Randomly came across your videos the other night. I’m going through a bit of depression at the minute and you’re making my life tolerable at the minute. Really appreciate the chilled out approach to your content, and wish you all the best moving forward! ❤❤❤
I’m glad to hear my videos are helping you at the moment Abby. I know things can get difficult sometimes just keep soldering on and spend as much time as you can outside away from distractions if you can. Take care 😊
Bless you m8 chin up things can only get better keep trying and try to do it with a smile god loves you and more people love you more than you know I pray things pick up for you m8 I really do ❤
Abby I did the same thing been watching them all day, making me feel less miserable today, thanks for the message and thanks to Shaun. Wish I could get out more. Hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Recently discovered your videos after hubby watched your one on overnight parking in the St. Ives car park. I’ve binge watched loads since then and just love the way you show a mixture of your van; preparing food; scenery; overnight stops and an activity such as surfing. Mind you don’t lose your wedding ring in the sea though 😳
I’ve just became a legend - I’ve subscribed and binged on your content over the past 3 days. Love what you’ve done with the van - you’re livin’ the dream.
Enjoyed seeing your bravery entering that cave 🤣😊 Another great adventure till next time, when you have to pay that darn fine. Have a good weekend from Paul & Kath GB
I have been on RUclips since 2006 and watched many different "outdoor", "camping and "van life" channels. Yours is for some reason becoming my favourite. Not 100% sure why, probably because your videos are short and interesting, and you are a friendky genuine person. Not on the platform for artificial "views" or "coolness". Thank you. Keep those awesome videos coming. I Love your van and love Cornwall so much, I married a Cornish Girl! We live on the Dorset coast but regularly travel down to see friends and family. You may have inspired the odd day trip recently 😉 All the best, Rich.
I’ve only watched a few of your videos and I have to say that I overheard some chap at the caravan and motorhome show talking about your stealth camping in St. Ives and I felt a wry smile come over my face! Seriously though, thank you for highlighting the absurd and utterly annoying and frustrating lack of sympathy and welcome for us motorhomers here in the UK. I can barely use mine locally or even a day out somewhere. Things MUST change as we bring so much to the local economy that it’s ridiculous that councils are preventing us from visiting. Let’s pile on the pressure to welcome us, the responsible day-trippers and wild-campers! Good on you and more power to your elbow
Love Falmouth, spent many fab days there in the RFA lol! Love where you parked up for the night and thanks for the info re the rip off car park! I still pop down there as my hubby is still in the service- as always thanks for the tips! 🤗
As motor-homers me and my wife love watching your shows you give us good ideas About placers to go in Cornwall and plenty of cheap placers to stop over keep them coming.
I’ve recently came across your channel and I have to say your videos are excellent ! I’ve surfed, snorkelled and enjoyed our precious oceans for over 35 years all over the world….although my regular destination will always be our own South West (Devon & Cornwall). Your videos have a chilled and relaxing feel and are well executed and your passion for the ocean connects with those of us that feel the same….well done dude 🌊🤙☀️👊🇬🇧
The cave was such great discovery , for us to tag along (sort of speak); particularly as I now am not as ‘water confident being a city girl ‘, amazing to see
Lovely video again Shaun, have a great week and thanks for brightening up my Monday morning! Maenporth...ahhhhh....I am sure a chunk of my heart is on that beach, so many wonderful memories! Do they still do the castle building contest, last man standing? I remember that on Maenporth, I must have been about 16 at the time. I am now 61, how did that happen?
My God, Cornwall is soul achingly beautiful! Buzzing that from Tuesday on we'll get to call it home! So excited for our move down. 🤩 Cool video, Shaun, keep them coming mate!
@@LoveSundays Meh, you know, I guess we are a little bit excited. Are you kidding me? Can't wait? We're all about ready to explode. We, after all, are moving to, wait for it..... *CORNWALL!!!* 😮 Only been wanting this for about all of my life! Sooooooooooo excited! 🤩🤪
@@alphafoxtrotzulu4235 Rugby, in Warwickshire! 😳 We've snagged ourselves a wee bungalow near to Redruth, I've landed a super sweet job with a great company, and we've got my youngest into the absolute best school possible. Life, she is sweet, and, from Tuesday onwards, it's gonna get sweeter still! 😍 Anyone fancy coming fishing, catch ourselves our dinner? 😎 🎣
@@PilzE. wow quite far then, looks like your all planned for a great time down in the southwest. And your on the north coast as well. With the best surfing beaches and lovely coastline. St Angus just above Redruth is really cool to go to as you can walk all the way to PerrinPorth and see the centuries of mining in the cliffs and the blue from the copper. Newquay is nice as well and so is Holywell beach
Hi Shaun, discovered your channel a few weeks ago and think I’ve caught up 😂😂. Love watchin your adventures and really tempted to get a van and do it up myself. Keep up the good work.
I was in Newquay the other night and looked for somewhere to overnight, Porth wanted £54 a night for myself, 2 dogs and a very small camper, people need affordable camping and this country doesn't deliver. I luckily spent the night on some drive but instead of exploring Cornwall like I planned, I just came home
That's a shame and yeah £54 is a rip off. The only answer is finding a nice free spot somewhere which isn't easy,but doable and when you find it,hopefully it's a place you can return to and really enjoy the surroundings.
May ask a question. How do you keep or what do you do with your key ring for the van and lights alarm etc when you go surfing swimming. Only asking as i kayak have dry bags etc but there is always the chance well nearly always that i cap size while surfing. And they may fail i also sometimes hide them on beach not a great idea i know any suggestions. All Best Mart
I got a key cut from timpsons that doesn’t have a battery in it so it will only open the door of the van (it won’t start the engine) I then put this key in a small dry bag (ziplock sand which bag will also do) and put it inside my wetsuit.
Keep up the Great work . You have a good genuine natural presentation and style . As an ex resident of St Ives for years and Cornwall it’s great to see and show how good our county can be. 👊🏻 as for Rattler Zero … all sorts of wrong 😂🏁🍻 cheers Pard
@@LoveSundays no worries . I’m at present building an overlanding Porsche Cayenne for adventures like yours in Europe next year . Enjoy the peace for the winter months and keep the chilled vibes and content flowing . So good to see home online 🙂🍻🏁
Where do you keep your keys etc when in the water. Have always wondered this when you see all the vans parked up. Is there a safe box in the cafe or something?
I Have recently discovered your videos, have enjoyed watching the few that I have seen. The ridgemonkey is fab you'll be able to heat up your Cornish Pasties. Cinnamon rolls are ❤ just cook on a low heat so not to burn 😊
Great video as always. Love the drone footage and footage from the sea. Cornwall is such a beautiful place, I can’t wait to call it home (was meant to of been this year but life got in the way, but February we’re moving down). I don’t think I’ve been to Maenporth, so will definitely pay a visit. Falmouth is lovely, always visit when down and stop at Fuel for tasty food (thanks to your instagram stories a while back). Thanks again for the car stickers 🙂
Good stuff mate, in this world of doom and gloom it's a real feel good thing to watch your videos and think about my holidays ,,past and future 👍🏴🏴
In Australia you can park up in road side stops and spend the night there and its free many many years there were these free camping areas which were free and they had a shower and toilet block you had to pay for your shower a couple of dollars but l think they still exist
That’s the way it should be all over the world. Ok I get it that the uk is more overly populated than Australia but we have a lot of land that is not used that could have a short stay policy
whats annoyed everyone and put a stop to overnight camping in lots of places, is those that take advantage and stop there for weeks on end, especially in really tatty rusty camper vans that look an eyesore. Its being stopped in lots of coastal places in Devon where they had a big problem with travellers especially ruining it for everyone else, leaving rubbish everywhere and basically not caring about the locals. Then there were certain places that you just couldn't find anywhere to park because every space was taken over with vans and camper vans.
I’ve travelled all over Europe, Australia and New Zealand in a motorhome and without doubt, England is the worst place to do it. One of the most beautiful countries in the world, but local councils imposing ridiculous rules and regulations make it a nightmare. Scotland on the other hand….
I couldn’t agree more!! We bring so much to the local economy that the councils are cutting their noses to spite their faces! Frustrating is an understatement
@@TheYummyMummyChannel My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in my home town of Chester in the Roodee car park, which only has about six designated areas for Motorhomes to park and no facilities. We spent almost £2000 “entertaining” friends and family in the city, which is crying out for custom. On the last day, none of the designated parking areas were available so I had to park with the van in a single car space but with the back end hanging over a flat concrete pad, but not in anyones way. I was fined £60 for this!! I told the local council that if they wanted to encourage more people into the city to spend their money and support local businesses, they should consider a proper ‘aire’ like most small towns throughout Europe. I received a simple note in reply - “We’ve considered your request. The fine stands.” And that’s why I now live in France.🤨
@@wallabybob3020 isn’t that just so sad? I had a similar situation in Lyndhurst, Hampshire. When I asked the council why I had got the fine and what else could I do, even they thought it was strange that I got a £60 fine and couldn’t answer as to where else I could have parked? It’s put me off using my motorhome so many times. I believe that there is growing pressure on local authorities to provide UK style “aires” but with the recent spate of “newbies” spawned from the staycation pandemic who empty their toilet cassettes etc into the hedges (yes I was gobsmacked too) and parking across people’s drives etc …then there will always be the rest of us who are respectful who pay the price! Europe seem to have it nailed though but I’m just too chicken too try! Enjoy beautiful France!
@@TheYummyMummyChannel It is sad - and ridiculous! The U.K. has so much to offer. Unfortunately, the ‘travellers’ (Let’s call them what they are - gypsies!) have ruined it for motorhomers. I refuse to stay in a Motorhome and Caravan site for £30 a night, but that’s becoming the only option as they close down any wild camping areas. Get yourself over to Europe. You’ll love it! It’s so much easier to find good spots to stay (Park4Night/Search for sites) and people are much friendlier.
Top tips.... Get yourself some rolled pizza dough (or a garlic ciabatta thing) whack some toppings and cheese on and you can make lush pizzas in the RidgeMonkey 😊 Oh yeah. And get within dashing distance of a latrine if you're gonna drink any non-alcoholic cider! 😂😂
I have a similar sandwich toaster (I make banging bacon, brie and cranberry paninis or ciabattas in it) and have found that a lower heat works best to give the filling time to melt before the bread burns. I cook the bacon in it as a frying pan first and then make up the sandwich to toast. I bet they would taste even better at the beach. ❤
Another great vlog those sea caves looked amazing not sure I would want to be out that far on my own lol. We used to holiday every year in Cornwall great to see some places we have never visited 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
What Drone are you using please. I’m guessing it’s a Mavic mini? Reason for asking is they are better for camp trips, and you can get closer due to the weight
Thanks, i have loads of drones, im looking to buy the mini 3, as its safer and because its 249 grams, there is less seperation between uninvolved people. we also have a camper we built. keep up the good work.. Norm
Hi Shaun, I to came across your channel a few weeks ago. Watched some of your earlier blogs and I’m really pleased that your channel is growing. Well done for persevering, all good things come to those who wait or in your case persist! 😆 Great video, really enjoyed it on this wet and rainy halloween night! Thanks for all your efforts! Have a good one, see you next week👍🏻
I also love that beach in falmouth as well cause when its low tide there , there are loads of caves to explore which i haven't got to yet, if I'm right that cafe was shut for a while due to fire damage but got done up again which is good. Great camera shots as usell mate 🙏🙏
Hi. Just found your channel. I’ve been doing the occasional overnight in my van for years. Often when working away. I even run an iberspacher at night. Never had anyone bother me I’ll definitely do a bit more holiday type overnight stops after watching this
The sign means nothing unless there is a warning of a penalty or parking charge notice. There's been plenty of articles in the papers that people can park on private drives where the land owner does not get any council or police help to get it removed. So basically park as you wish, but best to move on if you are asked by the owner. Have camped over last 3 years in many park ups and never had any problems, apart from boy racers..
Cracking video again shaun. I like the look off maen porth I must take a look one day, you sandwich looked amazing mate it made me want one. I also know all about that car park as well, keep up the good work mate. 😊😊
Great video Shaun as always mate. How come there is resistance about van life in Cornwall? I do a lot of wild camping and I'm sure most the van life guys also go by the leave no trace standard. I'm sure if the car parks and pubs offered over night stays for a couple of £'s per night surely that would give them such a huge revenue over the year.
I think it’s probably because there’s so many vans down here that never move but who knows. A lot more pubs are offering overnight stays in your van now though
@@LoveSundays Yeah loved the thought of pubs offering that service. I know Newquay has quite a few vans now but isnt that part of the surf culture down there?
Parking is very difficult and very expensive in parts of Cornwall. indeed near any beach in the UK. Perhaps someone could devise an app for people to let out their front drives for campers to park overnight on. OK, someone's paved drive isn't exactly a sandy beach but at least your parked safely off the road and avoiding penalties. And a good source of revenue for homeowners as well.
Great content again Shaun loved the snorkeling as always although bad viz. A question if you don't mind snorkeling or surfing which do you prefer?.I'm a lot older than you and my favourite is snorkeling and hopefully maybe next summer we could get out to the Ben asdale together. Great video and getting better all the time thanks Shaun.
I’d probably say I find snorkelling more calming and I’ve been snorkelling longer than I have surfing so probably snorkelling. Yea I’d be up for a trip out to the Ben asdale mate
Ace video mate and did I spot a new 360 gizmo in there? The first pub visit you did was a bit of a reverse Cheers, "Where every body doesn't know your name"! LOL, later buddy. 😄
I use my toastie maker for all sorts, cook bacon in it, no need to turn the bacon just flip the thing over and turn it on its side to drain any fat into a paper towel! There mega
It's refreshing to see some one ...who obviously enjoys what there doing .......has for the parking nightmare ...we all know where we stand on these extortionate scams that either councils or private companies are charging ...keep up the travelling ....its nice to see our own sea landscapes ...because there so beautiful...
Was your van low mileage when you brought it. This earth was given to us free and the government and councils believe they own it and say we can't park up
I used to practice in the sink at home. Put a mask on fill the sink with water set a timer and hold your breathe then just keep trying to hold for longer. It’s not the same as being in the sea as the water pressure isn’t as high but it does help
@@ElliotCartlidge1 that’s pretty good. It depends on your age and lifestyle I guess. When I was in my younger years I could hold mine for over 2 minutes but now I’m nearly 40 I’m around the 1 minute mark.
Great videos.Very relaxed style makes for a friendly viewing experience. When are you going to do a video called "how much I got paid for 1 million veiws". Would be super interesting.
I did see a video of effluent being dumped at St Agnes the other day, absolutely shocking! Hope you keep safe and check out Sufers against Sewage website!
Another crackin’ video Shaun! Have to say, your van does look cosy with the lights - I think the surfboard hanging up makes it and great to see some advertising for “Surfers Against Sewage’ too! The Ridge Monkey is a great bit of kit - there’s not really a guide with it - it’s more trial and error - and once you’ve done it a few times, just popping it open quickly see how it’s getting on, and flip it over so you use both sides for an equal amount of time, you can create some tasty treats!!

I told the local council that if they wanted to encourage more people into the city to spend their money and support local businesses, they should consider a proper ‘aire’ like most small towns throughout Europe. I received a simple note in reply - “We’ve considered your request. The fine stands.”
And that’s why I now live in France.🤨
@@wallabybob3020 isn’t that just so sad? I had a similar situation in Lyndhurst, Hampshire. When I asked the council why I had got the fine and what else could I do, even they thought it was strange that I got a £60 fine and couldn’t answer as to where else I could have parked? It’s put me off using my motorhome so many times. I believe that there is growing pressure on local authorities to provide UK style “aires” but with the recent spate of “newbies” spawned from the staycation pandemic who empty their toilet cassettes etc into the hedges (yes I was gobsmacked too) and parking across people’s drives etc …then there will always be the rest of us who are respectful who pay the price! Europe seem to have it nailed though but I’m just too chicken too try! Enjoy beautiful France!
@@TheYummyMummyChannel It is sad - and ridiculous! The U.K. has so much to offer. Unfortunately, the ‘travellers’ (Let’s call them what they are - gypsies!) have ruined it for motorhomers. I refuse to stay in a Motorhome and Caravan site for £30 a night, but that’s becoming the only option as they close down any wild camping areas. Get yourself over to Europe. You’ll love it! It’s so much easier to find good spots to stay (Park4Night/Search for sites) and people are much friendlier.
Love the video and Thankyou for the sticker 👍👍
No worries
Top tips.... Get yourself some rolled pizza dough (or a garlic ciabatta thing) whack some toppings and cheese on and you can make lush pizzas in the RidgeMonkey 😊
Oh yeah. And get within dashing distance of a latrine if you're gonna drink any non-alcoholic cider! 😂😂
I have to try this now thank you
Butter on the outside 😉great video 👍
Thanks Mark
Hi Shaun, great video, what cameras are you using?
All the camera I use are in the video description Bob 👍
@@LoveSundays Of course, cheers.
I have a similar sandwich toaster (I make banging bacon, brie and cranberry paninis or ciabattas in it) and have found that a lower heat works best to give the filling time to melt before the bread burns. I cook the bacon in it as a frying pan first and then make up the sandwich to toast. I bet they would taste even better at the beach. ❤
Sounds good I’ll definitely try that
Another great vlog those sea caves looked amazing not sure I would want to be out that far on my own lol. We used to holiday every year in Cornwall great to see some places we have never visited 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video
I totally Agree about getting in the water 💦 can’t wait to visit maenporth it looks so lovely 💜
It’s my favourite Falmouth beach
What Drone are you using please. I’m guessing it’s a Mavic mini? Reason for asking is they are better for camp trips, and you can get closer due to the weight
Yea it is a Mavic mini. You can see my full list of camera gear in the description
Thanks, i have loads of drones, im looking to buy the mini 3, as its safer and because its 249 grams, there is less seperation between uninvolved people. we also have a camper we built. keep up the good work.. Norm
Great video Shaun!👌
Thank you
Hi Shaun, I to came across your channel a few weeks ago. Watched some of your earlier blogs and I’m really pleased that your channel is growing. Well done for persevering, all good things come to those who wait or in your case persist! 😆 Great video, really enjoyed it on this wet and rainy halloween night! Thanks for all your efforts! Have a good one, see you next week👍🏻
Thanks Andrew
I also love that beach in falmouth as well cause when its low tide there , there are loads of caves to explore which i haven't got to yet, if I'm right that cafe was shut for a while due to fire damage but got done up again which is good. Great camera shots as usell mate 🙏🙏
Yea the cafe shut back in 2020 due to a fire
@@LoveSundays shame it got hit by a fire but its good to see it back up and running again :)
looks like you've acquired a 360 camera now, which one did you get~?
Insta360 X3
Question .. sea beach is supposed to be free to use as a camping spot . Why it has an owner ?
It’s the carpark that’s owned unfortunately
@@LoveSundays love your videos .. keep up the good work
.
Enjoying your videos buddy keep em coming 🤙🤙
Thank you
Wow 24k followers and climbing - well done 🎉
Thanks Adele
Chain locker is great , Beerwolfe is good for a pint and a read.
Agreed
Hi. Just found your channel.
I’ve been doing the occasional overnight in my van for years. Often when working away.
I even run an iberspacher at night. Never had anyone bother me
I’ll definitely do a bit more holiday type overnight stops after watching this
Welcome to the channel
The sign means nothing unless there is a warning of a penalty or parking charge notice. There's been plenty of articles in the papers that people can park on private drives where the land owner does not get any council or police help to get it removed. So basically park as you wish, but best to move on if you are asked by the owner. Have camped over last 3 years in many park ups and never had any problems, apart from boy racers..
Good tips
Cracking video again shaun. I like the look off maen porth I must take a look one day, you sandwich looked amazing mate it made me want one. I also know all about that car park as well, keep up the good work mate. 😊😊
Thanks Jon
@@LoveSundays and it looks like you got a new posh camera mate. Very clever
There’s always parking on Melville road.
Great video Shaun as always mate. How come there is resistance about van life in Cornwall? I do a lot of wild camping and I'm sure most the van life guys also go by the leave no trace standard.
I'm sure if the car parks and pubs offered over night stays for a couple of £'s per night surely that would give them such a huge revenue over the year.
I think it’s probably because there’s so many vans down here that never move but who knows. A lot more pubs are offering overnight stays in your van now though
@@LoveSundays What's the typical price for overnight in a pub car park /site?
@@LoveSundays Yeah loved the thought of pubs offering that service. I know Newquay has quite a few vans now but isnt that part of the surf culture down there?
Most pubs don’t charge if you utilize them.. look up britstops
Was that cam hanging out the van a 360 x2 or the newer one ?
Well that's Sunday Lunch fixed tomorrow .
It’s the insta360 X3 👍
Love these videos! Have you tried St Agnes Head? Such a cool spot and no parking charges! As far as I’ve seen anyway!
I’ll have to check it out. I’ve been there loads of the years but never camped there
@@LoveSundays I’ve always thought about it! May be a bit windy though 😂
Superb vid .... thanks for the what 3 words location I swear by that app 👍👍👍👍
Glad it helps. I’m going to start doing that on all my vids now I think
@@LoveSundays yea thinknit would be a good idea.... looking to head down there in next 3 weeks
I only drive on to the carpark a Falmouth beach and because didn't bit ticket within 10 mins of me drjbjng round looking for a space they fined me lol
It happens all
The time doesn’t it
Parking is very difficult and very expensive in parts of Cornwall. indeed near any beach in the UK. Perhaps someone could devise an app for people to let out their front drives for campers to park overnight on. OK, someone's paved drive isn't exactly a sandy beach but at least your parked safely off the road and avoiding penalties. And a good source of revenue for homeowners as well.
Good idea
Add butter to either side of the outside of the bread then toast it! Great content.
Yea I would normally add butter to the outside but wanted to test it without just to see if I could just toast it plus it less messy lol
Another good video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers Jimmy
Branstons! I've just discovered this in the USA. 😋
Beautiful pickle isn’t it
Great content again Shaun loved the snorkeling as always although bad viz. A question if you don't mind snorkeling or surfing which do you prefer?.I'm a lot older than you and my favourite is snorkeling and hopefully maybe next summer we could get out to the Ben asdale together. Great video and getting better all the time thanks Shaun.
I’d probably say I find snorkelling more calming and I’ve been snorkelling longer than I have surfing so probably snorkelling. Yea I’d be up for a trip out to the Ben asdale mate
nice mate what a view to wake up to for sure
Thanks John
Ace video mate and did I spot a new 360 gizmo in there? The first pub visit you did was a bit of a reverse Cheers, "Where every body doesn't know your name"! LOL, later buddy. 😄
I’m glad someone noticed the 360 😂
I noticed it too 😄
I noticed it too! I follow some equestrian vloggers and they use them a lot. 😊
What do they define as overnight parking?
I guess it’s parking past midnight until sunrise
Cracking video as ever, now I’ve got two red marks on top of my knee’s where my elbows have been whilst watching your video….! Guess where I was.🤣🤣👍🦊
Poo tube 😂
@@LoveSundays yep 🤣🤣
I use my toastie maker for all sorts, cook bacon in it, no need to turn the bacon just flip the thing over and turn it on its side to drain any fat into a paper towel! There mega
Yea I’m planning to do some experiments with it
It's refreshing to see some one ...who obviously enjoys what there doing .......has for the parking nightmare ...we all know where we stand on these extortionate scams that either councils or private companies are charging ...keep up the travelling ....its nice to see our own sea landscapes ...because there so beautiful...
Thanks Mick
Was your van low mileage when you brought it. This earth was given to us free and the government and councils believe they own it and say we can't park up
The van had 135k miles on it when I bought it so not too bad
@@LoveSundays I just can't find anything with reasonable mileage
Trust me, you need to butter the outside of the toasty next time, game changer .
Yea totally agree I just didn’t want the mess 😂
@@LoveSundays it’s worth the mess and you know it 😂
Looks awesome. Are you lucky enough to live in Cornwall?
Yes I live in Cornwall and go camping most weekends
How’d you dry your wetsuit off when your in your camper 👍
I don’t I wash and dry it when I get home normally. If I’m away in the van for longer than 1 night I just hang it over my back doors in the sun
@@LoveSundays do you have any tips or advice for someone to improve there underwater breath holds to stay under for longer
Cheers 👍
I used to practice in the sink at home. Put a mask on fill the sink with water set a timer and hold your breathe then just keep trying to hold for longer. It’s not the same as being in the sea as the water pressure isn’t as high but it does help
@@LoveSundays thank you I can hold mine for about 45-1 minute do you think that’s any good
@@ElliotCartlidge1 that’s pretty good. It depends on your age and lifestyle I guess. When I was in my younger years I could hold mine for over 2 minutes but now I’m nearly 40 I’m around the 1 minute mark.
Have you tried fake business magnets and parking near other vans? Or near businesses?
I’ve got some on order actually
Great watch as usual Shaun....fab cave ✊😁. Are you doing anything for Halloween 🎃👻...just a thought 🚐💝👍
I was going to but then decided against it as I just didn’t have time to make a Halloween special. Maybe next year though
Newquay is lucky people want to park over night !!
If we all stopped coming they would cry 😢
Great videos.Very relaxed style makes for a friendly viewing experience. When are you going to do a video called "how much I got paid for 1 million veiws". Would be super interesting.
🤔 that’s an idea
I did see a video of effluent being dumped at St Agnes the other day, absolutely shocking! Hope you keep safe and check out Sufers against Sewage website!
Just found you on instagram. 👍🏻
OOOH is that a 360 camera?
Insta 360 X3 terry
Do I spy a new camera?
Another crackin’ video Shaun! Have to say, your van does look cosy with the lights - I think the surfboard hanging up makes it and great to see some advertising for “Surfers Against Sewage’ too! The Ridge Monkey is a great bit of kit - there’s not really a guide with it - it’s more trial and error - and once you’ve done it a few times, just popping it open quickly see how it’s getting on, and flip it over so you use both sides for an equal amount of time, you can create some tasty treats!!
Cheers Damian
