Basecamp 2 - Welsh Winter Adventure

In this adventure, we return to the northern tip of Anglesey. Pitching up once again at Gadly's Touring Park in Cemaes we face into the wet, cold and windy weather of the British winter. During our time on the island, we discover the Copper Kingdom of Amlwch, hike of on the storm battered footpaths, visit operational lighthouses and the maritime history on the island.

Fantastic video Nick , Thank you very much absolutely amazing area to visit, I was lucky enough to be there 4 years ago and really enjoyed the historic opportunity. Love the use of the Basecamp such a versatile caravan, we are looking to purchase a Basecamp in the coming spring now our children have grown up and flown the nest . Thanks

Thank you for the comment and feedback. The Basecamp is indeed a versatile caravan. They do come with their compromises but as does everything associated to camping! Good luck with yours… you’ll love it.

Another great blog ! You have a lot of cushions in your van, my husband would freak lol

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]

I think it makes the bench seats look cosier. That said my wife has said the same thing.😂

Great vlog yet again Nick. Well done for getting out there in the inclement weather. Nice to see the ability of the base camp to deal with wet gear and dog in the absence of an awning. Paris mountain is indeed a glimpse of the planet Mars. Quality of your video work and the history and knowledge contained in your commentary set your Vlogs out above your peers. Keep it up. I look forward to getting the notification of a new adventure. Appreciate your efforts in bringing us the end product.

Thanks Ian🙏. Managing without an awning in wet weather made the trip a notch difficult as the wind and rain was coming in from behind the caravan and therefore into the van every time I opened the door. The realities of winter camping😅. Great trip though and the Copper Kingdom was brilliant.

Another fantastic video Nick with stunning cinematography, enhanced by your always interesting commentary. The scenery of the copper mines within the World Heritage site was particularly fascinating and amazing. We have so much Industrial Revolution history in Wales, very lucky. As usual, thanks for taking us along with you and your gorgeous dog….love how she always prefers your sleeping bag 🤣. Look forward to your next adventure as usual 👍

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]

Thank you for the comment and I’m pleased you enjoyed it. The Copper mine was incredible. Truly worth a visit. There is also a museum dedicated to the history of the mines at Amlwch Harbour which I planned to visit but it was closed.

That’s one for your next visit Nick👍@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales

Another fantastic episode Nick…what an amazing place and history

[@martinkitchin6204]

Absolutely stunning. And being just an hour away, it's one of my favourite places . Incidentally, I'm unsighted on your career path but this is superbly presented 10/10 👍

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]

Thank you as always🙂. Anglesey felt very empty compared to the season but was a great time to see it.

Could I ask what app you use for your walks

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]

It’s called outdoor active it’s absolutely brilliant. I plan all my walks on the app and also follow the routes using the app as a navigation tool. You can also set up a buddy to receive your location every minute.

[@robwootton1]

Great vids ….. just subbed….. question what 3 series do you tow with a diesel or petrol?

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]

At the moment I’m towing with a 2L diesel. However I’m changing the car for a smaller 1.4 Petrol Hybrid. The Basecamp is a lightweight caravan so can be towed by almost any car (within reason).

[@robwootton1]

@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales thank you for your reply! What sort of mpg do you get out of your 320d when your towing? And your dog is so cute

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]
