I moved to The New Forest when I was 30 just after I got married as I knew that’s where I wanted to bring my kids up.I knew about this place after endless camping trips from an early age. It’s a different way of life. You relax as soon as you go for a walk.Everybody says Hello especially the locals.My children has seen sunsets, sunrises, learnt lots about the night sky. Seen owls badgers dear cows horses sheep pigs all up close but within a safe distance.With the freedom to just run and play and feel completely safe and a whole lot more. It’s a magical place.Best thing I ever done.I’m 54 now and will never leave.I’ve travelled the uk but for me nowhere compares.So glad you visited does wonders for your mental health.
Seeing those Donkeys/Asses? roaming around freely put a smile on my dial. I donate to a Donkey sanctuary but have never seen them run free like that. What a wonderful area of the country that is. I hope I can visit there one day. Cheers.
Hey Will, I’m a big admirer of your videos! The way you put everything together, the drone shots, the motion shots with the go pro, and just the sense of adventure, amazing! I’m so inspired I’m buying my own van and embarking on a project! Is there any way I can reach out to you for some tips, I am based in south west London.
+1 for Richmond Sausages. Here's a tip for dropping pasta in a pan: just dip the packet in the water and adjust the angle so they fall out. If you then dip the packet in you get a nice flat melted packet which minimises waste.
You're in my home town. Fyi the supermarket fridge door is still broken. At this time of year there is no chance the rangers will let you sleep over. Trust me I try it all the time. I'm in the big yellow van :)
Nice bike friend!! Went 4 job interview 2day part time hope I get it!! Luv Tortellini 2!! Next Trip in Nary next weekend 4 my 50th!! Blessed car camping 👍🙏😄😇
Nothing like a gentle bike ride to clear the head, great addition that. Glad no lycra was involved 😀 Lovely video ,i do look forward to seeing what your up to.👌
Love the eBike Will! That's the perfect addition to the van, as you can quickly duck down to the pub... I mean shops and back without needing to pack everything up! 😂
I was watching the drone shots of Mary parked up amid the trees, sticking out like a White Elephant, thinking to myself that Will could get Mary vinyl wrapped in a nice shade of army Green or something like that. Then later in the vlog I hear Will saying he might get Mary wrapped the same colour as his ebike! Do it man. Would love to see you get the old girl wrapped. Maybe a freebee in exchange for advertising it on your channel?
If you make it as far as the New Forest, you may as well come on down to the Purbecks. Arguably even more lovely! Plus you can swing past Studland and have a quick skinny dip! If you make it that far, stop off at the Salt Pig in Wareham and buy some proper sausages.
Nice one Will, we Love the New Forest it’s a great place for Riding your Bike, exploring, Cafes, and Camping. Maybe have Mary Wrapped in Camouflage to blend/hide 🤔 Steve & Anne IOW 😎
Richmond sausages are banging! Especially if crispy on the outside and sliced down the middle and put back in for a bit longer 👍🏻 sausage and mushroom wraps with brown sauce is a breakfast for champions
I used to go to school in Lyndhurst in the mid to late 90s, so I can confirm that it is a beuatiful place to live. You and I have the same idea, to buy a house in the area. 😁
Question… if the van gets hot when cooking inside… why not start the van and put the AC on high? It won’t be perfect but it would allow you to keep the door closed
I thought I recognised where you were! You camped in a spot I used to play in regularly as a kid. We had so many family trips to the new forest. I've been through there many times as an adult headed to gigs and whatnot. Stunning area. One we're lucky to have on our doorstep as brits. I forget sometimes how beautiful England is in places. The new forest is certainly one of those places. 👍👌 Oh, nice bike! 😂👏😝😎😇
Yes brother, I'm with you... My weekend treat in the van is all eight in the air fryer, then 4 for breakfast and 4 in the fridge for a cold sandwich later... 👍
I grew up with Richmond sausages being the posh sausages and I loved them with mash and onion gravy. However much higher meat content sausages them became a thing and I switched to a minimum of 80% meat sausages. High quality high percentage meat sausages are the only ones I've fed my family for years. However. I bought some frozen Richmind ones a couple of months back when I did a freezer shop. They are easy to throw in the oven and bake quickly. My 17 year old now adores Richmond and prefers them to much higher meat content ones. Given food prices, I have switched us back to Richmond, which my husband and myself also love.😅 Especially with mash and onion gravy! 💜
@@TheCanniScot haha everyone knows that freezing food loses a lot of its flavour not to mention zapping nutrients,look after that family of yours and stop spoiling them 😜
I'm over in the UK currently. My wife and I hired a van and are going to travel around the south of the UK including the new Forrest which I'm very excited about.
Well I’m a day late because of the bank holiday, but here I am again, at the Leicester M1 services, having a whopper, watching will having his whereabouts. Thanks for the content, if you get bored, come spend the night at north Killworth 😀👍
Heads up you can see very clearly the location of the house and street on your phone at the start might wanna edit it out or something… just a thought :)
Yes brother from another mother, you can’t beat a Richmond thick🙌 I don’t care there’s not much meat in them, they taste good and that’s what matters. Thanks for sharing your journey
@@JustDaniel6764 nah its not all about the meat content its the taste and try getting 8 thick sausages for 2 quid at the butchers ,Richmond sausages are class
Hi Will, Another great video you have come a long way with your awesome Camper Van - one very happy Camper so to speak Lol 😂 I hope you get your handbrake, door locks sorted, such simple cooking creations make a delicious dinner for any occasion, beautiful scenery I think anyone would love to there as awesome iconic views in a forest Carpark, I love all of your videos as I have been following you since your Galaxy days, I find all of your content extremely interesting and very inspiring, all the best and I look forward to your next video! 😊 👏
@@WillsWhereabouts You are very welcome as it has been a tough journey for you through some harrowing times, but as the saying goes the best things come to those who wait, and just look at the rewards you are now experiencing which is absolutely brilliant to be able to go anywhere and enjoy nature as it was intended! 😊
Great place will we love the new forest too when it changes in autumn 🍂 it's spectacular just back from a weekend away in our van in Dorset all the best donny
Gr8 spot Will, I can’t remember that spot from the Galaxy days, but it was quite inconspicuous. Loved the stow away bike, so ideal for your setup. I hope you get the locks and handbrake sorted. Thank you for another Sunday evening share. Yes, it’s get dark early now as Autumn is just around the corner. 😀👍
Will if your van ever broken down and was more hassle to fix would u buy the same one ?so u can take everything out of your old one to add to the new?or would u just buy a totally different one
Awesome 😎 fella, epic video and what a beautiful area to go too. You say it’s the “New Forest 🌳 “? Must look into this place thank you, please 🙏 stay safe and healthy xXx 😘
Hi will what a happy start to your camp night your dogs seeing you of so cute lots fun lovely souls beautiful camp site your meal I would happily enjoy awsome cook that's the spirit your cycling good fun excircise
If you want to wrap your van, I'd recommend bossdog. They wrapped mine and its been perfect. I know I could of gone cheaper but I wanted something that's designed to be on for the lifetime of the van. So far through mud, rain, hail and snow, it looks perfect. I think its been seven 'ish months since it was put on. I do know they usually wrap for business when its a van but ask them if its possible for yours.
Your gonna have to get that windscreen chip fixed before winter and the next MOT 😉 The New Forest should be making some park ups, much like the French Aires, so shortsighted of the councils there Nice one Will
Loving the video that new forest is amazing we drove through there a while back and saw the horses it's so relaxing glad your enjoying yourself keep that smile going mate 👍
Hi Will, that’s an awesome bike, ideal for putting in the van, I went on there site and they have sold out😢😢. What a great place to have a ride around. Thank you for the information, thanks Will. Xx🚐🤟🏼✌️
Love the new bike bud! just letting the ads roll while I grab a cider after a brutal week in the kitchen! When Are you coming to Northern Ireland? we have a banger coastal route! Lochs , Gold mines .Surfing. Giants causeway, Castles,Beaches, awesome food, I will even throw in a steak and eggs breakfast if you ever call in to Joxers in Bangor County Down. Bring the dogs next time ya rotten bar steward ya! Stick us on yer list good luck with the repairs.
Looks like we're sausage siblings Will. These are the finest sausages money can buy. I don't care about % of pork comtent, I just love the taste and wont buy anything else but these 💜
Nice one Will, loving the wee mini stealth camp and cooks. After seeing the 2 spaniels humping did it not make you want to go to a dogging site? all the best sheriff, take care ae yersel big man.
You didn't pop a wheelie when you were doing the rugged film shoot! That would've been so epic if you did! If you want to be a total boss, add some handle bar streamers and a banana seat. Lightning bolt stripes are optional.

Ain’t fooling us
glad it wasn't me who clocked something was of, there was a few shots only a second person could only do
It is possible to add handheld effects in post

So good to see that you are clearly feeling a bit brighter. Therapy is a wonderful thing.
Nice video Will. I hang out in the new forest most days. Beautiful beautiful place.
Extremely beautiful place 🤘
That editing when you were on the bike with the music reminded be of the grand tour!
And Richmond sausages are perfect
Thank you 🙏 got to love a Richmond sausage 😊
Glad you see you having fun mate!! The childlike instinct to ride through a big puddle has me laughing
Always run the hose pipe b4 you fill up. Helps stop that plastic smell

Adding this bike to my wishlist. It's just my cup of tea and the camo look is very cool. :)
New forest is my fav too! ❤️
Best place 💯
Best place on earth mate.. my dad's lives in lydhurst, in the forest.. try to get down there as much as I can

@@TheCanniScot haha everyone knows that freezing food loses a lot of its flavour not to mention zapping nutrients,look after that family of yours and stop spoiling them 😜
Me n my dad used to always have em when he made a fry up👌🏻
You should try Osmond Bushes at Holmsley, nice little car park, just near The Old Station Tea Rooms too if you fancy a cream tea.
Nice addition. Good vlog 👍💙❤️
Thank you 🙏
the production is getting good
Thank you 🙏

Will have you got a link for those sliding front window blinds they look great wonder if they do them for a ford transit mk8 🤔?
Loving the content 👌 Great idea the Ebike Great for emergencies as well .
Transformation of your van looks awesome 👌 so on point.
Loved the filming you did while riding the e-bike, over head shots and that,good filming will
Yes brother from another mother, you can’t beat a Richmond thick🙌 I don’t care there’s not much meat in them, they taste good and that’s what matters. Thanks for sharing your journey
If a lot more people stop buying a bags and instead reuse them the planet would say 👍 👍👍👍👍
Didn’t think of that but very good point 👍
richmond sausages are superb, good to fry them, then cut them in half to fry the inside a little, quality sausages!!
There only about 45% pork content! Get yourself a proper sausage from the butcher's. Life changing
@@JustDaniel6764 I have, but they are still damm tadry
@@JustDaniel6764 nah its not all about the meat content its the taste and try getting 8 thick sausages for 2 quid at the butchers ,Richmond sausages are class

Richmond sausages all day but I've moved on to the plant based versions, so good!
Few people have said the same!
I can’t get on board with the Richmond sausages but I do have a MiRider 😄 what’s the bit of kit you have on the handlebars ?
Very cool, always wanted to camp out in a van one day I’ll live the dream 🤟🏽😂

Great video Will and I love the area where you spent time,you must been sleeping like a baby in such a area.

one of my favourite spots. Fantastic video Will 😊
You didn't pop a wheelie when you were doing the rugged film shoot! That would've been so epic if you did!
If you want to be a total boss, add some handle bar streamers and a banana seat. Lightning bolt stripes are optional.
Richmond sausages are easily the thing I most miss from the UK so if you do end up over this way Will hide some in your fridge for me won’t ya 👍
I like your thinking 😂👍
Brilliant vid. How did you get the aerial shot of you riding the bike if you were by yourself?
