Busy Cotswolds & Towing In London

[@darrenspeak1785]

I really enjoy your videos Karen, they are so entertaining and this one is as good as the others. I do admire what you have done while being in the uk, driving a caravan all around England by yourself is quite an achievement, I’m not sure I’d want to do the same thing, it’s bad enough sometimes just driving a car, never mind towing a caravan. I like that when you go for walks your quite adventurous, taking paths that may not be paths but you keep going and you keep smiling and you always seem to enjoy you adventure. I think a lot of people take the history of the uk for granted, we live with it all the time and probably don’t take much notice of it, I think it’s beneficial to have visitors like yourself who point out the history to remind us how interesting our local history is. I can’t believe only one person turned up in London, it would have been terrible if they hadn’t, thankfully it seems you had a good time anyway and good for that Lady to not let you down. Like I said at beginning, a very entertaining video, thanks Karen.

[@TravellingK]

I do enjoy wandering and seeing where I turn up 😀 Glad Alison could make it to the meet-up... otherwise I’d get my book out 🤣

[@kalelhenrik5699]

i know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?

@Kalel Henrik i dunno I would suggest flixportal. Just google for it :P -ezequiel

@Ezequiel Bowie thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !

@Kalel Henrik Happy to help =)

[@td2691]

Congratulations that's got to be one of the best descriptions of street view I've ever heard. The little man going down the street.

[@TravellingK]

🤣🤣🤣 Glad you enjoyed my description

[@alisonm26]

Enjoyed meeting you in London Karen - can't believe it was the beginning of August - seems like only last week - safe trip back.

[@darrenspeak1785]

Alison Bush It’s good that you turned up for the meet Alison, I’m sure it would have been disappointing to go to all that trouble and for nobody to be there to meet Karen.

[@millomweb]

Met up with one person - I'm wondering if that's a record !

[@TravellingK]

And so glad you could make it Alison. Looking forward to your NZ questions 😜

[@jennyp7084]

Thanks Karen for another amusing and enjoyable video. It’s been great to follow your travels. Quite inspiring, not only your van drives but also the way you shoot and edit your videos. Always great quality.

[@TravellingK]

That you Jenny. So lovely to hear

[@Vandemonium]

Yay for the canal boats! ;-)

[@SteveMorton]

Wrong account David!!!

[@steveparkinson8387]

Mmm a vested interest perhaps?

[@Incognitus-Umbra]

Indeed, and your vlogs :)

[@TravellingK]

Haha I’m still obsessed 😜

[@LibbyWithnall]

That was funny how you were so alone and then suddenly in the town with all the tourists. That town looked crazy busy. Can't begin to imagine what it's like to live there. Will definitely rewatch all your UK videos when I get back to the UK (and hopefully tour around in a motorhome). So crazy to me that you can walk on paths to so many places.

[@TravellingK]

The walking paths are amazing! And it is crazy walking along on my own then suddenly reaching a spot full of people.

[@clairepapadatos1116]

Bloody brilliant, Karen! Thank you so much for sharing!👌👍✌😘

[@TravellingK]

Glad you enjoyed Claire!

[@lauralie9658]

I bet your going to enjoy being home in your own caravan. I truly have enjoyed all your videos and look forward to future videos. I bet your family will be excited you have back in New Zealand. Get some good rest and enjoy being home! See you in your future videos!

[@TravellingK]

So far it’s been lovely being home 😀 Plenty more UK videos to come 🇬🇧

[@karynnmcnicol2754]

My Mum came from Stroud in the Cotswolds it looks such a beautiful area. The gorgeous villages with beautiful old buildings. :) Well your back to our wider roads Karen you'll feel happy about that.

[@TravellingK]

The Cotswolds seem such a beautiful area. And yes, enjoying the wider roads again 🤣

[@Paul.anoldangler]

Just found your channel and I must say, i am loving it. Well done and 😊 thank you

[@tassiedevil6933]

Really amazing tackling the London area, I don't even like driving when in Melbourne lots of grumpy and impatient drivers, as always you tours of the places you visit are relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks for the share have a continued safe trip.

[@TravellingK]

Ah but Melbournes left hook turns are unique!!

[@vicmiller7191]

When i visited London on my way to Ireland, i remember driving on the highways there and yes they were a treat... but if you have driven in New York, Chicago, or even the Cayman lsland like i have then that will prepare you quite well. And i know they may have called that a roundabout but that was not a roundabout. That was more like a Traffic Engineers nightmare. And i do love all the stone buildings and wild walking paths. And the country side was just splendid to behold...the squirrels were cool too. We have a few areas around the City here where the squirrels are so use to human interaction they will take peanuts from a out stretched hand...thanks for sharing...Vic

[@TravellingK]

The motorways and roundabouts are different to in NZ. So America would be an interesting experience!

[@AllAboutChalford]

Enjoying your videos. BTW. In the UK, Restricted Byways are public footpaths with additional access rights for horses, cyclists etc (but not motorised vehicles)

[@millomweb]

As opposed to BOATs !

[@TravellingK]

Oh good! So it was ok to walk?

[@millomweb]

@@TravellingK Yep.

[@millomweb]

@@TravellingK Not sure of the details but likely ok to walk or ride a horse but no vehicles.

[@AllAboutChalford]

@@TravellingK Absolutely fine

[@altacat9702]

Beautiful walk around !! ... Thank You !!

[@TravellingK]

It’s such a beautiful spot 😀

[@Robutube1]

Hats off to your chutzpah K; early in your trip you had a baptism of fire in The Lakes that has, sadly but predictably, coloured your driving experience since. I can but admire you taking on our roads with such a bug "rig", something I've never done. BTW: Typical knight of the road at 07:08 (not!).

[@TravellingK]

Can you tell I got nervous towing for a while after the Lake District?? But I did start to feel more comfortable with time.

[@Robutube1]

@@TravellingK I'm going to be honest and answer your question with a "yes". However, you've done admirably well since that Lake District experience and your growing confidence is obvious. I'm in awe of what you took on for your trip here and so have nothing but admiration for the way you stared it down! My concern was that you'd conflate a bad towing experience with a bad visit to our country, but your posts have shown that this isn't the case... by an historic country mile :-).

[@lizleonard3681]

Ah Hampton Court - has a lovely day there. We stayed at the CAMC Crystal Palace site. We had to drive through London - not easy and we did get lost but the sat nav saved the day for us too! X

[@TravellingK]

I was wondering what that drive was like! Glad you enjoyed 😀

[@jonathaneddy]

A bit of background for you, which might explain something about the English. That row of pretty little cottages (2'30") are called Arlington Row and were one of the inspirations of the Arts and Crafts movement, particularly William Morris. Subsequently the forms, proportions and motifs found in that little strip of farmers houses were the basis for many of the council built public housing terraces and semi-detached houses in the Garden City concepts of the 1920's to 1950's. Those same forms were exported around the Anglosphere world, so you've literally hit one of the touchstones for British architecture. So that tiny patch of 14th century wool worker cottages are the basis for millions of houses around the world. When someone asks you why British houses are so tiny and un-modern you can blame Arlington Row, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement.

[@TravellingK]

That’s interesting! I was wondering why those houses were being targeted when there were other equally pretty houses around.

[@GaetanHobby]

Thanks Karen for another great vidéo 😉.

[@TravellingK]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@englishmaninfrance661]

As you know , I'm English . I've never heard of Bibury . Congrats on finding it, navigating it , & enjoying it You have Big balls Madame . Used to driving lefties and driving a righty.

Englishman inFrance many years ago, on a trip, in SCOTLAND, I saw a really great BMW 6 SERIES RHD, MANUAL TRANNY, I brought it back to USA , had it for. It was stolen wrecked & burned, but insurance would not replace the RHD + it was not a model sold here either. I learned to drive RHD IN A CROWN COLONY , so drove one on vacation, but LHD, in 2 weeks, zCheers from NJ, USA

Bibury was so cute! Sorry Leighton to hear about the car being destroyed.

I have driven trucks in London. Hated it but survived. I have driven coaches in London. Hated it but survived. Towing a caravan through London..... on your bike. City dwellers simply don’t understand the concept. I’d just end up collecting heaps of numpty cyclists on the A frame. Hope you enjoyed the Cotswolds. Bourton on th water is my fave Cotswold spot.

[@TravellingK]

Nicely put 🤣 Collecting cyclists. Wish I’d had more time to explore the Cotswolds

It used to be caravans holding up the traffic, now it's numpty cyclists holding up caravans !!. City Dwellers Different world..

[@leelee9421]

Such a Kiwi thing to do, go off the beaten track to go 'sploring. Although that first one, I wouldn't have wandered down there. I'm pretty game too, but it has to not be too isolated so go you. I loved travelling around England by car. B roads whenever we could. Love the history and countryside. And castles!

[@TravellingK]

Ha, glad it’s a kiwi thing. I’ll agree - love the history and countryside!

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

Love CLs :) Well done on those roads and how many broken down cars! Little orange Google man is v useful isn't it. Shame more folks couldn't make the meet up - would have been our closest but we were abroad on summer hols. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

[@flybyairplane3528]

Oh welcome! And enjoy your new caravan 😀 Glad the videos are helping.

[@kf-dk5pb]

Nice video and helpful too, as currently in the new forest on holiday and was about to research a walking app, when you suggested one, “all trails”. Looks a good one so have downloaded it, hope you enjoy the rest of your stay and thank you 👍

Thanks for the tip about the Alltrails app. I have downloaded it to my Iphone and I am sure it will prove to be very useful as I like exploring walking trails. I have never been to Bibury but I've heard it is very touristy.

[@TravellingK]

It’s been helpful on this trip 😀 And I see it works in NZ too!

[@lynnrixson1094]

Pleased you enjoyed the CL’s. We only use these as we do not like large caravan sites. 😊

[@TravellingK]

I’m a huge fan of them 😀😀

[@SteveMorton]

Great video Karen. It's been a few years but I recognised your bit from the M40 on to the M25 near Heathrow. It's always pot luck if the M25 is going to be moving or standing still when you join it!

Haha nice! I do get stuck on the M25 in the future video...

Really nice vlog safe travels

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Watching that, having driven in Germany ,Spain, Japan , the Middle East and all over the US. I say that the traffic there looks like a lot of traffic in the bigger US cities. We in the US do have the perchance for making ridiculously large highway interchanges. The super highway near me was 4 lanes (2 a side) when I moved in. Its a 1/4 mile from me. Over the years its grown to 6 lanes and the interchange near me is about 12 lanes wide. I can hear it loud and clear now.

[@TravellingK]

12 lanes?! Geeee that’s hard to imagine!

[@flybyairplane3528]

Christopher Rasmussen hello, there is a 6 lane INTERSTATE 1/2 MILE AS THE CROW FLIES, BUT OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT OR A POWER FAILURE , YOU CAN HEAR IT, NOW YEARS AGO, I WAS ION MY ROOF PUTTING UP AN ANTENNA ( aerial ) & could not see it, but when you hear tyres , unbalanced @ 65 mph that’s NOISE, Cheers from NJ,,USA

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

@@flybyairplane3528 NJ, my home state! I know exactly what you talk about. 20 years back it was 4 lanes . We could leave our windows open. Now its loud. Windows shut all the time and we miss the fresh air. Progress I guess.

If you're in Norfolk you must try The Secret Garden on the outskirts of Wisbech - they have a micro-brewery and home-made sausages and fresh eggs on site - its also a lovely place and the people who run it are great (it's really good value too).

When I was in London I was reminded many times to 'Mind the Gap.' I wasn't even driving.

[@jamesmgreen15]

Good content fwiw, imo. As far as I would happily want to go near to London City itself towing a caravan for pleasure. After a while you get used to "commanding" the road with a larger rig but pleasure v work:). The history is nice there with public rights of way sometimes dating back to Saxon times in a soft Constable scenery and Pubs that have seen people falling off barstools since long before Captain Cook:)

[@TheGazLab]

Your in Surrey on the edge of outer London, and very close to some amazing countryside :-) scoot around through Esher toward Dorking and Box hill or newlands corner for some amazing views of london etc :-))

Ah ok! Would have been good to see the amazing views.

Like Bibury, don't like the crowds, so go out of peak season. Check out the village, and the fish farms. Hate to sound pedantic, dispute how it'd spelt, it's "By-bury". Didn't used to mind driving in London, but now it's not just busy, it's actually aggressive. Still, safe travels and I guess you'll be back in my neck of the woods when you return the van; you are going to give it back, aren't you?

[@TravellingK]

Another important thing is to plan your journey so as to be travelling in an anti clockwise direction. E.G. TAKING AS MANY LEFT TURNS AS POSSABLE.

Nice tip!!

[@Venomator.]

Another interesting insight K, thank you! I am another of the ‘hate London with a passion brigade’ I’m afraid and it just seems to get worse, busier, frantic even. So we try to stay well clear of the big stuff and also stick to CL’s or Tranquil sites (adults only mostly). Cheers, Rog... 😉 😎 🐍

[@roseyinthegarden6671]

Travelling K There are red squirrels on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour in Dorset, on Anglesey, the Isle of Wight, good places to spot them are Ventnor Botanical Gardens and Osbourne House, which was Queen Victoria’s holiday home, the Lake District, Cumbria and Northumberland. The grey squirrels carried a pox which infected the reds, plus they compete for the same food and habitat and the reds being smaller, tend to loose out. The islands of Brownsea, Anglesey and the Isle of Wight are free from greys, so the reds can thrive. I like them both, but having been lucky enough to have red squirrels come and sit beside me on the Isle of Wight, the reds are very special to me! I’m really enjoying your videos, I’m working my way through your NZ ones too!

[@hesterbeard]

if the Restricted access sign you mentioned was that restricted byway sign it just means you can't drive a vehicle down it but you used to be aloud to (probably in a tractor or proper off-road 4x4). Basically just to warn people with really old maps

[@TravellingK]

Is a pick em up truck a Ute? I only noticed a couple at the campgrounds. More common in NZ!

[@carycoombe3380]

@@TravellingK Yes, a UTE is like a small pickup truck. However, a lot of the large campers here are "fifth wheels" and require a larger truck and a massive hitch bolted down to the middle of the truck bed. Those fifth wheel campers are HUGE, and the trucks that you need to haul them are big monsters, compared to a UTE. You really should come see them for yourself.
