Anglesey 2021 Vlog 18 Llanddona Beach, Beaumaris, Penmon Point

[@sarahstrong7174]

Some of the car parks in the South-Hams, Devon, have changed the rules recently & some of them now allow overnight camping.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That’s good to hear. Would love to explore more of Devon in the little red camper 🙂

Thank you for taking me with you ! I loved it !🙂🙂

Thank you so much Willie, that’s a great compliment ❤️

[@Jackie-hb9hr]

Still bingeing your videos. Loved the drone shots over the lighthouse in this one, and you can't beat fish finger butties. So annoying for you to pay extra because you are a campervan. Doesn't seem right, the little redvan didn't take up any extra space than a car 🚗 !!

We were at penmon on Sunday to watch the sunset. Magical place and the little cafe there is terrific.

Totally agree Mark. Glad you were able to enjoy it.

Enjoying this series of videos and the lovely places to explore. Apart from one or two obvious places Anglesey was always on the way from Holyhead to somewhere else for us. Lots of parking restrictions being introduced here in Ireland in recent weeks particularly on the West Coast. As a group we are becoming 'persona non grata' :-(

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It’s bugging me being charged a different price to a car driver for the exact same product. Our van is smaller than many cars.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

A lot of the restaurants are operating on restricted menus and what we did notice is they all seem to be struggling to get staff.

[@alanjackson4646]

That was a slurry tanker, liquid effluent sprayer, Silage is fermented hay in solid form. No flies on that car park attendant, “it’s the top that gives it away” !! I just love a fish finger butty. That looked a good park up for £10. What do they charge for a 7 seater SUV ? Great vlog. Regards from a hot Solent Coast. AJ

[@desmondyoung5963]

Five pounds for the night is a bargain, compaired to camp sites. the area still has to be maintained and someone has to pay for it. Good blogs I look forward to them.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We didn’t mind paying the overnight charge but why is the entry charge more for a small van than a car? Thanks for watching 🙂

[@YDysgwrAraf]

Mrs yDysgwrAraf always makes a point of complaining that our van (a converted people carrier) has a smaller footprint than very many (most?) family tents, yet the majority of campsites will charge us more because, well, motorhomes.

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Hello Ken and Carol great video some beautiful spots love Beaumaris castle you will be getting used to the narrow lanes now and the steep hills there were lots where I grew up they always had the sign that said 1in 5 on with a black triangle on its side :) what you were smelling was slurry growing up on a farm you do get used to it hahahaha silage smells quite nice I used to love that time of year cutting and hauling the silage with the old tractors you never forget those farm smells :) Have a great weekend as always take care .

The hill didn't even look steep so just shows how the camera doesn't always pick things up. The most we've done is 25% and coming down is even worse! Beautiful scenery. You captured it well.

Thanks. We are just thankful we didn’t meet another vehicle head on going up that steep part 😄

[@roaminginraymond]

@@LifeistooshortCK don't blame you, especially being single track too. Really tight single track roads are always a bit scary, especially when the hedges are high as you just can't see what's coming and any other traffic can't either!

[@alansdorsetfossils4028]

another great video by you two. The filming as always is great, and the music too. I have a Berlingo with a camping pod from Amdro its good but its more work to make up your bed at the end of the day. The diesel Berlingo is a 1600 peugeot engine and very impressive. I get the feeling from you guys that the Nissan engine is perhaps a little under powered. I believe its only 1400cc is that right.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It’s a 1.5 diesel. A couple of times on very steep hills I have felt it could only just cope. Having said that the wheels can often spin if you put your foot down to pull out quickly.

[@helenb963]

[@getawaygeese]

Good audio pick up on that seagull splat lol. We have been at Anglesey a few times and you show us much we haven’t seen which just shows you need to spend a lot of time in one place to see it all …. There is a lesson there. Never understand the charge for a campervan - I get it if it takes more than a single space for a car - they just put labels on rules. Great video shots as ever guys showing your life …. Loved the end edit and music

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That was a lucky escape from the seagull bombing. We realised on our Ireland trip that there is always much more to see in an area than you expect 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@stevezodiac491]

Talking about lighthouses, went to see the very old 1674 private lighthouse at flamborough head yesterday, near the modern Trinity House one. Never used though, because passing shipping wouldn't pay the expected fees for this commercial venture. Before these early private lighthouses and the formation of Trinity House, there were only ecclesiastical warning lights but they were abruptly halted by Henry 8th after the dissolution, only put right by the foundation of Trinity House by the same rotund fellow in 1514 by Royal charter.

[@michaelclay6278]

Love your vids. Think there very well filmed. Have you two ever thought of getting a bigger van . Maybe one with a toilet/shower and a permanent bed. It would make life a lot easier.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That all depends on what you’re actually trying to do with the van. Our aim is to go to any place we want and park even in the tiniest of spaces. We don’t want to have to use any campsites or make any bookings. So whilst a big van would of course be very comfortable it wouldn’t give us the freedom we have with this tiny little red camper.

I think some councils are taking advantage. You should only have to pay for the space you are using in the car park depending on your size.

It was the same £5 per day, for our car.

I really enjoy watching your lives in your little red van. When will a big red van arrive although with the width of those roads it could be a better sticking with what you have.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I seriously doubt there will be a big red van any time soon as the more we use the little red camper the deeper we fall in love with it. The challenges of living in such a small space is all part of the fun.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Bruno 👍🙂

[@nigeldavey1043]

Thanks both. You've made the perfect end to the best day I've had in probably about five years. That was such a beautiful and relaxing run through a very picturesque corner of Anglesey. I have been out all evening for the first time in nearly eighteen months with old work colleagues that basically I hadn't seen for nigh on forty years. So I've just watched your latest blog at midnight instead of my usual book at bedtime. I think Carol is extremely tolerant not to chase you round the van after showering her with dust from the mats. If you haven't worked it out already, she's definitely a keeper. When you were a member of the Constabulary, would I be right in assuming you were T division? I know that anyone who was in the job continues to drive the way they were instructed at Hendon or wherever but I know also that those who spent most of their time in traffic manage that with more precision than the rest of us. Your voiceovers often seem to reflect the advanced training instructors methods. And yes as a grade 6 in the HO I had to do the ruddy lot before I was able to take my own pool car out without a chauffeur. Good to get an insight into what using a drone for the vidz entails too.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Good to hear you have been out enjoying yourself. Excellent. Never worked on T but did lots of different roles over the years. From the beat, response, CID, then up the greasy pole. I enjoyed my driving course and enjoy using the system of driving still. It keeps me relaxed. A viewer asked me to give driving tips so I am trying it. If everyone drove to the system traffic would flow much easier. I will just pass on the odd bit now and then if the opportunity arises. 👍

[@nigeldavey1043]

@@LifeistooshortCK agreed. I enjoyed the courses immensely back in the day. Especially pursuit and capture avoidance and the skid pan stuff. I think it simulated these days though, not quite so much fun if you know you can't really come a cropper. Civilian driving instruction and test still leaves a lot to be desired though ( says the man who now routinely drives an automatic). 🙂

[@SilvertopMotorhomers]

Excellent video here guys. Some of my old stomping grounds here. Llandonna beach is a one way system down and then around and up till you get to the junction near the church. At the start of the video, did you stay in the same place as Stephen did when he started his odyssey? Love Beaumaris and always used to take the kids crabbing when they were young. We had hours of fun. The Fish n Chip shop under the archway serves the most exquisite fare if a bit on the dear side. Looking forwards to the next video in the series. All the best from Mal, Fave and Sally the Lab aka The SilvertopMotorhomers x What can I say about Penmon. Beautiful, windswept but expensive to park.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes I think they charge £10 for a motorhome going in and another £10 coming out apparently. A lot of people on Park4Night say you are not allowed to camp there. I would imagine the council would charge a lot for a proper campsite.

[@johnallen148]

Hi guys that was a very interesting blog you drone shots are great ,£5 a night that’s cheap as chips lol you little camper van looks real homely ,bit hot this weather though I see you have two fans ,really enjoyed this blog have subscribed to your channel so till next time take care keep safe, John 🥵🥵🇬🇧👀🥂🌹🌈🌈

You do find sone beautiful places. I fell in love with Anglesey. As you drove up to Penmon Point , the lay-by on the right is where I spent a night. I met a couple who had been staying there for years!! I turned around at the entrance to PP and they thought I was driving in, I was only asked to pay £1! I don’t think they thought my NV was a camper, possibly as the roof is the same colour as the body? Totally unfair to charge you £5, what if that was your only vehicle? I would have debated this.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I could’ve debated it with him but then that would probably have just ended up making both of us angry and I can just do without that hassle. and I always get to tell you good people what the experience was like

[@oldaircraftguy8844]

Enjoyed your trip around Anglesey. We live in Cornwall so we are no strangers to narrow and winding roads. We have contimplated getting some sort of camper van but we have a problem finding a 4 seat camper van with 4 compliant seat belts ( no company will fit additional seat belts where none were not previously fitted, they are not considered compliant). Grandchildren may be using a tent but must have effective seat belts. Any ideas?

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Sussex Campervans have larger models that have 4 seated belts. Our van has 4 as well but I wouldn’t want to be a back seat passenger on a long trip. Our rear seat is too upright for comfort 👍

Sadly that seems the trend in lots of places around England and Wales. The increase in popularity of motorhomes and campervans because of not being able to travel freely abroad has just made the situation worse 🙁

[@YDysgwrAraf]

As with anything, regulations and restrictions are brought in to reflect the behaviour of the worst, not the best. Sadly that's the way it has to be. For every respectful leave-no-tracer like Ken and Carol, there is at least one and possibly more someone-else-will-clear-it-upper, and we all have to pay for their freeloading.

[@normawilkinson3642]

We just arrived here today and we was charge £10.00 to park and if we stayed the night another £10.00 when we leave in the morning. That’s a 100 percent increase. Not a bad earner for them. There was no dog waste bins or anywhere to put your rubbish in. Spent 2 hours picking up litter and the amount of dog bags just left lying around. Found a dirty babies nappy also.Come on people just leave footprints

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It’s almost like they are running a campsite without providing any services to support it.

[@melvyncrimlis8997]

Charging campervans more for parking seems to be a trend in Wales. We came across it for the first time this year when we stayed near New Quay. Our VW T6 is only the size of a large estate car, but the charges, when we were graciously allowed to park, were often double. Needless to say that we moved on. So the traders, shopkeepers, restaurant owners etc weren't able to benefit from our custom. We gave Cardigan and New Quay a miss. We did manage to park in Aberystwyth however and made use of the National Trust car parks to visit the coast and beauty spots. I don't object to parking charges but I do object to the blatant discrimination and profiteering. What I wonder do locals do if their only vehicle is a campervan? I must say it took a bit of the shine off the holiday. We'd been to Tewkesbury earlier in the year and not found the same issue.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I agree I don’t object to a charge but I do object to one different to what everybody else has to pay for the same service

Cheers Lee, you too mate and keep on building that layout 😁👍

I thought the roads in Ireland were narrow but these were ridiculous. Lol.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Just as narrow as some we encountered in Ireland, Larry 🙂

[@lcook0825]

@@LifeistooshortCK lol. I didn’t dare rent a car when I was in Ireland between the narrow roads and driving on the left. I’d be dangerous.

What engine does the Little Red Camper have in it?

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It’s a 1.5 dCi 6 speed manual 110hp

[@GH02-o_o]

I had the same reaction to the Penmon Point toll troll too... he seems to have something against people with camper vans; he might do well to be a little more gracious when some-one is handing money over. I won't go there again, there are better places that are free.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I can’t disagree 👍

[@tman5634]

We paid the same for the car & if staying over the night, it works out at £10 which is for nothing, given the views & location.

Don't blame the dogs for the blockade, twas the humans that stopped 😒 Nowt wrong with the smell of good auld muck spreading, helps your veggies grow 😁

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I love dogs as you will see in the next video, my comment was directed at the owners. The smell of Muck is okay but holding your breath whilst flying a drone is a challenge.

@@LifeistooshortCK lol, yes it can be over powering but I grew up on farms so used to it. Look forwards to your next vlog, thank you 😃

And did you get away with it?Or did you get moved on?

You’ll have to wait and see in the next episode Helen 😉😀👍

Good show Carol and Ken - I especially likes the tour through Beaumaris and Penmon Point. Odd to hear you comment about "coming out" of the lockdown. In the states, I thought we were as well but now I am not so sure. With a delta variant, those folks not with a shot are catching it and the numbers are up in many, many states. I usually take a mask with me whenever I go out and use it at indoor situations.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

it’s the same here in the UK however vast swathes of the population have had one jab and a large number have had two. The way our government keep flip-flopping though is embarrassing.

Trwyn Du = Troin Dee - It literally means black nose, but it's obviously being used figuratively here. Du / Dee is where the family name comes from. Trace the ancestors of the entertainer Jack Dee, for example, and you'll almost certainly eventually come across a dark-haired Welshman.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Very interesting info 🙂👍

[@patrickwatters7555]

It's a limit not a target.

[@grahamhardyvanlife5704]

Your little 95bhp engine can't handle that 35% grade lol.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It needs a run up and ours is the 110bhp version 😱

[@elizabethwilliams1523]

How did your red camper cope with steep road down to Llanddona beach. I've drove down and ba do up that hill once. NEVER again!!!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We encountered two awful hills on this trip. This video has one and there is another to come. 😁👍

[@jennyturner6399]

I love your videos but I do worry when I see you park up somewhere quiet and remote, stupid I know as; 1) you have long left and 2) you obviously know what you are doing. 🧶🌈🍓

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for your concern Jenny. We are always very careful in choosing a spot to spend the night and if it doesn’t feel right we move on 🙂
