I've just watched all you building videos 10/10 definitely Subscrib 👏

Amazing graham wow

As someone said previously it seems there’s no escape from morons that have to find a problem out of nothing simply to spoil a peaceful night in quiet bit of the countryside

Out of all the UK's national parks the peak district is unfortunately the worst. Not due to a lack of beauty, but due to the problems that almost always arise. People like those you faced in this event are the way they are because they have had bad experiences with campers and other tourists, those few bad apples have made those people be overly guarded and even aggressive to tourists. Then there are the travelers and general criminal scum from nearby cities that go out there just to commit crime, robbing cars and houses making the peak district one of the least safe parks to go visit and camping overnight. Car crime being the biggest problem.

Why is she folding the clothes and putting them in the washer 😂😂😂. Shehas no clue.

I do a bit of wild camping and frankly, this is the only thing that worries me. I’ve never been unlucky so far, but it just proves to me that the only thing to worry about really, is other people 👍

Lots of Fascist types like that live in the Peaks. Im from there. They pretend public paths and public roads are private and deliberately remove and obscure signs. They even build on and gate off public areas. Nothing is really done about it. I would suggest sending gps coordinates and photo evidence of such areas to the relevant authorities and post about it on Rambler Community forums. Ramblers have more clout that van lifers.

said it loads of times, go back to when i was younger (25years ago) camping caravaning etc was for people who enjoyed outdoor life etc. now its full of either middle class twats who want to "have a cheeky cheap break away" or chavs who again use it for an excuse to go and have a piss up loud music get away all on the cheap. this drives up the cost for the normal people who used to go camping. and then drives locals (as you seen) to get pissed off with people who do not cause any issues because they have had issues in the past with either campers/campercaners etc. shame really people started influencing it as its opened up a world people didnt know existed untill covid happened and they couldnt get away abroad and had to stay in the uk.

Did you seriously just refer to your child as "Maximus" multiple times?

Keep enjoying that freedom.

What I have most enjoyed about your trip is that you have shown us the side roads and little places that are not on the tourist map, and so we see sites and places not frequented by the "mobs" and which are far more interesting ! 💙🦋

caught me there, Graham. I didnt realise you'd changed the name of the channel lol. That was a lovley area you visited to explore duiring the day and your night parkup was beautiful too. great video which I enjoyed very much. Much respect🙏-Kenny

Its good to see your son wasn’t too affected by it the following day 😊

You didn't actuallt say what their problem with you was. It was hard to see, however it looked like the nasty people lived close to where you parked?? Anyway Im sorry for the experience you had. Also just a friendly word, regarding your childs privacy I dint think you need to mention " his meds" for the world to know about. Safe travels and hugs from Downunder ❤

comes at you with an aggressive dog and agressive stance Sorry you should have reacted more, Being nice while you your family potentially in danger wont work.

There we go again, another useless video.

Might go and stay there now, just to piss them off.

What a wonderful place to spend some time! That lake looked refreshing!!

I think the attitude to people with campers is generated by a certain Irish community that dont give a shit about anybody or the law.

Instinctively you want to standup for yourself and defend your rights . As a woman that’s what I would do . But !!! I don’t want my children to be a reflection of my behaviour. So Changing my mentality and not let other peoples bad behaviour affecting my inner peace. silence is the best way to protect intellectual integrity , the intelligent people do not need approval, to know their value. My grandmother used to say the backside is yet the best answer . They hate when you nod , they hate the silence . Walking away is the best solutions . For van life never open the door , getting a loud siren 🚨to be placed out side the van , aswell as Floodlights around the van . Not draw attention. Plenty of other safety tips on KZbin and safe van life . Nice family by the way

He was very lucky you were so calm a lot of my van life friends would have gladly given him a hiding

Lucky he wasnt picking his teeth up off the floor. Some peoole are grate A morons. Case in point.

If it takes 16 minutes to get to the point of this video perhaps title it something else.

Oh my goodness what a stunning waterfall and such a pretty walk - glad you were doing the climbing for us 😂 Freya really enjoyed her swim with you guys. You seem to be having some lovely sunny weather lately on this trip. Nice to see Michelle having a dip too. What an idyllic spot that last camp site was ! 🦋

There are some strange people out there !!!

wow, what a beautiful and glorious area and great drone work too. You'll have to teach me how to fly Doris lol. good to see Freya getting in on the fun too!. Loved the video as I've loved you guys finally getting Wolfie to where he was meant to take you. Much respect as always🙏-Kenny

What a shame you had to experience that. God bless, keep safe

should show his face to world

I live in macclesfied and worked i Rainow think i know the couple who bothered you its a shame i had a friend who lived there to they are nice people as i know but if he was under the influence he could get difficult and a bit of the odd couple but thats as much as i should say sorry you had this problem we are not all like this and the village pub would have welcomed your visit the next day should you have stayed

Knock back

I would genuinely share their faces, if they’re happy to do that to a family in a van on a public road then they should be shown and shamed for it. Utterly disgusting and entitled behaviour. You have every right to park there as long as the vehicle is road legal.

seems like a scene out of the old Clint Eastwood move, glad you stood your ground that man is dangerous, and you were in control, he is a flake and you might have just saved your families life. The man and woman were very wrong and this could have ended up bad, you were in the right, next time call police but her pics of those two. and any details

I do agree with you ,but you sound like you can be very aggressive yourself .

Defiantly should of called the police mate sorry but if you don't give him a crack then the police is the next best thing, especially with his wife threatening with a dog.

Hi mate enjoyed watching your vids , would you consider building 2 pods for me and how much if so i have same van

Don't feel ill about losing your cool, i wouldn't even call it that whatsoever; you were not losing your cool, you were protecting your family and you did so much more reasonably than most would have. It's a true and great shame that these people acted like this for no reason and they had no right. They are incredibly lucky that you blurred out their identities, they invaded your privacy and space and should have had the same done to them.

Gosh the Rock Orchestra was quite something ! Loved the art gallery too and the beautiful autumn trees in the beginning. What a great Birthday treat, you are spoilt Michelle. Here's wishing you an awesomagical year ahead 💙🦋

🤗🤗🤗 Hi God bless to you and you're family 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

What to do ? A straight right !

Some people just think they own everything. I wouldn't have bothered interacting with them, better to just drive off, one of the big benefits of van life.

You state you try to stay away from people and then park your van at the end of someone's driveway. I wouldn't have come out, I would have called the police to come have you move. In the UK, people who don't own property feel free to park, walk, cycle on property that someone else owns and pays taxes on. People who own homes, worked to pay for them and your need to camp on their doorstep should not be tolerated. Find a camper park so others don't feel threatened in the homes they bought and paid for. You shouldn't be camping on public roads either, what craziness is this?

I love the scenery 😍 what a beautiful place ,especially at this time of year ❤.Looks like you both had a great night 🎉😊

I think you showed great restraint . You don’t look like a small bloke so I’m sure you can handle yourself . I know for a fact I would have gone ballistic . I know these people prob get annoyed at people parking close by where they live and making noise . But you can’t bang on peoples doors in middle of the night . Where they feel vulnerable Could have ended up very nasty . So you did very well diffusing the situation .

Poor max, you dealt with it better than I would have, love from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤

Arrrh, Rainow, I remember it well. I used to live on a farm in Rainow, going back a few years. But I came home after 3 years, after being beaten up by 2 Macclesfield lads for being a Southener 😢

He would have got a good hiding no danger

A very very bright flash light in the eyes would have been a good start when you opened the door.

You definitely didn't deserve to be spoken to in that way - especially around your wife and young fellow. I think you handled the old coot rather well. The way he stood there, eyes bulging, swearing and carrying on like an overgrown toddler, all because you weren't intimidated by his equally rude and bullying cow of a wife! It's a PUBLIC ROAD FFS! They don't own the bloody thing. And he's screaming about you "disrespecting my wife" while screaming and swearing abuse in front of a child is rather ironic. You shouldn't have had to move, but you did the right thing for Maximus, and that's all that really matters. He needs to see his dad being the strong protector he needs, not two grown men coming to blows. Extremely well handled. Me, on the other hand? This 5ft 6 , 60kg middle aged woman, would've got out and put him on his ass! Taekwondo lessons as a kid still come in handy sometimes! 😁 Sending love to yourselves and Maximus, all the way from Australia. 😘💖🇭🇲

i've a 1000w inverter, just like this, also Renogy. I use it for it's UPS function in a custom built generator. Can i too also benefit from this bonding?
