself and Michelle a better way of life. Thats more important anyway. I almost forgot to say that you did a grand job touching up the rust areas and Woolfie looks much better for it. Keep up the good work, chin up and keep making the channel. I for one have followed for a heck of a long time now and I'd really miss you all if you didnt. Much respect as always- Kenny

      @traveling-taylors 9 дней назад

      Thanks - we do try to plan as best we can and put series together. We are bound by how Maximus reacts to places, that makes it hard to have structure with campsites. If he doesn't like a place we have to move, he enjoys driving and wants to get going as soon as he wakes up :-) During the school hols we did the North of England last summer, Wales then Scotland highlands. Then Scotland again. We are planning summer now for the big trip - that should produce some good videos 🤞 We do watch others and find the channels that get the most views seem to have a calamity or disaster every week. We just can't do that and wouldn't want to Maximus through that. I guess that is the planning we do, to keep things as level for Maximus as we can. Thank you so much for watching every week :-) we really appreciate it

I went to look at a property with 35 acres attached, it was last Saturday that the Scottish media claimed there was to be a heatwave(22°c), plus the Northern Lights. I never had a good feeling whilst travelling around, due in most part to the weather, it will never get cold enough to snow properly, like in Finnish Lapland where l had a home for 12 years. I currently have a home in Poland for 14 years now, which is beautiful with strong weather, both Sun and Snow. Both of those locations l decided in a single heartbeat, so l dont think l shall ever return to Scotland, based on their weather. It is a long way to go, to be disappointed.

    Haha I’ve just bought a minibus 09 transit to do the same, and it took me days to get the bolts out of the seats. I ended up having to use a grinder to cut them all, but kinda cut a few then swing the seats around to get access to other bolts. Genuinely it took me days to get the seats out. Just waiting for DVLA to confirm it as a window van now so I can insure it. What a journey 😂😂😂

      He loves his scooter again at the moment. No point in in getting to upset - these things happen. Took me a couple of hours to clean it up, fill it out and give it a quick paint. All part of the adventure :-)

    great video Graham and good to see Maximus enjoying himself. I'd love to go to a dark skies area to try to get the milky way. loving your shot of Woolfie under the Stars bearing his bimble battle scar with pride. As ever, respect and love to you and Michelle, Maximus and whoof to Freya - Kenny

    Wowzers, that was proper blowy and rough Graham. Not sure Id'd have felt comfortable in Viv in that wind. Mind you, Wolfie is made of sterner stuff so I'm sure you were all ok. Loved the photos at the end of the video and I hope you managed to get back to the road off that muddy track. Much respect🙏- Kenny

    I met a couple just like that in Perth, Australia. They were as equally intentional to not just intimidate but to also disuade people from being near their property. In my case, I was on a dog beach in front of their units with my dogs swimming. What occurred has to this day left me unsettled when I think about their behaviour. However, I did later hear that they do that to everyone, even young boys going fishing, who left a backpack against a garden wall facing the beach. So all I can guess is that is specifically crafted behaviour to push people away from their exclusive areas.

      Unfortunately they are among us :-) a few local folk have commented saying they are like that with everyone and everyone knows them. He apparently has the nick name "Ted Bundy" in local circles. We have been really lucky so far and met mostly nice folk :-) Thanks for watching and commenting

    How dare you. How dare you do that. How dare you camp on a public road that is quiet with your wife and kid which is a huge danger to local people (im kidding). Man if I was a local and seen you guys camping on side road I would not care and if I did see you I would of said hi and asked if you need any above about local area. I absolutely would Not come up and knock on the door which is absolutely not needed. The guy at first seemed ok but he escalated by how he crossed his arms and stood firm. The best thing is to say your a cop and your on holiday with your family hahaha. Oh just commented on elsdon video as my Grandma was from there. Thanks from NZ ..Happy Anzac Day

    New sub. Great video and what a great Dad you are for the way you dealt with the situation. 100% did the right thing. It's pathetic that some locals think they own the countryside. The best "weapon" so to speak is not giving them ammunition by parking legally, being quiet at late hours and leaving zero rubbish etc. If they still start something then, all is fair game. Handled like a true gent and father. As a wild camper/hiker myself, the ONLY thing I wver worry about (worry as in expect to possibly spoil the trip) is other people. There are delusional people out there who have zero self awareness and 100% self entitlement who have either never been told no, are used to getting away with bullying or simply think they own the 10 square miles around their rural home. I'm a Yorkshireman myself and you handled the situation just as I would. On a lighter note, once I was cycling/camping in rural Somerset and stayed in one remote spot with my bike and tent in one spot for 3 days to ride out some bad weather. Some lovely dear old lady brought me a flask of fresh coffee and home made sandwiches as she had spotted me (walking her dog) on day 2 and realised what I was doing. Gives you hope in society again. Good people need to stick together. All the best - Mark 😊

    When you 'blur' the face of the person who confronted you, it means that person has got away with his behavior and no-one else will know to watch out for him.
