It doesn’t seem to matter how bad the weather gets, the little red camper always looks cosy. That river looked terrifying! I wouldn’t like to live in those properties right on the riverside. Thanks for sharing a really interesting video.
Glad you found it interesting Sylvia. We were very wary about crossing the bridge over the gushing river until a woman casually went past pushing her child in a buggy 😂
Hope you don't mind me leaving a tip Ken. Snip the chicken over the pan with scissors into chunks. Of course, you need to handle the chicken (could use gloves) , it saves having to put raw chicken on a chopping board. I do it all the time x
I think the little village with the church is where some of the scenes from the film ‘Whistle down the Wind’ was filmed. Given the weather you’ve suffered, it’s quite an appropriate name.
I must be very odd but there is nothing better in my opinion than sitting in a caravan or camper with the rain and wind storming outside!! It just reminds me of childhood holidays :)
It’s lovely how you take turns cooking. Takes the drudgery out completely. I was a homemaker and cooked every meal, and packed every lunch. That was my job. My dear husband worked so hard as an engineer and my job was to take care of him and the house. It freed us up to spend our weekends together. Miss that smiling face. He died suddenly at barley 56. Losing your life partner is horrid. This is why I so enjoy seeing your happy marriage and you true concern and caring for each other.
Having a McDonald’s is ok with us too! Thank you for not swimming in the river with/without…..well you know! That river was crazy! I am amazed that houses are built right next to it. It seems no matter the weather you both manage to present a warm and inviting atmosphere in the red camper. I’m assuming the weather has improved greatly since February. Take care. Mary
Hari OM WEll that was atmospheric; Downham in Danger of Drowning, Settle Saturated and the Ribble Rippling Ribald! All tempered with tea, toasties and tastables. That's making the best of a bad bargain!!! YAM xx
Can’t beat a treat at McDonald’s we love it and consistent quality we find … Damn we were all glued for a little red strip off mind you in that temperature it wouldn’t be fun lol Wow that river … you would not want to fall in there for sure We notice our handles have a hell of draft to - sounds like inherent in all vans - I was looking at creating a plastic cover sometime We use cling film and scissors on chicken as like you don’t like it on the chopping boards One tip we have just found for curry - you can layer the rice on the source for 3 mins at the end so one pot … done it twice now Tough trip great video though
Another great video. The noise and power of the river was something else. Just makes you realise how dangerous flooding can be and how easy it is for people to get swept away.
Another big adventure Carol and Ken, with the miserable weather but still marvelous scenery as always. I like the fact you are still in a good mood as always never grumpy...😊 Can't wait till the next video thanks for sharing 😉👍
Can relate to the miserable weather, which we are again experiencing this week in my part of Australia, though the rain isn't as heavy as previously experienced. I recall the Forest of Boland in your previous episode, a lot of open countryside and such a contrast to the big cities further south. Also the pretty village of Downham, a step back in time without the awful double yellow lines along the roadsides which plague Britain generally. Overlooked by the brooding mass of Pendle Hill, famous for the witches who lived in the area way back in the 17th century.
We would have loved to explore more of the area and had hoped to go to Pendle Hill but not in that weather. We will definitely be going back one day 🙂👍
Carol has a great eye for photography. Loved when Ken commented the walkway over the river was treacherous and then a woman with a pram walks right across. 😃
Thanks for another interesting (but wet) vídeo. The river looked quite frightening !!! You have no idea how I've enjoyed all the episodes of your storm adventure 👏👏👏
On my bucket lis t, the I have watched so many programs on the Yorkshire Dales. Thanks for sharing. A cb radio would be an interesting feature to your adventures.
Great video, after a very wintery day what better than a good curry in a nice environment despite the conditions the van always looks cosy & Away from the Elements of outside..........
Watching y’all walk across and along that flooded river gave me the willies!!! That was TERRIFYING and INTIMIDATING water! As a child I watched through a window as a flooding river rose so quickly it inundated our home….I was actually carried to safety by a fireman as they helped people from their homes…to this day high waters make me antsy. Applauding your bravery in the teeth of the storm and as always thank you for the lovely tour and spectacular video! (I think Carol should make a book of her photos….SO BEAUTIFUL! 😍)
That must have been a terrifying experience for you, especially at a young age. We can understand how fast flowing water must bring back those horrific memories for you. Thank you for watching and your lovely comment about Carol’s photos. It is much appreciated 🙂
You did good! That foot bridge could have been underwater on the walk back. lol Good recovery on calling McDonald's junk food. In the U.S. we call McDonald's fast food.
Not only is it drab and grey day, a visit to gravestones, parking fees in small country towns, defibrillators in phone boxes and I didn't see anyone wave "thanks" from other vehicles for your courteousness. What kind of a country is this? :) The flooding does remind me of my home - Australia. Still its spring for you guys, so better weather coming. Love watching your videos and love the banter between you two, so thank you.
Another great video, can't beat camping in a storm, love it. Just a tip, cut raw chicken with a pair of large scissors straight into the pan. No mess no chopping board. 👍
This has certainly been a grim weather adventure for you, very entertaining despite the gloom. I have to confess that I am one of those old people too, that love sitting in the car when it's lashing down with rain. Some hate it but I find it cosy. Your Nissan seems ideal for all weather's and journeys.
You were being so stoical in the rain, in a car park, next to a Covid Testing Centre, in Clitherow. Any combination of those would have broken a lesser man. 😀
Haven't been to the Naked Man Cafe for years, used to love it. I don't cut raw chicken any more on a board either. I cut it with scissors straight into the pan and then use an anti vac wipe to clean the scissors, works a treat and the chicken cooks quicker. Well at least you remembered the rice, I totally forgot a couple of days ago. Ended up with just a bowl of S&S..
Can’t beat a spot of shopping when the weather is miserable. ( or not) We are quite partial to a cheeky Mac Donald’s. Lot of water in that river! That water was so deep. Luckily you didn’t have to stop. Ribble looked scary. Brave walking across the bridge😬. Wouldn’t want to live there. Hard getting stuff dry in the van. Ah so you didn’t settle in Settle. Sensible sheep. (Poor buggers!) that wind will rock you to sleep Ken. Nice and cosy. Curry looked good. Safe travels 😊🧙♂️
It was such a grim weekend wasn’t it. Impressed you managed a bit of a wander. Thanks for the mention, it was such a shame we didn’t get to meet up, another time for sure I hope 😊 x
We had to get out and stretch our legs whatever the weather 😆 We will certainly try and arrange a meet up next time we are up your way. It would be great to meet you and Vanya 😀🚐❤️
The village of Downham is where the lovely 1960’s film ‘whistle down the wind’ was made, with Hayley Mills. The phone box also featured in the film. Pity the weather was so bad for you it’s such a pretty village.
@@LifeistooshortCK It certainly is a great film and one of my all time favourites..I loved Hayley Mills, l wanted to be her:) We only went to Downham this year for the first time, so pretty. It’s been owned by the same family since 1500’s I think. They don’t have ariels on the houses and no road markings either..makes it even more interesting! xx
True vanners guys still making the best of it. Loved the Naked mans café. We nearly turned off when you started to talk about taking your kit off lol. That's another kind of video! Look forward to the next one. Take care you two x
Please keep up the vids of the rain and storms. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and we only get 7 1/2 inches of rain a year. It always looks good to see the rain, even if it is falling on some else.
Thank you for sharing another good video. What a pity that the weather was wet all the time. Alas 🙄. I like the fact you are still in a good mood 😁. See you next time (hopefully less wet 😊).
I luv all the old houses you past. I was worried you might of got stuck in the flooded area, what weather, well at least you got a much needed rest, all that walking you both do. the river was fifthly, it was quite scary, watching you cross the bridge. I cant wait until your next adventure. take care.
Miserable weather but not a miserable day .I enjoyed riding around in the camper through some interesting places.It might sound crazy but I like the stormy weather besides I did not get wet.😀
Hello Ken / Carol It may have been a grim day for you both but it was a great video loved the walk around lovely old church and house the river was amazing as you said you could see the power , this weather pattern seems to be all over same here in parts of Canada big floods . Thanks again for the video :) take care .
Thanks for watching Shaun. Hope you are staying safe in the flooding over there. Lately we have been having a spell of dry, warm weather here in Southern England.
Grim being a very appropriate word weather wise anyway. I wouldn't like to live near a river as the flooding aspect of it would be a nightmare. The houses were lovely but maybe in a different location,it would be nice on a dry sunny day beside the river but other than that no. I would like to visit the Yorkshire dales i bet the scenery is awesome.. Nothing beats the country side.Loved the name of the cafe 😂 awh mum and I used to love a toasted t cake. The curry looked sublime ken XX ❤️💙
A visit to Downham and no mention of the Pendle witches, please go back in the summer it’s beautiful. Saying that we live 20 miles away from Clitheroe and whenever we visit it rains. 😂
It's always dryer on the coast, we have sun in Liverpool Formby upto Southport, Blackpool up Morecombe around the coasts, when its raining inland its often sunny or less rainy on the coast
Small plastic lunchbox lid (sort of thing you get in Tesco) would do the job for cutting things like chicken. Easy to clean off and thin too so great to store away.
Great episode 😁 love all the old buildings, it looked sooo cold outside for sure 🙌 look forward to the next video 👌oh and our weather in Australia isn't much better than yours 😩🤣👍
So sorry it was a miserable day for you both and it also looked a bit dangerous in places so glad you were safe. Sorry to say I really enjoyed it and you managed to sound positive and made me laugh as well. I enjoyed the dramatic scenery and your views on McDonalds and like you say they do manage to be open when no one else is. I always annoy my husband as I don't like burgers and if we have to go into one I will only have a fillet of fish which is always cooked fresh which really miffs him off because of the wait. Even when it's really bad you don't tend to give in and go into a hotel I take my hat off to you as I would be chomping at the bit for a bath and warm bed. Thanks again for a great video let's see if you can stick it out you brave couple.
It may have been a “pretty miserable day” but I found this episode hilarious! We Brits like nothing better than moaning about the weather (I still do it and I’ve lived in the USA for over 20 years!), but we also embrace it! I could totally “see” those two people with their thermos flask and sandwiches enjoying every minute of that storm, but I did feel sorry for the sheep! And Ken you did a great job with that curry. I bet it was a “windy” night all round!! Take care guys!
Glad you enjoyed it Sandra. We can see the attraction in sitting in your car with a thermos and sandwiches watching those poor sheep in the rain and wind 😁
Oh sorry forgot to say how about using a pair of kitchen scissors to cut your chicken straight into the pan and then you only have the scissors and one mucky hand to tend to. Just a thought as chicken sticks to the board doesn't it? I hate that too.
Another well put together video guys, thank you! Just a small suggestion, put your intro music on the end as an outro to give smart tv users a bit more time to like the video. You deserve more likes than you get and id hate for you to miss any due to sluggish tv menus like mine! I always forget to do it at the start of the video and have to play it again to hit the like button. Personally I’m more than happy to make the effort to do this, but some may not. Well done 👏
Ahoy Me Hearties! :D River Ribble, aye! That's my next sail! Looking amazing! To me it's not terrifying but amusing! Tame the beast while it rumbles, aye! ;) Ye Olde Naked Man's Café! That sounds fun, was afraid ye won't go in there! Hahaha! You dear folks are already masters of any kind of weather, hands down. bear hugs from yer Cap'n
Make sure to wear ye olde cork jacket when sailing down the Ribble, Cap’n. Good luck taming that beast 😂 Have no fear, no naked men here 😝 Stay safe out there. Till next time 😀❤️
Ken I always worry about the front windows, as where does the water, that forms droplets all go? If you think about it they all go down into the front part of the dash where all the electrics are, like relay plates and fuse panel are usually placed.
It all depends on how you remove the moisture. So far I have never seen water running down the front screen of its own accord. It can happen though when wiping it off. I use a method of removal that does not cause that problem. So far so good.
I agree with you regarding McDonald's. So many people make out as though it's the most terrible food ever, but as long as you don't eat lots of it then it's fine! I got a hamburger, fries and drink from there recently and paid about £3.70, which isn't bad value either.
I was in Settle on Monday. I had better weather than you, although I spent a very wet and windy night on the Yorkshire Dales near Sedbergh on Monday night! Did you see the old water tower in Settle that was converted into a residential property? It featured on Grand Designs and they turned the roof into a rooftop sun room.
Hi Carol and Ken. Loving going through your tour videos. Wonderful pictures as well. Please can I just ask what app you used to create the white border and title? - @purplestagcamper
It is junk food a total waste of anyone's money couldn't tell you when I last ate such rubbish and luckily I didn't pay. a bit of rain never harmed anyone as the saying goes it's not the wrong weather it's the wrong clothing
There was a time when God's house was always open. Sadly these days they have to be kept locked up when there isn't a service on because of vandals and thieves, shame 😞
Old people! As they say, 80 is the new 70 and 70 is the new 60. No one is old anymore 😁
It doesn’t seem to matter how bad the weather gets, the little red camper always looks cosy. That river looked terrifying! I wouldn’t like to live in those properties right on the riverside. Thanks for sharing a really interesting video.
Glad you found it interesting Sylvia. We were very wary about crossing the bridge over the gushing river until a woman casually went past pushing her child in a buggy 😂
WOW ! The power and roar of that river was really something else - absolutely stunning ! Great video
Cheers. Rivers in flood very scary.
Hope you don't mind me leaving a tip Ken. Snip the chicken over the pan with scissors into chunks. Of course, you need to handle the chicken (could use gloves) , it saves having to put raw chicken on a chopping board. I do it all the time x
Ps Curry looked delicious
Good tip 👍
I think the little village with the church is where some of the scenes from the film ‘Whistle down the Wind’ was filmed. Given the weather you’ve suffered, it’s quite an appropriate name.

I must be very odd but there is nothing better in my opinion than sitting in a caravan or camper with the rain and wind storming outside!! It just reminds me of childhood holidays :)
Totally agree CJ. As long as you are warm and dry it is a lovely feeling 🙂
Another cracking little video. Nothing beats sitting in a car in the rain. 👍
Another great video, you folks are so real and I love that. In spite of the rain you find reason to smile and laugh. My kind of people.
Thanks Gerald, you are very kind 🙏
Another great video thanks very much
It’s lovely how you take turns cooking. Takes the drudgery out completely. I was a homemaker and cooked every meal, and packed every lunch. That was my job. My dear husband worked so hard as an engineer and my job was to take care of him and the house.
It freed us up to spend our weekends together. Miss that smiling face. He died suddenly at barley 56. Losing your life partner is horrid. This is why I so enjoy seeing your happy marriage and you true concern and caring for each other.
So sorry to hear you lost him at such a young age. That must be tough. ❤️
@@LifeistooshortCK , thank you so much. Simply irreplaceable. 😓

It has greatly improved now. 😁👍
Hari OM
WEll that was atmospheric; Downham in Danger of Drowning, Settle Saturated and the Ribble Rippling Ribald! All tempered with tea, toasties and tastables. That's making the best of a bad bargain!!! YAM xx
Love it YAM 🤩 Thanks for the great comment 😀👍
Can’t beat a treat at McDonald’s we love it and consistent quality we find …
Damn we were all glued for a little red strip off mind you in that temperature it wouldn’t be fun lol
Wow that river … you would not want to fall in there for sure
We notice our handles have a hell of draft to - sounds like inherent in all vans - I was looking at creating a plastic cover sometime
We use cling film and scissors on chicken as like you don’t like it on the chopping boards
One tip we have just found for curry - you can layer the rice on the source for 3 mins at the end so one pot … done it twice now
Tough trip great video though
Great idea with the rice. Going to try that for sure 👍
Glad that you are safe. That river is totally wild. Stay warm.
I enjoyed seeing the storm and you made the best of it. 😯 that river! Hang in there. 💙
Thanks Michele 🙂👍
Such force in that river! Sheesh!!
As devastating as it can be, it’s impossible not to admire
It was pretty amazing to watch 😮
Another great video. The noise and power of the river was something else. Just makes you realise how dangerous flooding can be and how easy it is for people to get swept away.
The power of water is awesome. It only takes a couple of inches to sweep you off your feet!
I like it when it rains seems nice n cozy in the van
It is indeed ☺️👍
Miserable weather but still marvelous scenery.
That was a lovely video it captured the cold wet UK winters day feeling just the thing to watch in sunny South Africa 👍 thanks
Glad you enjoyed it James 🙂
It hasn't beat you yet!
Not yet Steve 🙂
Beautiful photography carol!
Thank you Marie 🙏
Another big adventure Carol and Ken, with the miserable weather but still marvelous scenery as always. I like the fact you are still in a good mood as always never grumpy...😊
Can't wait till the next video thanks for sharing 😉👍
No point in being grumpy Rob although we do have our moments 😉 Thanks for watching 🙂
Wish you could send that lovely rain to Southern California! Keep the videos coming! I'm with you "in spirit"!
Thanks Judi. We’ll see what we can send your way 🌧
You dear souls…it was a good vlog…thank you. Boy, you can hear that rain! The curry sounds a good idea! XX
The curry was very comforting 😋🙂👍
Can relate to the miserable weather, which we are again experiencing this week in my part of Australia, though the rain isn't as heavy as previously experienced. I recall the Forest of Boland in your previous episode, a lot of open countryside and such a contrast to the big cities further south.

This vlog reminded me of “Withering Heights” 🥰 LOL lovely vlog Heathcliff 🤪 Hugs to Cathy 👍👊🐾🐾🐕🦺🚐😘
😂 haha. Thanks Stephen, it did feel very wild and windy 😝💨😀👍
I get that with cold wind,it makes my eyes stream.
Carol really suffers from it 😭
Glad to see all the cobwebs on the AED machine in the phone booth 😂. That river is terrifying. Yum that meal looked awesome! 👍🏻
Yes, glad it doesn’t get used much 🙂
Carol has a great eye for photography. Loved when Ken commented the walkway over the river was treacherous and then a woman with a pram walks right across. 😃
We felt so silly. She was obviously local and well used to it 😁
Thanks for another interesting (but wet) vídeo. The river looked quite frightening !!! You have no idea how I've enjoyed all the episodes of your storm adventure 👏👏👏
Thank you Diana. So glad you are enjoying the wet adventures 😁👍
On my bucket lis t, the I have watched so many programs on the Yorkshire Dales. Thanks for sharing. A cb radio would be an interesting feature to your adventures.
Great Trip nice and cosy from the rain😁 And a nice curry 😁
Looks like you turned a road trip into a simulation of an exersize on the Salisbury Plain. LOL Mud anyone?
It was quite a challenge John ☺️
I love to know the origins of words and watching this made me look up the term shambles...fascinating :0)
What a lovely little village. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Thank you! You too!
We remember this bad weather, really feel for the houses and businesses that suffer from flooding.
Great video guys 👍
Pretty raw weather guys. You did well to brave it.
Great video, after a very wintery day what better than a good curry in a nice environment despite the conditions the van always looks cosy & Away from the Elements of outside..........

Another great video, can't beat camping in a storm, love it. Just a tip, cut raw chicken with a pair of large scissors straight into the pan. No mess no chopping board. 👍
Great tip. Thank you 🙂👍
That’s exactly what I was going to say. I hold chicken above a pan and just cut. Or hold it above the plastic packaging it came in and cut.
Hi nice one same about the bad weather 👍😜can’t wait two the next one
Thanks for watching 🙂
This has certainly been a grim weather adventure for you, very entertaining despite the gloom.

Haha. Thanks Euan 🙂👍
When we were in England & Wales in Spring it was sunny, We packed a lot of rain gear we used it only two days. It was a lovely trip. 🌼🇺🇸Pamela
You were lucky Pamela. Spring is often the best time for weather in the UK 🙂
Haven't been to the Naked Man Cafe for years, used to love it.
I don't cut raw chicken any more on a board either. I cut it with scissors straight into the pan and then use an anti vac wipe to clean the scissors, works a treat and the chicken cooks quicker. Well at least you remembered the rice, I totally forgot a couple of days ago. Ended up with just a bowl of S&S..

As long as the van is not leaking it is pretty nice to be in😉
We were lovely and cosy in the van and soon dried off 🙂
Such a pretty village!
True vanners guys still making the best of it. Loved the Naked mans café. We nearly turned off when you started to talk about taking your kit off lol. That's another kind of video! Look forward to the next one. Take care you two x
Yes, thanks Michael. We are not that kind of channel 😂
Please keep up the vids of the rain and storms. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and we only get 7 1/2 inches of rain a year. It always looks good to see the rain, even if it is falling on some else.
It would be nice if we could send you some rain 👍

I luv all the old houses you past. I was worried you might of got stuck in the flooded area, what weather, well at least you
got a much needed rest, all that walking you both do. the river was fifthly, it was quite scary, watching you cross the bridge.
I cant wait until your next adventure.
take care.
Thanks Moira. Luckily the roads weren’t too flooded and we were able to carry on 🙂
Miserable weather but not a miserable day .I enjoyed riding around in the camper through some interesting places.It might sound crazy but I like the stormy weather besides I did not get wet.😀
Sounds like a good way to travel in bad weather 😁 Thanks for joining us 🙂👍
Hello Ken / Carol It may have been a grim day for you both but it was a great video loved the walk around lovely old church and house the river was amazing as you said you could see the power , this weather pattern seems to be all over same here in parts of Canada big floods . Thanks again for the video :) take care .
Thanks for watching Shaun. Hope you are staying safe in the flooding over there. Lately we have been having a spell of dry, warm weather here in Southern England.
Nice vlog Ken and Carol. All credit given for perseverance in the bad weather. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching 🙏
Grim being a very appropriate word weather wise anyway. I wouldn't like to live near a river as the flooding aspect of it would be a nightmare. The houses were lovely but maybe in a different location,it would be nice on a dry sunny day beside the river but other than that no. I would like to visit the Yorkshire dales i bet the scenery is awesome.. Nothing beats the country side.Loved the name of the cafe 😂 awh mum and I used to love a toasted t cake. The curry looked sublime ken XX ❤️💙
We would certainly not live that close to a river. The Yorkshire Dales are very scenic and well worth a visit. Thanks for watching 🙂
Great video Ken and Carol. Oh and goes without saying great intro music haha i just love it. Me and my partner both.. from the isle of man. :)
Thanks for the lovely comment. Greetings to Isle of Man 🇮🇲 😀
Im a Chatburn 🤣, saw the van yesterday on the a27 after the findon roundabout near the esso garage 😂👍
Wasn’t us 😆
That was the scariest bridge crossing, especially the mom and baby carriage.
She put us to shame as she strode across without a care in the world 😁
A visit to Downham and no mention of the Pendle witches, please go back in the summer it’s beautiful. Saying that we live 20 miles away from Clitheroe and whenever we visit it rains. 😂
We had planned on visiting Pendle so will definitely go back one day in better weather 🙂
Hi Ken & Carol, The weather is anyting but kind to you on this trip, but the places you are visiting are just amazing. except the "River" it was wild!
We struggled on as best we could with the weather ☺️
It's always dryer on the coast, we have sun in Liverpool Formby upto Southport, Blackpool up Morecombe around the coasts, when its raining inland its often sunny or less rainy on the coast
We will have to remember that for future trips ☺️👍
You both looked so cosy in your van ,love the sound of rain on a rooftop when inside
We love that sound too ☺️
Dinner looked great Ken!😋
Water is such a powerful force. Add high winds and its a mess.
Small plastic lunchbox lid (sort of thing you get in Tesco) would do the job for cutting things like chicken. Easy to clean off and thin too so great to store away.
Great tip, thanks 🙂👍
Great idea with the chicken guys, good luck with the nxt one 👍
Cheers Steve 🙂
Still enjoyed the vlog ..but felt for you both getting cold and wet...cheers from Chile
Luckily we soon dried out with the heater on in the van 🙂
Boy you sure had bad weather on this trip. It does wear you down after a while.
It was tough at times ☺️
Great episode 😁 love all the old buildings, it looked sooo cold outside for sure 🙌 look forward to the next video 👌oh and our weather in Australia isn't much better than yours 😩🤣👍
You must be heading into winter soon so hope it doesn’t get too bad for you.
We are getting into winter but we didn't get a summer so it's been a long time of grey wet weather 😩🙌😂
So sorry it was a miserable day for you both and it also looked a bit dangerous in places so glad you were safe. Sorry to say I really enjoyed it and you managed to sound positive and made me laugh as well. I enjoyed the dramatic scenery and your views on McDonalds and like you say they do manage to be open when no one else is. I always annoy my husband as I don't like burgers and if we have to go into one I will only have a fillet of fish which is always cooked fresh which really miffs him off because of the wait. Even when it's really bad you don't tend to give in and go into a hotel I take my hat off to you as I would be chomping at the bit for a bath and warm bed. Thanks again for a great video let's see if you can stick it out you brave couple.
Yes, let’s wait and see what happens next 😂
Those Kalihoor curry pouches are scrummy and a good price. I live on a narrowoat and may avoid the ribble link
Probably a good idea until the water levels go down 🙂👍
It may have been a “pretty miserable day” but I found this episode hilarious! We Brits like nothing better than moaning about the weather (I still do it and I’ve lived in the USA for over 20 years!), but we also embrace it! I could totally “see” those two people with their thermos flask and sandwiches enjoying every minute of that storm, but I did feel sorry for the sheep! And Ken you did a great job with that curry. I bet it was a “windy” night all round!! Take care guys!
Glad you enjoyed it Sandra. We can see the attraction in sitting in your car with a thermos and sandwiches watching those poor sheep in the rain and wind 😁
Oh sorry forgot to say how about using a pair of kitchen scissors to cut your chicken straight into the pan and then you only have the scissors and one mucky hand to tend to. Just a thought as chicken sticks to the board doesn't it? I hate that too.
Great idea. Thanks Tina 🙂👍
Another well put together video guys, thank you!
Just a small suggestion, put your intro music on the end as an outro to give smart tv users a bit more time to like the video. You deserve more likes than you get and id hate for you to miss any due to sluggish tv menus like mine! I always forget to do it at the start of the video and have to play it again to hit the like button. Personally I’m more than happy to make the effort to do this, but some may not. Well done 👏
That is a good suggestion which we will start doing. It will be a few episodes before it appears though as we have a few in the bag. Thanks ❤️
Ahoy Me Hearties! :D River Ribble, aye! That's my next sail! Looking amazing! To me it's not terrifying but amusing! Tame the beast while it rumbles, aye! ;) Ye Olde Naked Man's Café! That sounds fun, was afraid ye won't go in there! Hahaha! You dear folks are already masters of any kind of weather, hands down. bear hugs from yer Cap'n
Make sure to wear ye olde cork jacket when sailing down the Ribble, Cap’n. Good luck taming that beast 😂 Have no fear, no naked men here 😝 Stay safe out there. Till next time 😀❤️
@@LifeistooshortCK 🤣👍 Hahahaha 😂 yer humour won me ole cracked heart!
Ken I always worry about the front windows, as where does the water, that forms droplets all go? If you think about it they all go down into the front part of the dash where all the electrics are, like relay plates and fuse panel are usually placed.
It all depends on how you remove the moisture. So far I have never seen water running down the front screen of its own accord. It can happen though when wiping it off. I use a method of removal that does not cause that problem. So far so good.
A beautiful part of the country, but not in weather like that. I told you I would be south bound at 70 mph. Rain and wind in not my bag.
Watching this on holiday in Scotland atm
Ohhh lovely. Have a great time in Scotland 🏴 🙂👍
I am. Back home tomorrow....
Visited the Isle of Arran too
The curry looked amazing I think you might have been near Clapham the mother in law lives in Clapham nice car park to stop In the village
We did drive up the A65 past Clapham 🙂👍
I agree with you regarding McDonald's. So many people make out as though it's the most terrible food ever, but as long as you don't eat lots of it then it's fine! I got a hamburger, fries and drink from there recently and paid about £3.70, which isn't bad value either.
Cracking episode, you looked to be into a good book towards the end of the video Carol?
Either a good book or a puzzle on the iPad ☺️
12:51 what? Imagine having a river like that going past your back door.
Scary 😧
@@LifeistooshortCK I'll bet most of the year they fish over the back wall.
good vid
Cheers Lee 🙂
I was in Settle on Monday. I had better weather than you, although I spent a very wet and windy night on the Yorkshire Dales near Sedbergh on Monday night! Did you see the old water tower in Settle that was converted into a residential property? It featured on Grand Designs and they turned the roof into a rooftop sun room.
We didn’t notice the water tower in Settle but it sounds lovely 😊
Run the car ac but turn the temp up to 75 or 80 and it will quickly dry everything in the camper
That’s the beauty of a small van. It gets toasty warm and dries out very quickly 🙂👍
👍
Hi Carol and Ken. Loving going through your tour videos. Wonderful pictures as well. Please can I just ask what app you used to create the white border and title? - @purplestagcamper
The app is Affinity Photo for iPad. Affinity Photo 2 is now available.
@@LifeistooshortCK wonderful. Thank you
I never complain when someone cooks for me. 😉
The TV series Born and Breed was filmed here,.
Van life abroad McDonald one side for WiFi and Lidl the other
I love McDonalds for a change now and then. Better than Burger King.
It is junk food a total waste of anyone's money couldn't tell you when I last ate such rubbish and luckily I didn't pay. a bit of rain never harmed anyone as the saying goes it's not the wrong weather it's the wrong clothing
Cheer up misery life is just too short.
There was a time when God's house was always open. Sadly these days they have to be kept locked up when there isn't a service on because of vandals and thieves, shame 😞
True
U.k weather is crap
Only if you let it get to you. Still the best place in the world.
