Good man!! It's a beautiful part of the world, and I think you might need to move there!?! I most certainly intend to move there, so no doubt we'll cross paths at some point bud.

It's lovely over there and I do feel at home there (as can be seen by the repeated visits!). There are plans to pepper the area with solar farms, wind turbines and pylons (plans that are being resisted by the locals), so we must make the most of what we've got there before it's gone. In addition, with possible relaxed green belt planning regs and good internet connectivity now, I can see a large increase in the population of mid Wales soon as many make the move over from the English Midlands. If I was a younger and had less responsibilities, I think I'd head to Shetland Isles, Faroe Isles, Iceland or similar. Cheers.

@skyhill4279 Ай бұрын
Hi Gary, Another fine video from you sir. What size is that gazebo you use? Do you have any problems going on to campsites with a vehicle that is not a proper camper or motorhome? I've seen some videos saying that some campsites don't allow self-build vans or vans like yours or estate cars used to sleep in. I believe some sites don't allow awnings or gazebos, have you came across any of these sites.? Cheers, Sky.
@104s_Unplugged Ай бұрын
Hi Sky - gazebo is 2.5m x 2.5m. Indeed some sites to prohibit car camping and vans (especially sign written ones), but I always check out the terms and conditions of a site before going. Some don't allow gazebos or charge extra for them. Generally I avoid sites like these, but the Durdle Door site is quite strict, so that was the reason I booked the pod when I was there last Winter. Just in case though I do have a small tent that I could set up next to the car - I could sleep in that, or pretend that I am, and stealth it in the motor ;)

Great run down of your set up, good to see the solar is out doing its thing. Interesting the Allpowers unit didn't work out. You mentioned the Hopwinn is 200 odd watts, do you know what size Ah the battery is? Even though i've made my own, I do quite fancy the Ecoflow Delta 2...
@104s_Unplugged Ай бұрын
Perhaps I got a Friday night one, but the Allpowers has been disappointing - not saying all reviews are biased, but perhaps a lesson in not listening too much to YT reviews from folk who've been given stuff for free. The Hopwinn has a 288wh battery - it's Ok, but it's a LiPo (Lithium Polymer) not a LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) so, in theory, not as safe and won't last as long. I too fancy the Ecoflow Delta 2 and a 200w solar panel - with something like that, I could power things like a electric blanket etc. all night.

Nice to hear from you matey! I do take a lot of stuff, but I've never been one to travel light unless I have to! Whether I go away for a couple of days or a couple of weeks, it's all in there - just add food and water. Last winter I did use the site electric hookup and it was great to have a heated throw and electric heater - I was hoping the power station I bought would run the throw on a low setting, but it was useless - I think for this winter, I might go for a decent power station like a EcoFlow Delta 2 instead of buying cheap stuff (having said that, that little power gen and solar panel worked great this time).

I like Burgundy red wines and Cask Ales.I drink them because I like the taste. NOT to get drunk. During the week I usually have alcohol free beers (often brewdog). for me its a case of why are you having a drink? If it's because you NEED a drink , then no. If its because I fancy a drink but it can wait? then yes. I make sure it's not every time I have a drink(the local Spoons knows me more for drinking gallons of coffee rather then beer! lol).
@104s_Unplugged Ай бұрын
Much the same - I do enjoy wine with food and it's been a very long time since I've been drunk. Having said that, I have and still do self-medicate to a certain extent with alcohol to combat stress and anxiety from which I've had plenty of over the years - had I gone to the docs years back, I may well have been prescribed things like Diazepam and/or Lithium so, on balance, I think some alcohol is possibly the lesser evil. All the best and thanks for the interesting comment.

Hi Gary, Well, what can I say, another bit of great escapism from you sir! I take it Mrs 104 was with you on this trip. I tell you what, you don't half live well when you are away, you have it down to a T. I'm heading to the North of the Netherlands towards the end of August and am driving in my Sprinter Traveliner and staying in a campsite. The Sprinter is setup as a "WAV" but I bought a couple of Disc-O-Beds and have the capability for a hookup. I have a couple of single burner gas camping stoves similar to you and electric kettle, toaster, stove top kettle, lights etc. I was thinking of buying a 2 hotplate electric hob to give me the option. Can you recommend any particular ones or types that you would buy yourself please? Keep the videos coming Gary. All the best, Sky.

Hi Sky - I'm moving a few videos over from my other channel, so this one dates back a few years! We'd had a rough few years back then, so quite a bit of drinking and I've lost a few pounds since then!. Sounds a nice roadtrip down through the Netherlands and, as for the hob, I'd go for a dual induction hob with a decent set of induction-compatible pots and pans. Loads on eBay from about £60, but when using, watch the rating of the campsite electric hookup - some are only 5A/6A and a double electic hob can pull 13A on max. All the best.

Just got back this morning from a sunrise walk up Pen y Fan. It must be a year + since I was up there last. The Storey Arms car park has completely changed! I started off just after 3am, 15-20mins later I noticed the first head torch coming out of the carpark below me - no way I was letting them catch me despite my huffing and puffing. There was one chap camping up top, but around 50 people joined me whilst the sun was rising. Back home now after a 4hr drive back. Legs were shaking like a leaf on the way down....I'll be feeling it tomorrow. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but if you do feel the need to delve deeper, look into Sodium Nitrate additive in cured meats. I would still demolish those hotdogs you cooked even with this knowledge. Well done with the weight loss, its hard to get it off. Stay safe up there 👍
