We headed over the other side of the Pennines to enjoy a day out in Blackpool, we stealth camped in a pub carpark then called for a hike up Pendle Hill on our way back.

Love the the way Helen always has a proper pint. A good old Guinness 👍

[@SandraSlater-zx1ib]

What a fab relationship. If anyone is feeling bored or fed up, just watch Helen and James, it'll brighten your day 😅

[@dannymcmince]

So well said!

[@user-pp9bg6os2c]

Well done Helen you can’t beat a free shite in Morrisons of a morning 👍

[@Martin-iy1dj]

She is very rough and ready.

I’m enjoying your shenanigans you 2!!! Me & my husband do the same fun things when we aren’t working here in the USA! I just think you’re both great😊

[@adzbugz2643]

Back at it again with the banger.. You two are brilliant! You should definitely travel Europe that would be awsome to watch

[@somersetflower]

I love watching you and the lovely Helen on your walking adventures cos I'm unable to walk far now and I can remember the smell of the fresh air and cool rain . I love your Dad jokes 😂. And Helen is a tonic . So glad I subscribed. And the van life is suiting you so well. Jan 👵x

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Jan

[@seanoakes569]

Oh WoW! Thank you James & Helen - you have just got yourselves a NEW Subscriber 👌 What a great, down to earth & fun couple you guys are! 🥰 This video was so easy and relaxing to watch - coincidentally, me & my better half have just been to Blackpool (drive thru - trip up the coast) and saw all your ports of call. Last year we did Pendle - we went on The Pendle Sculpture Trail - great fun looking at all the sculptures dotted about in the forest (take a look at it sometime) We live in Preston - but originally I am from Wakefield - so I think that was -art of the reason, you were both so easy to watch & your sense of humour was just what I miss about Wakey… I see that you have a video from there (my next watch, in a few minutes 😉) & also many others video locations from my childhood - perfect! So… James, Helen - keep these amazing videos coming… I’m now set for a 25+ video catch-up marathon to watch all your video’s 👌🤗 Both take good care & stay safe out there - chat soon my friends 🫡

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Sean, We appreciate the kind words 🙂

[@alanwilkinson-wh9um]

Great to see u both laughing,life is too short to be serious all the time 👍🏻

[@lw7240]

Hello you two, look forward to the videos. You make me laugh. Brighten up our week. Great vlog Lisa xx❤😘

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Lisa

[@garysides636]

Great vlog you two .... Give me real food and real people anyday.....and it's your company which is the most important 🙏 It's great to see you two drink and eat it and then walk it off....a very good and happy life and long may it continue for you 🙏 Be safe , be kind G 🙏🦉🙏

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Gary 🙂

[@edltommyrobinson9782]

Love the Peter Kay "Spitting" bit, Great content as always sir and your good lady,

[@wormsnake1]

You two are just brilliant!! We need a tv show that just follows you guys on you’re escapades. Authentic and genuine. My only criticism is “we need more content”. Every other day preferably!! I hope the channel keeps growing. Good luck and all the best from Liverpool.x

[@bythecurb]

Thanks so much, I'd love to keep making more content, it just takes a while and I have my other work. We're off somewhere again though this weekend!! 😉

[@wormsnake1]

@@bythecurb I see. Looking forward to the next one. Keep them coming. My Mrs loves the channel too!!👌.x

[@LoftechUK]

You two make me giggle. Just how it is.

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Andrew

[@bripicsuk]

We love watching your videos and we are really thankful that there’s a back catalog as otherwise we’d have to wait for next new one, but thankfully we can fill the time by going back in time. You do an amazing job with the editing & music mixing.

[@ianharrop6580]

Love your videos - again top quality. Disappointed not to have seen the Corned Beef Sandwiches 🥪. My favourite, with onion or mustard 😂

[@bythecurb]

That sounds really nice Ian, I love both onions & mustard, might try that one today!! 🙂

[@nicolatweedle7509]

Love this vlog Pip. The sea is my happy place especially when it's quiet.

[@glennwilliams5869]

Great fun. Loving your choice of music in the edit as well James 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@harryharker9564]

Just living the dream and enjoying every minute of it. I am very humbled and privileged to share it with you both

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Harry

[@always.wondering.wandering]

Love it....The Chuckle Brothers! You two do make us all laugh. It's so fun to watch your videos. Hope you're hip is okay Helen. I was having trouble with my left one and found this supplement that did the trick, it has avocado and soybean unsaponifiables, the mixture reduces swelling in the joint. You have to let it build up in your system for 6-8 weeks and then it just seems to be like magic, the pain is gone. I love how you two are prepared for any kind of weather when you hike and just keep going sun, rain or snow. Looking forward to see what you two will be doing as Summer approaches. Have a good week!

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Adele, Helen has read your comment and is going to give the supplement a go.

[@glenoxman7904]

Nice one! Good to see you had your priorities right, sandwiches and Wetherspoons, you can't whack it! 😁

[@jeanettebrydges9568]

Love to see you go to lynmouth in Devon 😊 beautiful walks (and pubs!) ❤

[@tonysummers2343]

I love what you Two are doing, Ex Scouser living in Australia for 35 yrs now. Even though I 4x4 all over Australia , I enjoy your YouTubing. Keep it going.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Tony

[@jasonedwards7138]

Great vlog. Am originally from Nelson so spent a lot of time up Pendle and the surrounding pubs,left the area about 30 years ago but always go back.

[@andrewpeat7030]

Helen , get hip replacement done , had mine done , after 2 years of pain , its bloody brilliant .

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

highlight of the video was David Carradine's homage to death race 2000 on his mobility scooter lol. I always hated those pastic pink horse carriages....they remind me of another movie homage.... the boy in the plastic bubble lol... sorry, but Blackpool brings out the worst in me. 3-40 for some chips..... Think I'll cook me own in the van lol......preferably parked at Lytham 🤣 great video as always both of you. Bessy regs-Kenny

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Kenny, I think we were parked at Lytham with the distance we walked!!

[@Kenevans-cx5gk]

Love you guys another great vid yeh you were truly ripped off with the chips and drink I guess that's Blackpool for yah 😉

[@johnakyle5908]

Who would have thought , a sitar and flute would sound ok together.. another great video James . You guys know how to have a good weekend . My missus is the same in museums , daughter and me rolling our eyes at each other 😢

[@bythecurb]

I'll never go near another museum again with Helen. I do like them but she spends all day in there.

[@joanned9029]

[@hikingthehills1335]

I look forward to your videos so much, you are by far my favorite youtubers. Another great video😅. James have you thought of setting up a patrion account, viewers like me who love your videos could send you donations for pints and chips 😊.

[@joline2730]

hiking: You can buy them several cofffees (beer!!) link in the description ... 👍👍💯☕☕

[@bythecurb]

A few people have said that and it's something I'm considering.

[@1daysout]

My mate has lived in his motor home since 2003. Bit more spacious . He’s actually on KZbin. “Nev Cartledge.” His is photography channel but he’s a character.

[@bythecurb]

Hi, yes that will have been me. Thanks for telling me about the break light, I'll need to fix that before tomorrows trip!!

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Elaine

[@johnmitchell5351]

What about the Isle of Man or you could think about Ireland, just depends on how far you want to travel and how many days Helen can take of , mind you a rainy day in Clacton with you two is good enough for most of your followers,, anyway summer’s coming so be prepared for 2 weeks of sunshine 🤣🤣cheers John

[@user-xn3ks1tl1f]

You see life and places you wouldn’t normally see and meet people of all kinds. Chips with everything does it for me too. Unpretentious as always and fun to watch. Don’t stop 💕

[@bythecurb]

I love choosing the music for the videos

[@garyj7990]

🤣🤣🤣 The shoes on the stairs 🤣🤣🤣 Its true though you only ever see one shoe 😄

[@bythecurb]

Or a single glove

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I left home when I was 18 and moved to Blackpool in 1968. It was a lot of fun then. Haven't been back for years. Too old now. I'll stick with the hiking.

[@bythecurb]

The hiking was our best part of the weekend

[@stevengarnham8913]

Another great video.proper Yorkshire folk 😂

[@alexscott8667]

Love it guys now you need to go up Inglebourgh!!!!!!!

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

The pine forest you walked past on your left hand side is called ‘Low wood’ and is reported to be haunted. We have hiked Pendle a few times. Secondly, we know the The Shovels pub well as we live round the corner from it. 😊

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, didn't know the forest was haunted!!

[@Kloppofthepops]

I see dead treeple;-)

[@craigmelvin5206]

I think I like it because it's so real, so honest,

[@janeevans4758]

Brilliant 👌 that woman on the mobility scooter almost took Helen out 😂.. Blackpool looked very quiet, but it's still early in the season yet,the story that Helen told about the pendle witches is really fascinating, I read up on it a few years back as a fellow you tuber MCM outdoors goes up that way alot and does camp overs 👀..anyway I looked up the story and it's very fascinating indeed. Looks like you had a great weekend again,and Helen get that hip looked at!

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Jane, Helen is going to the doctor this week.

[@prettyeyes47]

Awesome video ! Helen going to use Morrisons bathroom 😍🤣...

[@PRESTIGEANDCLASSIC]

A way of getting further away but not having work and family commitments being a problem, you drive out to France or Italy, so on then Helen get's a flight out. Get a flight back, and you can stay on a while longer. I saw flights to France for under £10, Its crazy! also saw Rome for £25 once.

[@bythecurb]

That's a great idea. Thank you!
