  • Who doesn't love Cornwall? And what a time of year to be returning...Spring!
    But how is the 'No Overnight Parking' capital of the UK these days?
    We find out, the best way possible, with a spontaneous road trip across this West Country gem and search out some of the best FREE (or CHEAP) park ups along the way!
    With an influx of 1,000's of FESTIVAL goers converging for 'Tunes In The Dunes', in Perranporth...Wild, free or cheap overnight parking could be even more difficult to find?

    I live in Cornwall, vans parked everywhere they want to is a huge issue. We’ve had them parked down our lane in such a way nobody could get out of the lane, it happens every summer. With the the a30 closure until December Cornwall is going to be worse than ever this year. I wish there was a planned solution rather than just a flat no parking rule. So many fields sit empty and they could be utilised.

    • @OurVanTales
      @OurVanTales  Год назад +3

      That’s a great idea…More ‘pop up’ farmers fields and council carparks allowing good value (sensible) overnight parking at the height of the season 🫶

    When I started in my van, they were rare and compact things - wild camping was easy and well tollerated. Now (amongst others) the 'caravan' brigade have moved on to vans from their caravans. They want the same space as they had in their caravans and the size has got ridiculous; often parked side on taken up 3 or even 4 parking spaces. Also the old rules of stay one night, no campsite behaviour (ie setting up tables, chairs, awninfs etc.) do not seem to be followed by many. Finally there was the pandemic when those who usually headed to the med sun went to go-outdoors and bought cheap camping stuff and abused the UK countryside and coastline. Now we have 'no overnight parking' signs everywhere.
    Back to old rules please:
    Park in one space, if your van doesn't fit in one space - get a campsite pitch.
    Stay within the confines of your space - no awnings, windbreaks, tabels etc.
    Stay for one night only and move on - don't abuse the hospitality of the locals.
    Be considerate - no camping in passing places or trespassing.
    No wildcamping if you don't have on board toilet and waste water.
    Only overnight in places away from peoples homes.
    Don't block the views of others.
    Park away from other units - simplicity and solitude are a highlight of van life.
    No generators.
    Leave nothing but tyre marks.

      The UV-5 are technically a ham radio and requires licence, In some countries that is a BIG issue.
      Buy any Licence free PMR radio instead to be sure not to get in legal trouble.

    A gentleman traveling I think from England traveling to the north of Scotland with his family. Parked in a no overnight parking facility. Police came and tried to charge him. He got a lawyer and it was proven you can park overnight anywhere in the uk as long as its a public highway and not obstructing.

    Hi Andy can I ask did you stop off at the old air run way place in Cornwall? I went there a couple of years ago such a beautiful place. But what you said in your video true,? Because like to go there in July? Have amazing time at van life festival. Was going but I gave my tickets away because since my youngest whippet became I’ll at camp quirky she passed away in my arms on the 10th may.

    • @OurVanTales
      @OurVanTales  Год назад +1

      The window grills are by Omit Van. They simply slot in and allow you to effectively shut your windows still, for security, whilst allowing airflow. Particularly good for ‘overnight’ sleeping and not getting condensation. The netting inside stops any bugs/midges getting in too so great for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
