One of my favourites. I love seeing the detail of van life, the harbour looked fab, and there is nothing worse than a cup of tea that doesn't arrive quickly enough!
Thank you so much Carol and Ken - I’ve pretty much binge-watched all your back catalogue and nothing more enjoyable than spending an afternoon with you both. Love the vids and am so grateful that you both share your lives with us all. Can’t get enough of campervan vids, and, for me, yours are a country mile and head and shoulders above all the others. Thank you. (tiny feedback if I may - watched loads of other vids whilst you were preparing this new one and couldn’t remember you were on Anglesey - might be nice to mention it in each vid where you are for old people like me who can’t remember!! haha) x
Thanks so much for watching Sheila. You make a good point about remembering to mention where we are. We will have to remember to include that on future videos. Thanks for pointing it out 👍😀
We are still working our way through your back catalogue of videos. We absolutely love watching your content. Ken, Carol & the Little Red Van are our current ‘go to’ TV. We watched a Q&A earlier, We were convinced you were Ex Army Ken and Carol a teacher… how wrong were we, thank you for your service Ken and we hope you and Carol continue to have an amazing retirement. Amy Paul & Ted (the dog 🐾)
@@LifeistooshortCK it’s that lovely calm manner you both have with a touch of authority. We don’t quite sit cross legged watching, with fingers on lips but we do take on board your wisdom. Your are educators in your own way! Ted says thank you and night night! 🐾 happy travels
The drone footage is beautiful. It takes one to inaccessible places, then couple it with the right music and a mood is set. I couldn’t wash my hair like that, Carol, as mine is to my waist! But I’m glad you can. Thank you for showing the different foods that were consumed. Everything always looks so delicious, probably because it is and because you both create an atmosphere of peace and calm. Mary
Now, that was a good one. The beautiful small working harbour, the food, the drone work over the old copper mine, the music. Outstanding stuff. Thank you very much. Regards AJ
Stunning drone shots at the end …. colours in that late light. Jane will be all over this video when she get back from up north … loves practical stuff so the hair drying will be a topic
Cheers. The drone was busy that day. I thought it would be easy to follow Carol on her walk from the air. I couldn’t find her and we had radios. It’s easy to get lost up there with so many paths 👍
Good morning another great video very pretty little harbour love all the drone footage at the copper mine looked like a different world up there . Dinner looked really good , I am putting my name down for a signed fisted addition of the cookbook :) I need that . Take care always .
Don’t get a Gnarbox 😏👍. They cost a fortune, not worth the money and you could get a sack load of memory cards which are easier to use and hide against theft (god forbid 😱)
Ahoy Pirates! Loved the cute little harbor and the magnificent dronescapism! :) Coffee making is indeed therapeutic. Wonders you show, keep going, folks! Aye! Bear hugs from Captain of the good old Blackthorne
Ah the joys of backing up footage, a good discipline doing that after every filming day. You caught the magic hour on Paris mountain, great tones and contrasts 👍
There is a certain amount of luck in filming as I am sure you know from your channel. I was so happy that I got to fly a sunset up there. As for backing up it has to be done but what a pain in the ….😏
we stayed there a couple of weeks ag stumbled across it we never knew it was there absolutey beautiful we was so lucky weather was perfect then we went to south stack in our little red van ha ha if we had sen you we would of come and said high lovely vids
Oh! That tea and breakfast looked so good! There is nothing like the tea in the British Isles. Began drinking it at my granny’s in N. Ireland many summers on my visits. I would try to replicate it here, but it never tastes as good. I think it is the water or the wonderful dairy products there. I had to look up what “cream tea” was when you said it. Boy, I would love that right now! Great video, love the drone shots and how well you cook in your LRV👍
Thanks Suzy. We do take the good old British cuppa for granted and don’t really appreciate it until we can’t get tea bags abroad 😊 You must try a cream tea if you get the opportunity 👍
We certainly will. It will probably be launched next to the discounted items section in all major Lidl outlets that offer free parking for campervans 👍
Great vlog as always folks, and really pleased you managed to get the drone up at Parys! We were there last month, but only managed to have a very quick walk around as we had to be elsewhere, but always wondered what it looked like from above; brilliant! Cheers for this one and look forward to the next 👍 Mart & Jo
Interested to see your back up procedure. I opted for several SD and Micro SD’s and just keep them in two wallets! Used and ready for use! I don’t edit on the go mind you! I download them to two locations when I’m home before editing! Lovely light at the end on your final flight 👍
The breakfast looked great. Made me hungry even this late in the evening. Those sachets usually have a tiny nick somewhere on the long side to tear them open.
I have a top tip from co-op's, sometimes I do rail work and being on standby involves parking a bus up in very remote locations, I buy the minced beef hotpot and the veg, the veg is fresh broccoli peas Leeks and green beans, the hot pot and separate veg are meant to be microwaved but I use my camping stove to heat the hotpot and a small pot with a little water to steam the veg, lovely meal as you get the minced beef with gravy and potatoes plus the steamed veg. Love the films that you make, all the best, Graham.
Your getting very good with the drone footage Ken. Vidal Sassoon and John Frieda better watch out with your hair dressing skills too. Look forward to the next one. Andy.
Didn’t know old mine workings could look so beautiful especially from the air. It might be nice to include some of Carol’s photos, that she takes on her solo walks, in the videos!
Great video as usual making me wistful for another camper I’ve had two Hymers and a Pilote in the past but they would be to big for just the two of us and our dog Trying to convince the Wife we can cope with a pop top hard work at the moment though Drive safely Rich and Carolxxx
I imagine it might be. I took a huge deep breath when we sold the comfy big caravan without knowing if we could manage in the little red camper. Blooming glad I did though 😁👍. All the best
I've got a stainless steel gadget that my eldest granddaughter gave me from a Christmas cracker. It has a bottle opener, corkscrew and knife blade and is shaped like a key and indeed is a keyring. The knife has a wicked point and I spear the sauce pouch in the middle and then fold. You get all the sauce out easier than from cutting a corner and it's less messy. Incidentally I can see you don't have anymore trouble than I do with washing your hair Ken. I guess yours , like mine, gets washed every time you wash your face. Beautiful colours in the spoil heaps surrounding that copper mine. The aerial footage really shows it off. 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK they don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring. 🤣 I shall forever have the image of Jonesey's cold steel every time I use a sauce sachet in a cafe now. 🤣👍 oh and a Biryani is my kind of curry and that's a good way to do it all in the one pan from a packet and a tin. If you want it hotter try tempering some madras curry powder in a couple of knobs of butter before you put the rice in. 👍
Love the video as always... must say the breakfast looked amazing... but I still don't know how I would be able to handle the beans though... we usually get more potatoes or some sort of pancake or grits... but I assume you would feel the same way about our breakfasts here in the States...
It definitely is easier to wash the hair if you have a short cut and not long thick fuzzy curls. And a second person to hold the showerhead and ensure the water doesn't get everywhere helps too. As a single female small camper user (Dacia Dokker) I speak from experience 😉
I've been watching your video this morning while looking at my NV200 from our caravan and thinking why can't my wife be as adventurous. We are going to the Peaks shortly though.
I love your Anglesey trip ,its on my bucket list. a bottle of Tabasco sauce will heat up your curry Ken ,just a few drops. Have you tried the chinese curry paste they sell in butchers shops they are fab, put some the paste in a saucepan add boiling water a squirt of tomato sauce and some cooked chicken bring to a boil, and adjust the thickness' to your liking.
It has been a process over several trips working out what we really need to carry and what goes where. If anything isn’t used on a trip it is left at home for the next one 🙂
Love the brown v red choice debate. Pleased you didn't let me down Ken. I always carry a victorinox class small blade 1 1/2 inches scissors and nail file. Always come in handy.
Great to see your calm way of life in the van. Just curious, did you cover gas use and setup in another video? Particularly interested in Europe set up. Thanks
Yes what a good idea, a Cookery Book, just putting together all the recipes just for Campervaning, after all it looks so inviting you get my taste buds going as soon as I see you eat, and that Breakfast looked amazing, that Copper mine looked interesting the colours in the terrain we fantastic, take care U 2, Colin.
No need to spend big money Matthew if you self convert, you can experience what we do by temporarily modifying your car. Plenty of people have done this and it’s a great way to see if you like the lifestyle without committing. We took a huge risk buying our van as we had no way of knowing if we would enjoy it. Thankfully it lived up to our expectations 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Yep, I think the next car won't be a car, it'll be a small van to convert. Nothing I can do in my little VW Up though! Thanks for the inspiration :)
That Gnarbox is awfully expensive. You could buy a lot of spare memory cards for that price. Provided you label them and manage them it might be a better backup solution.
Funny you should say that. Memory cards are definitely a better option. I got a Gnarbox as it was supposed to be a reliable system that could be used to edit with an iPad. It wasn’t. I think the next IOS update may make it totally redundant.
Thank you both for another lovely film. I’m waiting for my new conversion due around October, so am grateful for all the tips in the meantime. I noticed you don’t use a table, did your van come with one, or did you decide it was easier without?
We bought one but never use it. We find trays are multipurpose and take up very little room. Our table stores in the boot so by not taking it we can utilise that space for other things 👍
Have you thought of this ? Just watching you open the sauce sachets made me think ! Recently from eBay I bought a mix of those ..brown and red sauce ..mayonnaise salad cream tarta sauce ..vinegar I’m sure barbecue sauce ….just got them for a fun thing I do sometimes . I thought would those be an idea to have in the camper van .hardly and storage needed and easily opened in the van with scissors .. It would give you a nice choice of sauces . Maybe a little expensive but to save space maybe worth it …. I paid £7.99 for 50 sachets …. If you fancy it put 8n the search ………. Heinz single potion sauce sachets ….you can buy different amounts …and.individual amounts of each kind …I got what’s called the pick and mix
Actually Ken a mountain is any above 1000 mts Snowdon being 1085 mts Hope you don’t think I’m being pedantic I’m just inspired with your video content it’s very professional 👍🖐️
Really interesting video! I've spent many holidays on Anglesey, going back to my childhood, but we've not taken the van down there since getting it last year. Will have to put that right very soon! Did you note the height restriction on the car park? Thought I saw 7ft 6 but can't be sure! Thanks & all the best👍👍
always fantastic videos views. food yummy 😋 as always, enjoy your day its sad we lost the football ⚽️ 😢 we had torrential rain here in UK flooding, its still raining now. im in hospital tomorrow im having kidney stone removed, im frightened.
Still binge watching!!!! You're my evening relax time!!
Good to hear. Thank you ❤️
That drone footage, along with the music, was sublime! 😌
Thank you 🙏
So much to love about this video -- breakfast, boats, and buttery smooth golden-hour drone footage. Bravo!
Many thanks Denny 👍🙂
Hi Ken and Carol I absolutely love the footage from the drone and your music choice Melissa from Adelaide Australia. 😍

Great little shower that. That was a breakfast and a half, Ken.

Brilliant drone footage of the mine area; the colours and patterns are awesome. So love how you enjoy your meals. 💛💚
Thank you Michele 🙂
Excellent drone shots,
Even an old mine can look amazing, thanks 😎
Cheers Douglas. Wouldn’t want to be without the drone 👍
This vlog is so beautifully put together . Thank you so much ! ❤️
Thanks 🙏 😀
Your comment about writing a cookbook was fantastic. I laughed out loud. Absolutely brilliant 👏👌
Glad you enjoyed it Mark 😁
Absolutely lovely looking place it looked quite foreign in some of the clips. The two of you ate well that day lol. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Best wishes back to you 👍
Hello Carol and Ken, again a greatl video with beautiful places, the harbour looked fab, delicious breakfast....thanks for sharing

Thanks Laura. Wishing you and your hubby safe and happy travels in your caravan 🙂
The breakfast looked great. Made me hungry even this late in the evening. Those sachets usually have a tiny nick somewhere on the long side to tear them open.
Our nicks always seem to be faulty. I think they are actually reinforced just to spoil your day 😏😁👍

Carol used to have a shoulder length bob which took a lot of styling. So much easier to manage short hair in the van 🙂
I've been watching your video this morning while looking at my NV200 from our caravan and thinking why can't my wife be as adventurous. We are going to the Peaks shortly though.
Carol is more adventurous than me so the roles are reversed in our little van 😁👍. Try bribery 😏👍

I paid £7.99 for 50 sachets …. If you fancy it put 8n the search ………. Heinz single potion sauce sachets ….you can buy different amounts …and.individual amounts of each kind …I got what’s called the pick and mix
You could also stick a fee I. Your backpack for when you are out and about
That is a great idea. We are looking it up on Amazon 😀👍
My type of breakfast, lol.
Don't want to be a pain but what was the place looked fantastic
Do you mean Amlwch Port or Parys Mountain?
Actually Ken a mountain is any above 1000 mts Snowdon being 1085 mts Hope you don’t think I’m being pedantic I’m just inspired with your video content it’s very professional 👍🖐️
No I don’t think anyone is pedantic pointing out facts 👍
I prefer to comment last then I know I’ve had the last word lol 🇮🇪☘️ UP WEXFORD
👍🙂
Crush all your air out of your bottles and screw the lids back on tight it saves space for more rubbish and helps bin collectors 🙂
Will do thanks for the tip 👍👍👍
nail clippers are small, cheap & will get you into the sauce packets
Great suggestion Ferney and dual purpose ❤️👍
The port is where Lloyd's TV advert was filmed👍👍
Thanks Brian. We checked out the advert on RUclips last night 🙂👍
They should have a hole puncher on the table for the packets of sauce. Or buy yourself a small Swiss army knife with a pair of scissors.
Great ideas Chris, thanks 🙂👍
Do you make a note of which cafes or attractions you wish to return to in the future?
Not as such but we do keep a campervan log of what we do and where we go.
would the car run out of battery(electricity)?
Only like any other car. We have a separate leisure battery.
Really interesting video! I've spent many holidays on Anglesey, going back to my childhood, but we've not taken the van down there since getting it last year. Will have to put that right very soon! Did you note the height restriction on the car park? Thought I saw 7ft 6 but can't be sure! Thanks & all the best👍👍
Thanks for watching Des. Yes the height restriction at Parys Mountain car park is 2.3m 7ft 6ins.
@@LifeistooshortCK I will still probably take a sharp intake of breath! 😁 But that will do nicely! Thanks for the reply👍
Even if it’s too tight you could always park opposite the entrance. Saw plenty doing that 👍
Many videographers I follow use LaCie external hard drives.
Yes, they are good 👍
It almost looked like dune on dune to make Paris mountain.
Whoever was in charge of tipping the spoil didn’t seem to be working to a plan 😁👍
Breakfast...when you eat that in the morning...think happy till early evening..!??.(Said by a Belgian)
