The Trip That Beat Us Ep7-We finally reach the Lake District
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2022
- After the roughest night of weather we have experienced so far in the little red camper we continue our journey north.
Passing the Ribblehead Viaduct we reach the town of Hawes where we stretch our legs and enjoy some warming chips and hot chocolate.
Following a scenic drive we finally reach the Lake District and park up in Kendal for some noodles, then try to find a suitable place to wild camp for the night.

This is one of the most underated channels on you tube. You two are fearless. 😉
Glad that you both had a very lovely day. Have a wonderful evening.
Probably the least sunny and warm adventure this time but still a good series seeing the journey unfold. Very well filmed and edited, the dialogue, outside sounds and music was kept at an even and pleasant level throughout. Something that some channels cannot get right or bother with. Excellent content!
Thanks for the feedback on the sound, it is always difficult to get just right. The weather was certainly challenging ☺️
Beautiful
What a beautiful Kew for breakfast.
No wonder the Vikings liked the dales, it actually reminds me of places here, but just on a much bigger scale. It's fantastic.
The scenery is very similar, beautiful 😍
Hey there! Wonderful video. Thank you for featuring my music ❤
You’re welcome. That’s one of our favourite tracks. Love it 👍❤️
@@LifeistooshortCK I’m glad you like it so much 😊
Loved the Old Mints
One of my greatest past times are finding old abandoned places and try to imagine the families that made it their home, you folks give me that rare privilege in another land from a different time. As always, I love your video’s.
Glad you enjoyed it Gerald
I adore artisan Cheeses But deep fried ohherr Naaa ! We’re never too old Carol 🤪 Love the Lakes and Dales x Nice upload Ken 👊 Carol 😘 Take Care x 🐾🐾🐕🦺👍👊😘🚐
We’re with you on the deep fried cheese, Stephen. Thanks for watching. Love to you and Skye 🐕🦺🚐🚗😀👍
You really ought to publish a book showcasing the stills pictures from your videos - the photography is phenomenal and an absolute 'must have' for those who love the scenery of our country. 'Britain in Colour' - I'd buy it. 😊
You are too kind John ☺️
Love watching your video
One most interesting vlogs Carol ken
Another lovely video. Thank you
You’re welcome 🙂👍
Thank you for taking us on this trip. You are great travelling companions. A lovely start to my week.
Thanks for joining us on the journey, Douglas 🙂👍
The flat top one was ingleborough. Yorkshires 2nd highest peak and the one next to ribblehead viaduct was whernside . The big old slab. Yorkshires highest peak
Cheers for the info Tony 👍
Another great video - thanks 👍😊
Another fab video. Beautifully shot and paired with some lovely music. Some more new names to search and add to my Spotify playlist.
Great video, yes the weather was a bad night because we live over the fields across from the caves at Twistleton Scar end , lovely views but gets very windy . 🥶
That’s a beautiful place to live 😍
Love the music it's like watching a film! Well done on keeping up your spirits on this trip.
Thanks Sue 🙂
Seems nice and cosy in the van with the wind howling and the driving rain..relaxing I should say
Nice to see the antique shops...and a peer in the window.
my first time watching, came over from Ken and Carols channel and totally loved it.
Did you mean to post this on The other Windsors channel ☺️
Probably y
CLIFFHANGER WOW 🤣🤣🤣
INTERESTING VIDEO
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE
ITS,A,WONDER YOU DIDN'T GET SICK WITH THE ROCKEN MOTION.
Ken looks so content with a sweat in his gob🍬
Keeps me quiet as well 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK 😂😂😂
Great vlog Carol and Ken, always keeping it real which is what i like, living the dream well done. Thank you for taking us along xx
You’re welcome Sue, thanks for watching 🙂
wow! that river!!! Amazing
I was at Ribblehead viaduct and Dent Dale yesterday with friends. I used to live on the Lancs/Yorkshire border and if we ever came back to the UK I’d return to live in the same area. Good too see it being show-cased on this trip, the weather is often that wild although you were unlucky to hit the storms like you did. Lovely video.
It certainly is a beautiful part of England. I am reading your comment sitting in the little red camper en France 🇫🇷 😀
@@LifeistooshortCK oooh enjoy France xx
I love it thank you for sharing ❤️
Beautiful scenery
It's such a wonderful journey you two are having. !:- )
Great Trip 😁
Ya know ... I like watching you two and your travels because I enjoyed listening to you converse as you explore. I miss traveling with my husband to places, our experiences, laughter and fun .... He has been gone since 2016 and now I do the adventure on my own alone... It is nice you share your moments XO
Glad to have you with us and that we bring back good memories ❤️
Tks, really enjoy your videos.
The drone shots were breathtaking. Thanks
Love the lakedistrict beautiful landscapes 🙂
Came over from the Isle of Man and drove this very road past the caves a few weeks ago, stunning!
Hey Carol, you take fantastic photos 👌
Thank you Canis. ❤️
White Scar caves are well worth a visit and you were so close to the Ingleton waterfall walk which is amazing and would have been very active after all the rain.
Lack of local knowledge is cruel. Would have been good to see the falls 👍
Superb scenes, awesome music…better and better! Love your passion for food. You do a fantastic job, sharing. Thank you. 🧡💚
Thanks Michele. So glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
Great scenery and music score.
Love the little villages you drove through. Absolutely beautiful views. Thanks for “turning the wind down” for us 😉 ✌🏼
Another great video and another turbulent river. I’m amazed at how you both take everything in your stride. That weather was unbelievable. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what a good flow in the river in town
Thanks guys, brought back memories. I remember going to Hawes on one of my trips back to the UK.
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved this the drone footage of Kendal castle was great ,This is my local area I love to see it from a different perspective.You parked just found the corner from my in-laws they li v son the castle estate .!
Glad you enjoyed it Jenny 🙂
good vid on you travels thanks lee
Thanks Lee 🙂👍
Great video once again 👍 loved the sound tracks, shame it's still a bit chilly 💦 I'm waiting with bated breath for your next video you've left us all hanging 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
lovely guys, thank u again. N Zealand
You’re welcome Colin 🙂
Hello you two 👋. Seen quite a few video's about the Lake District. Although I've visited England many times, I have never made it to the Lake District. It's a must see. Thank you 😊
Love that area so enjoyed your journey, love the sound track by the way .
Thanks Ray 🙂
Love sharing your adventures!! Beautifully put together video, music, photography & commentary!! Thanks to you both!!
Aww, thank you Sandra 🙏🙂
Hey guys, you just popped up on my recommended (maybe because we have a van and live in Kendal) you are right about the man on the wall down lowther street from the snuff factory, I believe he’s gone for repair. Also where you were parked was right next to the lads and lasses club which has a skate park behind it so that why there are always youths there ☺️ looking forward to watching your next Vlog but have to go to work now 😩 xx
We wondered where the man on the wall had gone so thanks for letting us know. Have a good day at work 😀
I really enjoyed the viaduct "closeup" pic. Well captured! Oh, and I must add the waterfall! Nice!
Loved the footage of your drive through the Dales. It's such a special area. Great video!
Thanks Del 🙂 x
That was very loud rain! Made me laugh when you didn’t want to go to the caves. We are booked for a few nights in Hawes later this year. Loved the relaxing music. Take care Gill
Love the photos you take Carol and look so lovely how you frame them. Not been to England so love seeing it via your videos. Thank you for sharing. What a beautiful country you live it. I live in New Zealand and it’s beautiful too. Have seen it all many times. Safe travels.
That is very kind ❤️
Done many a walk in the Yorkshire Dale's, including the Three Peaks challenge three times. Whernside is called the crouching lion because of its shape. Your journey brought back so many happy memories.
Thanks for providing the in-house entertainment. We're currently holed up in the van. it's raining cats and dogs and the last thing we need right now is a wet Blue!! So we're watching your latest installment. Even our Blue is enthralled. 🙂🐕🚙
Thanks for watching. Hope the weather clears up for you soon and Blue can get his walk. Safe travels 🙂🚗👍
@@LifeistooshortCK went out into Peterhead, but it just continued to rain. So back at original parkup, as we want to see the near by castle. It's forecast fog tomorrow, so at least it'll be atmospheric lol 🙂🐕🚙
@@the-other-windsors a drone shot would be good in that fog 😉🙂👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Oh I don't know 😕
Catching up on your videos! You never fail to impress!
Thanks Linda 🙂
Hi Ken and Carroll, thank you ever so much for all your fab vids and trips, you have taken hubby and myself to places we will never get to, from down here in Australia... kept our spirits up thru covid too. big huggs and best wish on your adventures, Chris and Trevor from Aus...😁
Hi Chris and Trevor. Thank you so much for watching. Glad to have you along on our travels. Greetings to Australia 🇦🇺 😀
Great to watch, we travelled from Hamburg to Skipton on the 3rd April and then spent four days driving around the dales and lake district before travelling further south as part of our trip. Loved seeing the viaduct again. One of my favourite places. Look forward to seeing more.
Sounds like you had a lovely trip. Thanks for watching 🙂
Really enjoy the videos the little red camper is spot on
Cheers John 🙂👍
Beautiful video and great taste in the music well done xx
Thank you so much!
Great vlog Ken and Carol. superb scenery and video content. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Grumpy 👍
Good to see you finally making it to the Lake District! You certainly battled the elements to get there.
We’ve been looking for a parking spot in Kendal to sample the local ales so we’ll certainly be checking in next week 😁
I think there must be quite a few depending upon your risk / reward index 😁
I am really watching your vlog .You are both so lovely . Take care stay safe
Thank you! You too!
Good to see my back yard (almost) - the Yorkshire Dales. Never tire of seeing them. The Lakes are an old favourite as well so intrigued by your next video.
Thanks for watching Philip 🙂
Hello Carol and Ken again a wonderful journey as always 😊 that river wowww 😮😮😮 nice and lovely vlog,

Thanks for your continuing support Rob. Glad you are enjoying the videos 🙂
Ken you have great eye for the right shot some lovely shots here
Cheers 👍
Some gorgeous B-roll again, Ken, and great music. And I keep forgetting to mention how much I like Carol's stills. What great shots she gets! That one of the river was fabulous. 😍😘x
Very kind of you Kit. ❤️. You take excellent shots yourself 👍
Awww you two are so kind thank you ☺️! Those bacon rolls looked delicious 🤤 we’ll have some of those when we meet you ! 😉 well done for braving the weather it’s difficult for sure and we’ve all earnt our bad weather stripes this year so far. Some beautiful scenes in this video and the music was perfect 👍 love that you link that too it’s such a good idea. Stay safe both of you and sending you love xxx
Thanks for watching guys and the lovely comment. Hope you are both well ❤️👍
I've visited White Scar, it's quite interesting xxx
Oh my… deep fried cheese is amazing. Hope you give it a try sometime if you haven’t already.
I’m sure we will try it one day 🙂
Hello Ken / Carol Very pleasant video the Yorkshire Dales are a beautiful sight for sure so few trees I always find it strange just to see 1 beautiful tree all alone . Love all the music on this video I enjoyed it all with my morning coffee . Take care .
Cheers Shaun 👍
Once again y’all left me with a huge smile and a light heart….your videos are quite simply food for the heart! I found myself looking at the stacked stone fences that meander the fields and roads and thinking that each stone had been picked up and placed by hands now long gone….what a testament to human determination and vision. As always the scenery is spectacular and it’s a treat to share your trip….wildly grateful that you were safe through the storm! 😊
Lovely comment Catherine. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
Thank you Catherine for such a lovely comment. We appreciate your feedback on our videos as it inspires us to create more 🙂❤️
Another very fine travelogue. That's no museum ... it's the R&D test site for The Great Pothole Factory!
We’ve seen a few of those test sites 😂
Drone did well in the wind Ken. That did look cold but beautiful scenery.
Its a tough little thing and it gets a hard life
Although the Weather was a challenge you both made the best of it. The castle was beautiful. It looks like you both survived and have the videos to prove it! Til next time, Mary
Cheers
Ahoy Pirates! :D Missed you both so much! The good thing with the catching up is I can always see new videos of you, dear folks! :) Sweet old Blackthorne is resting this summer. I have tons of writing/editing/formatting to do, aye! Have fun, keep shooing! bear hugs from your Cap'n
We missed you too. Glad you are back but don’t work too hard. Hope you get time for some seafaring derring do again soon. Take care ⛵️👩✈️❤️
That little town "Hawes* was a beautiful little town. The roead to there reminded me of my showband days 1967 when we used to go across from Carlisle to Newcastle and Sunderland, We stayed in Carlisle as we were going down through Nelson & Burnley & Manchester towards London. While it was cold it was dry and made for easier driving. I thought you had reached the Lake District when you pulled into that viewing point. 😁😁
Those were the days Rupert, bet you had some laughs 👍
👍👍
Hi Carol and Ken. The long flat hill with snow on near Ribbleshead is Whernside. The other 2 are Ingleborough and Pen Y Ghent. The Yorkshire 3 peaks are quite local to us you should return in the summer. That whole area is fabulous and plenty of places to wild camp.
Thanks for the info and tips
Loved the bit where you decided not to visit the cave...still chuckling...cheers from Chile
Nothing wrong with the cave it was us 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK I realized and the weather didnt look too great...but it just tickled my funny bone
Lovely video! I forced myself to finish planting my vegetable garden before enjoying your video. I planted in raised beds and grow bags, approximately 100 pots, whew! I look forward to the harvest. Have a great week!
If we ever have to flee the UK (god forbid) can we come and stay next door to you 😁
@@LifeistooshortCK of course! You are welcome!
We visited White Scar Caves once, very interesting. I would've steered clear of it on this day too though after all that rain and having seen footage of it when it's flooded out the doors and down the car park! Such great roads to drive over Ribblehead way aren't they. Lovely photo of the river at Hawes and aerial views of Kendal castle. Great vlog! 😊👌
Thanks Sue. Sounds like we had a lucky escape from drowning in the caves 😂 We did enjoy the scenic drive 🙂👍
@@LifeistooshortCK 😅👍🏻
You need rain for green pastures. Lovely scenery
One of the hills you can see I think is Great Knoutberry Hill, if it is the beautiful village of Dent is beyond. Cobbled streets and much to see.
Cheers. Missed that town.
Wow. You had a bit of a crazy night! Crikey. We know that feeling 🤣. No caves???? You were both delirious with tiredness by the looks of things. Viaduct looked lovely. Hawes looks pretty. Lots of water! More potholes than parking. Nice view though. Nice cliff hanger at the end 😊🧙♂️
You have had a few rain lashings as well 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK we have indeed. Skye delivered us some very interesting weather. Sleep deprivation is not a good look. Just watched a clip of me and all I could think was when did you last sleep. 😩. Unlike you we did seem to get better weather during the day time. G 🙏🚐🐶🐶🧙♂️
It's ok now Ken and Carol. My his and just showed me what to do. I don't think you have put the next 1 on yet as that was series 7. Keep travelling and keep posting. They are great. Sao relaxing.
Hello. Yes that is the latest episode but there are about 250 older ones. If you find our playlists each one has its own playlist. 👍
Gods Country
Funny to be watching this, in Connie, on the west coast of France where it is meant to be going to be 31 degrees on Wednesday! Weather is fun, whatever it is.
We are in France at the moment as well so we know what you mean about the weather. our fans are working hard at night. 👍
Of course you are, I’d forgotten. Have fun!
Such beautiful scenery. What made the circle in the grass before you arrived at Kendal Castle from your drone? Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Teri Hope
Not sure what the circle is but it seems to be on some kind of sports pitch.
I've enjoyed your videos from day one but I'm intrigued that, to the best of my recollection, I've never seen either of you wearing masks. The reason I bring this up is, that as an old ex pat currently living in the USA, my wife and I are flying 'home' tomorrow and would appreciate your personal take on how careful do we need to be re Covid. We too are headed to the Lake District and staying near Windernere. If you have time I would really appreciate a reply - I'm fully vacc plus 2 boosters but immuno compromised. Best wishes to you both and thanks for your videos.
Hi Kevin
To be honest very few people are talking about Covid over here now and life has returned to normal. There are some people who are still wearing masks but they are not mandatory anywhere in the UK now and so most people have stopped.
As for the risk of catching it who knows to be honest. We choose to carry on as normal but I respect anyone who chooses to continue wearing a mask if they feel safer.
We do visit some public spaces but avoid anywhere that is super busy inside. It's still here but it seems to be the mild version at present.
That is my take but your decision has to be your decision. Enjoy your trip.
Ken (in Hawes) "We're going to have a walk around the town"
Music starts with the lyrics, "don't bother"
Not reflection on Hawes, I hope. Its lovely, but maybe warmer weather would be better!!
Definitely not a reflection on Hawes 🙂 We loved the town, just wish it had been a bit warmer ☺️
Goodness me you are hardy souls by now I would have long been back home with such foul weather. Having said that even Johannesburg's winters are lovely we just have to contend with many other problems.
The weather can be so changeable in the UK. We always hope for some sunshine after the rain 🙂
I would have packed up days ago
Hari OM
🤣 "we are both in Kendal..." (Carol looks askance!!!) What if you'd left her in Hawes??? Another fine video you got yourselves into... and left us hanging on the edge - bring on the next one pronto!!! YAM xx
no idea why I came out with that and Carol was surprised. 😀
Dear Carol and Ken,
I'm sorry you didn't get such great weather on your lake district trip but we've still really enjoyed watching your adventures (and the snowy landscape was really beautiful).
We've also been re-watching your Irish trip and on one of the later videos you mentioned using your levelling ramps. There is such a wide variety available - could you please let me know which ramps you have and if you would recommend them?
Many thanks and kind regards,
Nicky and Tim
If you check our link in the video description you will see the ones we use. They are small ones as we don’t have room for anything bigger.
@@LifeistooshortCK Oh thanks - I hadn't realised you had these listed on your Amazon affiliate link list. Best wishes
I love the Yorkshire Dales, it’s a beautiful area. Couldn’t see exactly where you were asking about those hills but guessing at where you were and I would say the hill in the foreground was Simons Seat, then to the right was Great Wernside and to the left was probably Ingleborough. You missed a treat missing out Hawes Creamery visitors centre, the cheeses are amazing and pre Covid they used to have them all available to sample but it wouldn’t surprise me if they have had to stop the sampling due to Covid.
Thanks for the info on the hills. Will have to go back to visit the creamery one day 🙂
Love Hawes and the cheese place. Yum
Great video🙂👍, ... it seems to be a pretty loud night at the beginning of that video...?😁
Yes, the wind was pretty wild that night 😁
