- UK VANLIFE NEEDS HELP! I hope camping in my car doesn't get any harder.. We need more places like this to camp and explore nature in the outdoors for cheap. This was a beautiful camping location for a night away in the Shropshire hills that was low cost. #vanlife #carcamping #camping #stealthcamping #wildcamping #camper #Shropshire

It's such a shame that spots like these are so rare in the UK... I was quite happy to pay my £3 parking fee for the night. VanLife in the UK needs to change! A big thank you to all my Patreon and channel members for helping me put fuel in the tank ❤ if you would also like to support me then here is a link to my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/brendanexplores
Welcome 👌 your rightt there is not a lot of places like this at all. Thanks for the video great again. The weather looked lovely for it to
@@denicejenkinsonfamilycampe2844 cheers 🙂 I really wish a few more spots were available like this one around the UK.. Would support local economies and help people travel on a budget 🙂
I also headed into Wales after, loved Shropshire and Wales was amazing, but too many, no overnight parking ! Signs.
Brendon im planning my first car camp and this looked perfect! can you let me know where exactly it is??
The only bad thing about this video is that it ends! I love the content keep it up
Ahh cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
All good things come to an end 😞
I've been watching your channel lots !!! Really enjoy them . If I was younger I'd do this full time lol. Thank you for a great show to watch. The music is excellent as well. Oh side note, my oldest son is Brendan ❤❤❤
Brendan, get yerself up to the West coast of Scotland. Beautiful scenery plus free parking. Not to mention square sausage, totti scones and Haggis 😄
Ooo believe me, I will be very soon mate 🙂 it sounds and looks amazing 👍
Nice park up, just shows that you don’t have to go far.
Exactly mate 👍 just what we both needed 🙂
Thought I recognised the renault van, it was me and my partner turned up in the motorhome.
Oh really?? Wow 🙂 shame we didn't say hello but I hope you had a good night 👍
Nice one! Love that pan. Great edit
Cheers mate, appreciate it 🙂👍
God Brendan that looked awesome making me very hungry 🤣🤣
It was delicious 😋 glad you like it 👍
Hi Brendan another wonderful vid from you and Dave .I'm a Shropshire lass and I'm delighted that lovely nice genuine folks like you do these vids and highlight Shropshire .lots of hugs Laura X.
Thank you very much Laura 🙂 I do love shropshire to be fair ❤️ beautiful county 👍
One can see how much you enjoyed this camp. Massive grin 😀 all the way through. An epic watch.
Thank you mate and yeh, this was a welcome relaxed night after some of my previous camps 🙂👍
Very good and really liking the ridge monkey....I've never thought about toasting the stuffed wrap...if you set up an affiliate with ridge monkey I'll buy through you.
Great channel thank you 👍
Thank you mate, I really appreciate that 🙂 I actually have an Amazon affiliate link to the one I use in the description of this video 👍. Thanks for your support!
Gorgeous views!! One day I'd like to fly to England, rent a camper van and travel! Definitely need more of those car parks!
Yeh it's a beautiful country and one day I would love to do the same in the US 😁👍
Ever thought of a company to black your rear windows. So you wouldnt have to bother with the covers?
I have actually mate but when the lights are on in the back a tint probably cut it. Good shout though 🙂👍
Hi Brendan, excellent video, what a beautiful spot! Glad you and Dave had a good night camping...you guys deserve it after the experiences you've been having lately! It's always great to see Dave, nice guy! Loved the drone footage. Thanks for sharing, take really good care of yourself, stay well! Hope the family is well. Please give Mika a cuddle for me. Lots of love Kathy x
Thanks Kathy, yeh this camp was definitely needed 🙂. It was really nice to know we have paid only £3 and can stay there for the night. Very relaxing 👍. Have a good week, take care!
Thank God here in Greece we don't have "No overnight parking or Sleeping" signs everywhere. Only "No Camping" signs in some beaches.
Great video Brendan, and amazing shots!👌
That sounds like heaven mate! I'll have to try and make my way to Greece at some point 👍 one of my favourite country's 🙂
@@BrendanExplores Thanks. You're going to love Greece and our kitchen!😉
@@JOYsCAmpeR_ADV when's the invite 😉👍😂
Great video and what lovely views
Thanks Carl 👍 this was a brilliant camp to be fair 🙂. Makes a difference when you find places like these!
I bloody love your cooking Brendan😋
Thank you Nancy 🙂 I bloody love it too! 😉😋👍
Mate, Your one of the best out there, your vids are so real.., Keep it up fella.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate, that means a lot to hear that 🙂 plenty more adventures on the way 👍
This is area is much better 🏞 Just Amazing View! Love the overnight time lapse . Dave ia a real nice guy . It Costs way more in Alabama to park a RV or anything overnight and it can only be in around RV Parks or Maybe rest areas for truckers. The zfood looked yummy! 😋
Cheers Sharon 👍 it was a beautiful spot for sure 🙂. We need more of these in the UK. Was good getting out with Dave again, good laugh. The food always goes down well 😋. Have a good week Sharon!
Hi lads nice to see you lovely to be with you on your camping trip this sure is interesting and lots fun your meals were nice and the scenery breath taking I would be happy camping around the country's taking in 🙂🙂🙂🙂😅😅😅😅💙💙💙💙all the awsome sights
Thank you very much 🙂 this was one of the best I've been on 👍. I'll definitely be cooking those wraps again that's for sure!
I *LOVE* Aldi, proper cheap, but excellent value. With the heather in full bloom, I thought you were in the Highlands of Scotland doing a Braveheart 😆
Wild camping is the best, in Scotland, you can wild camp in a vehicle any place you like, laws in England and Wales are more restrictive.
I`ve camped in my Suzuki Vitara many times during the summer, never had any issues. Just camp, enjoy and leave it looking untouched.
What`s for dinner ? " A proper fat bastar@s wrap" and " if you get the shits, don`t blame me" .... Love it, love it, love it 🤣
Yes mate! Best shop around and I'm not sponsored 🤣😉. I can't wait to get up to Scotland 👍. Once I get a van, me and the family will be up there in a shot! 😁. Dinner was the cherry on the cake on this camp 🙂
Really enjoyable watch the wraps looked amazing definitely try those brilliant park up thank you 😊
Thanks Sue 🙂 I'll definitely be cooking the wraps again! 😁
Good to see you do a nice easy, scenic camp... Food looked great too👍🏻
Thank your very much buddy 🙂👍 it certainly made a change lol
Cracking video mate. Can't belive how hard the UK is making over night vehicle camping. 😞 Glad you and Dave found a good place. When I was a kid in Kent, Dad used to take us out to the beach and we'd have lunch around the car boot. The overnights were in a caravan. Good times and memories. I have spent a lot of time with friends from Shropshire. They're from Ludlow and Telford area. The Iron Bridge is amazing. Food looks tasty. I'm loving the peace and quiet of North Somerset. UK is so lovely. Be well and stay safe. 🙏
Cheers Paul 🙂 it's becoming really frustrating trying to find decent park ups in the UK but this was a little bit of heaven 👍. I've got loads of memories in caravans as a kid, they are brilliant 😁. Glad your enjoying your stay in Somerset!
Great video Brendan and what a fabulous spot you both found. Catch you next time, have a great week 👍🏻
Cheers guys 😁 yeh this was a nice spot to find after my last video lol 👍
A really enjoyable video, Brendan. Lovely area, really glad that you weren’t disturbed 🍻
Thanks Ken and it's a brilliant spot mate 🙂. Glad it was a quiet night as well 👍
What an awesome find! Beautiful spot and great footage!
Thank you 🙂 it really was a brilliant spot tucked away in the hills for a quiet night away 👍
What a fantastic place to stop, always loved the stiperstones and the area, so peaceful out there even with people about. Loving the food ideas too, and it looked amazing. Surprising on how versatile the ridgemonkey really is. Great video too, enjoyed it fully and looking forward to the next one. ATB Russ
Cheers Russ 🙂 what made it so great was the fact we were allowed to be there lol. £3 was a fair price for a relaxed night 👍
Literally parked about a mile away from there tonight!
I’m so hungry after watching your vid. Looks great food 👍🏻 love the vid & drone footage
😂 You've gotta cook it now 😋 glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Love what you do..someone gave me a peugeot 107..i made blackout curtains earlier free..getting a blow up back seat mattress..cant wait to travel..whats best protection for a single lady?
Thank you and congrats on starting your car camping journey 😁. Best advice would be start somewhere your familiar with and try and camp in places where there are other campers around 👍 but in all honesty, the vanlife/camper community is a pretty solid one where your more likely to be given a warm welcome than any trouble. Have a fun 🙂
Smashing video, really enjoyed it
Thank you Rick 🙂 glad you liked it 👍
Nice one mate 👍
Thanks John 🙂
Cracking video once again Brendan, your vids are so chilled out and relaxing to watch with a cold beverage or two! keep up the good work brother. cheers!
Thanks Mark 🙂 glad they give off that vibe as that's exactly what I look for when watching RUclips 👍. Appreciate your continued support mate
Another sparkling episode of cook with Brendan! Great video - Hopefully we can get our trip organized guys when I finally get my van back!
Cheers buddy 👍 and absolutely, fingers crossed it's not long 🙂
Very nice Brendan - thank you. I did a self-build LWB Relay during Lockdown Part 1. Had to sell it though - can't have two vans. But they are a great size.
Thank you mate and yes I would love a relay to convert 🙂 one day 👍
@@BrendanExplores Big snag though. That would be the end of stealth camping, it would prevent access to a great many car parks and multi story car parks.
Absolutely love this video Brendan 😁
Thanks Hayden 🙂 appreciate that mate 👍
I've been contemplating whether to get out camping for so long now.. I'm buying the bullet and going on a roadtrip 😉
@@haydenbarr8265 brilliant to hear mate! Have a great time 🙂👍
Cracking videos. Love the channel. You have a great voice for video. Like a local Radio station DJ lol. Keep going mate and you will be one of the top RUclips channels.
Cheers Chris 🙂 appreciate you having faith in me 👍. I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞😁
Completely agree, things have got to
Change. We’re a couple of weeks/months looking for a camper and dreading not
Being find anywhere to park up
Have you thought about a Talbot Swift?
What's Talbot Swift?
Great video as usual mate, can’t wait for Daves too, been to go outdoors at festival park Hanley today for 4 things… pop up washing bowl, water container to hold about 15litre and gas canisters for the go system cooker…. And a 12v cooler…. NOT any of them were there!! 😂😂 keep the great videos going and hope to meet you some day
Thanks mate 🙂 they didn't have any of those things? That's shocking! Time of year though I guess. Try Halfords? They do a good camping selection. Appreciate your support and likewise buddy 👍
I love these videos great content
Thank you very much 🙂👍
Hi Brendan
Try and get yourself down to a coast you’ll love it, I’m opposite the isle of wight The new forest you’ll be amaze how beautiful it is here. L
I'll be heading back there very soon 🙂 I love being by the sea 👍. I'd love to get to the Isle of Wight one day!
A recipe for you Brendan, A wrap spread with peanut butter and a sprinkle ( a-lot) of sweet chilli sauce, iceberg lettuce and salad stuff, beautiful and i love it x
Now that is an unusual recipe but interesting to try it for sure 🙂👍 thanks for the recipe
What a lovely area,great video, great food thank you.
Thank you very much 🙂 yeh it's lovely around there 👍
Content getting better by the week mate....great, no-nonsense channel...very enjoyable. Cheers
Glad you think so mate and I appreciate you leaving a comment to say it 🙂👍
As always great video and really enjoy sharing your adventures 😀
Thank you very much and I love sharing them with you 🙂👍
Great vid & tasty food! 🤩 Glad you both found a great location for a car camp 😀
Thanks Rachel 👍 yeh this was a one of a kind spot this one 🙂 wish there was more like them! Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome camp and brilliant content , love watching 👍
Thank you very much 🙂 appreciate you leaving a comment and saying that 👍
I think I found a new channel to watch now. Good content. Been car camping for few months in my estate now. N500 was my first experience car camping and now am hooked. Mid wales is a good spot no signs and remote location
The NC500 was your first experience? Fair play 🙂 I can see why your hooked 👍. I'm hoping to do that soon one day as well 😁
@@BrendanExplores yes NC500 was my first ever car camping adventure for 6 nights, and made proper food outside like you do. went straight to the deep end with this, i did do 2 months of planning so was well prepared, 2nd car camping trip was in Snowdonia for 2 nights
Great vid mate. Very jealous of both of you being out there in nature. One day.
Thanks buddy! And I hope you get there soon 👍 happy camping 🙂
Great video. Really liking your content. love the overnight time lapse. It's just gorgeous. Keep up the hard with and glad to see your having fun
Cheers Austen 🙂 glad your enjoying the videos! It was a brilliant spot to find this one 👍 thanks for your support
Imma have to go check this one out ..Nice spot ..another great video
Definitely 👍 it's a lovely little spot in the hills 🙂
Fantastic video have you a postcode or co ords or three words thingy for this place ?
Thank you mate, it's called the bog mine car park in minsterly 🙂👍
loving the recipes Brendan.Specially since I finally got my ridge monkey. I'm really impressed with it and it was watching your car camp the other week that finally convinced me to get one. great spot and grwat content as usual. I must admit, the idea of meeting up for a camp with another person appeals better to be than going solo. I Agree we need more spots like the one you stayed in. I'd love to try it myself.Its not that far from my home town of manchester. regards, Kenny.
Cheers Kenny 🙂 I hope you cook some of the recipes from the channel 👍. Yeh it's always nice to have company on a camp that's for sure 😁
I've been mulling over a van conversion in my mind for a while now too. The only problem is, the main ingredients for conversion and travelling (vans, timber and diesel) are all too bloody expensive at the moment!
Couldn't agree with you more mate! It's nearly impossible to do anything the days for cheap...
Never made a wrap with the ridge monkey but after seeing that it looks awesome, Nice spot fella they should have designated car parks for cars and vans to sleep overnight in all over the country for three quid a night that would be awesome.
You've definitely got to give it a go buddy 🙂 and I totally agree 👍 would make life so much easier and bring so much to local economies
G'day Mate from "The Land Down Under" Orbost Australia. Love your videos very entertaining and relaxing to watch.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Paul 🙂 glad your enjoying them and one day I'll get to Australia to go touring 😁👍
Me and my girl would love to have you guys stay here if you would ever like to explore the area mate. Free accommodation and food just bring your own beer brother LOL 😆
@@paulsheehan7287 your a gentleman sir 👍 thank you very much 🙂. I may just take you up on that one day 😉
Thankyou mate, feel free at some stage in the future to contact me if you would like to explore a bit of Victoria, Australia.
This is a beautiful part of the world. I Look forward to following more of your fun adventures.
What car park was it ? We should have more places to park up like this
Couldn't agree more and it's called the bog mine car park, minsterly 🙂👍
Love the banter you and Dave have 🤣 When he said Hello you weapon lol x I swear he has the same sayings as me 🤣
What a success this overnight was, miles better than the last stealth 😏x
And i must try that chicken it looks delicious 😋 Another great vid Brendon and that time lapse was beautiful 😍
Thank you very much 🙂 yeh gotta have some banter lol. This was a really chilled camp, which is what you want 👍. Definitely try that chicken as it's delicious 😋
@@BrendanExplores Bless ya, thank you Brendan x
Nice video as always Brendan. You guys look like you gave a good laugh. Are you going to the overlander show in a couple of weeks?
Thanks mate and yeh we have a good laugh 🙂. I won't be at that one no as I'm on holiday with the family 👍
@@BrendanExplores Good to hear. Have a good one with the family mate, hopefully catch up with you again soon 👍
Great video! Where was that last car park? 👍
Cheers mate and it's called the bog mine car park minsterly 🙂
Hi brendan
I'm going to church stretton the weekend.... would love to camp at this place, could you say where it is ?
Cheers!
Hey mate, this wasn't on church stretton but it's called the bog mine car park in minsterly 🙂👍
Top vid thanks
Thank you very much 🙂
Love your vids Brendan ,but you do have a lot of issues with wild camping down your way . It's a shame as you find nice spots . It would be a big adventure,but you need to try come up to Scotland. We're a lot more relaxed about wild Camping ....except around Loch Lomond. Keep the vids coming .
Martin.
Hey Martin, yeh, Shropshire is a bit of a nosy county I'm afraid so it's hard to be left alone to your own business half the time. Would absolutely love to get up to Scotland again at some point 🙂👍
Excellent as usual!
Thank you very much 🙂 appreciate that 👍
Don't go hungry will you 😆
No chance of that happening here 😂😁👍
Where do you get all your cooking music from??? 😂 👍
😂😂 a place called epidemic sound 🙂👍
Cheers Brendan, what was the track called you were using and what membership did you go for on there?
@@stu13th the song name has escaped me mate and I most probably went for the cheapest option 😂
One of nice Roams parking spots 👌
And what a spot it is 🙂👍
@@BrendanExplores lots of places around the mynnd and church Stretton beautiful this time of year
@@shropshireladoutdoors743 absolutely mate 🙂 so blessed to live in this county 👍
Have you been on clee hill summit great views from there
@@shropshireladoutdoors743 I will be going there in the near future that's for sure, beautiful spot 🙂👍
Like your van homes cosy nice
Mines the car 🙂 but I love it 👍
I think, its going to be van life, on the fringes or live in a megacity
You might be right there buddy
@@BrendanExplores only an opinion, alphabet sanctions that shit, keep up the goood work
That's really disappointing that car park has always been free and I've spent many nights there who gets the money and how do you pay if you haven't got a phone I've seen a few RUclips overnight videos there recently and nobody has mentioned paying for parking.
Other than that great blog as usual💕
Ahh they must of recently introduced the charges then. Yeh it is a shame it's not free but I'll be honest, £3 for the night was a welcome sight considering most park ups these days cost you £5000+ 🤣🤣 I'll settle for £3 👍
Hi, what size Ridgemonkey do you have?
Great videos.
Hey Paul, I have the XL 🙂 I actually have a link to the exact one I use in the video description if that helps 👍
Never by pre marinated or seasoned meats. They are about past their date and THAT'S why, THEY season tbem and resell them.
As for the stove, out Aluminium over it with cut out for burner and it will be easier to clean.
Thanks to the tip mate 🙂 appreciate it 👍
No problem.
Where was u ? I’m in Telford nearly set up for car camping but gettin car tent
Thats it ,bring a mate then you dont have to run away when some one turns up 🤣🤣😂😂
Where about was this park up in Shropshire? Thanks
This was in minsterly at a place called the bog mine car park 🙂👍
What’s Dave’s RUclips channel ?
Shame spots like these are so hard to find Cornwall is a no go now for these spots
It really is mate.. imagine how great it would be for this type of park up to be scattered around the UK. Hopefully one day 🙂👍
@@BrendanExplores I think with lock down we have jumped back 4 years with van life
Love your videos Brendan! What’s the name of Dave’s channel?
Thanks mate and his channel is called Dave Outdoors 🙂 check him out 👍
@@BrendanExplores Thanks a lot! Keep up the great videos! 🤘
get yourself a Thermocell to deal with the flies
I think I might have to mate 🙂👍
Would you do devil's chair Brendan?
I would yes, what's the parking like around there? 🙂👍
Get yourself a horsebox
Im sure my daughter was concieved there lol 😆
😂😂🤣🤣
@@BrendanExplores well i used to be a Minsterley lad lived near there , having moved away alot less fitter , i go now again there up stiperstones nostalgic visits
@@AidanHughes585 it's a beautiful part of the country mate 🙂 loved this spot 👍
What size ridge monkey is that Brendan?
Hi Clare, it's the XL 🙂. I actually have a link to the exact one in the video description if that helps 👍
Are you in the uk
