I'm NOT Travelling Solo Anymore! 🚐 | Van Life UK

Well there's a bit of a change to my van life adventures today because for once I'm not going to be traveling solo. I've got a friend joining me for a little while and they've arrived today. It'll be lovely to have a little bit of company and I'm really looking forward to seeing what adventures we get up to. Good afternoon I am at the services I don't know what services Godano or something something like that Godano services. I've just been for a shower it was wonderful. Do I get the key from the shower I think from you? Yeah. I do love shower days in the van, it does make me feel nice and fresh. I actually use this good app, it's called Camper Van Bible and if you just go on it, you can go onto the map and then filter by various different things but I just use showers. It just shows all the showers in the area so I did that and found these showers, it was only about a five minute drive. From where I parked last night. It was a good little park up that. I'm on the hunt today. I want a beach front park up. I'm going to drive to the beach front. And I'm going to see if I can find any. If not, that's fine. But I'm going to go and at least hunt and see if I can find one. I fancy just a lazy Sunday. The first spot that I came to, I think would be a good one. There is a Monday to Saturday, 8 till 6, 4 hours, no return. But it's like 2 o'clock now, so I could stay overnight. Quite nice, hey? Beachfront. I don't know what town I'm in, Clevedon or something like that but my friend has just messaged me and said they're in Weston-super-Mare so I'm gonna leave and head to Weston-super-Mare and meet them. Oh no, change of plan. I think they're coming here. So this is the park up. I think it's a nice one. It does have those signs. It's a nice place but my friend does not like it. Oh we're having a nightmare. We went to Weston-super-Mare, we're driving around looking for a park up for a pair of us now. It's... We are now heading back to my previous, my previous spot. This is a nightmare. J'avoue, we are back, but oh dear. He thinks he can't park here. Ho ho ho. And this, I think is one of the problems a bad life with other people. I'm better off on my own, aren't I? I've quietened off a lot now. It's lovely here. Oh, it is cold. It's chilly. It's late. What time is it? It's 10 past 11. Wow. We were chatting for far too long and it's so cold now I've come back to the van. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I don't know. I don't know what our plan is really. Our plan is to kind of leave early because the van is too big. It's just too big. I would never want a van that big. I thought I did. When he bought it, I thought I wouldn't want one that big because, but yeah, I would never want a van that big. Good night. I will see you in. Good morning, Rowan. Good morning. Half seven. It's chilly this morning. It's always nice to wake up by the sea though. Oh, I was going to see if I can walk down that pier, but it looks like, where am I? Clevedon. There's a sign there saying pier closed. Oh, no, you actually, you have to pay to go onto the pier. Interesting. I've never paid to go onto a pier before. Oh, look at all the poppies. Oh, wow. Look at this little nugget. The tide range at this pier is the second highest in the world. Oh, I don't know why I've come out without my coat. It's far too cold. It's definitely gloves. Definitely gloves weather. Yeah, we're going to move in a minute because that van, his van is just, Mark's van is ridiculous. It just sticks out when you see it next to mine. Just this little tiny thing right on the front there. It's not, yeah, we need to move. We're just both getting organised and then we're going to move on for the day. What should we be going to use these for your little screw plugs? So do it this way. Hold that top bit. That one. Hold that one. So it'd be like Yeah, that's well good. Look, perfect. Do you want to cut it down a little bit? So how will I keep it up there? It'll be attached over there. You want to be able to open it. Just have your little hooks up there. Five or six hooks up there. Just hook it on. You'll have a little bit of gap like that. We ain't doing this here. Keep it straight. Bloody B&M car park. Put one of them in there. What is that? I don't know. Lovely, nice new thermal curtain up there, blackout curtain, it's got a little bit of a gap up there but I'm off with that. I'm pleased with that curtain, I think, we'll have to test it tonight and see how, see what I feel in the night and stuff but that's good, that's a job I've been wanting to do for ages but I'm just so rubbish and so, yeah, we got it done there. I'm gonna We're going to head back to the place, if you saw my last video in Portishead, we're going back up to that park up there to see if we can just park up there for the day and night. Or maybe the day and night, I might find something different. But anyway, yeah, we're going to just have a bit of a work day, really. I do have a tendency to, when I'm on these road trips, to just be like, yep, this is me, I'm off having fun, doing my hikes, gallivanting around. And I do need to buckle down and make sure I'm doing work as well, like food content and other stuff. And because Mark works online as well, it's nice to have that. But he wants to be doing it today, so then it forces me to do it rather than just going off exploring. I do have a tendency. when i'm in new places just to want to go and explore so go back to that big place see if we can get her and get a park up for the pair of us it's got to be about you hasn't it you can't swim anyway duck you can't swim in the area layers and layers of years old i love rocks i think they're well interesting places like this back to my van to make myself some lunch we have had a really Well I don't know whether Mark did. A really productive few hours it's kind of it's nice having that someone else working alongside you isn't it it's kind of like encourages you and it does me anyway and like encourages me just to keep working if someone else is just sitting there on their laptop working so yeah it's been good. The weather has turned it is miserable raining it's not nice out there so I think probably will just just stay there I mean it's just the time of year it's what's going to happen isn't it there's going to be less exploring it's just going to be less, there's going to be more just staying in the van. My lunch is a disaster. I bought these from home, like rice paper rolls. I love making them at home. Well, I just love baking them. They're really just nice little thing, but I don't know, everything in the van is always a disaster. We're just scouting out overnight spots because we're down there. We're not allowed to park down there overnight. We just literally walked up here. That is not nice out there. Right, we're moving. We're going to that park up just up there for the night. There's a dog walking up there, grass area. I think the ground is a big new thing. It probably is the ground. Ha ha ha ha ha! This is what I'm playing. Oh, power, here come all of them. Don't jump! Thank you. I think they're all tentacles. The guy's saying... No. Shut up. I don't know. Yeah, chocolate then. What does that mean? I don't know, I've read it all. It's Star America! Yay! And then after this, should we do some line dancing? What do you mean? I love line dancing.
