WE MADE IT! I wasn't sure if this was a good idea when I set out but I'm glad we persevered to find that beautiful free park up 🙂I hope you enjoyed part one of my winter Pembrokeshire camping trip 👍. If you would like to help me make these camping videos then please consider joining my Patreon from as little as £1.99. It really helps me out with the rising fuel costs and goes towards a camp drink 🍻 www.patreon.com/brendanexplores
You bring a lot of joy on You Tube - thank you x
That's very kind of you to say 🙂 thank you for your support 👍
Lovely spot to stay overnight. So nice to have a welcoming local
Absolutely, makes the world of difference not having to watch our your shoulder 🙂
need more videos like these. meeting locals and having a fun chilled evening
Definitely mate, it was brilliant this trip 🙂👍
If you hear any strange noises from Steve’s can late at night it’ll probably just be him milking his snake with Henry the hoover…….! Not seen PES for a while, is he locked in the stockroom recording new music? Cracking video mate👍🏻
Yeh I think he's got a hand hoover for lonely nights haha and Matti might be back next summer when it's a little warmer 😂😉👍
Steve is mad in a good way always great see steve out with you 😂
🤣🤣 yeh he's a good laugh 👍
Hi Brendan, wonderful video! Great to see Steve, nice guy, glad his van was okay. What a great camping spot, nice it all worked out for you both. Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful week. Hope the family is well. Take care, Kathy x
Cheers Kathy 👍 yeh we lucked out with the spot 🙂. The food was great as well, couldn't of asked for more really. Have a good week!
When Brendan moves from looking like Jim Carey from Dumb & Dumber to laughing like Jim Carey from Ace Ventura at 00:12
🤣🤣 I can't take the Jim out of me 😂
What a gorgeous little beach town! I grew up on Vancouver Island in BC, Canada, which we lovingly call the 'wet west coast' and have always loved going to the beach in rainstorms (which happen often). Less people and just the raw power of the waves. Glad you were able to fix Steve's van. Love the town name..Cardigan. Isn't that a sweater?? lol! And what a perfect spot to overnight!! The great pizza pursuit! Loved it!
It really is a beautiful place 🙂 couldn't believe how lucky we got with the park up as well! Brilliant spot 👍. Yes Cardigan is a jumper/sweater 🤣
We've been binge watching your videos this afternoon. They are very inspiring for our next Result Trafic campervan adventures 😀
Ahh that's brilliant guys! 🙂 Thank you for watching the videos and showing your support 👍. Best of luck with your adventures!
@@BrendanExplores thanks mate, you too 👍
So blessed I've lived in Pembrokeshire for almost 19 years but I was blessed before that lived near to the Wye Valley.
From what I've seen, it's beautiful part of the country 😁. Recently went to the Wye Valley and that's also a great place 👍
Tenby is the best place in Pembrokeshire 🥰😍😍😍😍 I had the best holidays there...
Proper old school family holidays.
I have been to many places across the world, but this place is still number 1!!!!!!!
Your going to love this series then 😉 hope you enjoy the next video 👍
Great video lots of laughter and fun 🎉great food cant wait for the next one 😀🙌💯♥️xx
Cheers Heather, yeh we couldn't believe our luck when we found that spot and pub 😁
That food looked absolutely incredible! As always great content!
It tasted it as well mate 😁 glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving a comment 👍
Great video brendan that beach looked really nice that last park up by the river was a really nice spot your food looked really nice glad you enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it Sally 🙂 yeh we got really lucky being the only vans in that beautiful spot! 👍 I'd definitely go back just for the food 🤣
This was a fun video. Totally enjoyed it.
Brilliant, glad you enjoyed it 😁 thanks for leaving a comment as well 👍
More brilliant content from you Brendan 👏…. And Steve too obviously! Looked like a very interesting stop over .
Also, I absolutely agree about cosy camping in the bleaker months 👍
Cheers mate and yeh it just has such a cozy feeling looking outside when it's raining and your nice and cosy with the heating on 😁
Think that was a Euphemism when that bloke offered you a”Backdoor Pizza”…. 😮 Ooooh Matron !
🤣🤣🤣 it could well of been lol
Your video just what you need when its slippy outside and you cant get out.
Thanks brendan and friends for cheering me up and giving us a 😃 😀 😂uk
Thank you for watching Janine 😁 glad to enjoyed as I certainly enjoyed filming it 👍
Another great blog, what a coincidence, you travelling and staying in my home town of Pembrokeshire and us spending the weekend in Shrewsbury in our camper vans. We stayed in The Red Barn Car park, walked into town which was absolutely fantastic, really liked Shrewsbury shopping Center.
Oh wow! What a coincidence 😁 glad you enjoyed Shrewsbury and I hope you enjoy watching the rest of my Pembrokeshire trip 🙂
@BrendanExplores Yep, I'll look out for you, I work at the Port at Fishguard Harbour 👍
Masons Arms reminded me of the Slaughtered Lamb from the film American Werewolf in London 🐑
Nice little pub that one to be fair 👍 brilliant food shack at the back 😁
That's exactly what it reminded me of as well haha. Good job they stuck to the road and not the moors. 😀
Really enjoyed this as I am originally from Pembroke but have lived in Shrewsbury for 20 years now. I'm looking forward to the next episode so very much ❤
That's great to hear! Sneaky spoiler for you but Pembrokeshire has easily been the friendliest place I've ever been to 😁
Really good video again mate. It had a proper 'we've got no feckin idea where we're going' type of vibe, which was great and can sometimes be the best. Mind you, the water in that river had a very odd pooey brown colour look about it, well it did from my tellybox. Take care boys and best wishes to Matti.
Thanks mate, glad you liked it 🙂. Yeh we had no idea what that park up was going to be like with the floods etc. It paid off though 👍
Hi my friend We have the Delta 2 & the EB was in Blackpool for the weekend use this now back home just put them on charge & wow only cost 69p as we have tapo smart plugs all round our home wow they have been a gamechanger on how we use power in our home
Yeh its really helped my camping trips 🙂 couldn't camp without one now to be honest 👍
Hope you are well The looks you were getting walking down there lol brilliant video as normal mate
Cheers Ian 👍 yeh it was a strange one that lol. Never been looked at with such contempt than I did in Aber 🤣
People from south wales are so freindly in my experience
Yes! Absolutely, never know a place like it for friendly locals to be fair 🙂👍
“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” 🤨😆
It certainly did that night 🤣🤣
I was totally expecting the pub to fall silent and everyone turn to stare at you when you walked in! 😂
Did anyone advise you not to venture onto the moors at night? 🐺😬😂
Looking forward to next week's vid; I love the Pembrokeshire coast!
Although the video didn't really do it justice it kinda did do that 🤣🤣🤣 no warnings about the moors though, might have to venture there one night 😉👍. Great food though! Glad you enjoyed the video mate 😁
Love that film
It’s South Wales that’s why mate, try Porthmadog or the surrounding area. 😄 I live in Mid Wales and everyone is sound tbh. Mind I’m a Yorkshireman so no threat. 😂
Nice hair cut Brendan, 👍, that weather was really bad driving to your destination. I never thought to have butter on a Welsh cake, you mean to say all these years of eating them dry I could have been indulging? 🤣🤣
Keep up the great work mate, stay safe. 👍
Cheers mate and yeh, I thought a couple times on the way we were going to have to turn back.. glad we pushed up in the end though 🙂. Definitely have them with butter 😋👍
Tell Steve I've also got a vivaro 1.9dti that's just had a an array of work Inc that famous boost sensor 🤣 She done me well but now time to sell her and get something bigger ☺️
Sorry guys but Cardigan isnt in Pembrokeshire, its in Ceredigion. You need to travel a few more miles to get into Pembrokeshire. Trust me i have lived here all my life ..Nice to see you travelling down to the shire tho :)
Hey Brendan, great video! I'm always two months behind you, and my version isn't even in production yet. But it was an amazing trip, and I'm sure everyone will love the next episode. As for my van, it had a minor issue with water in the solenoid of the boost sensor, but Brendan's trusty scanner saved the day. I was about to go back home, but Brendan convinced me otherwise. Despite my initial doubts about the weather, it all turned out fine. Thanks again!
Pleasure to have you camping with me mate 🙂. Glad the vans now back to 100% health! Never fear my friend, even if disaster strikes, atleast we'll be laughing 🤣🤣👍
It was a great adventure... No doubt! Many more to come!@@BrendanExplores
Great episode pal love British weather 😂
Cheers mate 🙂 I personally hate it but makes for good viewing 😂😂
What a beautiful place to park up, Great vid as always B, x
Yeh I was very pleasantly surprised it was so nice 😁 glad you enjoyed it Dee 👍
Eey nice video, reminds me off the times I went to Wales been to all the places in the video, and England camping with my parents and brothers great time. We also had very nice dry days haha. And the fuel prices? Well there alot over there, but could be worse, we in the Netherlands pay over 2 euros a liter now ridiculous.
Wow.. 2 Euros a litre??!! That's crazy... Glad you enjoyed the video though and we can hope and pray prices come down soon but I won't hold my breathe 🤣
That rain alone would make me sleep hitting the van
Yeh it was very relaxing I must say 😁
We stayed in that carpark back in July. Its a cracking little spot. Went to cilgerran castle which was nice. Weather was a lot nicer when we went though😃
Isn't it just 🙂 bet it was lovely in the summer! Was it busy?
@@BrendanExplores not overly. I think it's one of those spots that is hidden out of the way enough it doesn't get loads of visitors. The ones that did turn up didn't stay for too long anyway
@@jasondate3690 ahhh nice! But of a hidden gem then 🙂
@BrendanExplores oh definitely. Well until now anyway 🤣🤣
Really enjoy your vids Brendan . Its a scone before you eat it and it's scon after.😅
🤣🤣 I like that lol. Glad you liked the video mate 🙂👍
Nice video mate, I love your content. Keep up the great work
Thanks buddy, appreciate your support and leaving a comment 🙂. Glad your enjoying the videos 👍
Living in Canada make my own Welsh Cakes usually toped with PB&J or Molasses.
Ooo nice! I didn't know the Welsh was that popular elsewhere but they are delicious 😋
Great video and that park up was spot on. RESULT!!
Thanks mate, yeh probably the best spot I've been to yet to be fair 😁
@@BrendanExplores Looks great I'll definitely remember that one in future adventures if I'm in the area.
Lovely to see you heading down to the Welsh coast, that spot looks gorgeous, and the pub and pizza place is an idyllic insight into welsh village life... Based near Cardiff airport so holiday down that way quite a bit... Looking forward to seeing you head further down the coast... If you get down to St David's, check out The Bishops pub, the food is banging.... Be nice to see you down The Vale of Glamorgan one day... Safe trip.... 😎👍
Cheers Jason, glad you enjoyed it mate 🙂 it's a beautiful part of the country 👍 can't wait to show you the rest
more great content sir! Need more stealth camps like the early days! less luxury and more danger 🤣🤣
You'll absolutely love the winter camps then! 🤣🤣Plenty of struggle incoming lol
Yep £1.57 per litre here also in S Yorkshire ... £60 for half a tank in my T6.1. (Petrols not far off price wise either) I love Pembrokeshire, my mum moved there some time back. Dinas head has a beach either side, one with an old church remain, the other with pub grub. Enjoy!
Crazy prices mate, needs to come down under a £1 in my opinion but hey ho. From what I've seen of Pembrokeshire so far, it's absolutely gorgeous!
That park up looks amazing.
It was mate, couldn't believe it. Has everyone we wanted. 24 hour toilets, no signs forbidding campers and right next to river with benches to sit on 🙂
I was born and bred in Cardigan, left in 1975 when I was 26, spend many happy times in Cilgerran as a teenager. First serious girlfriend from there! Sarah from the Pendre Inn!
Did you make a bad decision? Nope! Absolutely not! Looks like a great place for a park-up. Friendly locals, great food .. Awesome! Nice one, Brendan 👍
Cheers Ken 🙂 yeh it all ended up being worth it 👍. When I first started out and crossed the Welsh border though, I was seriously thinking about turning back.. glad we pushed on!
Got stung in that car park in Aber. It was gutting. 😂
You got stung? How come buddy?
Mmmm snake milk
I recon they are avin u on 😂
Snakes got tiny udders
🤣🤣 we actually walked past the business that does it lol. Think they extract venom for antidotes. What a random find haha
Hello Brendan, The misses and myself decided to go to Wales to travel around it and we visited Aberystwyth... That beach is beautiful to have a walk up and down followed by fish and chips from the pier 🤤 Also those Welsh cakes are beautiful divine! Also what's even more strange is my misses is call Sophie 🤣
I love your videos bro ☺️
Nice one Hayden 🙂 glad you enjoyed your trip mate 👍. I hadn't been to Aber for about 10 years and although the weather wasn't on our side and the locals were giving us some side eye lol, we still had a great time. Thanks for all the support buddy, appreciate you leaving a comment 👍
You are in my neck of the woods Brendan, my mate literally lives at the top of the lane where you were parked in cilgerran, wish I had known you were this way I’d have come down for a chat
Great video lads 👍
Thank you 😁 we had a good laugh on this one 👍
I thought that little coin bag / wallet logo thing looked like the old blackpool pleasure beach smile logo 😂
The last thing I thought he would say was Henry the hoover 🤣🤣
Cardigan is west Wales (my neck of the woods). Then when you went into Cilgerran, is when you went into Pembrokeshire. Great video as always. I don't comment very much but I do watch them all.
Nice to see you comment Claire 🙂 it really helps the channel 👍 glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you like next week's 😁
@BrendanExplores thank you. I shared it to the guy in the butchers. So lots of people in the area will see it too. Hopefully get you some more deserved subscribers 😊
@@ClaireAxtell that's very kind of you, thank you very much 🙂
@BrendanExplores you're welcome. Looking forward to the next video 😊
I knew it was Henry hahaha
What Ridge Monkey do you have. Seen the XL but looks smaller than yours Cheers
Hey buddy, mine is called the compact XL, I have a link in the description that goes to the exact one I use 🙂
@@BrendanExplores Cheers mate much appreciated
If it’s been sprayed out then it’s 20mph!
Cardigan is westwales.
Isn’t he the New Home Historian?!
He certainly is 😉👍
🤣🤣🤣from Jim Carey to Kim Jong Un ✂️✂️✂️✂️
🤣🤣🤣 the only styles I know mate lol
@@BrendanExplores to be fair ...I use clippers and constantly shave it off once the guard falls off mid cut 🤣🤣
What is a backdoor pizza?
If you some of my latest videos you will know exactly what a backdoor pizza is 😉🤣. Seriously though, it was a delicious pizza 🍕
Never attempt to drive through Deepish water . We did that and had to have a new engine build !!!! 😡
Wasn’t gabin n Stacey done there in one scene
This is a local town for local people 😮
🤣🤣 when the lady said the pub has a different name for the locals, I thought, oh no... Here we go lol. Lovely village and the people were so friendly 👍
Theirs nothing for you heeeeaaaar😅😂
can you do the peddle test on these like the astra
Not sure what that is?
@@BrendanExplores press the brake and accelerator turn on ignition and the fault codes show on the dash
One is a ripe grape and the other isn’t
You just butchered a Welsh cake! You're not supposed to cut them in half you're supposed to put the butter on top! And they looked mediocre to boot!
To single boys doing what single boys do
We're both married 🤣🤣 but I get the point lol 👍
You look gay because of your fresh face appearance and your diamond ear stud's , they were popular about 15 years ago but now it's not the same
If I seen to two walking down the road I'd think your both boyfriends no lie. Hahahaha
Another great vid Brendan
Cheers Steve 🙂 glad you liked it mate 👍
