@@TristandKez There certainly will be more! We woke up next to Mablethorpe beach, Lincs, and walked the beach at 6am! We arrived late and didn't really know where we were but turns out we picked a good place ...there were even public loos there, and open, free and clean, very bizarre it was! Cheers 🙏

Great tips as always. You really don't like to sleep 'on the huh' as we say in Norfolk, do you? I'm in a microcamper/car set up so no room for chocks. When you were talking about breakdown cover it got me curious, how do you cope with not having a permanent address? Obviously, you don't need the 'home start' option, but what about other situations where you'd need an address? Or do you just use Trist's dad? Seems like he deserves his own episode, you've got us curious.The New Forest is awesome. I had a great study trip there as part of my work with National Parks learning about their ponies and going to a sale and to one of the commoners houses. Really interesting and unique set-up.

Thanks Lottie. Haha there a few people we’d contact but wanted to see if my dad watches these videos. We are in love with the new forest. We still have so much more to learn about the place and the animals. We still can’t believe you only have to walk a short distance to be in peace and quiet. Hope you having an aeration Sunday 😎🤙

Funny seeing your reaction to being on your own without Kez. and vlogging on your own. Were you slightly unravelling? haha. I think it's really good to have time away from your partner every so often, otherwise you can end up losing yourself a little bit and becoming too reliant on another person. It also gives you something to catch up on when you get back together and you appreciate each other more. I've been single for years and absolutely love being on my own, so it wouldn't faze me at all, but I know it's not for everyone. By the way, background ambient lift music, hilarious.

@RiddimKingdom11 күн бұрын
Done vanlife full time for 5-6 weeks now and *luckily* only had two poor experiences. One guy off his face on whatever substance who just climbed in when we had the door open on a (rare) hot day. That was scary. And then one person who came over and said “DID YOU SLEEP HERE? Where did you go to the toilet?!!” I said “are you a police officer?” They said they weren’t but it was their business. I said “call them then, I’d be happy to show them my van credentials and onboard toilet”. They keep rabbiting on and I said cheekily “you really live up to the reputation of miserable whiny Brits that have nothing better to do but complain” and shut my doors and pulled my curtains. Miserable old 🐮.
@TristandKez10 күн бұрын
Hey, congratulations on your first few weeks of vanlife 😎🤙🏼. That first experience is a little nuts. We had something odd at a park up where a big dog came running into our van as we had the door open on a hot day. Frank was not happy and it all went a little nuts. The owner ran over, did a weird laugh and they both went off 🤷♂️. People having a word is just that. Smile and keep on trucking. It's hard to have a go at someone who is smiling and non-aggressive. You can't please everyone in life.

As i'm new to this, and yet to venture out in my Berlingo with bootjump onto the wildside, mainly due to lack of facts . Only done campsites so far. Can I clarify, how do you know if Local Authority has implemented a ban such as New Forest. I live in Devon nr Plymouth on edge of Dartmoor, I know Dartmoor is a no go area, and rightly so. But say I'm driving down a lovely coastal road and come across nice peaceful lay by, and no signage, can I stay here legally overnight, or as ive mentioned how would i know there is a Local Authority ban in area. Great video, great content, great approach, and I certainly agree, hit them with kindness / smile approach is so much more rewarding and successful than yelling approach.
@TristandKez7 күн бұрын
This is a great question and one I don’t think has a clear answer. Which maybe part of the wider issue. In a lot of places if people or local authorities don’t want you there they will put signs up more often than not. I guess our advice would be to take a good look around the spot you want to park up in. Are there signs? Will you be obstructing or blocking any traffic of any sort? Take a look at Park4Night and Search for Sites to see if anyone has left comments regarding ‘no overnighting’ etc. Then make a personal choice on how comfortable you feel. Even without signs, someone may have an issue and that might just be a personal one. A lot of times most people don’t care and want to carry on with their lives 😎🤙
