@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures It’s a very popular place for campers sometimes there can be half a dozen vans parked there over night, I’m sure it’s a small minority that are disrespectful but give others bad reputation. It’s also popular with surfers although I wouldn’t like to carry a surf board down there. You picked a good couple of days/evening . I noticed your opening intro and recognised the terrain found the related video last night. Have you tried Ravenscar? It has a big car park and some nice views.
Can you park overnight at Ravenscar? We’re thinking of driving over to the East Coast for an overnight tomorrow. Happy to do cheapy campsite with the tent, or car camp near the sea 🙂
so we're on the final decent to owning our VW T6.1. Due to arrive end Feb ... thought you might be interested to know we're calling the van Colin! as you guys kinda inspired us to take the next step and can't wait for our first trip! .. Looks like it will be the lakes in March or early April. :)
Those fish and chips looked gorgeous - just fancy them myself……… I didn’t even know Scarborough had a castle ….. great park up! A smile goes a long way. Lovely photos as usual. Branston looks in fantastic condition - lovely shiny coat and he’s not overweight like a lot of labs! Thanks for another great video. 💕🐾
Another great little video ,been a yorkshire lass down in Perrenporth, Cornwall,drip fed on rattler ,I know exactly where you are as use the spot when I go back up as nice & peaceful,stumbled across it & have a little book i get hubby to log all my best sites in so I don't forget.. Love the sea view & peace at that location ,see plenty of them & similar sunsets at my present locality.. Nice editing ,Looking forward to you getting to grips with the drone as thinking of getting one.. Branstons a real sweetie,ours loves his dubventures.. Good luck hoovering them feathers up,take you forever but you can't beat a clean van.👍
Great video..I'll be out and about in my caddy pop top camper on Sunday 23rd for 1 night...I'm based in Teesside...I love exploring around the moors and lakes 😀 nice van 👍
Have you thought of putting an aerial on the roof with a dongle for better mobile phone reception? Really enjoyed the video - I love your sense of humour.
Went there in September , boiling hot weather , was camping at Robin hoods bay, left the T4 at the campsite and jumped a bus to Scarborough for the day , had a good day there, walked to the castle but didn't go in, entrance charge was extortionate, bought dressed crab at the harbour for my supper .
That intro is really nice. The shots are looking great on my TV and I like the styling of the text. My bigger peeve than the forks is paper straws. I think they just feel horrid to drink through so I got some metal straws for the van. Looked like an awesome spot. I wonder how busy it gets on a weekend.
This is awesome! We’ve recently got a micro camper so we’re always on the look out for spots with amazing views to have a cuppa at. Where is the spot you stayed over at? Scarborough is a fave of ours so we’d love to check it out!
Big fan of the channel. Congrats on all the new gear, looking forward to seeing more drone in the videos. Hope you take this as a constructive comment but your new camera looks like you're looking off the shot at the screen rather than lens, you're probably just keeping an eye on the quifage, don't blame you ;)
Living in London and seeing how lucky you are to have all those great places not far from your home is amazing, really enjoyed watching this vlog, Branston, great name, lovely dog, why is he called Branston? 😆😆
Ah thanks Paul.... We are heading down to that there London this year, too much countryside makes you crave cityscape ;) - Hes called Branston because we all universally love Branston Pickle haha... Also it totally suits him haha
Ah thats awesome! Enjoy if you go! Changed the camera as (when I get the hang of the new camera) its better quality. Hopefully once I have mastered it, you'll see... :) Have a super evening
"I have to think about the shot because of the narrower field of vision" - perhaps a few too many cuts of your behind in the opening sequence, and I am sure that would be fine for your good wife, but - a little off putting to us normal folk... 🤣🤣 I love the North Yorkshire coast, might be my Whitby(ish) roots. I am envious seeing those Fish and Chips, I am desperate for some decent Whitby F&C, but would settle for Scarborough right now. Looks like a nice spot that, I have seen a few others in North Yorkshire discussed on here - certainly around the backend of Robin Hoods Bay - which always looks nice.
Ah that sounds like bliss les... The heater is under the rear seat in the back of the van (useless space otherwise) ;) - I have a video on the channel showing me installing it if you are interested ;)
Really great vlog. The new gear is making everything look more polished, including the van!🤣 The cuts between B roll and straight to camera keep the viewer intrigued. I always watch on a Saturday am with a decent coffee and bacon. Check out the Extreme Motorhome Adventures RUclips channel as they have some great video styles, drone footage, and maps/graphics. Keep up the good work and did you ever win on the 2p shove machines?
Get yourself a compass ya muppet, you were parked looking at the south bay then up at the castle you could see the north beach, as bad as our lass, she gets lost in the house 🤣
Hi, we really love watching your videos every week, and the photos you take. We've been thinking of getting a drone. Is it the one you received the other week and would you recommend it for a beginner Keep up the good work and look forward to next week's video.
Ah thank you Russell, thats amazing! - Absolutely, ill be honest if you let go of all the controlls it will just sit there and float so its perfect fot the beginner. Have a good look on RUclips for beginner tutorials re: the Mavic Air (there are loads) and that should really help ;)
I dont know exactly but this link should help finding dark skies in the UK - The one I talked about is very new (according to the farmer) www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/visiting/see-and-do/dark-skies-plan-your-stay-map
Hi Colin awesome video. I have never been to Scarborough (live down south) but looks epic and the fish and chips look lush. Are you now a full time RUclipsr ?
Ace you'll have to pop up one day! Still working (wedding photography and the studio for portraits etc) but I have lots of spare time at this time of year so perfect for making videos! Would love to do it full time but sadly the videos don't come anywhere near enough to pay the bills 🤣🤣
Just like you and your pop top camper, my pop top camper is a none dvla reclassification compliant motorcaravan I.e. just a van with an £18000 full conversion. Who do you get yours insured with, are they bothered about the none dvla compliance and are they reasonable on price?
Ive the same camera and I’m having the same trouble as you in the first part of the vid, it keeps changing focus and goes blurry! It seems to be better when the camera is still. What’s your thoughts?? have you thought about doing a second you tube channel on photography? You’ll be great at that being a pro and great presenting skills. Ill subscribe.👍
Yep, putting it in "i Auto" Movie mode seems to have totally fixed the issue... I filmed another video this week and think I have nailed it. That and buying the ULANZI wide angle adaptor to help with the viewing angle too... I still love it, so far the only issues have been user error... - Thought about doing another channel re: photography but there are so many out there I think I will just throw in a few photography parts in the odd video (more photography in next weeks video) but its mainly a van channel and I enjoy that...
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thanks for the reply. Hope you don’t mind me asking. I think you come across well explaining things and you are likeable, some photography channels are boring. Yes be good to slip in some tips on this channel. 👍
Ah thanks mate, that's super kind. I'm aware that I don't want to make it about photography as that's not what the subscribers came for, but I know they will like some of the images I take so I'll try to keep it 90% van and throw in the odd Photography tips as I go! :) also I don't mind you asking at all! Have a super weekend
I have a gimbal but use it with my So y A7iii for professional work. Gimbals are too clumsy for vlogging though and something else to charge up 🤣🤣! Would work fine on the ZV1 though but as long as you keep fairly steady you should be fine - you'll see in next week's video that I have pretty much nailed it ! :)
We were in Scarborough on Thursday always watch out for you and other vans. We were dolphin watching just below the castle.
Nice vid colin. Fish and chips made me peckish.
"stumble trip stumble trip" we're going on a bear hunt....haha.
Great vlog
Awesome vid. Love Scarborough and that whole load of coastline. Keep 'em coming. John
You stayed at the end of my road (well not my road) I live near, It’s an amazing place wish all campers kept it clean and tidy.
Ah that's ace, you have a lovely street ;)... yeah I even do a clean up if there is other rubbish about, they give us all a bad name.
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures It’s a very popular place for campers sometimes there can be half a dozen vans parked there over night, I’m sure it’s a small minority that are disrespectful but give others bad reputation.

Whaaaaat that's amazing! I have to meet Colin at some point, if you're passing Leeds, give me a shout! Enjoy your adventures.... Awesome news!
Lovely places…thank-you for including the details of the background music. I was going to ask! 😆
Lovely place Ive been putting off buying a van for ages then the prices went stupid....cant wait to get out and about like you are.....
Won't be long mate, have a look on our Facebook page, a friend of mine is selling a fully converted camper 20k... :)
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Thanks i will do that.
Brilliant as always 👌
I've got some time off in Feb and I'm thinking about escaping for a night or two with the dog 🐕 👍
No matter where you go in North Yorkshire the fish and chips are always ace
100% agree with that bud, facts you can't argue with ;)
Saw a dear once up by the castle...brilliant place
Those fish and chips looked gorgeous - just fancy them myself……… I didn’t even know Scarborough had a castle ….. great park up! A smile goes a long way. Lovely photos as usual. Branston looks in fantastic condition - lovely shiny coat and he’s not overweight like a lot of labs! Thanks for another great video. 💕🐾
Ah thank you, we do like to make sure he's fed and exercised well... Michelle said the same about Scarborough Castle too! Have a great evening
Fabulous video again Colin, PMSL at the feathers part and can well imagine what is was like in the van.
Another great little video ,been a yorkshire lass down in Perrenporth, Cornwall,drip fed on rattler ,I know exactly where you are as use the spot when I go back up as nice & peaceful,stumbled across it & have a little book i get hubby to log all my best sites in so I don't forget..

Ah cheers matey, yeah I have thought about it and will most definitely be something added to the van in the future !
Love the film and love the fact Branston has, a poo when you start filming. 17.30 is tea to not dinner are you shore your Yorkshire

Great one that mate keep em coming. The North is ace 👌👍
Hi mate cracking wildcamp location I always end up staying at robin hoods bay.
Looks like your getting the hang of the wild/stealth camping👍
Amazing photos
Lovely vlog 👍🏻 can't beat the East Coast!
Think you mixed up your North and South beaches though! Love Scarborough
Brilliant Vlog mate, love the drone stuff its a real gamechanger...great to see Branston
That intro is really nice. The shots are looking great on my TV and I like the styling of the text.

Mint vid, where did you get the little shelf from please? Great to see Branston ✌️❤️🐾🐾
Lovely spot I live on north east coast where was this situated north or south of Scarborough..Branston is one cool chilled dog
Ah Branston can be full div if he wants to be 😂😂! It was just north of Scarborough (near Heyburn Wyke) :)

What are spare fish n chips?
Loving the new camera shots 👌🏻
Great vlog again. Giving us all more confidence to go and wild camp. Why the change of camera to the Sony ZV1 from the Gopro or Osmo action?
Ah thats awesome! Enjoy if you go!
Changed the camera as (when I get the hang of the new camera) its better quality. Hopefully once I have mastered it, you'll see... :)
Have a super evening
Looked like you tried the pillow from the cushions buddy what do you think

Got a few more subs because of my backside mate haha!!!
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Did you bribe them with specsavers vouchers? 🤣
Agree about winter camping. We were in St Ives Cornwall yesterday. Really quiet, loved it.. Is your diesel heater under the seat. ?
Ah that sounds like bliss les... The heater is under the rear seat in the back of the van (useless space otherwise) ;) - I have a video on the channel showing me installing it if you are interested ;)

Hey buddy, you get them from here matey www.usrdesign.co.uk/
Get yourself a compass ya muppet, you were parked looking at the south bay then up at the castle you could see the north beach, as bad as our lass, she gets lost in the house 🤣
Haha.... No idea mate!!! I need a satnav to get to the loo!
Have a shot every time this guy says ‘nice’
Hi, we really love watching your videos every week, and the photos you take. We've been thinking of getting a drone. Is it the one you received the other week and would you recommend it for a beginner Keep up the good work and look forward to next week's video.
Ah thank you Russell, thats amazing! - Absolutely, ill be honest if you let go of all the controlls it will just sit there and float so its perfect fot the beginner. Have a good look on RUclips for beginner tutorials re: the Mavic Air (there are loads) and that should really help ;)
Russell if you looking for a beginner drone look into Djibouti mini 2 great little beginner drone
Great vlog, please can you say where the Dark Sky sight is ?
I dont know exactly but this link should help finding dark skies in the UK - The one I talked about is very new (according to the farmer) www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/visiting/see-and-do/dark-skies-plan-your-stay-map
Huge thank you for responding and my wife and I love you vlogs. York based m home owner here too 👍🏻
Hi Colin awesome video. I have never been to Scarborough (live down south) but looks epic and the fish and chips look lush.
Are you now a full time
RUclipsr ?

Hi Colin - you have stayed at Eskdale National Trust campsite in the past - how easy was the journey up Hardknock Pass in the campervan?
Hiya buddy, yes I have. But, I took the long way around! Didn't venture up Hard Knot as I have been up there before in a car and it was horrible 🤣🤣
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thank you for that, we love your videos, keep them coming
The castle is open from march to February......isnt that all year? 😅
Exactly what Michelle just said... AND what the sign said... Maybe not Wednesdays hahaha
Just like you and your pop top camper, my pop top camper is a none dvla reclassification compliant motorcaravan I.e. just a van with an £18000 full conversion. Who do you get yours insured with, are they bothered about the none dvla compliance and are they reasonable on price?

One last question! Do you use a gimbal? Do you think it would work well with the Sony ZV-1, Ive took your advice and ordered the Ulanzi lens👍

Would work fine on the ZV1 though but as long as you keep fairly steady you should be fine - you'll see in next week's video that I have pretty much nailed it ! :)
Can you tell me the exact location for this spot please
Where is this wild camp location please
So where did you camp?
At the end of Salt Pans Road nr Scarborough :)
People of scarbados screaming at the t.v. "you parked near South bay!!!!and walked to North bay!!!!!". Geography isn't your strong point . Lol.
Hahahaha I'm literally in bits reading this..... I had absolutely no idea... thanks for clearing it up matey 🤣🤣🤣
A little advice.. look at the lens, not at yourself in the monitor… it’s obvious when watching you talking closely
Haha yep, my absolute nemesis 🤣🤣! I address it in the next video, I'll get the hang of it 🤣🤣
