      So happy for you guys! Awesome upgrades😁
      I've gotta say, you guys came suggested by RUclips when you were searching for Morgan. You became one of my favorite channels pretty much instantly. A few days ago I went back and started watching since the sale of your caravan (I think that's what you call it?) And I think you're doing amazing. Morgan is definitely more well suited for you guys (edit to say I meant more suitable than Frida) and I love that it's more like a tiny apartment on wheels. He's beautiful ❤️
      I cannot even explain how excited I am for this next series! You guys are seriously awesome! Thanks for bringing me along 😊❤️ from Washington ST 🇺🇲

    Thank you for showing this. My grandparents had a small hotel in Blackpool for many years and the illuminations is one of my most favourite childhood memories. We moved to Canada when I was 5. The first trip I took my kids to England when they were 2 and 3 was to see the Blackpool illuminations. That was 25 years ago. Nice trip down memory lane😊

    Loved the video guys but St Anne's (the huge beach with sand hills) and Blackpool are two totally different places 🙈
    Lytham, St Anne's is a quiet little seaside town perfect for van lifers. Blackpool is where the illuminations are and it's a lot busier and more built up.
    If you carry on up from the sandhills towards Lytham you'd have come across even more park ups and Fairhaven Lake which is beautiful, also the cute town of Lytham with a windmill and huge green. You should definately visit again and do a proper adventure around the area 😊

    Hi guys I've noticed you've got a GB sticker on Morgan which you'll need to change to a UK one before going into Europe or you could get fined.
    Also you may carry them anyway but you'll need your V5, insurance certificate, driving licence, Hi vis waistcoats, Bulb kit, 1st aid kit and fire extinguisher and possibly snow chains in the winter.
    Looking forward to your upcoming travels.

    Janine: Best thing for frizzy hair is a few drops of Jojoba Oil on damp hair. Seriously, better than all the commercial anti-frizz products I've tried. Jojoba oil can also used to cleanse and moisturize skin. I refill a small bottle in natural food stores.

    Plenty of work going on with Morgan, think you have to carry spare bulbs and breakdown triangle as well as stick on headlight lens that direct you full beam slightly to the right instead of the left, you probably have checked that out but thought I would mention it just in case.

    Get an external gas filling point fitted on outside of the van as alot of petrol stations won't let you fill a gas bottle even a proper refillable one, and with external filler they will just think the van runs on LPG.

In between Southport and Prestatyn, you can see the very northern tip of the Wirral. The St Annes beach you were on isn't Blackpool beach it is St Anne's beach. If you carry on along the coast you can visit Lytham which has a beautiful walkway. So glad you came to the North West of England. 🤗🤗 WOW - what amazing photography. Your are the best. xx

    Glad you enjoyed yourselves in Blackpool (town) 😉, also I didn't hear it mentioned but something that is probably planned is to have headlight deflectors fitted before going abroad.

    Remembering childhood spent with visits to the illuminations! Then there were so many more - all humorous or fantastic scenes, they were all sold off a few years ago as they wanted to change to led.

    Great mods this week… the chicken in white wine looked delish too. Is the 90/180 rule going to scupper your European route? I really cant wait to see this adventure and what better way to kick off than at Oktoberfest!!!
    Then all those sunny vlogs will help get us through our drab winter… cant wait!!
    I’m guessing you are getting a ferry across the Mersey…

    You need a quick dry micro fiber hair towel .. for when you are off grid etc . Always good to have a back up! Pleased for your upgrade though 😉

    Looks like you'll need more solar panels to charge that battery - about 700 watts should do it. A Victron Orion battery to battery charger is also an essential bit of kit

    the fylde coast is literally 20 minutes from where I live. I've yet to use Viv-i-van due to adblue probs again but lytham is where I'll do my first wildcamp. Next time you come up, you can also stay at Fleetwood for a fiver a night. I've been fascinated with the terrific 360 camera work and the video editing was brilliant. I can take or leave blackpool but you made it look epic. Cant wait to see what you guys get up to with the legends that are Neil and Emma from "Urban vanlife" ( I'm a huuuuge fan of them like I am of you both) in your video on sunday. It will be epic....all the best-Kenny.

    Janine, I know it's a thrill for u to be able at last to use ur hair dryer in the van any time of day and cannot believe you were unable to use one over those cold, damp winter months! wow! maybe, the cough you had at that time was due to having a wet head! Now that you're good on electrical power, you may consider purchasing/using an air fryer. I use it to fast cook anything deliciously, including fresh cauliflower, broccoli and other cruciferous veggies, and potatoes that would normally take time to cook on a gas burner. It's great for heating up leftovers as well (Indian curry--panek paneer, tamales, enchiladas) and even making chocolate chip cookies late at night (lol). I experienced the stunning illuminations in Blackpool for the first and last time way back in 1975 (visiting from the US) and later, it reminded me of a scene from the novel, "Remains of the Day" when on the pier, the lights turn on at dusk (in the gloaming) and everyone awaits for the darkness to settle in. With the far-tide beaches, Blackpool has a memorably dramatic and haunting landscape. I'll never forget it. You and Liam get so much done in one day I feel like a slug. Thank you for all the work and love you devote to producing such quality videos. Your trip to Europe will be a relaxing and enjoyable one because you'll be so well prepared! Morgan in Munich--yah-vohl! ❤

    So glad you got the Wi-Fi and the game changer for Janine 🎉 I won’t say incase anyone reads the comments first.
    Aww I love Blackpool. It’s where we always took our 3
    boys. We even went there on our honeymoon 25 years ago. That was so my Mum & Dad could come, and we could take our young Son too. He was only 3 at the time, so Mum & Dad being there meant we could still have lots of fun with our Son, then his Granny & Granda could have him staying in their room with them, giving us newlywed couple time too. 😉👰‍♀️🤵🏻💍So the best of both worlds for us. It’s where I holidayed as a child, so it’s a place close to my heart. Even this year, it was one of my main reasons for battling sepsis, after family of course, as I’d love to see the illuminations one more time. So I kinda have now, thanks to both of you 🥰
    Janine, please do try to get back to Blackpool some day. There’s so many fun things to do. Going up the Blackpool Tower and walking on the glass floor, the circus, Tower ballroom, Pleasure Beach, and there’s a new horror tour at The Pleasure Beach at night, which looks fab!! 🗼🎡🎢🎠 Maybe after touring Europe! 😀
    Another fab video. Goodnight you two xx

    I was wondering why you’d left out the north west coast, glad you came! I have to point out though that where you parked was St Annes, not Blackpool! The beige bricked blocks of flats behind at 22:35 are called Royal Beach Court which were built by my Dad!
    Next time you come park at North Beach Car Park which is next to St Anne’s Kitesurfing Club. Just a bit further towards Blackpool from where you were. The club is currently undergoing renovation and is due to open as a beach cafe with seafood and live music. The North Beach Car Park is specifically for motor homes and is £10 per night, £15 for two nights and there is direct access to the beach.
    St Annes is a fabulous town with lots to do, an expansive beach, Victorian pier, lovely promenade, beach huts.. we’ve even got a cinema which is on South Promenade near the swimming pool and another motorhome car park which is on the beach front. A little further down the road, towards Preston, is Lytham which is also fabulous with a great buzz, lots of shops, eateries & bars. In between is an area called Fairhaven, the home to Fairhaven Lake which is definitely worth a visit. As well as the lake and lots of birds there’s an RSPB shop, cafe, tennis courts, bowling greens and crazy golf. You can take a boat on the lake too. There’s car parking which is by a coastal walk.
    (Info for all car parks on Fylde Borough Council website)
    With all the attractions in Blackpool like the Pleasure Beach, Blackpool Tower & the Circus, the Golden Mile and all the shows there’s plenty in the area to keep you occupied for a few days!
    PS: From North Beach Car Park you could walk along the beach or Clifton Drive (25mins) or get a bus to Blackpool Tram Depot at Squires Gate and then get a tram into Blackpool
