Join us, Carol & Ken, as we take a trip to the New Forest in our Consort Nova Motorhome called Snoopy.
In this video, with a storm closing in we have to leave our park up to get out of the winds. The forest is so wet and, with roads partially flooded, we head to an open area we know to park safely. A blown fuse changes our plans and we have to move on again.
Back at the coast, a walk nearly ends in disaster as Ken takes a tumble. A comforting meal is called for to end the day!
The next day is Good Friday so traffic causes mayhem at our park up. We take a walk along the shingle spit to explore Hurst Castle and finish the day with one of Ken’s favourite meals.

🔶 About us 🔶

Welcome to our channel! We're Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our camper van, which we have just upgraded to a slightly larger model.

Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.

We're passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. We're always learning and look forward to sharing our campervanning experiences with you.

While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local food. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos.

We like historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We aim to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.

We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.

Our channel is perfect for armchair travellers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our 'Buy Me a Coffee' fund, helps to keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. ❤️

  • It's my first time watching your channel. I loved it. So heart warming. My husband passed away 2 weeks ago and it's been so difficult for me but it made me feel warm and happy watching you both together enjoying your life. X X

    As long as the van is not leaking, it is part of the fun😅
  • @user-gf8cv7eh9k
    Just found you tonight, and subscribed right after your video. You have a beautiful calming aura around you both. Also a quiet, dry humor I love. Can’t wait to see what else you treat us to in the future!

    I've been watching a lot of camping in the rain videos and your VANLIFE UK came up. Very nice sitting back and watching you two making the very most of a tremendous storm. Have subscribed . . . . take care
  • @LinsGedz
    I could list to you both all day !!! I love the fact you have a van with more room - you both deserve it ❤
  • A pot of live chives would be a good addition to your van, as they are so good in many recipes.

  • Lovely video. thank you. I am enjoying the meals for two that you make look so easy and taste. I could smell the soup all the way to St. John's, Newfoundland, where I live! All the best.
  • @Bubbasmum
    So bizarre to watch this whilst we are all sweltering, strangely comforting 🤷‍♀️Great video as always
  • @chrissy24-7
    My Dad was a police officer in the USA and taught me about the road grease when it first rains. You're absolutely correct. He was also in a fatal accident investigation team so he saw first-hand how it played out. ❤
