What a fab year you have had camping wise. Nick, you have been my inspiration to lose a tremendous amount of weight and go camping with my little Caretta and go hiking again despite my knee. So a massive thank you. You are an inspiration to this country by making us discover some fabulous places through your adventures. And thank you for helping me with the measurements of the Portico. Take care.

We’ve done 3 trips in our base camp and done 3 sites that you have recommended. We’re really enjoying it. We’re getting to know the pros and cons now of the base camp. We have found your KZbin channel invaluable. Many thanks Lee and Mandy 😊

Fascinating mini review / update of your experiences and lessons learned so far. You’re so right that as we all gain more experience by using our vans we modify where we go, what we do and what we take in or attach to the van. Having been a subscriber since the early days of your channel, I have noticed the considerable improvements in the quality of your vlogs and your cinematography skills 👍 In June this year I went back to a caravan, a 2 berth. I love the Basecamp 2 but I sort of felt it might not provide enough room for me and the 3 dogs (rightly or wrongly!). So my caravan is bigger for that reason but who knows in the future 😊. I’d like to thank you for providing the inspiration through your adventures and destinations which have and will shape my own adventures. Keep up the cracking work Nick. As always I shall be waiting eagerly for your next adventure. Cheers 👍

What’s the range of the Audi when towing, vs solo?

I'm just dipping my toe (tow LOL) into caravanning and appreciate all the videos you post - great quality and you can see your developing experiences too. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic scenery shots.

As always a great watch. We have been wondering where to go next year and have never been to the Yorkshire Dales but you have wetted our appetite!

Another great video. Although I’m biased as a Yorkshireman, it really does look stunning on film.

As always Nick, I didn’t want the vlog to finish? Stunning presentation as always, along with a gorgeous walk. The dogs bring something to your vlogs, which is personal and lovely. Sound quality is so good. Another place on my list to visit now 😩 Have you ever thought about a trip to the south east Nick? Thank you doesn’t seem enough for the time you must spend prepping these vlogs, but thank you anyway. Just outstanding ❤️

Beautifully made video, thank you 😊

Generic caravan/camper problems... not unique to the the Base Camp.

Well, that’s blown the “it’s grim oop north” saying out of the water. Lovely vlog as usual.

Been here, loved the video. Thank you

Thank you 😍

Absolutely class. Thanks nick.

Absolutely stunning vlog Nick the Yorkshire Dales are another bucket list Area for us to visit. Beautiful scenery and the site looked amazing. Looked like the weather was not too bad also. Superb mate 👍🏻

I have always liked the look of these vans How strong are the bunk beds are they strong enough for adults

Great to watch as per and the Basecampy bits aren't that bad either 😉

My favourite Vlog. Thinking of getting a base camp myself. Very informative, great scenery, history and campsite info.

Yet another superb Vlog Nick. Your introduction commentary and imagery was superb. Certainly a stunning walk/hike you put together too👍. Lovely to see the 2 Cockers striding out with their “dads” on the walk. As ever, thanks for the time taken to create your vlog and sharing with us 👍

Absolutely stunning location. How come dogs are not allowed to roam free where you were walking?

Great Vlog 👍I’m sure our first ever caravan trip was Howgill Lodge in the late 70’s. It was just a sloping grass field back then as I recall. 🤔

with every new video i am getting more and more "jealous" of the beautiful landscape you are showing us ;-) thank you for sharing!

Another great video 😉👍

Very useful information thank you 😊

As always Nick, thank you for your efforts on this vlog. Gorgeous photography and it looked like a wonderful weekend. I visited there with the scouts from London - 57 years ago and I still remember how magical the place was. I plan to do this trip next year, but once again, thank you. Fantastic film ❤️

The reason the caravan is often resold is the shock of new owners when they discover the complicated process of packing, hooking up the vehicle, and moving the vehicle.

Hi, i bought a 2020 base Camp a great little caravan. Have just come back from Northumberland quick brake for 4 days. Although i can answer this question i think. When i first took it out for the first time i could not sleep in it and wondered why????? Second time i realised why. The level of fire retardent in the upholstery was making my skin itch and burn!!!! Once i had changed the upholstery ( swapped from my old Bailey) and cleaned the whole interior Twice!! with Bicarbonate of soda and Vinegar + then Soap and water. Got rid of it all, GREAT some people cannot deal with this stuff that is forced upon us ( none smokers).

Can I ask what app you use to sort your hikes please. Love all your videos. Thanks.

How beautiful is that stunning scenery 🤩I can only imagine you thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing🙏

Thinking about going for one of these. Is the front table big enough to eat a meal on in the van or is there another solution?

I don't mind simplicity, but curtains to the windows wouldn't hurt 😏😏

This might be your best one yet. Great location and great camera work.

Morning Nick fantastic video we are there on Monday quick question from the lake which road did you use to get to the site I can see on google there is a choice of 2 but both seen to have single track thanks in advance

I have been watching your series of Basecamp adventures since the very first time you picked up the caravan, I don't usually comment on videos but keep up the good work! I have two cocker spaniels, and always makes me smile when you give your girl a treat!

Excellent video…beautifully photographed 👏👏👏👏

can Isay that I have enjoyed your 2 year reflections, me and the other half have been lookind at one today and you have helped gratley

Nice practical, simple van, but £23,000 + geez......!

Wonderful Nick. Thank you. And now I too have a BC2, I can relate to your content even more (so don't part ex it just yet... 😉)

Another lovely vid Nick - always like to see what ‘the dog’ is up to! Mine is also a bed snatcher! 😂

Another superb vlog Nick. Im sitting in the basement at the moment watching it lol. I worked in Blaenau Ffestiniog years ago at the Hydro powerstation working inside the huge pipes that take water from the upper reservoir. When i arrived in the area I couldn’t believe the height of waste slate heeps. I actually looked at that site for next year but i’m looking for fully serviced pitches. It’s a stunning area around there. Can’t imagine how hard that work was. Welsh and Scottish slate was the best in the world at one time.

Another great video thanks. Which app are you using to plan your walks ?

Yet another outstanding run away…..brilliant episode.

Thank you once again Nick for all the effort you put into making these videos. I overlook the Malvern Hills which makes a great back drop to the morning cuppa, you should try them out one day, there is a Caravan & Motorhome Club site close by.

Nice one Nick, thankyou 👌
