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.

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...

Whilst recently heading off for a few days of vanlife fun with friends in Cornwall, our plans were spontaneously changed by our mate Jess and her engine trouble meaning she had to abandon her vehicle and we gained an additional passenger (and her belongings) on board our van to continue. Our visions of wild camping freely along the Cornish coast were immediately dashed. Space inside our van was...

This week we park up the van in the Moroccan city centre of Marrakech to experience the hustle & bustle of the Souks before heading back to the coast to discover that Essaouira doesn't like camper vans or motor homes as much as the rest of Morocco.

Thank you for ahowcasing beautiful Scotland, if you ever go back, can i recommend a visit to Glen Coe ....its absolutely stunning !!
So glad i found your channel !! I cant tell you hpw much im enjoying your travels, you're lovely people and Blue is so cute !! Im a 69 year old woman, not decrepit ( yet ) and for a few years I've been drawn to vanlife, but ...i live in Cyprus now and only have a couple of pensions to live on and no money ro buy a van ( especially not here in Cyprus, way too expensive ) so i get my fix by following guys like you on UA-cam, keep up the great work you do on your channel !! ❤😊
Hi thank you, so informative, we live in Cornwall but like to travel in our van. Did you mention an app with info on overnight car parks?
Cheers so much! We often use ‘Park4Night’ 🫶🙌

Hi Andy and Lindsay, was a pleasure to meet you Andy. Sorry I didn't get chance to introduce myself to Lindsay. I feel different from just watching what Lindsay does already. How weird it that. Thanks Drew

Hg mould spray. Get it from b&q or wickes. Best mould spray you can get. Just spray it on and leave it to do what it needs too. Be careful tho as it’s very strong smelling.
Cheers for the tip, we managed to get it on-line in the end 🫶🙌

Were you guys able to cook outside your van in the King Arthur car park in Tintagel? We are currently converting our Van, we will have it almost done when we head out in it for the first time next weekend 🤩 Our first stop is this car park but we will be using our portable gas cooking stove to cook with pans and boil water. Could we use that outside our van in that car park do you reckon? Thanks 🙏 And great vids, we’ve just discovered your channel, good stuff 😊
Cheers Helen…Yeah, I’m sure you’ll be fine in that carpark 🫶🙌
@@OurVanTales ahh thanks for replying, that’s awesome, thanks dude 🤛🏻 Shall certainly be getting it out then to make a celebration cup of tea ☕️
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.
NICE
Great vid again guys, love the deep dive into your local area.
Cheers Danny mate…Are you at VanLove at the weekend?
@@OurVanTales We'll be there, looking forward to catching up.

Great to see you guys out n about,really enjoyable watch…only thing missing was a guest appearance from Derek Acorah 😂
🤣 Now that would have been fun! 🤭🫶
Gorgeous home people xx do you have a shower ? I’m trying to decide on my floor plan for my van (same size) wondering if I can squeeze in a shower (I will be full time)
Thank you. No, we don’t have a fixed internal shower, just a rotating & flexible mixer tap so we can shower off from the beach etc outside the sliding side door. We’ve seen a number of MWB vans with showers of various types so it’s very do-able…Best of luck!
Found it 😂
🤣 Well done…It probably needs a bit of an update as so much changes over time 🤭🫶🙌
Do you have a van tour ? New sub

There's a place up on the sand dunes at Perronporth ... an old church ... and both times I've been up there I've cried just out of the blue ? Also along from Gyllynvase beach at Falmouth there's a beautiful shell grotto in the grounds of Pavilion gardens ,next time your down this way go check them out . Another great vlog guys ,thanks from a rainy Monday morning in Cornwall 😊
Cheers so much…A couple of great tips in there. We’re back in Cornwall in August so we’ll see what we can find 🫶🙌
Awesome again u4
Thanks Pete mate 🫶🙌
Not to get “conspiracy theory” wrong n the viewers but people often live to 140 something in other countries - Mongolia, Peru, Argentina, Iran etc. It’s the “system” of poor food, chemicals, western medicines and the rest we are told that 80-90 is the maximum age that we die early.
We’ve been looking in to this more recently, SO much truth is hidden 🫶🙌
Stunning.
👍🚐🐾😎
🫶🙌
I'm not the only one with a tree hugging other half 😮
🤭 It takes twice as long to walk through the woods right…🫶🙌
Tree huggers live longer and happier lives
also, where you parked and walk down the little alley way, was on my walk back from the church, and saw three figures in black cloaks with what looked like pointy hoods. safe to say, i diverted my walk lol
😳 Don’t blame you! 🤭🫶
been here so many times and the last time i went, i stood in the church graveyard and started crying for no reason
It definitely has an energy about it!
