    VAN GEAR
    We use an EcoFlow Delta Max 2 with solar panels for our electricity on the road. We never have to plug into campsite electricity supplies during the summer months. You can find them here amzn.to/43Mm8CQ
    We use these lights in the van amzn.to/42WVXbq - they are USB powered, last ages on a charge and they are detachable so you can take them to the toilet block at night time.
    This is our trusty diesel heater which we've had zero issues with amzn.to/46fVG6i - it is very warm and extremely economical. We upgraded some of the parts which can be found here -
    Fuel line amzn.to/3PDxTr5
    Exhaust amzn.to/46cammI
    Turret amzn.to/3PmLrH9
    Drill bit for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NEEPCT
    Hole Saw for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NjmR7i
    Heat Proof Sealant amzn.to/3Nb40eG
    Claire uses the heater in combination with this oversized hoodie which keeps her warm even in the Alps in winter amzn.to/42JG6Nf
    Our water tap is USB powered, lasts ages, and doesn't let us down amzn.to/46aamDN
    Our sink is just a sink but works well amzn.to/445I2kb
    We use 2 Jerry Cans for fresh and waste water amzn.to/3PlSQGv
    These are our blackout curtains that are lightweight and block the light brilliantly amzn.to/3XcCpyp
    Our windows have this stuff across them amzn.to/3NDn0Uv - we keep them closed with these press studs - amzn.to/3qRqUAm
    This handy humidity and temperature monitor is good for keeping an eye on the interior amzn.to/3CDw5Xi
    These are hands down the best travel towels. They are small to pack and work like magic at drying us off amzn.to/3JmDjCH
    When we cook in the van we use our beloved Ridge Monkey which can be found here amzn.to/3PDxa9l and my old Trangia Stove which is bullet proof. They can be found here amzn.to/3PkRRX6
    We use an iPad for navigation which is awesome. We mount this over our existing radio with these mounts amzn.to/46qcYxF - they are really good and we haven't had any accidents.
    The van is insulated with this insulation amzn.to/3XiVFKM - Claire is usually cold in the house but finds that she is always warm in the van.
    We used this for sound deadening the van which has made it so much quieter on the road amzn.to/3Jm8EFr
    CAMERA GEAR
    Our footage is shot on a GoPro which we highly recommend for travel as they fit into your pocket and your footage is stabilised. These are well worth having and are way better than your phone camera. You can find these here amzn.to/3pl9pb3 - because we use external microphones we use a media mod that allows this. You can find this here amzn.to/3NCxR13
    You may notice that we have really good low-light footage in our recent videos. This has been made possible with the Sony ZV-E10 camera. It's a vlogging camera with a swing-out screen and gives excellent quality images without being too big and heavy. You can find these here amzn.to/448TED2 and the lens that we use here amzn.to/3Nj1brU - the lens is extremely important for low light.
    One of the problems with the Sony camera is it is stabilised as well as the GoPro so we use this gimbal when out to smooth out the shots.
    We use a lot of batteries when out and about so we have added these extra batteries with chargers to our collection amzn.to/3NDVtm4
    This is our tripod which is great as it doubles as a monopod amzn.to/3p3IGzW - it's lightweight and easy to carry around.
    I love our camera bag, it's easy to arrange things how you want to with individual compartments, it's got a waterproof cover and you can strap the tripod to it amzn.to/3qRa0Si
    We use Comica C3 wireless microphones so that you can all hear us clearly. They are a budget mic but really good for capturing dialogue as we are out and about. You can find these here amzn.to/3Nh32xF
    These memory cards work really well for our 4K footage amzn.to/3Jmkj7e

    Well done guys. That will have frightened a few Southern Jessies from visiting The Dales. More room for the rest of us this summer Lol! Yeah the Strid is a beautiful stretch of water and worth a visit as well Aysgarth Falls and Malham Tarn. 🙂

      Hey. We were really impressed. I’d never heard of it but absolutely recommend a trip to everyone.
      I’ll look up those places now
      Enjoy your day ☀️

    I love Bolton Abbey. I do love the beauty of The Strid but the parking cost....😮 Last time I went, I was with a mate who was doing a pre wedding engagement shoot with a young couple. The fiance was jumping from one side to the other. I yelled to him how dangerous it was but he thought I was joking and thought it was about ten inches deep. It kind of spoiled the day for me seeing someone acting so stupid. I loved your video though which showed how fierce the Strid is. Thank you so much for commenting on my video on my viv-i-van channel. It meant the world to me 😊 much respect- Kenny.

      Hi Kenny. We loved The Strid and had never heard of it before we went. That whole area was great
      Now, your Vivaro is an absolute beauty. We have van envy. The drone vid was a corker, great location. Oh and now we know not to bother with Retford lakes no where near Retford 😂😂😂

    If you think about it:
    Compare the width of the river before and after. Then the width of The Strid.
    The river turns over 90 degrees and is as deep as it was wide higher up.
    All that churning adds a lot of air to the water which means ANYTHING that falls in sinks immediately.
    No buoyancy whatsoever.

    • @Stchristopherofatlantis
      @Stchristopherofatlantis  8 месяцев назад +1

      Hi. We absolutely loved this day out and would recommend a stroll to anyone thinking of going. There is loads to do around it.
      Thanks for watching this video James. Have a great evening

    • @jamesbrook16

      There’s a lovely walk of about 10 miles that takes in Bolton Abbey, the Valley of Desolation and Simon’s Seat.
      Best bit is you can park for free on that route. And take your own sandwiches and a flask!!

    • @Stchristopherofatlantis
      @Stchristopherofatlantis  8 месяцев назад +1

      Free!!! Sounds good!!!
      We liked Valley of Desolation but didn’t make it to Simon’s seat. We will definitely return

    Not 100% fatal....the diver went in and survived to tell the tale. Sorry to be a pedant...but it needed saying.

      @Stchristopherofatlantis  Год назад

      Helllooo. Well spotted Chris 🥴😀
      It is true to say it is the most dangerous stretch of water in the world and we highly recommend people go and take a look. It’s a fabulous spot
