First night solo car camping in the Lake District (Skoda Yeti camper)

[@wilburytwist6683]

I've only just found this channel. Its so heartwarming.❤ I had a canine companion who supported me after my divorce, and she died 2 years ago 😢 I was devastated and i really went backwards for a while. Two years on, i have a new travelling companion who loves to look over hedges for cows and rabbits from the passenger seat of my new campervan. So, the moral is, things will pick up. Thanks for doing this channel. It is calming.

[@missnancysdayoff]

i am so glad you found the channel thank you for oh no, I can imagine Miss Nancy supported me through a lot, and they do it all so quietly. so glad you have found a new companion, i hope i will too one day. ☺️

[@iagrim39]

So glad you made it to the Lake District. You need at least a month travelling around to see the quiet west Lakes and the Northern Fells . I visited in 1999 and I’m still here😂. You could definitely set up your jewellery making here: the towns have a lot of individual craft shops and cooperatives for sellers. And you were right, Miss Nancy would have loved the Lakes ❤ . Come back soon.

[@missnancysdayoff]

a month sounds good! or 25 years 😅 you make it sounds even better, i truly hope i am back soon thank you ❤️

[@SteveSandersonArt]

Lovely video, it does rain more in the Lake District and there is a reason for it. It’s the mountains! The warm air from the sea rises steeply and quickly up the sides of the hills condensing into rain clouds….. there you go lol 🥰

[@missnancysdayoff]

😅 i guess there had to be a reason, and i didn’t even see more than a few drops! well worth it for that landscape

How lovely that you made it to the Lakes. I live about 1 hour away so manage to get up there often. If you can continue up the m6 to junct.40 and head into the north Lakes. Equally beautiful with screes, crags and fells. Please come up again but for a week. Its lovely to see you more upbeat. Nancy will never be far away but the pain will lessen. X

Please get another greyhound. I know your tears so well. There are so many....and lurchers in homes. I lost mine last year after 16 years. The grief is still there. But i have another lurcher now. It doesnt reduce the previous love you had, but builds on it. We all have experience of how precious they are. We need travelling companions whether human or canine. Another dog will help your healing and give you reason. Thank you for the calming videos. 🙂

Those clouds deffo saw you coming and flew over to welcome you to the North. Soz about that. 😂 I'm due to spend some time in a mate of a mate's cottage in the Lakes soon myself. Such a wonderful place. I have to say it's nice to live up here on the coast. We have slightly easier access to everywhere including Ireland because we're kind of at the halfway point of the country. It's all half as far for me as it is for you. Your message about cows gets my seal of approval too, 100% friends not food. They can be so playful. In reality they're like giant puppies. 🐮

[@missnancysdayoff]

I’m honestly glad they did it was so funny 😅 lucky you sounds awesome! So where do you live? That does sound like a kind of convenient place I really want to go to Ireland. Love how much of this place I have not seen yet it’s crazy though really. Cows 😍 they really are like giant puppies! So sweet, curious,gentle, loving. Beautiful.

[@theKNI]

@@missnancysdayoff When you open your animal sanctuary I'll bring the cows then. 😁 I live in a village in Cheshire near the banks of the river Mersey. About 10 minutes outside Liverpool. I'm within very reasonable driving distance of North Wales and the Peak District. Then a little further is the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales to the North and Snowdonia and Shropshire Hills to the South. You can be on the ferry from Liverpool to Ireland in about half an hour (on foot or in your car) or you can get a flight or train to Scotland and everywhere in between. Everything you'd want to visit is very accessible from here really. If you get a chance, definitely visit Ireland though. You'd love it. Dublin is a good starting point with plenty of vegan restaurants and hostels if you wanted to do it cheap but the countryside there is absolutely stunning too.

Tiny Pine Outdoors is a Lakes walking & camping expert and loves one of the quieter valleys, I forget which. As an antidote to the retro/antique adventure thrillers I read, I love rereading gentle retro/antique childhood classics too, Tori. I have Coot Club - I must order the entire series. From an adult perspective, the extreme prejudice in Enid Blyton's books is a funny. Malcolm Saville is another good one. It sounds like just the right age to be in Hong Kong. I've never been to the east but it sounds like the tides of humanity are on another level.

I am rereading them now just finished Secret Water, they are so peaceful and lovely. i do enjoy a bit of famous five as well 😅 some of the ideas are dated but really there’s nothing bad there’s no hatred there, I remember the one where dick gives George this lecture on how she migh look like a boy, and swim as good as a boy, and climb trees as well as a boy, but she will never be a good as a boy 😂 so funny.

[@chrishamilton2527]

I love the Lakes (and Snowdon, Dartmoor, Exmoor etc etc) while the ocean is my deep passion and sailing. I really need water and mountains in my life. I need to sail back to the Indian Ocean and South Pacific with the mountainous islands; I love the warm weather and even warmer people. Seeing you grazing on the humous and chips sent me to the fridge at just after 3am ..... also one of my favourites snacks. That campsite looks idyllic........ have you considered adding a wind break to your kit (like you see on the beach) for such set up? Adds privacy as well as a protected place to cook. When you talk about Miss Nancy I reach for my boy and give him a big hug ......remember energy cannot be destroyed, only morphed into another form, so she is still around and looking over you. A Pound to a penny she was trotting along just ahead of you, constantly turning her head to check on you. I bet if you listen carefully you'll hear her nails tapping along the road sometimes.

You will need to spend a few days in the Lake District as a Swallows and Amazons fan, and get hold of a copy of “Captain Flints Trunk” by Christina Hardyment - she spent a lot of time identifying the real world locations. There are a couple of camp sites on the edge of Coniston Water so if you take your paddle board you can actually visit Wild Cat Island! Other places you might like are Wast Water, a spectacular flooded glacial valley - be very careful it can be very cold, and Hard Knott Pass - can be a challenging drive, but spectacular views and there’s a couple of streams a friend of mine used to like paddling her feet in!

Thank you! I’ve been to Melbourne a couple of times it’s a great city ☺️ the Lake District blew me away can’t wait to go back. haha maybe I wasn’t committed enough, never swum sans suit before! I’ve been vegan for about 8 years, I started reading a lot about animal agriculture and the way animals are actually treated as well as the environmental and health impacts and I realised I had to let go of the ideas I’d been carrying around all my life about it being ok and something I didn’t need to think about and look at the facts. I’d always known in my heart that other animal species are just like us, sentient beings who feel pain, fear, joy, and I felt it was wrong to take their life away against their will. So the only logical thing was to stop eating them, and honestly it’s the best thing I’ve ever done 🥰

[@JamesandRibble]

That was great Tory, it's lovely in the Langdales. So much to see in the Lake District, you're going to need several visits! Swallows and Amazons was set on Coniston water, and "Wild Cat Island" is actually Peel Island about 100 yards from the east bank two thirds of the way down. We used to go there on Scout camps in summer. You could easily swim out to it, and there is a little natural harbour on the south side of the island where we used to land our kayaks. Are you getting thoughts of the Cumbria Way yet? Xx

thank you ☺️ ok i need to go for a longer times and try to follow in the footsteps of swallows and amazons. how did you find out these things? i was looking on the Arthur ransome fan club website thing, all a bit cryptic though. that sounds soooo nice. well i want to do the Cumbria way, honestly i just felt like i wanted to stay in the lakes forever. can i leave my car in the cp do you think and get a bus back if i make it the the end of the path?! xx

@@missnancysdayoff I'm not sure how true the games are to the Nancy Drew Mythos (😊) but they're fun and relaxing to watch. Pretty expensive to buy though! Just ordered a nice well-thumbed Puffin edition of Swallows & Amazons. It's world looks calm and idyllic. Just the ticket 👍

Wine, 1 opened and a full bottle ha, I like it. The lakes are class, I used to take my kids there all the time for camping and fishing. The true North is Durham and Newcastle, bring along a bullet proof vest ha. (Especially if you goto Midlesbrough)!

[@missnancysdayoff]

got to be prepared! omg i don’t think I’m ready to wear a flak jacket I might stay away from the cities!!! 😅,

[@ianwalker4803]

Oh man , you came to the Lakes for just one night ? You need to take your time and explore and find a quiet Tarn to swim in , yes it rains more in the lakes (that's where the lakes come from 😉 ) and its colder in winter, glad you got to see a little of here. Ps yes I've always believed Rio is Bowness/Windermere, have you seen the 1974 Swallows and Amazons Film ? undoubtedly the best version. great vid Tori , take care

[@missnancysdayoff]

i know i really do it was awful just dropping by, well no it was amazing but i did not want to leave! Asha thank you! Yes i have i love that film, have you seen the coot club it’s on amazon and so good too! 🙏

Hi Tori... hope your well and doing ok in this dreadful rain this saturday morning. I live in Kendal and love walking the fells in the Lake District. Will you be walking the fells whilst on your visit. x

Ha ha ha... I live in the North West. Yes the weather for the past two years has been mostly grey and rainey. I escape down to the Midlands for some heat. Lol. Glad you enjoyed the English Lakes. I cycled around there when I was still at school, staying at Youth Hostels. BTW Mr Sweet the Akita sends his love.

@@missnancysdayoff We managed to avoid most of the hills, except fot Kirkstone Pass - the effort required climbing on bikes that were heavily laden with full panniers - was phenomenonal - but we'd practised climbing in the Pennines before we went, so that helped. It was the holiday of a lifetime and all my school mates congratulated us when we returned.

There is sea up here in Cumbria, I live in a bungalow on the beach looking out over the Isle of Man!

Honest.

[@missnancysdayoff]

Wow that sounds like an amazing spot! Barney ❤️I am sorry. Thank you ☺️

[@freemenofengland2880]

Try swimming in Coniston or Windermere - but keep to the designated zones to avoid the motor boats. Try the Hawkshead ferry and the Swimming area is not far from the other end.

[@johnm2879]

We have a Windermere in Muskoka which is also a lovely lake area. Canada Geese abound in both places unfortunately. It is a bit of a stretch to call the Yeti a camper but your boundless patience can make almost anything work. Love the mortarless stonework and great vibe in the area.

[@missnancysdayoff]

sound lovely! the geese certainly thrive, they didn’t mind me so i don’t mind them, i wouldn’t feed them though 😅 geese are a bit scary. ha yes perhaps, but when you see all the stuff I’ve put in it you’d have to call it a camper. was such a. nice place

Change of scene has to be good for a "reset" of energy Tori. Beautiful landscapes, however far away, will always trigger a "What would Miss Nancy have made of this ?" All part of life ! Pity that vegan place wasn't open for you to try :( Those cows could definitely sense your vibe, couldn't have been food they were after !

Hey you 🙂....... I hope you're doing ok Tori, its great to see that huge smile of yours again x I did put a comment on your last video, and i also responded to your fab reply to my comment on the video before that too, but its not showing on my data page for some reason, i hope they reached you. Anyway.......I've got to agree, its lovely being amongst civilisation and seeing these famous tourist spots, but when it begins to get overwhelming and you find yourself all touristed out, its just as lovely seeking out some peace and solitude...........but not without a baleful look through the window of a closed local cafe when you're hungry. Still, with half a curled up Pret sandwich and two inches of white wine waiting for you back at the car, who needs cafes?.......the rest of that wine no doubt evaporated in the heat huh babe? hahaha😃😃. I love your humour Tori, you need to be able to laugh a little at yourself aswell as the world around you, and as usual there was lots of that......i love it sweetheart, you always make me laugh 😄 Its all very posh though, not many people have cars with a library annex, and to be able to withdraw into the bedchamber at the same time to read is a luxury not many can afford lol. I'm astonished though at what you fit into your lil 'ol Yeti!! Is there anything left in your house 🤣!?? I'm no expert, but i reckon as you get more practiced Tori, you'll get a system going regards to packing the car and things will become a lot lot easier.......everything will have a place and everything will be in its place and accessible......I bet next summer, you'll be able to set up camp in minutes and de-camp (if that's actually a word) just as quickly, you watch........you'll be able to eat a curly sandwich, brew a cuppa, filter fetid swamp water in some old filter cuppy thing AND brush your teeth, all whilst still staying snuggled up in your duvet and holding your book in one hand xx Tori listen. you take care ok!..........and i really look forward to the next episode of "Toris' travels around Britain in a little car".......see ya soon sweetheart xx

[@missnancysdayoff]

thank you ☺️ I am not sure that I did see a comment form you on my last video. sometimes KZbin seem to disappear things it’s strange. that’s it, so good to be able to escape the madnes when you’ve had enough and the peace seems even more profound. haha yeah dinner of champions that sandwich was a real treat. it was soggy when i first got it too! I think it’s important to make sure you have a library and a bedchamber wherever you are, can’t let standards slip! there is. lot in there, i think I’m going to do a packing video because to be honest I am really amazed what i fit in 😅 I’m sure your right just takes time. can’t wait to be able to achieve all that although I’ll have to have gained a new technique for filtering my swamp water because that was hard enough doing by itself! take care too xx

@@missnancysdayoff Awww. its a shame the comment didn't appear, i always love to say hi to you and have a chat. Definitely do a packing video at some point Tori lol 😀. Its amazing what you get in there. I'm sure right now though, you've lots of ideas for videos in the pipeline......What made you pick a Skoda Yeti? Your subscribers are growing by the week babe, how fab is that? ⭐ I think its because you've got the formula just right. The trips away, the scenery, your openness. how you share your time with those watching, your humour........in fact all of it, I even love the music you choose 😃. Its the quickest thirty minutes of my week though, which is a shame...... Always good to leave 'em wanting more though sweetheart, as my grandma used to say........well. she had no teeth, so i think that's what she always said!!?? It was hard to understand her sometimes. I reckon you should do two, even three videos a week 😄😄. Take care Miss Tori, thanks for the reply babe.......I'm gonna frame it! 😃xx

[@missnancysdayoff]

@ThomasMorris-hb3py well I’ve had the yeti for a few years, but originally because I wanted a 4x 4 that was also fast and there aren’t many of those! This particular version of the yeti is both, and it’s an awesome car 😍 I’m so glad you like the videos, honestly I thought who is gonna want to watch half an hr of me blabbering so I am very happy to hear it’s fun! Ha 2-3 videos a week 😂 one is hard enough! ❤️🙏 xx

Tanya, Suggestion : Go to Yorkshire next Malham Cove you would enjoy as a little hike and tranquility. By the way, Yorkshire is generally drier than the West side of the Pennines which is far wetter and has the Lakes!😅 But Yorkshire is God's own country and is absolutely beautiful ❤ Wuthering heights, and Vet James Herriot country....
