2 GIRLS.. ONE CAMPERVAN.. IT CAN BE A STRUGGLE! (Van Life - Wales)

• A FRENCH DISASTER.. tr...
We have spoken many times in the past that van life isn't always easy, and right here in the UK is where we find it the hardest of all, we explain why in this weeks video.
Wales really is a beautiful country, we visit devils bridge and it's waterfall, ride on the vale of Rheidon valley steam train, visit some mines and find some of the best wild camping stealth park ups for a van we have been to so far.
Hopefully you are enjoying this UK travel series as much as we are and we are managing to show you just some of the stunning landscapes that Wales has to offer in this Welsh travel vlog.
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, some cinematic scenery mixed with our usual female van life foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!
Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempt to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home.

Evening all, hope you are having a great weekend! We have had a fantastic time here in Wales, the scenery is ridiculous!! We don’t have much time to explore properly as Emily has a long overdue challenge we need to get to, but we can definitely say that we will be back to properly tour it some time soon! Have you done Wales before? Is it on your list? If not it flippin’ well should be!! 😀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@timsands7288]

Haven't been to Devils Bridge which looked amazing. Recognised it from the BBC dark police series Hinterland where it was a murder scene :) . Another great video: drone seemed to be working overtime

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

I have been a couple of times to the Abersoch and surrounding area. Sailing and cycling. Need to get back and explore more. It is busy at the main holiday times, so for me it would be an early or later season destination. Outside the July to Sept anyhow.

[@philipbutcher1971]

When you do go back to wales Go to Snowdon You can either walk up and down the mountain or walk up and take the train back down or take the train up and walk back down or like I did several years ago take the train up there is a cafe at the top fresh pasties cakes hot and cold drinks and take the the train back down. It would be advisable to book well in advance as it is very popular also several miles to the the north west the isle of Anglesey there is a military base and they fly these amazing helicopters over the snowdon area and also do regular training near the mountain as part of the mountain rescue which I saw when I was there. Also there is a hydro dam inside another part of the snowdon area which I did not get to go inside as we were behind time getting there so we didn’t have time to do that before our booked train up the mountain. I really enjoyed it even though it was a bit misty at the top the day I went up there but on a clear day you will be able to see miles away.

[@paulriggers1558]

Hi drew, we are so so sorry for your loss! Megan’s comments always made us smile. We know that there’s no words we can possibly offer right now, if there’s anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to ask. Again, deeply sorry. Sending love, Lou, Emily, AJ and summer.

Great Walsh video really enjoyed seeing the waterfall & bridges, we'll have to go thanks for showing it to us.

Yeah but dodge at times for sure, was a nice walk

I know that what you do must be hard work... i know we get to see you visiting pretty places and seemingly having an on-going holiday... but having been a youtuber in the past i do know how long it takes to film, edit and upload... and i didn't have to worry about internet or where to sleep at night! Just remember you need time for yourselves too, don't push yourselves into making videos if it impacts on your lives too much or on your relationship. We like your videos very much and think you two are just the best!

You four are brilliant.. having lived on the coast of south west Wales, I know how incredibly beautiful it is. Now I’m living on the Kent coast, beautiful too but parts of Wales are just breathtaking. Thanks again for the giggles, facts and locations. 🙏👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁

[@campervibe]

So true they really do take your breath away

[@ezioauditore3128]

You're a Gower fan then. So am I - off to Rhossili tomorrow :) It was voted best beach in the world on Trip Advisor a few years back. I'm lucky I live in Swansea.

[@tracymac1111]

@@ezioauditore3128 I’m selling my house in Kent and moving to Swansea. My daughter has lived there for years and loves it.. obviously I’ve been many times and used to live in cardigan so know west Wales very well. Swansea has a very good future. I’m looking forward to moving there. I’m looking for some property or storage. Maybe rent for a while. Any tips on property in Swansea would be much appreciated. Mumbles is fantastic I have many photos of us there…out of my price range for buying. I would love to live in a van, not sure that’s doable for me.

[@ezioauditore3128]

@@tracymac1111 West is best in Swansea, Tracy - but you'll pay higher prices than East or North. I live on the marina which is close to the beach. I also like Sketty and Killay. Good luck.

[@ILikeThatchannel]

That brought back some great memories we were there 4 years ago for 2 weeks, loved it but chickened out on the steep bit coz our Dobie freaked. Lovely to see it again thank you 🙏

[@campervibe]

It is a scary part for sure

[@gillosborne9516]

Don’t apologise for your video being “a bit rough”. It’s not. Your filming is fantastic and you capture the scenery beautifully.

Thanks Gill

I'm so pleased Summer got to get out and have a good time. Its lovely in Wales I used to live there, it's so special. I'm watching all the adverts all the way through, I hope that helps you. Have a great time all of you.

Yeah she is alright most of the time 😂

Omg. I have been to Devils Bridge!!!! Back when my husband took me places 😀 Its amazing. Absolutely beautiful . Love your video,s. Videoagraphy is incredible. You girls are the best. Thank you so much. X

Thank you so much for sharing your experience in Wales it certainly is beautiful, I really felt I was travelling with you I’m 73 so no way could I have done those steps so you sharing ment I could see everything thank you . You two are my favourites 😊

[@campervibe]

Glad we could show you Christine 😀😀

[@matthewvaughan6327]

Campsites can be pricey. The most expensive we found was £60 per night in Poole. Needless to say we didn't bother and stayed in a layby down the road and did the old leisure centre trick for a shower. Great video as usual.

[@campervibe]

Wow that is expensive

[@Flessy89]

I love that you show you're working and the animals plus doing little solo adventures like its so normal I frigging love seeing it

[@campervibe]

As usual Louise and Emily super enjoyable, feel I came along with you. Ha ha cats timing in their litter boxes, in our house more often than not it's when we eat! X..

Hey you two 😀😀

[@TheMrWoodsman]

Guys your videos are awesome, so professional and a pleasure to watch. Xx

[@ArianneAvalon]

We spent a lot of time in Scotland last year. We hadn't been there long when we parked up in a layby for a night on a very busy road (but needs must sometimes).At dusk loads of pine martens came out of the hedgerows and played around our motorhome for most of the night. It was pure magical. We were so enchanted we went back the following week and we saw a few again but several were laid dead because they run in front of cars. The night in the layby was horrendous toi with lorry drivers blowing horns all night long. This year we are wardening in North Wales and not seen a lot of it but plenty of wildlife. Park ups for motorhomes far and few between with lots of height barriers and anti social locals. Back to scotland next year me thinks!! Great video though girls. I love a waterfall.

[@campervibe]

That sounds really lovely 😊

[@philgreenough9730]

Fabulous photography, girls making full use of the glorious Welsh countryside, keep up the great work. Kudos for climbing those steps, I was knackered watching you. 👏👍

Such beautiful views and landscapes up North

[@tonysutton6559]

We've camped at the sailing club Clywedog a number of times. The club is at the bottom of a long, steep hill and once we had a massive storm on the nght before we left. I didn't know but my boat cover was leaking and my Mirror dinghy was half full of water. As a result, we were 2/3rds of the way up the the hill when our VW T25 started going backward. Nothing would hold it; the foot brake, hand brake and gears did nothing and my wife was screaming about saving the dog. Fortunately my friends son had wanted to travel with us and he leapt out to grab rocks off a dry stone wall to pot under the wheels and saved the day.
