The New Forest turns NASTY - VANLIFE UK

- Join us, Carol & Ken, as we take a trip to the New Forest in our Consort Nova Motorhome called Snoopy.
In this video, with a storm closing in we have to leave our park up to get out of the winds. The forest is so wet and, with roads partially flooded, we head to an open area we know to park safely. A blown fuse changes our plans and we have to move on again.
Back at the coast, a walk nearly ends in disaster as Ken takes a tumble. A comforting meal is called for to end the day!
The next day is Good Friday so traffic causes mayhem at our park up. We take a walk along the shingle spit to explore Hurst Castle and finish the day with one of Ken’s favourite meals.

🔶 About us 🔶
Welcome to our channel! We're Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our camper van, which we have just upgraded to a slightly larger model.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.
We're passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. We're always learning and look forward to sharing our campervanning experiences with you.
While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local food. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos.
We like historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We aim to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.
We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.
Our channel is perfect for armchair travellers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our 'Buy Me a Coffee' fund, helps to keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. ❤️

My 3 year old grandson always thinks a yellow traffic light means “boot it” 😂😂
As long as the van is not leaking, it is part of the fun😅
Agreed 👍
Just found you tonight, and subscribed right after your video. You have a beautiful calming aura around you both. Also a quiet, dry humor I love. Can’t wait to see what else you treat us to in the future!
Thanks for subscribing and we are glad you like the videos 👍
great viewing ...showing the real life cooking in camper vanning ....well done ken and charlie brown 🥰
Enjoyed the video. Your van looks so cozy when you are all inside and the rain is pouring outside and wind is blowing . Take care .
Thanks 👍
Ken’s very lucky to have an excellent cook
@@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957 YES I agree, I’ve copied a few ideas from , I enjoy the cooking part in the videos
I lived in the New Forest for over 20 years. Used to often go down the road to Milford on Sea.
Nice place in some ways, not in others. Thanks for the vlog xx
Despite the weather conditions your both making it a fun trip & you drove past my Road ( Boscombe) 😊 great video thanks for sharing 😊
So bizarre to watch this whilst we are all sweltering, strangely comforting 🤷♀️Great video as always
I love how y'all take turns cooking 👍👍
Well done Officer Ken for chasing down that fleeing cap, you’ve still got those cop instincts.
😂
@@LifeistooshortCK At least it didn't fight back when you caught it! :)
Jon in rural BC, Canada
We never worried about the wind when parked up, and we had a coachbuilt on a few stormy days. Weather forecasts usually exaggerate wind speed, it's always 'up to x miles' which could mean anything 😂. I've never seen a panel van blown over whilst parked up 😂.
I have not seen a van either but I vividly remember my dads caravan and awning being written off down in Cornwall when we went out for the day.
I could list to you both all day !!! I love the fact you have a van with more room - you both deserve it ❤
Thank you 🙏
Good advice on driving on slippery roads and looking behind BEFORE breaking! 6:10
Oh wow I have just found your Chanel and I must say it’s delightful Thankyou so much for sharing your adventures. Looking forward to the next one And catching up with older posts x
Hi Julie, glad to have you aboard👍
Have you thought of cookbook for vanlife? You're good at being inventive. ❤
Maybe one day ☺️
I enjoyed the cooking segments. That weather was horrible, but you were cozy on the inside!
Found you both last night and I love watching and listening, so soothing 😊
Thanks for watching ❤️
master cook😀
Such a cute couple!
Love the way you are both so creative with your meals. The van is really cosy with that storm howling outside.
I don't really care much for watching people travel & cook, but I enjoyed your video.😊 New Subscriber
Thanks for the sub 😁👍
That’s just what I love about van life. It wouldn’t do for us all to be the same though would it!
Thanks again for having us along on your journey!
Thanks for watching 🙂
Snoopy = a safe, cozy haven in a storm ❤
Enjoyed your adventure from Boca Ciega Bay Florida
Hello Florida ❤️
Handy tip for keeping a hat on the wifes head in a storm " heavy duty staples" 🤣
Screws, you can use them multiple times 😁👍
what a lovely couple and vlog❤
Thanks ❤️
Hello, your channel popped into my feed. You are both so lovely and you also made me laugh! Thankyou for taking me on this journey, I look forward to your next video. I have also subscribed! Take care 🙂🙂
@@mundesley2348 thanks for subscribing 👍 We have plenty of videos in our playlists and post new ones every Friday at 6pm UK time 🙂
Ive only just found this chanel 🤗 i love it already 💖💙
Good to hear. Welcome 👍
I love your van! It always looks so cozy in bad weather. And the food you make looks so good! Hope you get a break from the rain and wind. Send some rain this way to Colorado where it is so very dry. My mother used to make the peas and onions in a white sauce all the time. . Thank you for the idea!
It would be nice if we could share the rain 👍
Great hat save Ken. Fast on your feet, committed to the task. You could teach the England team a thing or t two there. Entertaining as always. thanks :)
I thought that wind would tug it away from me so I gave it the full body slam 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK 👏😆🫣
So much pleasure watching these videos !
You could of just bought a soup maker, they are fab , just throw everything in it and it does all the work. Happy travels.
Nothing quite as cozy as riding out a storm in the van! Nice save on the hat! Really enjoyed the video as always - my Friday treat! Take care❤
Cheers 👍
Love your videos❤ thanks for sharing
It was noticed how you scarfed the sandwich and even thought about what size bite it might take these days for full satisfaction and yet savor it longer. Have had some experience with ‘mindful eating.’ Grilled Ham and cheese mmmm. I’m seeing how hat and cap pins can make a fun comeback.
Mindful eating. I like the sound of that. Policing teaches you to eat very quickly as so many meals have to be abandoned. It’s a habit I would like to break.
Great vid Carol & Ken 😁
Love you pair✌️stay safe and enjoy. Julie in Australia
@@julieharris1872 thanks Julie 🙂
Grrrreat! I love it, cooking et al! 😊 feels like I’m with you. Those sausage tasted lovely! ☺️ 😋
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Really enjoy your vlogs
Nice Hat save! Also some good van dinner ideas! Nice one...
That’s fair old storm … the infamous ‘Ken Tumble’- the old frittata looking good
Well done ken for the hat save 🙂 I love seeing the rain no matter what time of the year 😊
Thanks for the enjoyable video, great to see how you face storms with high winds, doing all the cooking at the same time....
Both the meals looked delishious 😋😋😋😋😋
Great 👍

Good video on travels keep up the good video nice food thanks for the travel video thanks lee
Cheers Lee ❤️
Great video. I’ve forgotten all about the 5 months of rain we had now the sun’s shining. I always enjoy seeing what you cook in the van. Delia does a lovely white onion sauce for smoked cod/haddock. You use the poaching milk and add chopped hard boiled egg, delicious. Mind the peas would be nice added too. We sometimes have the Lidl Frikadellen in their panini rolls with cheese and tomato sauce and we call them the Carol and Ken’s 😁. Thanks as always for sharing another entertaining video.
Glad you enjoyed it❤️
Love watching your video
Thanks Eamonn.
It's a joy to watch you both .you're a lovely couple 🎉 you really enjoy the adventure you are on ❤take care ,stay safe ❤

Another nice video Ken and Carol many greetings from Stockholm Sweden
Glad you enjoyed it. Greetings to Stockholm ❤️
The van seems to handle inclement weather quite nicely. That looked delicious. Very nice video.
Hi Larry. The van is doing great 👍
Toasties a firm favourite in the van. Your fuse issue made us think, must get some spares 👍
They have been added to our emergency kit along with the cable ties and gaffer tape 😄👍
So cozy hearing the wind blowing outside while you cooked. Nice meals are part of the small joys of life. Have a great summer ☀️🌸
So true. Thanks, you too ❤️
You Two, are wonderful to view ❣
Thanks ❤️

Thank You For That Super Video ❤️
You are welcome. 👍
I love watching you both, I'm trying to convince my husband to get a campervan now.
Thank you for being so friendly, interesting and true to life. X
We enjoy it a lot. Give it a try 😁👍
great video we too have a routine i do indoors husband does outdoor .
Crikey, that was quite the hoolie! The sausages looked delish!
It certainly was! 😀
A great video Carole and Ken pleased to see you avoided the worst of the storm as I can vouch on the coast was pretty bad as the waves were coming over the harbour wall in Bridlington East Yorkshire.
We wouldn’t have wanted it to be any worse 😅
That was a very wet and windy trip. Glad you got your hat back OK good job 👏 have a great weekend 😀
Thanks, you too!
Hello Ken corol u 2 deserve an Oscar for these vid bloody fantastic take care ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
Good to see you both again, hope that you both are having a great day. Your celery soup looked delicious. What you had ,before looked so yummy.
Thank you! You too!
Chasing down the escaping hat whilst navigating filming and a storm is exceptional sportsmanship! Onion sauce is my favourite too and it looked delicious with peas, will definitely give that a go in the cooler weather. Thanks for another great video, safe travels both.
Enjoy that sauce 😁👍
Enjoyed all the do'ins of you both! Glad the hat was rescued and I think peas can go in just about any lovely sauce! Great job. Those hand held blender are a big time saver for sure.
Thanks so much ❤️
Shared to my Facebook page. Thank you for the video. Have a good day. 😀
Thanks for that Steven ❤️👍
I roared with laughter at the 2 of you when the wind blew Carol’s hat off…….a moment of comedy gold. Glad you stayed safe😀👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Your dinner looks delicious. Have a wonderful evening.
Thank you! You too!
We love watching you guys you are a pleasure to watch,,
❤Phil/Tina x
Cheers Phil & Tina thanks for watching ❤️
I so enjoyed this. The fuse box in your van is so much easier to get at than mine!! This is one road I will not be visiting. I just simply won’t fit. Now you have given me the idea of the soup. Haven’t made in years . Thank goodness you caught your hat! I’d have to bring you another one!😉
Thanks for watching. The hat is safe and sound 😄❤️
I’m so pleased you decided to get yourself a bigger camper. I was getting quite worried for your health ❤
We are quite pleased as well 😁👍
Great video horrendous weather the food was delicious I’m going to make the onion sauce safe travels xx
Enjoy the onion sauce 🙂👍
😂oh noo! Must save the hat 😅 That certainly blew the cobwebs away 😂 Em & G 💜
Instinct with a large helping of stupidity 😁👍
Funny watching this after our mini heatwave! Lovely meals and thanks for the driving tips: rain after a dry spell makes it slippery. Must get a small squeezy bottle for the oil, beats spray fry light! X
Definitely 🙂👍
