Just found your channel today. Love it! Hubby is from Middlesborough originally , we now live in Abu Dhabi. We were in Stockton in May while seeing his dad in Thornaby. It was certainly drier when we were there. We couldn’t stop laughing when you mentioned Beryl the miniature toy Poodle, we actually met her in Yarm with her mummy and daddy. I got to hold her and she was adorable. What a small world it is! Can’t wait to watch all your videos. Thank you, Sandra and Andy xx
@@Stchristopherofatlantis We always have ways to make our days great,as you 4 do,but we also have the cant be assed days lol ...thats life and ya just got to roll with it!
My nana and pop lived in Thornaby. A few minutes from Stockton. Spent Easter, Summer and Christmas there. Happy memories. Unfortunately got a bad name later in years. Stockton market was brilliant. I was brought up in Edinburgh. My dad met my mum when in Airforce based near Stockton. Many lovely memories. Thank you. Margaret
Hi Margaret, Delighted to hear of these memories 😍 We had such a great time despite the weather, the beach at Seaton was lovely for the dogs. We wish you a great week 👍
I always have to check how much longer your video has left at some point in the middle. I don't want the end to come without being prepared, cause its like saying goodbye to favourite friends at the end of a great day out.
Hi Guy's, Well, that one was different. We visited there about 10 years ago, loved the site the area 😵. We ventured into the town and encountered a fight and police 😮. Never got into a pub too scared so headed back, it's a shame because it could be so nice. As always loved your comedy twist on it all. Poor dogs they looked frozen 😢. Take care and enjoy as always 😊 Stay safe, Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️
Great video Andy and Claire, shame about the weather but hey it was a bank holiday 😂 so it should be expected. Some cracking funny bits right through this one that made me laugh out loud. There is a raft of work going on in Stockton which when finished will be a great addition to the riverside around the castle gate area. Nice to see you had a little bit of nice weather at Seaton, it’s almost a forgotten sea side town but holds so many wonderful memories from when I was a lad. Great video and again thank you for the laughs… 🍺🍺🦴🦴
Hi. Yes we saw them doing the work and all starting to look swish! Hope you are well. Seaton was lovely, the beach really good for the dogs to run. Have a great week Tony 🍻 ☀️
Aw! You missed the Craft Beer/Ale triangle - best thing about Stockton! The Kopper Keg, The Golden Smog & Tipsy Turtle (bar you said looked full) Also San Seb Coffee Van other side of river not far from your Caravan Park. Lots good gigs go on in Stockton at The Globe & Georgian Theatre
My home town, its a dump lol, the CAMC site gets really good reviewa though and the Talpore near the barrage is a lovely dog friendly pub, I have done the rat race 3 times around there, great fun 🙂 As for Parmos, Stickies on Prince Regent Street ( near Borges ) is a must, bloody lovely food in there 🙂 Shame we did nt know you were there, could of met up and shown around 🙂 Great video though, take care, Trev Debz and Tyler
Hi Trev, Debz and Tyler, How are you? We could have done with you to show us around. We nipped over to the Talpore, of course!!, when it stopped raining 🤣🤣
I’m mystified at the reviews for that site. I’m sure the actual site is fine but FFS it’s only a few miles away from Port Clarence and Haverton Hill. Both are up there with the grimmest placeS in the UK.
You two are the most hilarious van lifers. You need your own TV comedy show. I bloody love you two and the dogs. You are my kind of humour. I know not everyone gets it. But sod them you make me belly laugh.
That was an excellent video again you two knocked it out the park..so many funny bits a great video from start to finish and the what 3 words was brilliant..well done you two the best on RUclips by far👏🏻👏🏻
As always an enjoyable video, but OMG that rain was unbelievable. You all looked a bit miserable until the dogs were able to have a run about. Hope you have better weather on your next adventure. Tata for Noo Jan and Willie
Whitewater is an excellent site, 10 min walk to Asda or a large Retail Park with restaurants. Dog friendly pub serving food 1 minute away. Tees Barrage 5 mins where you can often see seals. Lovely beach at Seaton, home of the famous Canoe Man TV Drama. I’m so glad you had a parmo, but sadly you missed the best fish and chips in the world at The Almighty Cod. Hartlepool Marina is a fascinating place too Stockton town centre looked glum on a rainy day, its equally glum on a nice day. Thanks for visiting Stockton, hope you come back John
Hi John. The site was fantastic, one of the friendliest we have ever been to. The queue at the Almighty Cod was big!! Always a good sign We will go to Hartlepool on another video. Thanks for watching Have a great week 👍
my home town .the first bridge you were at is the tees barrage. the other 3 are the princess Diana bridge.the millennium bridge.and the one with roman numerals is the Queen Victoria bridge
Hi you two, Great VD again and we laughed out loud with the Dora belly drag in the wet sand!😂😂 shame about the rain but pleased to see the return of the What3words...so funny. Hope you have all dried out, cheers Andy & Lyn. PS: We need to get you to 10k subscribers somehow 👍
Hello Andy and Lyn, She seems to love to drag herself around the park as well and all the other dog walkers have a laugh that it takes half hour to walk around it!!!! We will do more 3 words 🤣🤣 It’s making us work for that 10k 🤞🤞🤞
The way I cackled when u zoomed in on the locals staring at you as u entered that pub 😂😂 lucky you got out alive then Dora on the beach 😂😂😂 haha just love your videos guys honestly your fast becomeing my fav RUclipsrs just sooo good to watch the chemistry between u guys and how good the videos are 🤌🤌🤌🤌
My sincere commiserations. Stockton and the area round it is grim in glorious weather and has been in decline for many years. I live nearby and it baffles me why the CAMC built a site here. Good job you didn’t walk further east down the river towards Newport Bridge and Middlesbrough, that’s really bad. To anyone think of visiting this site my advice is DON’T. There’s nothing to see, nothing to do. Everywhere within walking/cycling distance of this site is horrible.
Ah beautiful Hartlepool, I'm glad you did not walk around the depressing town center there. I spent so many unhappy holidays visiting family, longing for that long journey back to the wet weather in bonnie Scotland. Another witty and entertaining vlog guys, luv it. Personally I don't think it matters how much rain falls you two are a ray of sunshine 😜
Aww guys, you were only a few hundred yards away from our house on Hartlepool Marina. If you'd kept on walking down the prom onto the Marina, there's loads of places you could have taken the doggies into :) Nice vid, we enjoyed it.
@@Stchristopherofatlantis yeah it’s an amazing beach, right in front of our house. We are very lucky. If you need any tip on Hpool, just give us a shout. We’re good thanks. ☺️
Hi you two I am here in the northeast of England from Germany been here for three weeks and it hasn't stopped raining since we got here we are in pickering for 2 weeks now so I hope it gets better 😊😊
Weather has been terrible in the north east England lately it's lovely around the tees barrage but Stockton is now not like it use to be they suppose to be regenerating it. Sundays have always been quiet Wednesday and Saturday are market days not as many stalls as use to be. It use to be lovely. The Stockton riverside festival is usually good in August but don't know what it will be like this year. If you like out of the ordinary shows. I felt so sorry for your dogs in all the rain. Hope they dried out OK.
Hello. Thanks for watching! I think with the rain and it being a Sunday it put people off venturing into the town. Such a shame. Dogs dried out nicely 🐾 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great evening
The date on the bridge in Roman numerals was 1992. Beautiful dreamers wake unto me? Poor Pablo & Dora looked well fed up until they could have a run on the beach.T,J& A.
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Archie would've been fine to begin with but after awhile he would've been fed up just like Dora & Pablo. We walk him twice daily morning and afternoon what ever the weather, that's the beauty of living in the countryside & being Archie is a Working Cocker spaniel he's in & out of the streams & ditches always foraging for the pheasants. I'm currently in WSM having the electrical box changed out at the supplying dealership.
Was that Stockton ghost town…?😮 Isn’t there a brick built train near by, I’m sure it’s near Stockton, we went there about 30 odd years ago. Keep it up. Love it.
Kudos to ya both for sticking with it despite the horrendous weather. James n Helen would have turned that into a pub crawl 😂😂. I love the subtle Yorkshire humour and the 3 words were crackin’ this week 😂
@Stchristopherofatlantis sorry. James and Helen do not come up to your professionalism. You don't judge. You are not rude to children being present at educational centres. Don't live for pubs, fish and chips,etc. Was funny at first but boring now. AND he dissed my home town. Edinburgh. No you can't comment. But stay true
@@MargaretWood-z6l I only referred to bythecurb because they were featured in this vlog. I suggest if they upset you that much don’t watch their channel. As for being offended by what people say about your hometown….maybe RUclips is not the best place for your entertainment. 🤔 I don’t know personally any of these people. Just willing to support anyone who is trying to make a living by giving up there time to entertain us 🤷🏼♂️
Dedication to the cause - Fun facts and dedication as well - Oh and the coffee cup giggles too Claire 😂 - The jokes are back - great video - Hope the “gear” survived 😀👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Great thanks - just waiting for our day of summer 😂😂 - You always look like you have a great laugh (except getting soaked 👎😀 Hope you are both keeping well 👍
Hi Brian. The 3 words are corkers! We are currently focusing on just 1 video a week, we are both still working full time and work is not allowing us enough time to do all the VanTalks. We are looking at options around this 👍👍👍
That chicken parmo looked lovely. Let me know next time you go away at the weekend for Bank Holiday and I'll stay at home and stay dry . Love to you all 😂😂😂
Love your dry humour😂.you just didn't care how wet you got.felt sorry for the dogs though,poor things.mybe 2 little water proof jackets,next time lol.im looking forward to your next bad weather blog,the wetter the better.it makes it much more intreasting. I'm in a good mood now❤
Wow, Stockton on Tees, what a smart town but where was everyone ? !! Our Poppers loved the Stockton Flyer, reminded us of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. What on earth, have never seen a ploughman's in a packet before ! Learn something with every time with you guys, thank you. Still raining here too.🌧❤
Hi. The Flyer was awesome and much better than we ever thought. Our dogs were a bit wary of it, it was loud 🤣🤣 Ploughman’s in a packet is the future 🤣👍 Hope you are all well up there xx
@@Stchristopherofatlantis All good ta, if a tad soggy ! If off to Northumberland soon, the below reminds us of a posh version of the Flyer !🤣thebowesmuseum.org.uk/collections/not-such-an-ugly-duckling/ Safe travels peeps. X
Paul Daniels was born in Southbank Middlesbrough, not Stockton. I know it's only a short distance away but they are very seperate areas. Either way, they're both absolute dumps :P It was probably a good thing that it was pissing down, kept most of the riff raff indoors during your visit.
Absolutely creased at the way they all looked at you when you went in pub 😂😂 What is it you use to hold you phone … seen it in the reflection b4 the brilliant late thing popped up 😂
Awe brilliant guys! You 2 are absolutely fabulous and funny 🤣 I thought I had dropped off at one point… 23:10 when I saw Helen from @bythecurb in her favourite habitat… A Charity Shop….😂 It was nice to see that you watch each others Vlogs 🫶🏼 They are another funny and genuine couple. Continue to keep exploring and I wish you all to continue to stay safe and happy and producing great content x👴🏻x
Hello. Glad you enjoy the videos, full of facts and info 🤣🤣🤣 Helen and James are great, and local to us of course. Have a great evening and thanks for watching ☀️👍
Leaving Morvich tomorrow for Loch Ness Shores.Morvich a nice small site set in a great location for walkers but not too close to any towns , seriously screwed up with planning on this trip.
Hi both what awful weather - More like Stock’gone’ on Tees - ghost town x best bit for me was Dora dragging herself on the beach - I do miss her and you guys - and Pablo too (but Dora as you know I fell in love with)
Wow, we real like White Water, it’s the first campsite I went to when we had the motorhome and we also went to it first with our campervan. It’s about 25 mins from us, I sometimes take Roxy for a walk from the barrage and over the Infinity bridge. If we had known you were there would have popped down and bought you a pint! (or a coffee or whatever!) 🍻 Knight Rider was great! The high street like so many used to be bustling, really sad what it’s become - in the 80’s/90’s the market was so busy. Shame about the weather. I used to love fish and chips from Barnacles opposite the coffee shop you were in. The Stockton Flyer is a bit different isn’t it! 😂. Those snack pack Ploughman’s Lunch are a bit different too! I got some from Makro (In Stockton ironically) on clearance - think they are new. Don’t even need to keep them in the fridge, great as emergency van snacks! Haven’t been to Seaton Carew for a few years! Rachel walks Roxy at the Gare quite often! Always disappointing when no dogs are allowed, seems to be in places distinctly dog friendly or not. Always find up the dales great. Chicken Parmo! Pleased you got one in the end! Lovely video - really enjoyed watching. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍
Hi David and Rachel, We loved the flyer, not sure what to expect initially and loved it. It was quite loud and it made the dogs jump but it was great! Chicken Parmo is the future 😍 Have a great week both x
Haway David, you gotta get on the channel for @backyardchef and have a bash at makin your own Parmo. Do you think they gonna get a shock when they find out all parmos are chicken 😍😍🤣🤣
@@Stchristopherofatlantis maybe because it was raining and they didnt want wet doggys in there. Our dogs always dictate where we go with the caravan as always look for dog friendly pubs nearby
Bless ‘em, Pabbers and Dora looked absolutely miserable in that pouring rain in Stockton 😢 I don’t think it’s a tourist hotspot that’s for sure 😂 Enjoyed the vlog though. Definitely something a bit different. I’m vegetarian but I must say that chicken parmo looked absolutely fantastic. I love anything smothered in melted cheese 😋😋
@@Stchristopherofatlantis All good here. Bored and sick of working but nothing that wouldn’t be solved by having a motorhome and sodding off to live like a gypsy 😂 Is there another Van Talk due or are you trying to save those for when the weather is worse 🙄😂 and you can’t get out so much? I feel like we’ve not had one for a while. Nikki x 👍
We live in a rain forest here but this summer so far we need rain i may have to do a rain dance unless you'd send some our way we depend on it to get our fish up the rivers 😀
This is your best work Claire. So convincing as the dumb blonde who knew nothing about the place they were visiting. Except for the Stockton Steamer which turned out to be the Stockton Flyer. Brilliant, bridges no clue, town or city no clue, points of interest no clue. Very convincing. 😂
So funny. Stockton, the best thing is the road out. They aren't a lover of visitors. They even built the barrage to stop the sea visiting 😂You missed fish and chips at Seaton and a walk in the Nuclear powered water where the dogs are banned along most of the best bit of the beach. Dont know how but you made the area look pretty good. Well done coz its pants and we head south to around Donny and HuMberside for a quick weekend getaway... ooops South Yorkshire we should have said 😂😂
Feeling a little insulted, unless I missed it you have covered the River Tees & been around the Tyne but no mention of the Wear & my home region Weardale. Apologies if you have mentioned it & I missed it.
Hey up u 2 love your vids it's Darrell ainsworth here up by Ozzy I just wondered did u get money back off your Montain goretex waterproof coat pal or just but a Berghaus lol.I got a Montane about same time as you and it pisses in lol 😂?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis I've been tried Rab and Berghaus on I like to look at reviews if spending a lot of money but there's no reception so I couldn't look.I tried about 3 Berghaus on from about 120 to 240 quid but still hadn't a clue so I've come out with a 160 quid credit note lol👍
Interesting fact , the big bridge with Roman numerals on , actually has bullet holes in it where it was strifed buy a German plane during the second world war ☺️ and Stockton on tees is definitely not a city lol , nearest one is Durham or Newcastle, why I managed 😂❤
@@Stchristopherofatlantis you also drove past my ex works on the right before crossing roundabout that goes into Seaton with all the steam coming out lol they make pigment 27 years man and boy lol 🤣, oh also my man lived in Seaton, old Hartlepool is very interesting otherwise know as the headland best fish and chips anywhere ☺️👍 really enjoyed this one , oh and l used to night fish off North gare only ever caught cold 😂😂❤️
Can I just say’ your channel is AWESOME, but””” the idea of a motorhome is! you go where the nice weather is👍 if it’s raining take your beautiful wife to pastures dry🍷😀👍 ps,, my wife said she’s cute. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing 😀
Aw guys, wish we knew you were visiting Seaton Carew. The place we have called home for 40 years. Fun fact, the notorious canoe man came from Seaton. He faked his own death and conspired with his wife to claim money off his insurance. Got caught 😂. Also we are known for being “monkey hangers”. Old tale from the wars with the French when a ship ran aground and one of the crew had a pet monkey and the people of hartlepool hadn’t seen a monkey before and thought it was a spy so they hung it 🙈. Apparently 😉. The light house you saw in the distance is old hartlepool. Headland as we call it. Has the oldest Saxon church in the country. Lots of history. So glad you payed us a visit. Welcome ❤. X
Hi Dianne, we loved Seaton and the beach was awesome for the dogs. After we had filmed we realised about the canoe man!! We watched it on TV, what a terrible story. We will return as there is lots to see around here and we enjoyed it Have a great week xx
my fav youtubers even made the rain bearable
Love to read this 👍👍☀️
Those birds were eider ducks . You stuff them into sheets to Make A eiderdown but take the beaks off first 😂

Fantastic comment and it so nice to read this. We hope we bump into you guys on the road one day
Have a fab day and we hope you continue to enjoy 😁☀️😁
Your faces when the Stockton flyer appeared were a picture, so funny 😂😂😂
We loved it really 👍👍
The anti-climax was palpable 😂😂😂
Hi Guy's,
Well, that one was different.
We visited there about 10 years ago, loved the site the area 😵.
We ventured into the town and encountered a fight and police 😮.
Never got into a pub too scared so headed back, it's a shame because it could be so nice.
As always loved your comedy twist on it all.
Poor dogs they looked frozen 😢.
Take care and enjoy as always 😊
Stay safe,
Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️
Good Morning
We fancied exploring a different area and the rain was off the chart for us!
Have a good week guys with plenty of laughs 🤣👍
Great video Andy and Claire, shame about the weather but hey it was a bank holiday 😂 so it should be expected. Some cracking funny bits right through this one that made me laugh out loud.

The bonus of the bad weather is it kept the smackheads indoors.

I love Claires facts. 😂 I feel like I've been back to school. Which bridge is this... one of the three 😂
I am a fact machine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
my home town ? the first bridge is the tees garage . there's also the millennium bridge.princess Diana bridge .and the Queen Victoria bridge
Whitewater is an excellent site, 10 min walk to Asda or a large Retail Park with restaurants. Dog friendly pub serving food 1 minute away. Tees Barrage 5 mins where you can often see seals. Lovely beach at Seaton, home of the famous Canoe Man TV Drama.
I’m so glad you had a parmo, but sadly you missed the best fish and chips in the world at The Almighty Cod. Hartlepool Marina is a fascinating place too
Stockton town centre looked glum on a rainy day, its equally glum on a nice day.
Thanks for visiting Stockton, hope you come back

…. Tell me about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aww guys, you were only a few hundred yards away from our house on Hartlepool Marina. If you'd kept on walking down the prom onto the Marina, there's loads of places you could have taken the doggies into :)
Nice vid, we enjoyed it.
Hi. How are you?
We will head back to Hartlepool for another video, we ran out of time. The beach at Seaton Carew was great 👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis yeah it’s an amazing beach, right in front of our house. We are very lucky.

Seaton Carew is famous for the "Canoe Man" if you're not familiar with the story, the ITV drama is still available to view on ITVX.
Hello. Yes we missed this at the time but have since watched it. Amazing story!
When do we OAPs get the Summer Fuel Allowance ?

Just catching up on your vids. I really enjoy your humour and how you edit with music etc. A bit grim there 😅
It was very wet! 😂😂
Missing your van talks 🥳 will they be back? Your vids are so funny though, you have us in hysterics 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi. We have been focusing on 1 main video a week due to work commitments.
We are looking at ideas around VanTalk though!!

We never ended up working it out!!!
Would Archie have liked the rain? 🐾
Hope you guys are well xx
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Archie would've been fine to begin with but after awhile he would've been fed up just like Dora & Pablo. We walk him twice daily morning and afternoon what ever the weather, that's the beauty of living in the countryside & being Archie is a Working Cocker spaniel he's in & out of the streams & ditches always foraging for the pheasants. I'm currently in WSM having the electrical box changed out at the supplying dealership.
Hi guys and woofers thanks I enjoyed that felt very British in the rain 😂xx 👍
Hi thanks for watching 👍👍👍☀️
What's happened to the competition winners weekend meet up? Have we missed it?
That’s next week’s episode. We are running a few weeks in front
It was a totally fab fab weekend !!
Ah OK cool. We're looking forward to it.
We will do another one… hope you guys can make it, esp Dolby!!
@Stchristopherofatlantis Yes, we would definitely be up for that. Will have to pop into go outdoors first and get matching rain coats 😃 😀
Was that Stockton ghost town…?😮
Isn’t there a brick built train near by, I’m sure it’s near Stockton, we went there about 30 odd years ago.
Keep it up. Love it.
Sorry, the train is in Darlington! It is actually near there…👍
Stay safe. Enjoy.
Hi. Yes it was very quiet but of course the rain was bad and probably put people off venturing out
Glad you enjoyed 👍😍
Kudos to ya both for sticking with it despite the horrendous weather. James n Helen would have turned that into a pub crawl 😂😂.
I love the subtle Yorkshire humour and the 3 words were crackin’ this week 😂
I was ready to turn back and go home!!
We will do some more 3 words 🤣🤣
Thanks for watching 👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Glad ya dint. Some great places to visit up north. Love seeing these places 👍
@Stchristopherofatlantis sorry. James and Helen do not come up to your professionalism. You don't judge. You are not rude to children being present at educational centres. Don't live for pubs, fish and chips,etc. Was funny at first but boring now. AND he dissed my home town. Edinburgh. No you can't comment. But stay true
Know
@@MargaretWood-z6l I only referred to bythecurb because they were featured in this vlog. I suggest if they upset you that much don’t watch their channel.
As for being offended by what people say about your hometown….maybe RUclips is not the best place for your entertainment. 🤔
I don’t know personally any of these people. Just willing to support anyone who is trying to make a living by giving up there time to entertain us 🤷🏼♂️
Dedication to the cause - Fun facts and dedication as well - Oh and the coffee cup giggles too Claire 😂 - The jokes are back - great video - Hope the “gear” survived 😀👍
Hi. Teaming with facts as usual 🤣👍
How are you?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Great thanks - just waiting for our day of summer 😂😂 - You always look like you have a great laugh (except getting soaked 👎😀 Hope you are both keeping well 👍
We were super drenched 😬😬😬
Great video as usual 😊
Hi Bob, thank you x
Chuckled at the what three words glad you've brought it back.
What has happened to Van Talk ??
Hi Brian. The 3 words are corkers!
We are currently focusing on just 1 video a week, we are both still working full time and work is not allowing us enough time to do all the VanTalks. We are looking at options around this 👍👍👍
We had a couple of Cavalier King Charles, and one would divert just to walk through any muddy puddle 🤣🤣
Great video rubbish weather, you make the most of it and show share your travels with us, love seeing these towns ,pups are loving the beach 🤣
Hi Graham. Thanks for watching
Hope you are busy travelling 🚐
Its been chucking it down for 12 months solid !!! Grim, Grim little country . Take a month off and go to the south of France !!
Oh yeaahhhhhhhhh we would like that actually so working on it 🤣🤣🚐☀️
That chicken parmo looked lovely. Let me know next time you go away at the weekend for Bank Holiday and I'll stay at home and stay dry . Love to you all 😂😂😂
Haha love this!! 🤣🤣
I enjoyed watching this especially from the side of the pool with a pint of Coors in Salou Spain 28 degrees thanuz 👍🏻😂
Now we are jealous 🤣🤣👍
sorry the caravan park at Stockton . also the mach was invented in Stockton. . John walker. . thanks for the vid.
Hi 👋
Love your dry humour😂.you just didn't care how wet you got.felt sorry for the dogs though,poor things.mybe 2 little water proof jackets,next time lol.im looking forward to your next bad weather blog,the wetter the better.it makes it much more intreasting. I'm in a good mood now❤
Love to hear you are in a great mood 👍☀️
Like how when you walked in pub all locals stopped and looked, bit like scene from American werewolf in london 😂
🐺 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, Stockton on Tees, what a smart town but where was everyone ? !! Our Poppers loved the Stockton Flyer, reminded us of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. What on earth, have never seen a ploughman's in a packet before ! Learn something with every time with you guys, thank you. Still raining here too.🌧❤
Hi. The Flyer was awesome and much better than we ever thought. Our dogs were a bit wary of it, it was loud 🤣🤣
Ploughman’s in a packet is the future 🤣👍 Hope you are all well up there xx
@@Stchristopherofatlantis All good ta, if a tad soggy ! If off to Northumberland soon, the below reminds us of a posh version of the Flyer !🤣thebowesmuseum.org.uk/collections/not-such-an-ugly-duckling/
Safe travels peeps. X
@@Stchristopherofatlantis All good ta, if a tad soggy ! Safe travels & keep these fabulous vlogs coming, we so enjoy them. X
Sorry for duplicate reply, first one didn't appear at first, thought because of link. X
Paul Daniels was born in Southbank Middlesbrough, not Stockton. I know it's only a short distance away but they are very seperate areas. Either way, they're both absolute dumps :P It was probably a good thing that it was pissing down, kept most of the riff raff indoors during your visit.
👍👍👍
Another top vlog be nice to see you2 meet up with by the curb for a shindig
Hey, thanks for watching. Can’t beat a shindig 🤣
Great content as usual, do either of you have a background in comedy??
No we just make it all up as we go along and hope for the best!! 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely creased at the way they all looked at you when you went in pub 😂😂
What is it you use to hold you phone … seen it in the reflection b4 the brilliant late thing popped up 😂
Hi. Glad you laughed!! 🤣🤣
Do you mean our iPhone gimble? It steadies the shot and we really like it when walking around
Yeah lol.. need 1, and I love both of your sense of humour…
I just peed myself when that rose up and played a tune
🤣🤣🤣 it was loud!!!
Awe brilliant guys! You 2 are absolutely fabulous and funny 🤣
I thought I had dropped off at one point… 23:10 when I saw Helen from @bythecurb in her favourite habitat… A Charity Shop….😂
It was nice to see that you watch each others Vlogs 🫶🏼
They are another funny and genuine couple.
Continue to keep exploring and I wish you all to continue to stay safe and happy and producing great content x👴🏻x
Hello. Glad you enjoy the videos, full of facts and info 🤣🤣🤣
Helen and James are great, and local to us of course.
Have a great evening and thanks for watching ☀️👍
Watching your video on one of the few dry days we have had here in Scotland , I feel your pain.
We wish we were in Scotland 🏴 ❤️
We have been in Scotland all week now Northumberland weather better but the weather was good really
Leaving Morvich tomorrow for Loch Ness Shores.Morvich a nice small site set in a great location for walkers but not too close to any towns , seriously screwed up with planning on this trip.
Look out for Nessie 🤣
Great video thank you
Hi glad you enjoyed it 👍👍👍☀️
Glad to see what 3 words again, great vlogg, why dont you get waterproof jackets for the dogs x
Hi yes we forgot them 😟🐾
Hope you are well
Actually we have COVID first time In four years x
@suefromstoke4076 sending our best wishes
Sorry, but Paul Daniels was from South Bank Middlesbrough... I have not seen it all yet... but Ridley Scott?
😁😁
Hi both what awful weather - More like Stock’gone’ on Tees - ghost town x best bit for me was Dora dragging herself on the beach - I do miss her and you guys - and Pablo too (but Dora as you know I fell in love with)
Hi Rob,
Dora wasn’t a fan of the rain at all. She says woof she misses you back! 🐾
Hope you have a great evening
@@Stchristopherofatlantis 😘😘😘😘
Nice on Arran just now...
Sunny and warm...
Oooosh sounds glorious ☀️☀️☀️
Wow, we real like White Water, it’s the first campsite I went to when we had the motorhome and we also went to it first with our campervan. It’s about 25 mins from us, I sometimes take Roxy for a walk from the barrage and over the Infinity bridge. If we had known you were there would have popped down and bought you a pint! (or a coffee or whatever!) 🍻
Knight Rider was great! The high street like so many used to be bustling, really sad what it’s become - in the 80’s/90’s the market was so busy.
Shame about the weather. I used to love fish and chips from Barnacles opposite the coffee shop you were in.
The Stockton Flyer is a bit different isn’t it! 😂. Those snack pack Ploughman’s Lunch are a bit different too! I got some from Makro (In Stockton ironically) on clearance - think they are new. Don’t even need to keep them in the fridge, great as emergency van snacks!
Haven’t been to Seaton Carew for a few years! Rachel walks Roxy at the Gare quite often!
Always disappointing when no dogs are allowed, seems to be in places distinctly dog friendly or not. Always find up the dales great.
Chicken Parmo! Pleased you got one in the end!
Lovely video - really enjoyed watching.
All the very best, David & Rachel 👍
Hi David and Rachel,
We loved the flyer, not sure what to expect initially and loved it. It was quite loud and it made the dogs jump but it was great!
Chicken Parmo is the future 😍
Have a great week both x
Haway David, you gotta get on the channel for @backyardchef and have a bash at makin your own Parmo. Do you think they gonna get a shock when they find out all parmos are chicken 😍😍🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely enjoy you two. So down to earth. Where are you from
Beautiful Barnsley 🤣🤣🤣👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis do you still use "cocker" as a form of endearment?
Yes it’s terribly hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
@@Stchristopherofatlantis thank you. Brought precious memories.
We've been here several times and loved it as its quite reasonable. Not been for a while but you used to be able to take dogs into the pub.
Hi. Wonder why the change?
Thanks for watching 👍🐺
@@Stchristopherofatlantis maybe because it was raining and they didnt want wet doggys in there. Our dogs always dictate where we go with the caravan as always look for dog friendly pubs nearby
Bless ‘em, Pabbers and Dora looked absolutely miserable in that pouring rain in Stockton 😢 I don’t think it’s a tourist hotspot that’s for sure 😂
Enjoyed the vlog though. Definitely something a bit different. I’m vegetarian but I must say that chicken parmo looked absolutely fantastic. I love anything smothered in melted cheese 😋😋
We agree, cheesier the better!!
How are you?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis All good here. Bored and sick of working but nothing that wouldn’t be solved by having a motorhome and sodding off to live like a gypsy 😂
Is there another Van Talk due or are you trying to save those for when the weather is worse 🙄😂 and you can’t get out so much? I feel like we’ve not had one for a while. Nikki x 👍
@Remonyyork We haven’t done a VanTalk for ages, basically time constraints so been focusing on a main video. We are making some plans
We live in a rain forest here but this summer so far we need rain i may have to do a rain dance unless you'd send some our way we depend on it to get our fish up the rivers 😀
We are sending you some rain 🌧️ 🤣
@@Stchristopherofatlantis thank you hah
This is your best work Claire. So convincing as the dumb blonde who knew nothing about the place they were visiting. Except for the Stockton Steamer which turned out to be the Stockton Flyer. Brilliant, bridges no clue, town or city no clue, points of interest no clue. Very convincing. 😂
🤪🤪 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️😂
Our daughter lives in Stockton ...this is pretty much it for Stockton lol
Hi
So funny. Stockton, the best thing is the road out. They aren't a lover of visitors. They even built the barrage to stop the sea visiting 😂You missed fish and chips at Seaton and a walk in the Nuclear powered water where the dogs are banned along most of the best bit of the beach. Dont know how but you made the area look pretty good. Well done coz its pants and we head south to around Donny and HuMberside for a quick weekend getaway... ooops South Yorkshire we should have said 😂😂
Hi, Glad you liked it and laughed 🤣
Beautiful Donny 😍
Thanks so much for watching 👍 Have a great day
Coffeemakers. How rude are you
Ive stayed there before. Six miles from where i live.
Hi John. Fab site 👍👍🚐
Feeling a little insulted, unless I missed it you have covered the River Tees & been around the Tyne but no mention of the Wear & my home region Weardale. Apologies if you have mentioned it & I missed it.
Hi. We ran out of time on this occasion. I have been looking at locations there this week! We have to fit as much in as we can in on a weekend 👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis just my idea of humour!
Oooops thought you meant it
We are heading up though…. I’ve got some places booked!! 🚐
That's a proper posh lunch,where were the candles 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍😎
Those in the know
ask for a half parmo
but then again
that's less value for thisen.
Great vlog!
It was delicious
Hey up u 2 love your vids it's Darrell ainsworth here up by Ozzy I just wondered did u get money back off your Montain goretex waterproof coat pal or just but a Berghaus lol.I got a Montane about same time as you and it pisses in lol 😂?
Hi Darrell, How are you?
Yeah no questions asked, they just swapped it. The Berghaus coats are fab, we were bone dry 👍👍👍👍
Am ok pal think mine is over a yr old tho so might not get money back but will try cheers ps keep the vids coming I love them 👍
Did you get yours from go outdoors ?
Yes that’s right 👍👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis I've been tried Rab and Berghaus on I like to look at reviews if spending a lot of money but there's no reception so I couldn't look.I tried about 3 Berghaus on from about 120 to 240 quid but still hadn't a clue so I've come out with a 160 quid credit note lol👍
Interesting fact , the big bridge with Roman numerals on , actually has bullet holes in it where it was strifed buy a German plane during the second world war ☺️ and Stockton on tees is definitely not a city lol , nearest one is Durham or Newcastle, why I managed 😂❤
Hi Mike, Love this fact. Thank you for watching and sharing this with us
@@Stchristopherofatlantis you also drove past my ex works on the right before crossing roundabout that goes into Seaton with all the steam coming out lol they make pigment 27 years man and boy lol 🤣, oh also my man lived in Seaton, old Hartlepool is very interesting otherwise know as the headland best fish and chips anywhere ☺️👍 really enjoyed this one , oh and l used to night fish off North gare only ever caught cold 😂😂❤️
@mikefennelly3310 watch this space… Hartlepool headland coming soon…….!!!
"The Royal Oak"...more like The Slaughtered Lamb... good stuff
🤣🤣🤣
Not sure that town will make my bucket list.. 🤣
Hellooooo 👋👋👋
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Hope you guys are all ok
Thought some Marty Pellow for background music lol
Wet wet wet 🤣🤣🤣
"There's nobody here" - welcome to Stockton !
Thanks for watching
2025 is the 150th anniversary of stockton to Darlington railway
Can I just say’ your channel is AWESOME, but””” the idea of a motorhome is! you go where the nice weather is👍 if it’s raining take your beautiful wife to pastures dry🍷😀👍 ps,, my wife said she’s cute. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing 😀
Hello. Thank you for your kind comment and for watching
What brand are your brown walking shoes Claire? Are they barefoot ones?
Hi Lisa. Hmmm not sure let me go find out and come back to you…
Wtfeck was that for real? That poppy up horrendous music thingy! 😆
It’s the Stockton steamer, I mean flyer
You can just see the tumble weed rolling down the street.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Yes, almost said that myself.🤣
Aw guys, wish we knew you were visiting Seaton Carew. The place we have called home for 40 years. Fun fact, the notorious canoe man came from Seaton. He faked his own death and conspired with his wife to claim money off his insurance. Got caught 😂. Also we are known for being “monkey hangers”. Old tale from the wars with the French when a ship ran aground and one of the crew had a pet monkey and the people of hartlepool hadn’t seen a monkey before and thought it was a spy so they hung it 🙈. Apparently 😉. The light house you saw in the distance is old hartlepool. Headland as we call it. Has the oldest Saxon church in the country. Lots of history. So glad you payed us a visit. Welcome ❤. X
Great vlog once again 👏👏
Hi Dianne, we loved Seaton and the beach was awesome for the dogs. After we had filmed we realised about the canoe man!! We watched it on TV, what a terrible story.
We will return as there is lots to see around here and we enjoyed it
Have a great week xx
Yes heard that story. Told my son. He couldn't stop laughing
love your vlog
Hello. Love to read this ❤️❤️😍👍
You would enjoy Northumberland
We’ve got it booked!!!!!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis For a similar experience to this vid, visit Blyth or Ashington in Northumberland 😂
Bet you they still say we have a water shortage!
😂😂👍
How ENGLISH!!!!! LOVE IT!!
Thanks for watching 😎
Dora was dying to go in that Dixy fried chicken shop
She would eat it all as well 🤣🤣
