Ha ha, yes! And I would imagine for someone living full time in a van, all that work would be multiplied! 😁 Definitely worth the effort though, as we have some great times and see some beautiful places! Milly the puppy was cute wasn't she? First time we'd seen her 😁
Hello Marilu! Yes, it was an enjoyable little trip. It was great to meet up with family that we've not seen for a while! 😁 Thanks very much for watching & see you soon👍
Hi Des and Maria and family and Millie 😃 aww so cute. Hope her leg is better... Good to see the prep of the van, very nice van by the way, I really liked that. Thanks for showing us the reality of behind the scenes. Diolch! TaTa for now 👍
Hi Anna! Isn't Millie a cutie? Maria just spoke to Yvonne and her leg seems fine now, thanks👍 Glad you enjoyed watching me doing my chores 😁 All the best & take care! Looks like it's batten down the hatches with the storms for a few days!
Nice trip out Des Great tips on the van - we’re getting more temted by the day😃😃😃 Liked the look of the pub overnighter. Seems to be loads and loads doing that now 👍👍👍 Hi to Maria. Good to see she isn’t under the patio 🤣🤣🤣 Comment of the week, Maria 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers Des 👍👍👍
Go for it Dave, you know it makes sense! 😁 The pub overnighters are great for winter, as you don't need outside space to sit etc....and always nice to have a pub nearby anyway! Maria's out again next week! She'll be getting spoiled! 😁 Cheers for watching mate! Take care👍
Hi Aggy! Yes, and when you're sleeping in there it gets on your feet and you drag it into sleeping bags etc, etc. Best to keep on top of it....and it is still more fun than housework! 😁
Hi, Des, Maria and all of you! Very interesting this video, my friend. In fact, with my husband we are also evaluating the idea of turning a bit in a camper, but we never make up our minds .... Yet, especially at this moment, it is the best and safest way to move! Of course, there are many things to think about, but I think it is a pleasant experience to live! A hug and see you soon, my dear friend! Renata
Hello Renata! 😊 It is a lovely way to tour, and it makes a great base for us to hike and explore from. I hope you enjoy it if you give it a try! Thanks very much for watching and I hope you have a lovely weekend when it arrives!👍😊
Very nice video content , great tips on your Van . Enjoyed your walk , beautiful and peaceful view .Thanks for sharing video . Be healthy and good luck .
It was great to see the van again and the shady oak looks so beautiful ❤️. Lovin'the stream and views of the forest.snd bird. Great view of the water. Oh and the pub looks so cozy.
Hi Nicole! It was a nice little trip, and great to meet up with some family that we've not seen for a long time. Hope you are keeping well 👍 Thanks for watching and see you soon!
Hi Rachel! Yes, the van is nice and cosy at this time of year (still got your latest less than cosy wild camp to watch with my lunch! 😁). It was great to meet up with Maria's family after so long and get out for a walk! Hope you're keeping well👍😊
Hi Des! Nice to see your van and some of the things you do to maintain it. Great that you can get out over the winter! Nice to see Maria out for a walk with you- please say hello! Have a nice week! 😄☀️☀️
Hi Jennifer! Maria is right next to me in the campervan, so I've said hello 😁 We're just enjoying a few days up on the North Yorkshire coast. Very windy but a lovely area and we've even had a rare sighting of the sun! 😉 Thanks for watching and see you soon👍
Thanks for watching! Yes, our van is quite compact, but that suits us as we only have a small space to park. Great for a short break but you wouldn't want to live in it! 👍😁
Hi Ceri & Kat! Isn't Milly lovely? 😁 Only about 5 months old, so the first time we've seen her! Maria is playing out again next week...I do spoil that girl 😁 Cheers for watching and see you soon👍😊
Thanks! You need to happy operating in a small space, but we love it! 😁 We only did a short walk this time, but there's some stunning hikes around this area! Thanks for watching & see you soon👍
You did a great job prepping your van for the trip, but man -2 degrees. Hope your heater keeps up. The Derbyshire's Goyt Valley is really pretty. Sweet puppers- Millie. Oh, no, poor baby. Your walk was so nice. Love the sounds of the water. That sweet bridge with the gate. Loved it. The pub and food looked great.
I'm well house trained! 😁 That would be -2C so about 28f I think....but it actually didn't turn out quite as cold as that overnight. Thanks for watching & see you soon👍😊
I don’t know why my message ended up with most of it with a line through it. That was weird. Yes, I know it was close to about 28°F but that is cold for this Texas girl. 😂😂
Hi Dave & Diane! Yes, -2C so about 28f I think. I'm not sure it got quite that cold in the end, but we were plenty warm enough with the heater. Thanks for watching! Hope your weekend is going well👍 We're just packing for a few days away next week, but the weather is looking pretty horrible! 😁
Enjoyed the walk through of your van preparations, Des. Also looked like an enjoyable, peaceful walk to the reservoir and back 😊 Feels nice to meet up with people again after being away for so long too, glad you were able to do that. Take care!
Hi there! Yes, it was great to meet up with some family that we've not seen in a while. Glad you enjoyed the look around our little van 🙂 We're away at the moment in it up in North Yorkshire. Just enjoying our breakfast surrounded by bird song! 😁
Hello Des, we like your Campervan! We superior, that our first car will be a little Campervan next time. And a nice walk, too. Greetings from Germany! Kai 👍👍👍😀
Alright Des, the last thing you are is lazy!Don't be too hard on yourself 😉 The resevior was braw and the wee rindy dink bridge was cracking 😃 Loving Milly, she can't be very old? Enjoy the pub guys 😊
I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning cookers 😁 Little Milly is only just over 5 months I think. Lovely isn't she? Certainly the centre of attention on that trip! Cheers for watching👍😊
@@DesGreene I think you told me already now you mention it 😄 🤣 I have been toying with getting a dog but our cat seems to have issues... See ya on the next one mate
Totally agree Des #vanlife just like #camplife is more about the prep than the setting sun over the ocean in reality (had to smile though when you said it though)😂 i like the very big batter pack you have great in winter 🥶 👍 nice to see Maria and you tucking into a lovely meal 🤩 best wishes Simon👍🙏🏼
Hi Simon! Of course it does have those magic sunset moments...probably about 1:25 ratio with the hoovering I'd guess! 😂 The battery pack we had since we were "big tent" tent camping before the campervan. It lasts for ages and we still use it to lighten the load on the main leisure battery. Not one for backpacking though! 😁 Have as great a weekend as the weather permits mate!👍😊
Cheers Stephen! Just thought I'd do something a bit different as we weren't going to be walking far. It was a nice chance to meet up after not seeing them for so long! Catch you soon👍
Hey Debs, I’d love a camper but the mrs has said I’m not allowed until the kids are older … pub looked nice,,,so no better place to eat than a country pub with real home cooked food ❤️❤️
We've loved having ours! We've not used our big tent since, but I still love wild camping in a tent or bivvy when I get the chance (dodgy back allowing! 😁) Hope you manage to get one when the time is right👍😁
Good stuff Des mate, aye people don't realise all the prep work that goes into a van camping trip 😬 When we stay in the vandingo the mandingos don't believe me when i tell them how long I've been on sorting things out. Glad little Millie and little Maria were ok ha ha, great video pal ATB CHRIS 👍
Hi Chris! I bet the van must take some sorting after a BLOT big night out! 😂 Cheers for watching, mate👍 Still got your latest to catch up with after being away last week👍
No worries mate, it's impossible to keep up with everyone's channels 😬 The bonny lads don't leave too much mess to be honest but it takes me a while to sort the van out as i have all my work gear in there ☹ Take care Des mate 👍
Good day Des! Always good to see the “behind-the-scenes” chores the few speak about. Always fun to see the pubs. Greetings to Maria, John, Evon, and of course Millie. Lovely outing. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Dan! It was really great to meet up again as it's been such a long time! I knew we wouldn't be going on a long hike, so I thought I'd share some of my housekeeping 😁 Have a great weekend! Here in the UK we have battened down the hatches, as a storm is ripping through!
@@DesGreene hope you are safe. We’ve had some winter weather here. Leaving tomorrow for southern Georgia to hike on an island there. It is much warmer!
Love those always sunny channels with feet. Never have a problem and I suspect staff to empty the loo LOL. We are planning trips but still cannot get out.
Hi Des just seen this and have been tidying my own van too ready for getting out and about again. Will probably also do a pub stop. Glad to hear Maria isnt under the patio!! 😆
Hi Sue! Yes, seen your vid now. Looks like it's going to be a bit wild over the next few days! Hope it dies down by Sunday when we're hoping to head out again! Cheers for watching and hope your pub stop is fun👍😊
Hi Steve. Yes, same here. Never set foot in the place before, but they were really welcoming and the footpath down into the valley is directly opposite. So will definitely stay again. Cheers for watching👍
And here's me thinking you just hop in and drive away and have fun! There is much more to it than I thought. I was so engrossed in that Des' I've just had a nightmare here. I left the grill on....kitchen full of smoke.....eyes watering etc 😭. I'll have to open all the windows before the missus gets home! 🙄. ATB, Chris
Hi Will. They're really friendly at the Shady Oak. Last time I wanted to stay it was their closed day on a Wednesday, and they still said I could use the car park if I wished! Always nice to feel welcome 😁 Thanks for watching & catch you soon👍
I go through periods when I think getting a van would be a good idea and then i think no. I mostly am happy with the comfort of a hotel or motel. Good set up yo have with your van. Would think of hiring one for a week and see how I go.
Hi Mark. I think hiring one would be a great way of finding out whether it suits you. Myself and Maria used to have a small canal boat, so we already knew we were OK operating in such a small space, but it might not be everyone's idea of fun! All the best & thanks very much for watching👍
Good day. Sharing my support . Im a new friend here now . See you at my Home. wishing you success and more additional true friends to come. God Bless Us Always
I love your van! I wish I could persuade my wife to use our weekends doing that but she's always busy. Last time we had campervans was when the children were small. I notice you put sterilising tablets in the water. Do you drink the water much unboiled? Are pubs generally quite happy for an overnight stay in their carpark so long as you have a meal? Closest I came to that was maybe 5 or 6 years ago when I got free camping in a hotel back garden on Islay, overlooking Jura. The steak pie was lovely. I couldn't easily miss the CalMac car ferry (I was on my bicycle!) in the morning as it passed about 50 yards from my tent! :-)
Hi Terry! Keep working on her! 😁 Maria loves getting away in the van, but to be fair she used to enjoy tent camping too! We usually boil the water, as it's mainly for brews or cooking anyway. But we're not precious about it, and just put tablets in if any water has been standing for a while. Pubs vary. Some welcome vans overnight, but others don't. There are a good few websites wherevyou can track down places that accept vans. All the best & thanks for watching👍
Cheers Terry. I'd say it's pretty standard pub grub style. But nice home made pies, and proper fresh veg. Be warned...plates are like dustbin lids and the portions were huge! 😁
Another interesting episode Des👍but I think you need to improve with some click bait thumb nail, instead of the two campers you could have had Maria washing the van in a bikini. Ohh well next time. Kind regards. 👍🍺🍺
Thank you for sharing my friend!

Nice prep job. Millie is so cute and certainly full of energy. Nice video. Dinner looked good👍Like 49
Thanks! Isn't Millie a cutie? She seemed to love having an explore in the countryside! Thanks very much for watching👍😊
Nice to see someone talking about the realities of van life! Glad you were able to get out for a nice walk by the river. What a cute puppy!
Ha ha, yes! And I would imagine for someone living full time in a van, all that work would be multiplied! 😁 Definitely worth the effort though, as we have some great times and see some beautiful places!
Milly the puppy was cute wasn't she? First time we'd seen her 😁
@@DesGreene Cute, indeed! Hopefully she will be a repeat guest star! 🤞
😀Great walk. I learn a lot of new and interesting things from your videos.
Thank you! More cleaning the van than walking on this one I'm afraid 😁 Hopefully more walking on the next one👍😊
Have a good time for a short overnight trip host, and a beautiful walk on a beautiful place indeed relaxing one..
Hello Marilu! Yes, it was an enjoyable little trip. It was great to meet up with family that we've not seen for a while! 😁 Thanks very much for watching & see you soon👍
