Hello and thanks for visiting Touring for Life
We are John and Barbara and we live in South East England.
Our Channel is dedicated to touring and exploring the coast and countryside in our van.
We have recently retired and have started a new chapter in our lives. We bought our Elddis motorhome in 2018 which has opened up a whole new world of discovery, travel and adventure. Combined with our love of wildlife, nature and photography, I think we've found the perfect match.
We watch RUclips videos as a source of inspiration for future places to visit and we hope our channel may also inspire you with your future travel plans. We invite you to join us as we tour the country, starting with the places we love and know best in the UK. We will share campsites, park-ups and places that you wouldn't want to miss along the way.
So put your feet up and give us a try.

The Elan Valley, Wales, | Staying at Wyeside Camping & Caravanning Club site
In this trip we travel in our motorhome to the stunningly beautiful Elan Valley in Powys, Wales, UK where we visit the Victorian dams and reservoirs that have supplied Birmingham with fresh water for over a century. There is parking at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre where you will find a shop, toilets and cafe. We stay at the Wyeside Camping and Caravanning Club site, which is located in Rhayader and is just a few miles from the Visitor Centre.
There are four dams on the river Elan; Craig Goch, Pen y Garreg, Garreg Ddu and Caban Coch. The river Claerwen has the newest and largest Claerwen dam.

Just come back from there site beautiful but nothing around there
Thank you for your comment. It's a beautiful scenic valley offering outdoor activities such for cyclists and walkers - but is fairly remote!
@@touringforlife9806 yeah u can’t fault the scenery or the camp site
I like the way you filming thank you for this video i appreciate it
Thank you for comment, we are glad you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful Cornwall 😍
Thanks for your comment.
You make it look amazing! What is it like on a wet afternoon in November?
Thank you for your comment, we were so lucky with the weather.
a shame the video is ruined by the noise.
Hoping to visit soon thank you
Thank you for your comment and glad you enjoyed the video.
Fantastic filming, really inspired us to go there
Thank you for your comment, so glad you enjoyed the video.
Fun fact: There's a covenant on that field you stayed on banning caravans and permitting tents only. Fortunately, it's never been tested in court, and probably never will be.
Interesting....well what can I say!
Lovely video memories of last year’s holiday and eager for our return visit in July.
Thank you for comment, Cornwall is one of favourite places to visit.
Thanks for taking the time to compile and upload this lovely video. I'm going there mid July for some Hiking and Photography. Watching your video has heightened my enthusiasm even more 🙂
It's a great place for both hiking and photography and I'm sure you'll have a great time. So glad you enjoyed our video and your comment is really appreciated.
Beautiful scenery. Love the music. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment so glad you enjoyed the video and the music.
Wrong music choice:-( # bloody 🏴 RUN-RIG
Excellent vlog I'm heading down that way next weekend 4 site stop staying at Nicholaston site myself. Subbed you.
Thank you for your comment and subscribing to the channel. We hope the weather is kind to you - have fun in lovely Wales!
So Compton MacKenzie is buried on Barra
Tight little island whwredidthe Ship SS Polititian go aground ? On or near Erisky ? Dumping a great load of Scotch Whisky bound for the U.S. Compton MacKezie’s book Whisky gGalore. My daughter has friends on Barra who grandparents told them of this bit of island history 😊
Thanks very much for the information, very interesting to know.
love the music!
Thank you for your comment, glad you enjoyed the music.
Beautiful video - so enjoyed
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it - it's a beautiful place.
Loved watching this video. We go back at least once every year and stay at St Ives Bay holiday park. Next visit, we are going to stay at Churchtown farm in Gwithian, great access straight on to the beach as our son loves surfing.
Thank you for your comment and so glad you enjoyed the video. Cornwall is such a beautiful place with dramatic coastlines and stunning beaches. It's one of our favourite places to visit. You might like to take a look at our other Cornwall videos featuring more beautiful locations.
All rather peaceful... tranquil! see Badger was taking his mum for a walk there as well... well done on yet another great trip X
Thanks Lillian 👍
I worked on building the causeway. I am glad that Vatersay has been repopulated . That was the whole idea of it. My kids loved visiting me on the island
Thanks for your comment. It is so nice to hear from people like yourself who live on Islands.
Stunning landscape with such beautiful engineered masonry in the dams.
Thank you for your comment. Its amazing to think these dams were built over 100 years ago by the Victorians using simple tools available at the time.Hats off to these incredible Victorian Engineers and workers! The last dam built was Chaerwen in 1946-52.
We’ve just returned from a wonderful trip to Lewis and Harris. We’ve enjoyed reliving our visit by watching your video….. and are now tempted to go back! Thank you.
Thanks for your comment, so glad you enjoyed the videos. One day we to hope to go back to these lovely Islands.
I love the video. You deserve a like and subscription! Well done!
Thank you for your comment. The New Forest is such a lovely place to visit, we hope to go back again soon! Thank you for subscribing and liking the video.
I've been to Barra, an absolutely beautiful island. OK, the weather was then fabulous, BUT, during the dark, wet, cold, windy winter months - I don't know.
Thank you for commenting, hope you enjoy our other videos too
Amazing video! Loved it!
Thanks again for your lovely comment, we hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Thanks for the great video. I thoroughly enjoyed. ❤
Thank you so much for your comment, so glad you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful
Thank you for your comment, so glad you enjoyed the video.
Fantastic videos of a beautiful group of Islands ❤
Thank you for your lovely comment, so glad you enjoyed the videos. We absolutely loved the islands and hope to go back again in the future.
Absolutely awesome!!!!!! Thankyou so much for posting. Just out of interest, what camera did you use to film the videos?
Thank you so much for your comment. We used a variation of camera's....Gopro, iPhone, Canon R5/R6 and DJI Mini3 Pro (Drone)
This just makes my heart smile, I have so many wonderful memories of the New Forest especially Burley and Fordingbridge 😊
So glad you enjoyed our video and it brought back happy memories for you. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, it means a lot to us.
I found your channel by searching for Isle of Barra videos. I have watched all 6 in this series and have subscribed. Really excellent quality content. We are revisiting all these islands in our motorhome during July. I hope we have the same excellent weather that you enjoyed. Thank you for sharing these, very much appreciated.
Thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed the series, fantastic place isn't it? Hope you have an amazing time in July. Thank you for subscribing
Just absolutely beautiful, stayed at Scurival campsite, enjoyed an incredible day and night on that beach BBQ, Wine and beers on that beach was unforgettable( softdrinks for girls) best campsie we've ever enjoyed, place is gorgeous. Paradise for sure.always special to see, thanks.
Sounds amazing...the white sand beaches in the Outer Hebrides are stunning!
Were here in 21 in a motorhome, my wife and two daughtets, done from Stornoway down to N/S Uist and onto Barra. Places were incredible, so happy to have experienced it with my family. Going back in August with my bro and his family and of course, my wife and daughters, this time staying in a house for 5 nights. My sister inlaw had family ties there and is a place shes always wanted to visit, so it will have a nostalgic feel for her even though shes never been, im sure she will feel her parents when we are there, the house we have rented was actually owned by someone with family connections to her in the past, and the neighbour knew her granny so there is a good chance her parents have actually been in the very house we will all be staying at!! Had me feeling quite emotional for some reason watching this, just delighted my girls have experienced these places, maybe one day they will realise how fortunate they have been to have enjoyed such an incredibly beautiful trip here with their mum and dad when they were kids? Great video, great trip. Thanks x
Thank you for your comment and so glad our videos brought back happy memories of your trip to the Outer Hebrides. Such a beautiful magical place. A lovely story about your trip.... we hope to go back again one day and relive our memories!
Such a lovely unspoilt area. We must visit some time. Please keep the videos coming to cheer us up during this gloomy weather. Your music is really calming. What sort o horses are they with such long hair on mane.
Thank you for your comment. There are many different breeds of horses/ponies on the Gower Peninsula! We think the horses with the long hair on the mane and legs is probably a breed of Shire horse. They are beautiful and very strong horses!
How beautiful, thank you for sharing. Amazing footage, had a tear in my eye at times !!
Thank you for your lovely comment and so glad you enjoyed the video. The sheer beauty of the Outer Hebrides at times made us feel very inspired and emotional.
Beautiful! My partner and I intend to travel the same route you did. Fell in love with Scotland last year. Can't wait to get there. All the best and safe travels from Germany
Thank you for your lovely comment and so glad our videos have inspired you to visit the wonderful Outer Hebrides. You will not be disappointed! Fingers crossed you have good weather.
Absolutely spectacular, took me back to 2019.
Thank you for your comment so glad you enjoyed the video. Such beautiful islands which has given us so many happy memories.
Another great video!! My wife and I have two holidays a year to the Gower and normally stay at Oxwich Bay. Thanks
Thank you for your comment. We too like the Gower, such a beautiful area of Wales, we hope to visit again soon!
Wonderful 😊
Thank you for your comment so glad you enjoyed the video.
Really makes me want to go there again!
Thank you Laura, you must go back it's a beautiful place.
Again another really interesting video, places I've never been too... don't need to now eh? 🤣loved the animal videos and shots ... well done to you both X
Thank you Lillian. We love the Gower, it's always worth a visit and this time we were blessed with lovely weather. You can imagine Barb's excitement when she saw the foals, it was hard to drag her away!
Really enjoyed the scenery along this part of the coast. Great camera work.
Thank you, we really appreciate your comment.
Lovely work for lovely places. You're a Master with the camera, stunning shots.
Thank you, we really appreciate your comment. We were blessed with good weather again which helps.
It's looks so green and tranquil. Beautiful video as always ❤ (That big brown horse at the end reminded me of Wellington 😉)
Thank you. It was our second visit, we love it there. John will never forget Wellington!

Thank you for comment. We hope you enjoy the rest of the series...as for our equipment, we use the following;; Gopro 11 for the travelling shots from our van Canon R5 and R6 mirrorless cameras iPhones 15 pro and 13 pro DJI mini 3 Pro (Drone) Editing software: Final Cut Pro I hope this information is helpful.
What a lovely video thank you.. and especially showing a map .. because living on far away continents we dont always know where these islands or locations are.. ❤
Thank you for commenting and we're pleased you enjoyed the video and found the map helpful. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Just come across your channel and watched this. Currently watching part 2.What a beautiful video . Really enjoyed watching it. Barra is somewhere where we want to go in the near future. We have subscribed too. Pop over and check us out. A&B.x

Love seeing the animals in their natural surroundings❤
So pleased you enjoyed the video Jenny. We love the New Forest and it's mainly the animals that keep drawing us back as you can probably tell from the video. We've now made a second New Forest video that includes.... even more animals! :-). We really appreciate your comment Jenny, thank you.
The flowers at 10:18 looks like montbresia crocosmia
Thank you for your reply on the flowers.
What wonderful wildlife photography makes me want to revist this area. I particularly enjoyed the deer and pigs roaming free. Look forward to your next one.
Thank you for your comment. We had a great time in the New Forest although we did have a lot of rain! Not sure if you have seen the first one of this series 'TOURING THE BEAUTIFUL NEW FOREST'...lots more animals!
