From Navigating CANALS to EXPLORING open Roads | CAMPER VAN LIFE [Ep 101]

You are never too old to head off on on that next adventure.
A few years ago I sold my house to experience boat life and now i've taken the next step and got myself an old camper too - This gives me so many more options to do what I love and travel.
In this weeks video I meet up with a fellow boating friend of mine and we go exploring Lancashire and West Yorkshire in our Camper vans using the Park4night app to wild camp in various locations along the way. Obviously there will be some canal visits too.
Thank you so much for watching. If you do enjoy these videos please subscribe as its free to do and really helps my channel grow.

Many thanks for watching, I know a few of you will be asking ‘Why a camper van??!’ Well, the further I cruise my boat away from family & friends the harder it is to visit, plus I can now follow my dreams of travelling on both land and water .....Pirates often go plundering and pillaging on land too 🏴‍☠😁 For more info such as filming equipment, Music, FAQ and more please visit my website - thepirateboat.co.uk🏴‍☠

[@milanondrak5564]

Corsairs were land pillaging pirates, pirates plundered at sea and often took entire ships to add to their fleet. Privateers plundered at sea and on land but they did it for a king or country.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

@@milanondrak5564 so many pirates headed inland to go in search of adventure and treasure too between cruising the high seas 😃🏴‍☠️

[@trevorpoxon401]

Nice to see you getting out and about Heidi. Wherever you go we will be with you. Really enjoyed your adventure on dry land, who knows where you taking us next week 🤔. Look forward to it captain. ❤❤.Trevor & Linda. Ps don’t know why your surprised at being recognised. Didn’t ya know tha famous Up North 🤣😂

[@toniadams6606]

LIMERICK There was a young lass called Heidi. Some would say she is quite tidy. On bridges she swings and in locks she hems those boats in🚤. Now we can’t wait to see her on Friday. Gene and Toni in Australia

Best Pirate Poem yet!

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

I love them all 😂🏴‍☠️

[@jamesfreach1022]

Oh, such a change of plans. Here's a poem for your new adventure. Heidi's New Adventure Heidi and Sandra set sail no more Their narrowboats they left at the shore The countryside called, vast and green Camper vans they bought, a new scene A wandering life, they each embarked Through winding roads and paths unmarked From sea to mountains, they did roam A freedom found, like birds to home No more the waterways, a new way Nature, they sought in full array The winds of change, now blowing strong A life renewed, like a brand new song Heidi and Sandra, now free to roam Their life, their own, no more at home With each wood, meadow and hill Their hearts now full, a new life to fill.

[@TheNarrowboatPirate]

Lovely 😃🏴‍☠️

[@jamesfreach1022]

@The Narrowboat Pirate I'm glad you like the poems I've posted. I have to confess that my writing partner is Chat GPT. So, all the poems that I've posted are 100% original, but I prompted Chat GPT to write them for you.

[@titankiller666]

Girl the whole world is watching you and we can't get enough of you and the narrowboat pirate, it was awesome to see you and Sandra back together again doing another adventure and having fun and trying so hard to stay dry because I tell you being all wet and moist should be left in the bedroom😜

There was an old pirate named Heidi Whose bush was extremely untidy. She burst into tears, as she took out her shears And said this will take ‘til next Friday.

Hi Heidi. Enjoyed watching your adventures with Sandra. I too have a narrow boat (Merlot) and a VW campervan. My mooring is in Waverton, Chester. I am very interested in how Sandra is coping with the Irish Canals. I also would like to ship Merlot over to Ireland as husband dreams of living there. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next adventures. Bye for now. Heather x

Lovely I visit Cockerham, Thurnham and visit Glasson Dock with a branch of the Lancaster Canal but sadly the Locks need repairing. I do my Power Walking along the Lancaster Canal. Also Heysham and Morecambe are my days out and short stays plus Lancaster.Carnforth is lovely the train station is so lovely. Love the Camper Van although you do get residents in Morecambe moaning about the Camper vans spoiling the views lol Rita's cafe on the front is a must! I want a camper van lol In 1977 I travelled from my Grandmother's house in Belfast all around the Irish Coast in my Uncle's converted meat van! the best holiday ever! it's great to mix up what you are doing! I did want to live on a narrowboat as a child and Bunkbeds were my narrowboat! although had afternoon tea on one last year! just found a competition to win one lol might give it a go!

hi heidi loved watching this weeks and had a cuppa and put pen to paper or finger to keyboard here tis Friday down under await the next episode, A bit of a change she swapped the cut for the road Polly the van was the vehicle she bought Her experience with this amounted to nought She drives it up front not way down the back With plush cosy seats for resting her (back) A nice big round wheel for her to hold And a windscreen up front so her nipples aren’t cold She drove where the battles of roses were fought A nice quiet spot was all that she sought Near a pub with some food to fill up her tum Not to forget the compulsory rum The fish and the chips and some drinks she was hopin But our lovely wench had no tool used to open Back on the boat with the van put away We now wait for more to see next friday cheers Aussie dave

My list of Ladies of the of ill repute 1: The Rum Wench 2: Anne Bonny (sailed with Calico Jack) 3: Mary Read (known “friend” of Anne Read) 4: Lady Mary Killigrew (Her husband was tasked by the Queen to hunt down pirates) 5: Maria Lindsey (Married to Eric Cobham ,Stole a ship from the navy dock yard in Plymouth) 6: Grace O'Malley (Fiery Irish red head) 7: Rachel Wall ( The last female pirate to be hung in Massachusetts) All theses Ladies was pirates of some reputation. Number one on this list is still at large , but can be pacified with quantities of liquid gold sold at all good grog shops. If you should see her cruising the inland waterways give her a hearty wave, and never ever try to board her from behind Good sailing Heidi keep the wind at your back and your tinder (firewood) dry

I uprated the electrics on my 7m camper.Bolted a 500w solar panel to the roof, added another 100Amp hour battery. Only wish I had put in a 2000 Wat inverter instead of the 1000W one as it won't power up the microwave when I'm wild camping.

Superb filming and commentaries on an exceptional adventure. Rocking up at the pub and not being open reminded me of pulling up outside the Anchor on the Shroppie one day and it not open until the landlady felt like it. When it did though I was overjoyed at learning that the band Black Sabbath used the pub for a drink after band practice so I was made up. Hope you are well and all is well with you.

That was a bloody great video Heidi. Those vans you and Sandra have are fantastic, my opinion, I stress MY opinion, they’re one person vans but hell I’d love one. We had a big one with two slide outs but got rid of it, our plane was to sell and go to the UK and buy a narrowboat, COVID stopped that, but we’ve since brought a caravan. Fantastic towns you stopped in, very pretty, we did 4 weeks on a narrowboat then 4 weeks hire of a motorhome in the UK, it’s very pretty and so different to Oz, loved it. Very much enjoyed that, thanks for taking us on the trip. Stay safe. 💕

@@TheNarrowboatPirate. I think that van is perfect for one person. Has everything, amazing fora 23 year old van. We have two dogs in our caravan, one only 4.9kg and the other 19.6kg. We loved that trip which is why we decided to go home and sell the motorhome, 3 weeks home and Covid hit. Bas*#rd it was.

Great little van. I have a camper van too, not as big and posh as yours though. Enjoy it and get a bike, so you can take it with you, by riding back to drive the van up to your boat.

Mine is only the size of a normal car parking space, although I do have to watch out for height barriers 😂 it looks bigger than it is … I adore it, even though it’s old 😂😂 I already have a folding bike for my daily post box runs …I’m not gonna keep the camper with me all the time as I’m scared it may get vandalised but if I keep it at parents I can just bike, bus, train from anywhere I hope 😂😂

When were you in Kirby Lonsdale Heidi? We parked over last weekend on our way to Silverdale. Now Silverdale is a brilliant park up. The we moved onto Sunderland Point to visit Sambo's grave. A lovelely walk. Thanks for another great vlog and pleased we are both vanners!
