      Sadly I think they already do realise it. That's why they're doubling down on making it difficult, to put people off before it gets "out of hand" and everyone is enjoying themselves far too much.
      Extortionate increases in road tax for "domestic vehicles"will be next. Watch this space....

      Try living in these areas. As a resident we have so much trouble with the Travellers who descend on to open spaces , car parks, farmers fields and in fact anywhere they want to, causing damage to property and leaving behind a disgusting mess of human excrement and rubbish. the local authority has to involve the courts to move them on.

    Welcome (back) to the shot hole of Europe....Not allowed, not allowed, not allowed. No vehicles over 2M. No parking, no parking. £5 fine for stopping at traffic lights. No enjoying the coastline.. not allowed. Seals only show if you've paid to see them. Its not just campervan/motorhome unfriendly its everything unfriendly unless you pay £10/hr to breathe. All run by 'local councils'.
    2. suggestions 1. Get that van revved up and heading for Spain ASAP. 2. Don't let there be a 'next time' unless its essential.

Yes it does feel like you can’t do anything without paying high prices unlike across the channel and there are so many rules in comparison too as far as vans are concerned.. But let’s see what happens when we head north next week and escape the crowds! It’s understandable that things need to be ‘controlled’ more in busy areas.. Spain for example is empty in comparison 😅

Lots of campers up there and no time limits. If you’re heading in that direction when you head home it’s well worth a visit the beaches are lovely.

    Sad , because whether you are an international tourist , or like yourselves UK residents, if you feel unwelcome you don’t stop and support local business. Sad too to see so many UK residents moving to other countries because they cannot afford to buy a home in their own country. This is not just in the UK of course . So many people globally are struggling to buy a home . Thanks for going the extra length to show us Norfolk . I really enjoyed seeing places that being disabled I have not been able to access because of the ban on vans. Many disabled people need vans to transport their electric wheelchairs. Loving your videos and your honesty and balanced views on the places you travel . Hugs

Yes there are sites to say at and we do at times but they are not always where you want to spend the day and, as you say, just being able to access places in the daytime would be nice at times! So much to learn from France and Spain in particular, but also Italy where we currently are - anyway…. Happy travels 😊

    First time viewer: New Subscriber • I haven't been to Cromer but I went to smelly Sheringham. There are HUGE quarried rocks on the top of the beach which I assume are to protect the seafront from the thrashing high tide but they're covered in algae and so they smell like a neglected stagnant fish tank or pond which is absolutely rank.
    Great Yarmouth and Gorleston on Sea are my most favourite places in the UK. Gorleston is the ONLY place where I have ever swam in the sea.

      ​@theexPAWers there is a bit just before the actual car park, kind of like the road leading up and loads of campers park there.
      Thinking about it, you have visited during the school holidays so that may be why the height restrictions are up. I go up with my partners family all the time but not during school holidays and everything is easily accessible.
      Honestly I would visit again when it isnt so busy, Great Yarmouth has some really cute alternative shops and Hemsby is so sweet but washing away into the sea so it's really sad, but my dog loves the beach and we've seen seals there. Although litter can be an issue on that beach, but that's the general public for you 😢

    That stone on all the houses is flint. It’s very common in Norfolk. How wonderful you got to see inside the life boat. My mother in law has a name on her boat somewhere. I think we were told it’s on a boat out of Ireland.

    Hello my lovelies x come back in November when it’s super quiet and see the seals and their pups on Winterton beach. Happy to have you park up at my place just a few miles from the Norfolk coast 😁 Oh and the stone used on buildings in Norfolk is all flint - either kept whole (like a pebble) or knapped to create a flat surface. Love watching your travels and the doggies 💕

    As a norfolkonian , the councils and nimbys are complete R's holes, so many carparks are unwelcoming for campers and those of us that like to wildcamp with landrovers and roof tents. However as assistant rep for glass I know and have driven every Greenlane in Norfolk over the last 20 years so i do happen to know of some great overnight stops with scenic views... I've also recently joined off grid campers, a great website/place to find an overnight camping spot with local landowners.

    Hi Sarah & Nick, wanted to thank you for a video a few weeks ago when you were enjoying Olive oil on your crumpets with marmite and nouch, these are all things I love but never thought to put them together and now it's a regular healthy go to 😋
    I agree Norfolk is beautiful but wild camping is tricky, I used to live in Norfolk.
    We now live in Essex near the sea and you are very welcome to fill up with water or park on our drive or enjoy the comfort of a home shower and home cooked meal whenever you need, if passing.
    We have a caravan, but in lockdown you inspired us to fit out a basic camper van and we had a go at wild camping.
    Since then you have shown how beautiful the Andalusia region is and we regularly go there and stay in a fantastic hotel.
    Thursday nights are the best!
    Take care and keep exploring with your boys they are just gorgeous ♥️xxx

    I agree with others about parking vans here in the UK it's not easy unlike other places in Europe you end up using campsites all the time. We have parked in some car parks that allow it we stayed in one recently which was really good a carpark in the middle of the woods, it was a pine forest and every other tree had a huge ants nest made of pine needles huge things, it was lovely and quiet and cost eight pounds for the night. The RNLI are losing lots of money at the moment since they turned into a taxi service for illegal migrants folks are fed up with their money going to it. Lovely video as usual see you next week. You can see seals at Northumbria on the Farne Islands I know the puffins aren't there after July but I think you can see the seals, you can park your van in the car parks and the dogs can go on the boat.

    I tried Winterton-on-sea beach car park and was told 'we don't allow motorhomes' even though my van is only 5m long. I pointed to a VW van same length as mine in the car park and she was adamant that they didn't allow motorhomes! Glad you found a good spot eventually

  • @ThisWontEndWell
    @ThisWontEndWell Месяц назад +5

    These are resort towns that struggle for enough in-season trade as they are not as connected to to the motorway network as other places and they still shoot themselves in the foot by being hostile to the growing camper van use.

    • @RiddimKingdom
      @RiddimKingdom Месяц назад +1

      Exactly, they should do what New Zealand and Australia do where you can freedom park anywhere (unless sign posted!) and they have council workers who patrol a couple times a day who are friendly and just issue fines ONLY to those people who create who piles of rubbish or light fires where not allowed. Otherwise they just have a chat and recommend good surf spots and good places to eat. So tourist friendly and kind

    Unfortunately most towns and park ups along the Norfolk coast have gone no overnight camping. Also height barriers everywhere. This is mainly because of travellers causing major problems. Refusing to move on and leaving loads of rubbish, not to mention the local shops and pubs having to close because of the trouble they caused. There are still a few hidden spots, but nothing like there used to be.

    Such a shame about the parking situation there, that you can't even park up in a van during the day. If ever you make it up to the north west you'll find a much better welcome, with some areas pro-actively encouraging vans (Fleetwood and Lytham proms in Lancashire - free and right next to the sea with toilet emptying facilities and loos, plus Walney Island and Barrow-in-Furness on the coast in Cumbria - Walney has a seal colony as well). Well worth the trip. 🙂Hope the rest of your time in the UK is more enjoyable for you.
