@@jamesbrook16 iv stealth camped a few times but if I’m on holiday I do like to have a drink and relax without having to worry about where iv left the van or if I’m going to get moved on in the night, but I will often stealth it a few times if on a long road trip. I do also watch a lot of stealth campers on RUclips 👍🍻🚐
@@Bongoben, we’ve never been moved on and only had ‘the knock’ from the police twice, once near Bosworth and once near Calais. On both cases they were just checking on our welfare. My wife barely drinks so I can get hammered! We are ‘just for the weekend van life’.

You can park up the road for free and won't get bothered at all. Centre parcs is just up the road. Not far from the is a bp garage with 24hr washing and drying matchine. You have Aldi Tesco and a Domino's 😊😅😅
@chucky2316 loads of places to park where you won't get fined. Aldi is the only place with time restrictions, and all you need is a little bit of duct tape to stop a fine coming

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoy the channel. I can’t afford anything like that I’m afraid but to be honest I don’t need anymore space as I’m only in the van to eat and sleep. I’m out exploring on foot most of the time. Thanks for watching 👍🍻😃
OMG! That shower is grim as you say. I would definitely not want to use those! Lazy owners, it would only take a day to scrape off the flaky paint and give it one coat! Over 2K subscribers well done Ben 👍🏼
Yeah it was grim. Thanks, yeah the channel has done really well over the past few months. I have a love hate relationship with this campsite as it’s definitely not the best but this video is my best performing video lol thanks for watching 👍🍻🚐
Didn't realise there was a camp site behind that pub though probably better to forget it anyway. It's a shame the pub is so run down, just like the rest of Brandon. It used to be a decent little town, and I remember that pub with loads of full tables outside, hanging baskets, decent food and beer. Sadly a sign of the times.
It is a shame. I did feel like it could have been such a good pub. I enjoyed Brandon to be fair but I don’t now what it was like in the past . Thanks for watching 👍🚐🍻
Just found came across your page. Great content and length can’t wait to watch some more! Away in my caravan this weekend. You need to try some sites in Scotland if you haven’t already! 😆
Thanks . I have done a lot of road trips to Scotland but not since I set up the channel. I do hope to get back out there one day . Thanks for watching . Hope you have a great weekend 👍🍻🚐
Should’ve talked to your neighbours, introduce yourself and let them know what you’re about,you never know, some of them might’ve been ok with filming and you might’ve met some interesting characters for your film. Also, you can’t enjoy a beer by sipping it, a good couple of gulps would’ve hit the spot! Best of luck to you mate
I did talk to them but as for the videos I want them to be secret reviews . I want the campers and staff to treat me as they normally would rather than be extra nice to me because they now I’m filming. That way it’s a more honest review of what the staff and campsite is actually like. Thanks for the feed back tho. The diet I’m on in this and many videos means I can’t drink very much unfortunately,which is why I sip but yes I totally agree with you on that. Some of the earlier videos i do neck the first pint and have a few more. Thanks for watching 👍🍻🚐
New to your channel but enjoyed this miss-adventure! Get stung enough and you won’t get stung again is current thought process. Stay blessed geez. Catch ya again later 💯🤜🏼
Thanks mate. The toilet looked like it had recently been painted but had to much moisture in the walls. It was a flat roof out house building so I think it had a leak in the roof. It was a nice area and as a single man on my own I did not have a bad stay tbf but It’s definitely not for everyone. Thanks for watching 👍🍻🚐
I live in Brandon and often Kayak along the little ouse it’s very popular in the summer. I’ve also been stung to bits by those nettles and it’s a shame that stretch isn’t kept clear like the section behind the ram pub.
Such a wasted business opportunity. I've camped around here loads of times. The pub linked to that field has so much scope for an amazing little business with a campsite shop. Shame.
Yeah it is a shame. I really liked Brandon and there are no campsites in thetford forest. I could be such a fantastic campsite. It was a large field and flat from what I remember. Thanks for watching 👍🚐🍻
Brandon is a lovely place to visit. It’s the worst iv stayed on so far but I’m sure there are some worse places out there and to be fair I did not have a terrible time.Thanks for watching 👍🍻🚐
What a come down from last week , you would have been better off going back and catching that pike ! The river walk looked good and you had a perfect opportunity to jump in … no one was around ! Do you think the toilets were being decorated? As the suite itself looked good . The long grass and the slurry caravans, as soon as I saw them I’d of drove off..
The toilet looked to me as if it had recently been decorated but as it was a flat roof outhouse, I think the roof had a leak and the painter just painted over the damp walls leaving the paint to peel . Or it got a leak after being painted . Tbf the tiles were nice and modern. That was a lovely river walk but we need to be in a heatwave for me to get in 😂 thanks for watching 👍🍻🚐
Well that was a really cool vid dude, really liked the edit 🎉 So, I’m thinking you must be a Fifth Element fan? And I too have now gone Keto again 😂 need to jumpstart weight loss, so gonna do it for a few weeks 🎉
Cheers mate. I’m happy with the end result of this video and so far it is performing really well. Iv never seen the fifth element lol . I love keto is definitely the diet for me but the first week I always find hard as just feel so drained but after that it’s easy . It’s definitely changed my life👍🍻🚐
Iv stayed on better sites for £10 but to be fair I didn’t have a terrible time . But yeah everything is to expensive these days . Thanks for watching 👍🍻🚐
