Behind the scenes at the MIGHTY VanLove Fest 24
In this weeks episode, we travel North to York to one of the UK’s largest Vanlife festivals ‘VanLife Fest’ held unusually on the runway of an airfield with over 1000 vans & 2500 people in attendance.
Taking the entire Wellness Village with us, Lyndsey & Jess (The Concious Heart Warriors) and a team of fabulous facilitators set up to empower and heal their guests over this particularly HOT weekend in the sun.
In addition to VanLove, we pay a swift overnight visit in passing, to Fickle Fields in Essex to attend a freedom festival and organise some future events.

VANLIFE - Camping in a HAUNTED wood!
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
This week, we found ourselves parked up in the campervan, in the Hertfordshire area we both spent our childhood growing up in. Because of this...We decided to re-visit some of the more strange, bizarre and even haunted sites remembered from our younger years past. From an unbelievable grave stone in a Ware cemetery to one of the most haunted churches in the UK, there are plenty of legendary pla...

    Cold Christmas reminded me of visiting old St Marys church in Clophill at midnight in my teens (Bedfordshie /Herts border) , it was a ruined church with a satanic past and had these old gravestones lining the area. We sat on the window space in the ruins at midnight and looked over to the ancient gravestones. There was a man in a black hooded gown and glowing red eyes standing still lookign back at us. I got the fear and sprinted back to car and he chased us, when we got in the car we looked toward the church and saw that they had rigged up some system to float and move all these white 'sheets' around inside it, high up way our of reach, maybe running about with them on poles or somehting wierd, then saw another hooded person with red glowing eyes running towards our car so i reversed down the track faaaast.
