Scotland is amazing. I’ve traveled right up to John O Groats, up one side and down the other on the coastal roads, in a car and caravan. It’s a myth that it’s freezing all the time. No it’s not the best weather in January-March, but after that it’s wonderful. In summer it hardly gets dark and I remember my mum reading in the middle of the night with no light on and the views are spectacular. Then you’d do a road trip to Lands End to see the other end of Britain and compare. I have such lovely memories of holidays in our caravan as a child with my parents, visiting places I’ll never forget.
I’m Glaswegian and my family live in England and I can honestly say Scotland is no colder than parts of England 😅 I think the higher north you go in the winter the colder it gets , but normally it’s just as cold as anywhere in uk .. 😘😘
Dont take any notice of nick lol. We will definitely be going to Scotland at some point in the van. I cant wait. Leigh
Great plans, I love your travels. You visit lots of lovely places- saves me going! 🤣 Oh and Nick Scotland is cold but lots of lovely places to see. 😜 Xx
Hi guys still trying to get caught up 😱😱. Just watch this vlog heard you say about Jackson Hole well we just had a 7 week road trip round west coast then did Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone Park and stayed in Jackson Hole it was amazing place you would love it the scenery is amazing. Please feel free to contact us if you want to see any photos etc Yellowstone was amazing wild animals as well!!!
Nicholas sweetheart you're from Yorkshire not the Bahamas stop crying about this myth Scotland is too cold. U could go to fort William get the hogwarts express across the Glenfinnan viaduct & see where hogwarts was meant to be. Now how can u deny sweet leigh that joy. 😁
There is nothing wrong with having a social drink or even getting tipsy the problem is when people drink every day and can’t cope without it. Don’t punish yourself over having g a drink when with fiends
👍💖
We are like you…..love Florida with or without the parks…..👍❤️
Could easily see us going without park tickets some day
Bonnie Scotland is waiting on you guys 👍🤗♥️ love you both xx
We will be up one day for sure ! ☀️😎
What a year 2024...Loving it. Can you say in Yr next vlog approx when you will be planning South of France going into Spain? That is my area..😊
BTW...I watched a film on Disney called The Journey...80s movie...Nick you look just like a Very Young John Cusack. You are both Peter Pan Boys. Lee, you look Beautiful, I don't think you need to lose a pound. Hugs guys. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yaayyy!! Leigh come to Scotland!! I've mentioned before about NC500....an amazing trip with Taylor! 🏴
Ireland, go to Ballycotton and visit Ballymaloe. Shetland, put the van on the Northlink ferry and get a cabin on ferry, You can also take the ferry from UK to Rotterdam. Vera is coming, how nice.
Scotland can have beautiful weather in April and May, and okay, I may be biased 😊 but we have a gorgeous country 🏴❤. Hope to see you here soon.
Awww Nick I'm sad that you don't want to visit Scotland but hopefully one day you will change your mind, I always enjoy your travel vlogs wherever you go though, I love seeing new places through your eyes.
We managed to get the Paramount tv on the deal too,we are watching yellowstone just now,it's so good. 💙💙 xx
If you go to the south of Holland there is a town called valkenburg near Maastricht, and Leigh you can buy cloggies (slippers shaped as clogs)
Just trying to catch up on all the vlogs as we were in Florida for 6 weeks. We very rarely go to the parks now unless we have people coming over to join us, and use our villa as a base to travel. There is so much more to see and do so thanks Leigh for mentioning. As for the UK you need to go to Anglesey in the van. The beaches are amazing. Keep up the wonderful vlogs. 😊
Hey guys, what is the link for that Jackson, Wyoming webcam you mentioned you used to watch with your mom? Thanks.
When we did caravaning, my wife would do all the inside stuff, packing up and securing the interior, my job the exterior, walk around the vehicle, pack up waste and water, disconnect power, raise the legs, then walk around again and look under for anything we put under there, then walk around again so 20 feet away to check the roof so we could see if any top hatches were open, bit of a pain but it ensures all is OK before driving off, I think you can download a check list of the caravan club site.
We’ve been to Florida several times now without park tickets and love it. We still go to Disney Springs and book a meal at a Disney resort to get our Disney fix. And we will do an after hours event if one is running. But other than that we just explore different bits of Florida.
Thanks for Explaining your plans you two your plans sounds good What do the Council do around the Lodge while you at Apartment I can't can't understand there reasons why they wont let you stay ???? So looking to your travels stay safe guys till next time David x
If you can go to Paris in the freezing cold, you can come to Scotland lol, lots of exploring to do in Scotland 😊
exactly! We will definitely be going up in the van at some point !
If you do decide to go to Haverfordwest , ask them to take you to st.David’s which is 15 miles from Haverfordwest , it’s Great Britain’s smallest city , which has a magnificent cathedral there , and amazing beaches and stunning coast paths
I'm surprised I didn't bump into you both I was there over Christmas and New years day was beautiful but like you said it was packed wish I had seen you both.
If you want local then either South Cliffe at Brid or the White Cottage just outside Hornsea
I planning florida 2025 now as clearing all small bills by summer 2024 so Florida next year onwards I have money for more holidays from end of 2024. As I have spare money so may book Florida later on at the from November 2024 for 2025. I going to Spain in 4 weeks to Alicante cannot wait in February, I will visit Benidorm .
Hopefully should be lovely weather for you in Alicante. Did you see our videos when we went there a few years ago ?
Scotland is great nick
We will definitely be there at some point !
Was 80 today in Orlando 1/12 lol so yes has been chilly but we are seeing some heat lol just saying lol
I laughed out loud at Nick ‘sorting’ his stuff. The room was trashed. 😂. Always gets worse before it gets better.😅
Nick you are funny, Jackson hole, Wyoming is colder than Scotland, at the mow it's -10 🥶🥶
we won't be doing Jackson in the van :)
I know you will love Jackson, Wyoming. Jan will be very cold and snowy, ski season. We visited Jackson and Yellowstone several times and really loved it. My husband was Air Force, so we also lived in Tacoma, Washington. I loved going to Seattle and Portland, but the very best is to take the ferry boat from Wash up to Canada. Very beautiful there.
Love seeing the real life vlogs at home or on travel! It’s still escapism for me. Looking forward to your 2024 adventures xxx
Thank you for watching 💖
We have a large American caravan. Husband does all the outside set up/take down and I do all the inside stuff. We have a natural order of doing things so we arent bothering each other with "have you done this" questions and are responsible for our areas (checklist is now in our heads). Now its a quick process. We also carry a tool box with extra stuff in. Our first trip out with the brand new camper and all the electrics failed (we were in the middle of nowhere Alaska)
Nick uou and Leigh are so funny, Nick such a control freak.
I’m looking forward to the van videos there going to be amazing ❤x
If you go back to homefirth I surprised you not met up the the slaw adventures who are on RUclips they are travel bloggers and they live in homefirth, also I surprised you not taking an air fryer in the van as well you can get a jackery for extra power.
One day we may get a small air fryer for it but they use a lot of power. Will see how we go
What happened to the beans on toast ! I was so waiting to see it after the build-up 😂
Clickbait 😂
Would love to see you guys do the NC500 route in Scotland
I'm in Seattle! It's so fun to hear that you're thinking of coming to this part of the country! I'm not sure that I would put January at the top of my favorite months to visit list. It's currently 24 degrees Fahrenheit (-4.44 Celsius). 24 isn't average, but it's not unheard of...For perfect weather, July is best, then probably May (still a few rainy days, but beautiful) or August (if we don't end up with smoke from wildfires). Fall can be really nice as well. Hope this doesn't put you off the idea of coming here, but I'd love to see you have the best experience. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Happy New Year!
Thanks for the weather tips. Still not 100% sure when it will be yet
The NC500 route looks amazing, you guys should put that on your list when it warms up a little x
Definitely!!
You will always make fabulous vlogs ❤️
Best Wishes for a brilliant year! ❤
You will love Seattle Astoria and Cannon beach down the Oregon coast
💖👍
Anything in 2024 with the nieces?
Wherever you two go or whatever you do, it’s great that you let us join you via your vlogs etc, thank you and I hope all your 2024 adventures go well and you keep safe 😊
Leigh I don’t see you have put a stone on at allll!!! You look lovely as always! 😊. I don’t see Nick has put on either but totally understand the concern. I have put on half a stone and definitely notice it…. The good thing is, no one else seems to notice at all!!!😊 xoxox
I think its always the individual themselves who notices when they put weight on. Everyone has their ideal weight and they know when they have gone over it. No one else notices
@@TheLodgeGuys yes you’re right - I hope to lose what I’ve put on, I just feel better in myself when I’m about half a stone less!!
Just booked Florida for June using my companion voucher and points for the other flights, not doing the parks just Disney springs and city walk.
Hi guys. You can buy battery chargers that also recondition your battery. It maybe a worth while purchase for you. Just an Idea 😊
we have one it didn't work over time it lost it's voltage
@@TheLodgeGuys AHH bottoms!! I know my dad's got one and it works well I'll try and find out which one it is and let you know. I fear you may have this issue most years depending on how much you use her. Love the vids btw 😁
Cheers Guys. All sounds exciting and looking forward to watching your new adventures. Take care ❤
My hubby worked in Wyoming for years and February is ffffffrigid cold with the possibility of a ton of snow. I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention that a February road trip from WA to WY could be problematic. Even right now we are in the Midwest with blizzards, heavy snow and temps considered incompatible with life. My advice to you is visit Jackson any other time than winter, you’ll enjoy it so much more. If you ever make it further north and fancy an Alaskan Log Cabin holiday just let us know ! (It’s our Airbnb property, you’d have it all to yourselves)
Beware, Starlink is locked to a regional 'square' unfortunately, there are travelling versions but they are designed for commercial use like ferries/cruise ships - obscenely expensive.
Jason.
I live in North Wales and we go to Wetherspoons in Mold and Chicken Curry. Love there Food, and the Prices of the Beer.
You have probably checked this out, but there are a few ready to go checklist apps for setting up/ breaking down your camper
Good tip bazza. Will have a look for them
I'm looking forward to some West Yorkshire stuff. I'm a Lancashire lad myself but West Yorkshire is where my heart is.
Please don't give up the parks completely. Found your channel years ago with your Disney/Universal trips and your pure excitement and appreciation of everything is so refreshing. It's nice to see the perspective of a vlogger at Disney instead of Disney Vlogger. Excited for you on your 2024 plans.
oh wow, Haverfordwest 10 Miles from me...... Have you done Pembrokeshire before its Perfect for the Van?
Holland, you should really go visit the Efteling, it's on par with Disney. There is even a rumour that Walt Disney went there to get inspiration for Disneyland CA.
I have Starlink in Canada as we live rural , we have had it over a year and had no problems at all! It is pretty pricey I pay $165 a month and you have to buy the equipment too which was $800 up front!
You don’t know what you’re missing not coming up to Scotland Nick 😢but thanks for everything you share with us. All the best for 2024🎉
I'm with Leighbon the explore Florida thing. We've not done parks since 2015. Love the beaches and exploring the state. Disney has changed. All about the money and making you stick your nose in your phone. Not my idea of a holiday. X
Your starting issues seem more like weak glow plugs than a battery issue to me.
it's the battery when it drops to 11v it takes a while to start when it stops to 9v it won't start at all, we were doing a test at the min to see if we need a new battery
Really looking forward to your van travel vlogs. I must say I hate the Disney stuff but love all your other travel videos.
You should do the north coast 500, you will be blown away, white sands and turquoise waters of Achmelvich beach and of course the most beautiful scenery you will ever see.
Wow! Wyoming sounds awesome.....can't wait for that trip. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. I love watching you guys❤😊
Noticed you guys have a Rituals Car air freshner! If you havent already, thoroughly recommend the ‘life is a journey’ orange & cedarwood scent!🤞🏼
Come to Scotland guys it will give the van a proper test. Your vlogs are great fun to watch and you guys are so good together. My kids liken me to you Nick and my wife to Lee lol. All the best for 2024.
If you are flying to Seattle then you have to take a side trip (quick 3 hour flight) up to Alaska. Its absolutely stunning. We would be happy to show you around in 2025 (not Jan 2024 because Im escaping the snow here in Anchorage and heading to home in Leeds next week where I hear theres a snow storm about to happen :( )
We r going Orlando this year ….first time going without getting Disney tickets ,used the money for a 6 cruise while there x felt it was to expensive and lost its magic Disney x gatlinburg Tennessee lovely to visit x
I went to Paris in February once and it was freezing, I’d pack your thermals!
We have done Florida for 20 years and hardly ever did Disney. There is so much more to do and see and we didn’t miss it at all. We would just do the water parks on a rest day as kids loved it and we had lots of fun. We always stayed in an apartment or villa so that we had a pool as well. Our last trip was 2020 but it was cancelled just before lockdown and haven’t been back since. Really miss it but we have been going to Europe and having more little holidays throughout the year instead.
When I went to Disney Land Paris one February it snowed the whole time. I'm with Leigh...thermals needed xx
Don't see hanna and mark anymore,have I missed anything?
We saw them in November. They live 6 hours away so we can't see them all the time 👍
Can you get auto-eject sockets for the van? Just a thought as we have them on the ambulances at work (as obviously they get driven off all the time and forgotten!!) so they auto-eject
Do you guy still see handsome Chris, and Jen I haven't heard you speak of him lately,,,always love the vlogs
Love Yorkshire, looking forward to your walks, think I'm due another visit to Piece Hall. Love it 😀
Exciting times for you and the channel guys. Completely agree in regards to Disney parks, much more to Florida than the parks. My favourite vids of last year was your New York ones, I’d love for you to visit there again, best @ Xmas time!
Looking forward to all your new Adventures showing us all the new places and scenery love watching
When you go to Jackson Hole you have to go to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national park.
Great video. I don't think you wanna go to Wyoming in the winter time because they get massive amounts of snow.
Sounds like a great year ahead, enjoy! And thanks for taking us along! Love your vlogs!
When you need to use a caravan site locally, my family own an adult only “tranquil park “ at Brandesburton. Get in touch and we will gladly put you up to try out your van .😊 Caroline x
Nick, which Jackson hole, WY webcam do you watch?
No matter what y'all do with the channel we will be tuning in. Y'all are truly fun to watch and we've enjoyed every vlog. We enjoy traveling along on your travels throughout the world, cooking at the lodge, seeing your family, and meeting your friends. Here's to a fantastic 2024
Thank you so much 🤗
Wow how exciting cant wait to see all your planned ( And not 😂) Adventures this coming year ps Leigh thats the strangest beans on toast ive ever seen 😂😂😮😮😅😊
We went to Pym kitchen its my favourite eat out, the food is a buffet style but great fun, giant pretzel, very science theme. try the marvel bar too cocktails are lush in hotel new york & you see ironman flying across the screen above the length of the bar, loved it 👌 definitely worth a few drinks in 👌
We rest a little warning sign on the dash to tell us our camper is plugged in. We had a few close calls before doing that 👍
Thats a good idea
Lol guys we all make mistakes hope 2024 is great for yah have fun
When you go to Seattle you should stop by my family we live just 80 miles south love to meet you and take you out for dinner
Re: Seattle/Wyoming trip in February -please research the weather for that part of the U.S that time of the year
I'm with Leigh get the thermals ready. Have friends who stay in Jersey and they got snow, maybe not much but enough to cause chaos because most of the locals never see snow let alone drive in it
Today in Epcot for the Art Festival, it reached 79, may have set a record?
Cant wait for the van vlogs - Malham Cove is stunning guys for an overnight stay & theres a waterfall as well
Hi guys, When starting the van wait twice for glow plug light. So basically let the little coil light go out then knock the ignition off then switch back on again until lights go out again. This will then warm up the glow plugs and will start easier it’s quite common for diesels to struggle a little when colder.
Don’t be so negative about Scotland, you’re really missing out, it’s not Siberia, we do have lovely weather and it doesn’t rain all the time, that’s not true. So much beautiful scenery, and please venture further than Glasgow or Edinburgh, there is life further north, in fact the city of Inverness is a great place to stay and use as a base to travel in all directions, plus beautiful Loch Ness, i can vouch for that. Could show you around if you wish ❤️🤗🏴
Dont take any notice of nick lol. We will definitely be going to Scotland at some point in the van. I cant wait. Leigh
Sounds like you have lots of plans,how exciting!if Nick says he wants warmth,Seattle & Wyoming in Feb,would be very cold & snowy,just saying!!Be nice to show Vera around also….🇨🇦
💖💖
Sounds like lots of exciting things to look forward to in 2024 ❤ xx
The tent you see on the beach, when you are on your travels you could put the portable loo in as your cubicle for using the loo
Make a laminated checklist and you can stick it and a dry erase marker on the inside of one of of the cabinets for quick access
We live in Scotland, the weather's been warmer up here than down south for the past 2 weeks. The North Coast 500 would be worth looking into for your van journey. We'll stick the kettle on if your passing us 😂
We will definitely be doing Scotland at some point !
Look forward to another year of excellent vlogs! Thanks guys 🙏
We’re on our 4th motorhome. After years of experience, we know how easy it is to forget something. - we’ve done some howlers in our tIme. So I do the inside checks. My husband does the outside ones. We never interfere with each other’s allotted tasks. But before driving so much as an inch, together we verbally run through the critical (AKA potentially expensive) checks - hook up lead, roof hatches, ramps and garage door locks. All other possible oversights are low risk and easily resolved en route. With crash detection sensors, we no longer turn the gas off for every journey. Hope this helps.
We will be doing that too. Hopefully we wont make the cable mistake again now we have done it once
You aren't the first to forget to disconnect the hook up cable, and you won't be the last! I was pulling off a fully serviced pitch when there was an almighty bang! Jumped out (well, much as a 70 year old can!) to find that I'd pulled the cable out of the post, fortunately it didn't damage the post and it had stayed connected to the van socket - phew! We do have checklists, it's just a matter of remembering to look at them!
We need to write a checklist (and laminate it ! 😂)
