Love your videos been watching them for years .Best vid up to now is the canoe trip on the low stretch of water where you kept getting grounded .Love it !! Enjoying your new adventures in your camper van .Like this one of the Cheviots .We stayed at Barrowburn tea rooms when it was a B and B while walking the Pennine way .Ian and Eunice were lovely there . Looking forward to more of your campervan exploits. Gives me and my wife ideas where to wild camp in our van . Love Northumberland you are spoilt !! Best wishes . Billy
Thank you Billy, you are so right, we are spoilt, there are some great places in Northumberland to wild camp in our vans. I only hope it doesn't get too popular or the bad campers don't leave a mess because I fear the authorities may clamp down on it in the future.
the multi purpose vehicle just gives you that easy plan b option Damion 👍 you could have took poor flossy for a bit play with her friends like 😂🤔 the walk up that valley road is my favorite in the Cheviots 👌
Berlingo's are great stealth camping vehicles because they dont look like campervans. When the family and I went to the campsite in the Newlands Valley, Lake District, we paid for a car, 4 people and a tent, which was much cheaper than the campervan fees. Steve Butler who is on RUclips, visted the same site a few days earlier and paid more for one person and a van, which was a smaller footprint than what we had. The Coquet valley is a lovely place to visit, I don't see many people going there on RUclips. When you come around the valley bend at Barrowburn, its one of the best views in the Cheviot hills.
Nicee little vid .Bought berlingo mk2 this year and made a boot and fitted tinted window film to all rear windows , makes all the difference mate for privacy , the super multi use vehicles.
First car I ever drive was a Peugeot partner, essentially same vehicle. First place I drove to was there haha! Also have same black/orange storage box. This is just weird mate😂. Another brilliant vid from Felly, cheers!
@@Fell_Wanderer yeh b&m that's it. Been in van full of camp cook stuff since the summer, sometimes camp close to where I'm working to save fuel. Visited your town today for first time ever, loads of army stuff in charity shops and got a sturdy little steel egg poaching kit for 1.50, well chuffed. Nice little shop past wetherspoons too selling work clothes had decent hunting clothes and bloke was sound as🤘🤘🤘
@@Fell_Wanderer Once you've got them tinted you can put some curtains across with velcro, that way you can have lights on at night and nobody can see them. Also a 4x3 tarp folded in half over the open tailgate and pegged down gives a little more wind shelter. Lessons learnt from stealth camping in my Vito van!
Nice to see you back out That area is one of my favourites but like you say the road is a tad tight and nerve racking as some vehicles tank it along. Keep em coming
One of my favourite places in the cheviots, Chew Green. Often thought about camping there to see if any Roman ghosts about. Nice walk to Spithope bothy from there as well. Great video a usual 👍👍
It wasn't to busy either Graham, didn't have to pass many cars on the narrow road up the valley. I don't see much content of this area on RUclips, its a beautiful area and very underrated.
Mark, I didn't know that, thank you for the info. Through the range is a quicker route but the single track from Alwinton is very scenic this time of year with the autumn colours.
@@Fell_Wanderer just has another look it's a bit confusing I'd just stay out if the flags are flying to be on the safe side, I thought if the barriers were still up it was safe to drive over
I use the car to sleep in when I'm working doing security,as soon as I'm asleep I don't think about anyone outside,there's a few vids on using stuff on windows to make it more concealed if that's what you want to do in the future?ATB 👌
I've bought blackout blinds but thought it was secluded enough and not to cold to use them. They are isulated to prevent heat loss so will try them in the future.
Hey Up matey. Great little motor for camping in. As the years go by I find myself favouring the back of the Volvo XC70 for overnighters. Less messing than putting up a bivvy and heck of a lot easier to pack up. Great when its wet too no drying kit out when you get home. Just have to find a happy medium between ventilation and keeping warm this time of year..... Get into the Galloway forest and pull into a fire break entrance. You can just about disappear from sight in them. Hope to see more van adventures and development of your set up.
Thanks, Galloway forest seems a good idea, wild camping is less restrictive and the dark skies makes it ideal for astrophotography. I have to admit, loving the comfort of the van and not needing to carry heavy packs. I think cooking under a small tarp with be the next thing I try. Don't like cooking out the back for safety reasons. Also found I was constantly moving stuff around when changing activities, having stuff in their own bag or box will be alot easier. I found keeping the Jackery on the front passenger seat charging stuff was the first good idea I came up with, hopefully more ideas on future videos and also tips from you guys, thanks for your input.
@@Fell_Wanderer So true the night skies up there can be stunning.I can see some more of your fantastic time lapse star fields coming. My best gadget buy for motor camping is a small cheap usb powered light (type you can get for lighting up a key board with a flexible arm) in the motor. I find it ideal for casting just enough light to see by and far better than using the interior light in the motor making it look like a light house. Stay safe Damian.
The Coquet valley is very underrated, especially the views along the minor road up the valley. I noticed the carpark at Blindburn, looks a good spot. Nice walk from there to an old ruin at Yearning Hall.
They don’t sell a Berlingo over here in the States, which is too bad, as I really like the aesthetics and utility of it. Looks just right for your future car-camping videos. And if you don’t already have one, a refrigerator that runs off the car or your Jackery is a game changer, at least for me. Good seeing you again!
With the global chip shortage there are less Berlingos in Europe and a waiting list. Used vans are selling like hot cakes. I have a small fridge which runs off AC as well as 12V, the latter uses less power than the inverter. Didn't bring the fridge as the weather is getting colder now and was only camping overnight. Thanks for watching.
I just watched your recent video where you had all the Jackery products, and saw your fridge. That’s quite a set up. After all the bivouacking and welcome hardship, you’re due some creature comforts!
It doesn't feel as private as backpacking wild camping. I'm only about 40 miles from the Scottish border, might start going there as wild camping is legal and tollerated.
That area up there is great Damien myself and Roney camped up there a few months ago right on the pennine way it was a cracking night out stuck in a tent because of the rain and midges 😂😂😂 lots of historical interest up there and ya right to point out the red flags lots of live firing up there catch up soon mate atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍🤘🤘
You can park in one of the layby's on the Gibbet road to Elsdon and wander into the forest, you don't have to go in far, it all looks the same so anywhere is ok. I sometimes park on the forest track near the village at NY 99783 90167
Hello Damian, Long time no see you. You know it makes sense basically to Go Outside, walk around, get away from all our electronics from time-to-time. I suppose mancamper66 is done with RUclips...he is missed, and I hope he is alive & well, doing something else even more interesting than filming, or maybe camping without recording for posterity. Meanwhile, Damian, Happy Trails...
Mancamper hasn't uploaded for a while and is only taking a break from what he's said. We've been out together but not filmed and I'm sure he will be uploading again soon.
Looks like a great setup, I'm yet to try my old Russian 4x4 as a camping vehicle, but intending to try it at some stage. I would be MOST grateful if at some stage you could explain your OSMO Action setup, I don't know what that part is on the top, a mirror, a light or both and the microphone rig looks mint too. Now I know why you get such great audio even out in a gale.
The Osmo action is in a cage with a cold shoe adaptor on top to attach a small light which is a Manfrotto Luminuse which is nice and compact but there are better small lights out there, mine isn't bright enough but still ok for fill in light. The Osmo Action has a USB-C audio adaptor with a Movo VXR10 shotgun mic attached to a cold shoe mount on the Ulanzi MT-16 mini tripod which I like because it extends to make a longer selfie stick. This setup makes for a great compact vlogging rig
@@Fell_Wanderer Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I have copied and pasted it into a Word File so I can look at it when required. Much appreciated.
Hi mate. Loving the vids. You've made me want to hike the cheviot hills. Was wondering if you could help us out please? Havent got a clue where to park, is wooler a safe place to leave a car for a few days or is there anywhere better? Thanks pal
I think parking in Wooler is as safe as any other rural village, I've not heard of any problems. I've not parked in Wooler but have parked overnight at the carpark in Hethpool without issues, even though a sign says no overnight parking. I use Google Earth and street view to locate parking spots and have never had problems parking anywhere in the countryside.
I had to hold the Jackery review video for 3 weeks to coincide with their promotion and have done other camps but didn't upload because they were more about socialising with friends and didn't want to film drinking and being daft in the woods. I will try and upload more frequently from now on.
Massive chunks of meat but there seems to be a bit less than there used to be, still good value when you compare to expensive MRE rations. You pay a lot more for convenience, Aldi and Lidl are underrated, just wish they would get the "look what we've found meals" back in.
Don't worry about people seeing you. With world travel restrictions, more and more people are doing it. Van life is becoming more acceptable these days. This is the age of the new, new age traveler. Scotland has the right idea. Scotland welcomes and encourages this type of tourist........This could be a new direction for your vids. Keep em coming ya doing well.!
For a Berlingo XL 3rd generation, the same one as mine, load length is 7 foot 1 inch, the Berlingo Medium load length is 5 foot 11 inches, so you would need to move the seat forward a bit. You will have to make some kind of raised platform for the space between the folded rear and front seats when in the sleeping position. Pushing the front seats forward creates a big gap where you will put your pillow.
@@Fell_Wanderer they only go to remote areas i was in a car with friend and we drove by and saw these idiots driving up and down these roads not by you but must cost a lot in fuel

Love your history vids.
Get Oout and a bit of wild camping you know it makes sense

Great one again Damien, you always cheerfully go where no one has gone before. Brilliant. Atb. Harry
2nd :) liked before I've watched in full... love Fell wanderer's video's (loved the duct tape gag) :)
Aahhh wee man, great to see you oot and aboot, nice car bud, and a great video, cheers brother.....👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🍺🍺🍺
Nice film good to see you back out
That looks like a fantastic car/van for a bit of stealth camping.
Thank you, I try to bring something different to the channel.
I was waiting for the Doggers to knock on the car window 😉 great to see you back doing your videos again
Another great video pal
Looks a really nice place
Great car camp mate 👍

Good video bro ya vehicle sure has plenty of storage. Safe travels
I'm used to being minimal when camping but kept filling it with stuff I didn't really need because it has the space.
Good to see you out and about again! Loving the local history!
This was absolutely brilliant damo mate thanks for making it 👍 ❤
Nicee little vid .Bought berlingo mk2 this year and made a boot and fitted tinted window film to all rear windows , makes all the difference mate for privacy , the super multi use vehicles.
I will get the windows tinted eventually, I do like that idea for added privacy. Thanks for watching.
First car I ever drive was a Peugeot partner, essentially same vehicle. First place I drove to was there haha! Also have same black/orange storage box. This is just weird mate😂. Another brilliant vid from Felly, cheers!
Great minds think a like, I got my storage box from B&M, they seem much stronger than the clear boxes. Thanks for your comment, ATB.
@@Fell_Wanderer yeh b&m that's it. Been in van full of camp cook stuff since the summer, sometimes camp close to where I'm working to save fuel.

Congrats on the Berlingo! that a pretty nice van enjoy
Great to see another video absolutely love watching you get out and do a bit of wild camping you know it makes sense absolutely brilliant lol xx
Ace ... many thanks from Cornwall. Was up in Berwick last week and Coldstream ..... lovely and warm.
Another great video / history lesson .I have been waiting for a new one , now that van camping that looks about for me
Berlingo looks terrific, ideal for your needs !
Stop worrying and relax on your overnighters 🤘
Wild camping laws are changing soon so not sure how that will impact the hobby. With time I will learn to relax more.
Great setup. Get those windows tinted 👍🏻
Didn't realize you can get them tinted afterwards. That would be a good idea, thanks for your comments.

That area is one of my favourites but like you say the road is a tad tight and nerve racking as some vehicles tank it along.

you can still go over when the flags are flying , just make sure you turn right at the junction, good car set up
Mark, I didn't know that, thank you for the info. Through the range is a quicker route but the single track from Alwinton is very scenic this time of year with the autumn colours.
As a game keepers son I know that will only piss the estate right off
@@Fell_Wanderer just has another look it's a bit confusing I'd just stay out if the flags are flying to be on the safe side, I thought if the barriers were still up it was safe to drive over
I did see a car enter while flags were flying. Good advice, best to stay out just in case.
Great to see ya back Damian, great video, nice one 👍👌😀

I’m off for a week soon , so definitely be popping up to the location hopefully the weather is a bit better
when you going to manscamp66 and crazy cheviot kryton davy for a bit of you know it makes sense camp outing
Been camping with Mancamper, just didn't record because it was just a piss up in the woods.
@@Fell_Wanderer but thats was makes it funny on youtube
Always wanted to go up there. I knew there was a Roman fort up there but didn’t know about the Norman Chapel or the medieval village.
There isn't much to see from the ground except earthworks but just being there in the hills, knowing about the history is enough for me.
history always changing

Ya need them windows tinting
I might do that, didn't realise it could be done to existing windows
Good to see you out again,your van looks good for camping trips to ,ps are you still eating instant mash ?? Cheers.
No I'm not eating instant mash recently, I go through phases of eating different food. Anything easy and convenient is best for me.
