Hello Josie & Echo. Lovely to see the both of you again. Hats off to you for assembling the electric bike all on your own. 🚴♀ That looked like you were having such a fun time riding around and seeing the sites. You need a basket for echo with a latch on top so he/she can ride along too without jumping out. A helmet would be a good investment. Get one for Echo too. 😻
I spent the first 15 years of my life living at Dawlish Warren. A friend of my father lived and worked at Cofton Farm (as it was then known). (You spelled it wrongly, its Cofton not Cotton). Back in the 1960s what is now an enormous campsite was a working dairy farm. I believe they used one field for camping in the summer. I recognised the church that I saw as you arrived. Seeing how the campsite has developed over the last 54 years is really interesting. Thank you for taking me on a trip down memory lane!
A van, a kitty cat, and an e-bike, that is heaven. The bike looks fantastic, you'll have so much fun. Thanks for putting helpful details like place names in, Meadfoot beach looks lovely.
Hi Josie this is the second video i have watched you come a cross as very good person having your own business & doing the traveling that great keep it up
Brilliant I loved seeing Torquay again I spent the summer there a couple of years ago in my camperi think we bumped into eachother at the mead car park you had the vw. Anyway nice to see Torquay again👍❤️
You talk miggle dee muggle dee but your so real it's unreal I have watched a few of your videos and they make my heart smile fantastic viewing thank you young lady thank you very much ❤
Just reminded me I need me timeout on my motorbike in those places you visited loved it glade you like your bike they are getting better as technology improves 😉👍🏻
hi josie. great vlog. been watching since your t4 days. love your style. just wanted to say hi. keep doing what your doing. more please. i see you sometimes in other tubers vlogs at festivals. want more from you.. 😊❤👍
Well that was a different type of Josie video,bingo instead of a music festival 😮😅. You just need to get a proper bike rack for the back of your van like people fit to carry mopeds or scooters 😊. Enjoy the rest of summer 🌞 x
0:25 electric bikes are great, but Echo is the real star of this content. I keep meaning to do Dawlish warren up to Exeter on the bike. I might get the train up to Dawlish from Newton Abbot and take the bike. Only costs a fiver return. I'm feeling inspired!
Cofton holidays/campsite! Lovely place, been many times on my own or with groups of MTB nutters. Great place for bikes, I've ridden the woods right next to the campsite there heaps, loads of cool trails in them, with views peeking out of the woods that reward. The whole of the Dawlish/Dawlish Warren area, has VERY bike friendly lanes that lead EVERYWHERE. Loved your reaction to whizzing about on your newly built adult lego set. :) You'd have probably got away with keeping the bike outside for the night Josie, (I've left my far to expensive bike out a few times there) as the place is never troubled by people looking to nick things. Although I get it might have preyed on the mind having it out there, when trying to catch a good night's kip. Maybe getting a good chain to lock it somehow on to the van overnight might work? I guess a bike rack would save loads of space inside the van and be more secure, but not sure if you'd want to whack one on the van. Plus they do muck about with remembering you've got a bike stuck on the back, when parking up etc. A good lid, (helmet) for your head is a good plan :) I've had a few arguments with trees when riding and with a lid on my head I tend to win out mostly. Looking forward to seeing you zipping about more, both in the van and on the bike! :)
we had two top of the range mtbs cut off a bike rack in broad day light (with top of the range locks too - angle grinder). inside is always best. Agree with you on helmets though - even if you're not going off road
@@motorhomemavericks1 Oh dear, that isn't good to hear. Guess i've been quite fortunate then really at cofton. I know they've upgraded security a fair bit there of late, with barriers and more CCTV, but as you say inside is always best as what you can't see etc...
Hello Josie really good channel just started watching your adventures .Maybe you could visit Taunton in Somerset? We’ve got some great motorhome campsites and you’re surrounded by the Blackdown Brendon and Quantock hills xx ps not far from some lovely beaches as well Charmouth Lyme Regis, Dawlish Warren et cetera
I'm with you on the crusty bread, I always love just buying a french stick and just eating it with some butter on 😂 winter is good adding soup to dip it in too! What a shame you couldn't stay at that site in the end after booking into it too!
Push your mirror in when parking on side of the road as expensive and a pain to replace 🙄 great vids. I travel with my cat “Lenny” full time in my van. 😻
I thought you were at Lady’s Mile Holiday Park. Looks just like it as I remember it. Maybe they all look the same. Anyway, thank you for sharing. Will get back to the vid now. Peace 🏴
I always carry a chain and lock my bike to the alloy wheel. saves lifting it in and out. Trust me that bike will go walkies if you dont lock it up every time.
Hi, great video. Without wanting to sound too nerdy though, you should definitely get yourself a helmet for when you're on your bike, especially given that your bike is electric and so will go faster than most conventional road bikes. I'm a cyclist and would never, ever go without a helmet. Be safe and keep up the great vids!
Thank you, I did indeed. I had a little help with my father with fitting the bed his helping hand with the panels. Other than that I just get by with what I have for now. I have got what I need and I need what I have got. The adventures await! :)
Did you try Tea Orange Pekoe from Salada? Replacing coffee in these times is a good idea. The peak of coffee would be Keurig and I had to make the switch. There is more boost in tea than coffee.
Hi, (Subbed and Thumbs up) Buy a Stanley Knife, cut that cardboard box up, pull into a place with recycle bins (like Tesco), and dispose of it. you could have then stayed at the lovely campsite then. I used to live in Dartmouth, Plymouth, Redruth. Beautiful part of the country. Awesome content enjoyed watching, Take care.
It's a nice site that is, despite the only ever time when a dog downloaded itself onto our Pitch. The Brother of the Owner has the Lady's Mile site a bit further down the road, but thats not quite as classy.
Did you attach your shuttlecock to the b pivot if you didn’t you may lose your flange and saddle may loosen giving you a sore bottom, hope this helps 😃✌️❤️🇬🇧that bike looks fabulous, will you take echo on an adventure?
You should have got an electric Brompton, they’re British made, a fraction of the weight and fold up and come with a carry bag and are about the same price as the American thing you bought. You can store it folded up in the van and take’s up no space. The titanium ones are less than 15kgs in weight - a far more practical bike for your weekending van life videos!
Shame it isn't a folder Josie as that takes up less room to store, but yes an electric bike is a great add on for all sorts of things. Exploring and not worry about the long walk back, shopping, riding around towns where he van couldn't get with no parking fees. But as you said get yourself a helmet. Have fun but remember there are a lot bad drivers out there. with little consideration for bike riders.
Great videos! made in my hometown of Torquay! Just subscribed. You must be a local i wonder? Nice bike and Van must be great enjoying the freedom. Got my own channel, for travel vlogging and Drone Videos.
Josie. Dont want to be a spoiler but get a Helmet of some sort. You can reach 30mph or more on that bike and that hurts when you come off! I have a similar Bike and speak from experience! Have fun!
Such a breath of fresh air to see a lovely, smart girl doing it all for herself - and not vlogging rubbish and also appearing to be tatoo free.. wonderful.. I saw you struggling lifting the bike ,( well e-bikes are heavy), if you haven't already done it then take out the battery.. those few kg less might just make it a bit easier for you... Happy travelling... That first site with the pool looked great...
did you have a little tent set up when you parked up at the meadow nr meadfoot beach got this crazy feeling i walked past with the dogs without realizing it was you last week ?
@@JosieMay26 Cool. You’ve reminded me that when I stayed at Lady’s Mile campsite I’d collected the parts of a dismantled Honda CB-1 (400cc motorcycle) in my Mondeo estate. There wasn’t much space for sleeping, just the driver’s seat (which is all I need), so I was camping in my tent. During the day I was cleaning out the Petrol tank that still had some old fuel in it, making it impossible to be in the car with the windows closed - due to the Petrol fumes…! Spent some time chatting with a retired fireman and his girlfriend who were camping just over the lane. The area seems to attract nice people. Peace 🏴
I've rinsed most of your videos in the last 24 hours after stumbling across your video! I'm going to sound like one of those guys now..but I've fallen in love 😂
The bike would probably be good off road too with those wide knobbly tyres, even on firm sand. Watch out for potholes though, small diameter wheels drop into them easier than bigger wheels and will plant you on your face.
Josie May you always make great video content. Friendly , down to earth and full of ‘flavour’.
Hello Josie & Echo. Lovely to see the both of you again.

Great video. Came across this video by accident after looking for a e-bike. Really well put together. ✌️
Welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed. These are brilliant bikes. Fully recommend! :)
@@JosieMay26I love your videos I think you are really beautiful
Always lovely to see you Josie, you look glowing healthy ❤
Great video and we look forward to seeing more of you and the bike in future.

Tenby and the Pembrokeshire coast is lovely this time of year. So much adventures and scenery to be seen. Be a good area for your electric bike too.

Meadfoot beach is my daily hangout. Nice to see you in familiar territory. 🤙🏽

Thank you! :)
@@JosieMay26 No problem Josie, looking forward to watching all your other videos. Keep up the great work! 👍❤️❤️
Great to see you back we missed you xx should put bike rubbish under van and stayed.get a bike rack fitted to the van.xx
I’ll look at getting a bike rack when I can afford it! :)
@@JosieMay26 do more videos .as you lose your followers. Xx
I thought you were at Lady’s Mile Holiday Park. Looks just like it as I remember it. Maybe they all look the same. Anyway, thank you for sharing. Will get back to the vid now.
Peace 🏴
I have indeed heard that that campsite is near to where I visited in this video :)
Thank you for watching, peace right back at you! :)

Thank you, I did indeed. I had a little help with my father with fitting the bed his helping hand with the panels. Other than that I just get by with what I have for now. I have got what I need and I need what I have got. The adventures await! :)
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy josie lovely seeing you back x
Crusty rolls,propper butter, cheese and a packet of prawn cocktail crisps, yum
Ooooh, now that sounds like a good combination 👀
Come to Exeter I’ll buy you a pint! 😜
Thank you for taking a joke - you just got another subscriber 👍
Can’t beat a Polish polish. Definitely better than doing it yourself

That looks like Cofton I've stayed there, really nice site near Dawlish 👍
It's a nice site that is, despite the only ever time when a dog downloaded itself onto our Pitch. The Brother of the Owner has the Lady's Mile site a bit further down the road, but thats not quite as classy.
Hello stranger 🤗 Can't wait to try it out 😜
It was great to see.
Did you attach your shuttlecock to the b pivot if you didn’t you may lose your flange and saddle may loosen giving you a sore bottom, hope this helps 😃✌️❤️🇬🇧that bike looks fabulous, will you take echo on an adventure?
Yes safety helmet is a must, great to park at Preston sands but payment is required great video Josie may 👍
You’re so pretty josie ❤
It could go terrible wrong when that gas stove sets fire to your bedding 😂 x
Cofton Holiday is an awesome place go at least twice a year 👍
You need a bowl of tomato soup to dip your crusty roll in. It's mandatory. 😂 😂
Cofton iv stayed there a few times great site 👍
New subscriber! you seem awesome I like your energy ❤

The Cyrusher is Chinese made, as most e-bikes are. Not many are made in the States.
Awesome lady 😌
No way! We just got back home from Cofton Farm a week ago. I've been going there since I was a kid, now I'm 43, I take my kids. It's an amazing site.
Hi Jose please ensure you get a helmet to protect your head . loving your content xx
Massive Box indeed..!
It sure is isn't it!
Get a Tracker fitted on your Bike, so it can be easily located if Stolen 😮, also get a Good strong lock😊
Some very handy tips that I will certainly bare in mind :)
@@JosieMay26 Hi Josie looks like you have an imposter . Check the reply to my comment.
Looks like it would be a great ride.
The bike or Josie I'd prefer to ride her

With the sheer size of that bike made me think of Jaws “We’re gonna need bigger van”…
Great videos! made in my hometown of Torquay! Just subscribed. You must be a local i wonder? Nice bike and Van must be great enjoying the freedom. Got my own channel, for travel vlogging and Drone Videos.
The answer to all problems.... is chocolate 🙂
Couldn't agree more. Even if you don't fancy it, it helps :)
You are so beautiful and love your vids. Would love to join you on your trips!!♥️
I knew every place you drove/went to. Used to have holidays there. Changed a bit now tho
Josie. Dont want to be a spoiler but get a Helmet of some sort. You can reach 30mph or more on that bike and that hurts when you come off! I have a similar Bike and speak from experience! Have fun!
Don’t worry at all. I do now have my safety precautions. Thank you for your consideration! :)
Just found out , channel very good watch
Welcome aboard! Thank you :)
12:38 its saying your break light bulb needs changing 😂

Happy travelling... That first site with the pool looked great...
You are a cool and graceful woman. I really liked you.
Just put a new brake light bulb in lol 😂
I don't think it is the bulb that's the issue. I'll have another little fiddle with it soon! Haha
So she does this on weekends… has a car, lives in a house with her parents, has a job.
Not exactly van life is it.
So what’s your day job?
did you have a little tent set up when you parked up at the meadow nr meadfoot beach got this crazy feeling i walked past with the dogs without realizing it was you last week ?
A good philosophy for life: "Weird things happen but that's ok"
Cofton holiday park.
Yes, bloody lovely campsite! :)
If you break big boxes down, you can lay them down flat on the floor.
I agree with you but I was also aware I was wanting to reuse the materials to keep the bike safe whilst I was travelling back home! :)

What site you on josie , love your channel by the way x
Please remember, any e bike with a throttle (don't know if this has one) is NOT road legal in UK 👍🏻
It is if its Pre 2016 even says so on Government Web Site....

Will need another van to take the bike with you😊
Hey josie,how do you find the crafter to drive? Looks a cool van Mwb?
Lots more room than little eddie
You won't regret wearing a helmet. You would regret not wearing a helmet.
Wow I didn’t even know vw made a transit type van
