Hardraw Force Waterfall, Hawes, Yorkshire Dales in a VW camper van- A Female Vanlife Vlog

[@clarerose4074]

Thank you taking me along, it was a relaxing weekend in a beautiful spot. Your editing is great, the outtakes made me giggle 😂. To Bri 🍺😘

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks little sis. I suppose it wasn't too bad considering I was distracted having such a good time! The outtakes just kept coming 😂. Sure there will be plenty more trips in the future! To Bri 🍻 xx

[@richiebainbridge2608]

Nice to see the green dragon pub again. We as bikers in the 80’s used to camp outback near the fall and we had great times, and a bit wild. I took my wife, then girlfriend, there but never made it as we got stuck in the river at Hawes in a bloody car lol. Yes it was flooded and no I didn’t see the sign ! Thanks for sharing great stuff. 🍺 to Bri.

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks for watching and commenting Richie and for the 🍺 to Bri. Glad you enjoyed it and it brought back some good memories. Love this area.

[@maureenwold2538]

What a lovely place Hawes is.......your drive through the village really showed it off. And a local pub in Hardraw too....looked nice after your day out. Looked like you both had a great time....and plenty of laughs by the look of the out-takes 🤣 🤣

[@CamperVanya]

It really was brilliant. We'll definitely do it again sometime 👍 x

[@74quo]

Just returned from the lovely Yorkshire dales, in my old talbot express,love the place😎

[@CamperVanya]

Hiya, me too. Such a beautiful county with so much to explore 😊👍🏻

[@TheBabblingBrookes]

Oh and I meant to add the the end was just so funny 😂 true sister moments

[@CamperVanya]

I’ve just watched the outtakes again after reading your comment and they always make me giggle 😆

[@G.J..Journeys]

Busy place! Nice waterfall. That was a tight squeeze with the motorhome. 👍

[@CamperVanya]

Yes, I’m confident with the van but it wasn’t worth the risk 😅. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@grayfreeman]

Another classic, Sue! Lovely scenery! Great looking campsite. Makes me want to get out there... instead of walking to the local field in the rain.

[@CamperVanya]

I’m the same, still haven’t been out yet this year. Frustrating isn’t it! This was a great trip with my sister. Laughed so much!

[@grayfreeman]

@@CamperVanya That's great. It's good to be with other people, isn't it. Sometimes anyway. But not always! Whenever I go with other people I always end up apologising because the holiday always revolves around my dog... because the needs of Brendan outweigh the needs to the many.

[@OurDaysOut]

Excellent Vlog, and some wonderful scenery, thanks for sharing.

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks for watching and your feedback. It’s a beautiful place, and considering it’s school holidays it didn’t feel over-busy wandering around.

[@sylviapage8572]

That looked like a great night away. 😁

[@CamperVanya]

Great day/night and great company ❤️

[@annrimmington8690]

Oh god that’s what Kev would have had too, Tim Taylor’s! We seem to have run parallel lives you and me. I’m being so patient waiting for this blooming van, I can’t wait much longer. Roll on October. Another lovely vid x

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Ann, bet it seems like you’re waiting forever! Glad you liked the vid. Cheers to Kev & Bri! 🍻. Take care x

[@MrDods26]

Great Vlog Sue, it certainly is a spectacular place.. Loved the out takes too 😂

[@CamperVanya]

Hi John. I'm glad you enjoyed the vlog, it was a lovely place to visit. There were more than the average amount of outtakes this time!! Take Care, Sue. 👍

[@roaminginraymond]

Lovely having a half for Bri. Always wanted to see the waterfall at Hardraw but never got round to it. Very kind of you to reverse for the Elddis motorhome to go through. Another nice vlog Sue.xx

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Helen, thank you. Always a few more distractions when I’m with someone than when I’m videoing solo haha. Reversing for the moho was actually good practise! The lane looks wider on the video but there was no way we’d have got through. Take care, Sue x

[@roaminginraymond]

@@CamperVanya it may have looked wider to the untrained eye lol, but we could tell it wasn't that wide.

[@wobbleboxadventures]

What a lovely peacefull place to visit that stone work is amazing 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏻

[@CamperVanya]

Hi, thanks for your comment. This place is beautiful and definitely worth visiting if in the area 👍

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

cheers bri 🍺 , well what a lovely place you found there , what a gem , so tranquil and right on top of it all ! great vid thanks for sharing 👍😀 mike

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks Mike, and for your Cheers to Bri 🍻 👍

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Girls just having fun. Thanks for sharing. Hawes and Ribblehead Viaduct. Both excellent when not busy. Recommend a place called Dent. Thumbs up. Cheers from old George and Jane. 👫👍👍👍👍🤠🇬🇧🍺

[@roaminginraymond]

Agree with Dent. Proper old cobbled road. Not been since we got the motorhome though. Went in our tenting days.

[@CamperVanya]

Yes, Bri & I had planned to do Dent so it’s one for further down the line I think. Will do it one day though 👍

[@roaminginraymond]

@@CamperVanya there is a campsite there at the other end. Nice tearoom/cafe there too.

[@WanderingWheelie]

Great vlog once again with some fantastic editing! You are certainly getting around and which I'm sure Bri would be proud of you for! X

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks very much! I often wonder what Bri would make of this. I know he’d be happy but I don’t think he’d have expected me to be doing it and certainly not YouTubing as I go 😁 x

[@LiveforTravel]

A beautiful location Sue (and Claire). I was watching you drive down through to the field thinking “how would our Motorhome fit down there?!” Particularly with the low hanging trees. I have said this before, watching a video late in the evening watching someone eating a meal is not good. I’m hungry now 😂 Take care.

[@CamperVanya]

Hiya, unfortunately the site we stayed at lists on its website that it isn't suitable for caravans or motorhomes, just campervans and tents. I will add that into the video description. The hamlet is only a mile and a half from Hawes C&MH Club site though (lovely site), or 1.2 miles from Shaw Ghyll Caravan & Camping Site (never stayed here), so plenty more options. Have a great weekend 😀

[@LiveforTravel]

@@CamperVanya excellent. And I was just thinking about buying another Camper just to fit 😂 or is that I am always thinking of Campers 🤦‍♂️

[@TheMotorhomeMiles]

Lovely vlog Sue 👏 cheers to Bri 🥃 Stay Safe 😜👍

[@CamperVanya]

Hi, thanks for your cheers to Bri! 👍 Have a lovely weekend, Sue x

[@marionjohansson4235]

Lovely ❤

[@CamperVanya]

Sister time ❤️

[@VantasticAdventures]

A lovely video that made us smile, gorgeous scenery for a wonderful girls trip 🥰👍 Timothy Taylor was an excellent beer choice too ❤️

[@CamperVanya]

That's so good to know that it brought a smile. It was certainly fun for us, and glad you approve of the beer choice! 🍻👍

[@HitchUpAndTow]

A great watch , thanks for sharing

[@CamperVanya]

Hi, thanks very much. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Have a good weekend 👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for showing us the lovely town of Hawes and the waterfall is on our to do list. Looks like you had a great time with your sister. Not sure I would be happy paying £10 each for the campsite and the door on the toilet doesn’t lock properly 😱 Take care til the next one 👍😀🚐❤️

[@CamperVanya]

It was a lovely weekend thanks. I've since sent a polite email pointing out the door locks and the over-diluted handwash! Have a great weekend wherever you two and the little red camper might be 😎🌤⛈🌧🌞 (it's August, I'm not sure which applies) x

[@Wizardinthewild]

Lovely location and that waterfall was stunning. If we had a quid for every time that silly satnav sends us down minute tracks… we’d be millionaires! All the best E 🧙‍♂️x

[@CamperVanya]

Ha, yes, it’s all good fun isn’t it. Mine’s a doddle too with being a small van it’s very easy to handle. Take care, Sue x

[@Wizardinthewild]

@@CamperVanya yes all good fun.. We don’t seem to do many journeys where there isn’t a narrow lane or two involved 🤣 have a good week E x

[@TheSlawsAdventures]

We love Hawes! We were there in April. You had considerably warmer weather than us 🤣 The campsite was so pretty, but I felt your frustration with the watered down soap. It’s a big no-no for Mrs Slaw. The same as the chippy that waters down the vinegar 😡

[@CamperVanya]

It’s such a beautiful town isn’t it. Hardraw is also worth visiting and walking around including the waterfall. The Green Dragon pub is lovely for food and drink too. The campsite was perfectly located but the lack of proper door locks and the handwash being as thin as water was disappointing. I emailed thanking them a lovely stay and politely feeding back the problems we noted. Not had a reply 😆

[@julianlangdon3456]

I'm reminded of visiting a Fish & Chip Cafe in Whitby, the Ketchup that was served with our meals was appallingly watery and we were charged 10p a sachet for the better quality stuff! Possibly the only example I've ever come across of northern folk being tight. IMHO the best chippy in the country is up that way, in Angel Lane, Penrith

[@CamperVanya]

@@julianlangdon3456 Watering down of things really gets my goat. I’ll bear the chippy recommendation in mind whenever I’m Penrith way 😋 👍🏻

[@ManyFunAdventures]

Hey, you kept bumping into an Elddis 180 motorhome. lol. That's what we've got, with upgrades. Damn I love Yorkshire. Such a beautiful place. So scenic. Lovely video and two very lovely girls too!

[@CamperVanya]

Ah, thank you, we always have a good time when we get together! Yep, Elddis they’re everywhere haha. 👍😀

[@vangrandad8295]

Another great video sue. Yorkshire is such a stunning place so much to see was up there last week maybe one day we will bump into each other 👍✌️ Take care Karl & Erica

[@CamperVanya]

Cheers for watching and commenting. Glad you liked it. I keep thinking it's only a matter of time before I bump into another KZbinr because we're all out and about in the same areas. I'll look forward to it! Have a great weekend 👍

[@TheBabblingBrookes]

Another place we keep missing…every time we book on to the CAMC site it gets flooded, May have to try your option 👍

[@CamperVanya]

Well this site is right beside a river so maybe not one for you 😂

[@DesGreene]

Hi Sue. That looked like a lovely campsite (I'd just have to learn some new songs for the lockless loos! ) Is it far from Hawes? Never visited, but looked like an interesting village. All the best & have a great weekend!👍

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Des, it was a lovely campsite in its riverside location. Actually one toilet door you could reach with your foot to hold the door shut! It’s only about a mile and a half from Hawes. Bri and I once walked from the C&MH club site through the fields to Hardraw on part of the Pennine Way. Lovely little walk. Definitely worth a visit. Have a great weekend too! 👍

[@CampervanTales]

Hawes is another one of our favourites. Good chippy there and I think we have visited every coffee shop in the town. Always spend far too much money in different cheeses. Another favourite place is Settle.

[@CamperVanya]

They're certainly both charming places. Have you been to Hardraw too? Definitely worth a look 👍

[@CampervanTales]

@@CamperVanya nope we haven't cos we are too tight to pay😀

[@CamperVanya]

@@CampervanTales Fair enough lol. We didn’t mind and really enjoyed our afternoon there. 😁

[@debspaul6635]

Looks amazing , defo on our list to visit ,

[@CamperVanya]

It's a really lovely hidden gem, you should visit when you get a chance. Take care, Sue.

[@janec1861]

Looks like you’re going to have some proper fun Sue, will be lovely to follow it. Like the tradition forming of a toast to Bri. Think I might do the same for Ian when I finally get my van, seems like Ann is on the same path - with a van due at the same time - hello Ann, isn’t Sue a star! Onwards and upwards chaps xx

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Jane, hope all is good with you? Clare & I certainly know how to let our hair down, it's always fun. Yes, Ann is also on our path and I would say we're ALL stars for getting back out there! I started my "To Bri" tradition on the Ribblehead trip which was the first time I'd ordered a drink from a pub since Bri died. ATB, Sue x (To Bri & Ian 🍻 x)

[@janec1861]

@@CamperVanya Cheers to us too mate, one day at a time x

[@cooperswayadventures]

A regular haunt, my mate plays guitar in there, £4 robbing gits, you can skip over at the right time, used to be 2. Go in there alot. Dales is home... But £4 is ridiculous... He sold the pub kept the accommodation at the back and waterfall land apparently. Glad you enjoyed. Shame the music weekends are not on anymore

[@CamperVanya]

Ah right, I remember last time it was about £2 and we accessed through the pub not the car park. I don’t mind if it goes on upkeep and we could spend as long as we wanted there. I suppose everywhere is robbing us this year!! I bet music nights at the Green Dragon were great!

[@cooperswayadventures]

@@CamperVanya Aye good nights.. Glad you enjoyed. I worked in that pub for easter 32 years ago when at college, accommodation was above the pub, old before the accommodation. Haunted for real....

[@CamperVanya]

@@cooperswayadventures I didn’t know it was haunted. I love a good haunting story!

[@cooperswayadventures]

@@CamperVanya My room was right above the bar, sleep was distubed constantly to the point were i turned and said right I've had enough.. Lots of energy going on. I also needed the bog over the landing... It was intense. There's also shadows seen across the bar especially when the wooden door is opened. The pub has completely changed for the better as it used to have red carpets throughout... The owner used to have the kings head in Reeth... But put it back to its old roots which you can see now

[@countryvanlifeuk]

Lovley vlog Sue “Two Sisters One Van” sounds like a Best seller 😜😘 I aint git a scooby do where we go Sue ?? But Im sure Bri is raising a glass with you sugar where ever it may be x 😘👊👍🚐 ATB to you and Sis Stephen..

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks Stephen, it was good to have her along. Won’t be the last time either, she loved it. Take care, Sue x

[@DesmondsDonders]

catching up we were on a Donder/

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@davidtalbot491]

4 quid to see that you must be of your trolly .

[@CamperVanya]

I was a bit of that mind when I first saw the price but it isn't just the waterfall. It's a lovely walk through beautiful grounds and you can stay as long as you want. We enjoyed it but yes I'm also off my trolly, so ... 🤷‍♀️
