  • We’ve left Sweden and crossed back to Denmark to stumble on a bit of Danish Magic. Scandinavian campsites just keep getting better. Today’s is wonderful; perfect for families, couples and even single travellers. Join us as we explore the glorious local Fredriksborg castle, seat of the Danish Royal Family for many years.
    The wonderful Danish campsite we stayed at was Hillerød Camping

    The campsite was fabulous at the end of this video. The common or community areas from the inside to outside areas just bring such harmony into one's life. Ohhh what a beautiful evening site with the candles all lit up. With so many details. Interesting and makes so much sense with the shoes in most of the bathrooms or using the blue shoe covers. Oh, the morning with a cup of coffee is brilliant. Free!

    I work for Carlsberg and have spent a lot of time in Copenhagen over the last 20 years. A lot is said about Hygge, but it’s definitely true that the whole sense of community in Denmark makes it so different. As far as cost is concerned - it is expensive but they do believe in quality - everything you buy is the best possible quality.

    I had the same toilet issue on my recent trip to Scotland and ended up having to get my head in the locker with one of those close up make-up mirrors and my head torch whilst it was throwing it down. I think some of the teeth on the mechanism had jumped and it needed setting back a quarter…gotta love a bit of toilet talk 🤣 All fixed now and I earned my large glass of wine that night 🥂

    Steve. I have always used my tank . I sterilize it before we go on holidays. There is also a purification system I leave in the tank as well.
    We have never had any problems yet.
    But I have this year fitted a system that gives me mains water from the tap on my pitches right to my taps and shower in the van.
    So new territory’s for us we will be testing it out whit week at Pentewan Sands.
    Most sites now have your own water tap.

      That campsite looks great £71 is expensive though.
      If you go to Portmerion in Wales they have a new campsite opened this year same price £71 per night but includes access to portmerion. It’s worth a visit may be 2 days or 3 if the weather is nice.
      Your videos are great thanks for taking time off from your hols to do them I’ve tried to do some videos and can’t get to grips with how to edit the video .

      Have you any plans for the summer hols yet?

      The Silvernet ensures that fresh water is automatically preserved every time you refill your water tank. Pure silver ions provide effective protection against Biofilm and contamination of water in your fresh water system.

    As a formerly much ferry using country, ferries functions very efficient in Denmark! Many years ago I drove up and down Norway and passengers had to leave the cars before boarding a ferry, because of a hard stuffing of the cars on the decks of the ferries (At one time I couldn't even leave the car, except eventually through the window, in case of an accident!!). And then finding your passengers again, after leaving the ferry, may be, exciting.

    • @RoamingRadfords
      @RoamingRadfords  Год назад +1

      We’ve only ever found 1 water source that was undrinkable and that was in Albania last year. Every water source we’ve ever filled up at has perfectly drinkable water so we don’t see the need for a Berkey? Even the water coming out of our taps in the motorhome is perfectly drinkable, but we have always used bottles, even in our brand new motorhome, it’s just habit.

    Toured with my son using water from his onboard tank for everything. He did his own conversion and fitted a serious water filter for any mineral content and a 12V UV steriliser unit to kill any biological content. Six of us including 3yr old and 1 yr old no ill effects. His build is for off grid and so that the tank can be filled from a river or a loch.

    Your van seems to be falling apart- it was too low - it needed so much extra to make it suitable- for the cost I think you could have done better - apart from the negatives though, enjoy your travels, I shall keep watching. Last thing I am concerned that Mr works to hard, needs to stop catering to us and take more rest in my opinion-still again only my opinion- what do I know without the details.
