I Found Cornwalls BIGGEST Scam and Theres NO Way To Avoid It - Car Camping in the South

[@JoyDivision88]

Thank goodness I got to see Lands End before all that commercial crap was built on it. First time I went I was 5 years old and I still have the photo of the Lands End signpost that my parents got showing the distance to Birmingham. Went again as an adult about 12 months before they started building there. Just parked up and walked around. Not every commercial idea improves an area.

[@The-Good-Life-Off-Grid]

@@JoyDivision88 I remember in the 60s late 60s on there and there was a little heart and they made the most beautiful Cornish pasty as big as your plate dinnerplate. It was absolutely beautiful and I can still taste it now when I think about it it’s just a moneymaker just makes you sick doesn’t it I went back again when I was 15 and I don’t think that they were charging then but I think they were starting building. I can’t quite remember. I went down a few years ago and to be honest with you, I don’t want to go back down there again. Too busy and I found the people to be quite horrible. I’m sorry to say

[@jasetann5286]

Can’t believe you have to pay to touch the sign. Lived there my whole life up to 18 months ago and never had to pay. So glad I’m not down there anymore. Keep up the good work Adam 👍

[@014london70]

Pretty sure there were cameras as you enter the Lands End parking lot if I remember correctly. I was there last year and could believe they had a picket fence around the sign. None of that at John O’groats eh! If you walk a mile or so along the cliff to the left of lands end you have Nanjizal beach. Very nice indeed. Other great beaches are Porthcurno and Kynance cove. Cheers

[@lee1973n]

Your best parking at Sennen Cove and walking to Lands end. Much better and some beautiful coastline on the way. Saying that I wouldn't visit that tourist trap anyway. Make sure to visit Kynance cove if your heading for the most southernly point which is Lizard. 👍

[@theexplorer6813]

Handbrake light coming on usually means low brake fluid Car off ~12.5volts. Car running. Good alternator 14.4v max. Other wise settles at 13.5v

[@stephenshippam9374]

Hi just just came across your Chanel and subscribed, really enjoyed this Cornwall as I was born there, and used to live near lands end, ,now watching your other videos,

[@alanslade2319]

Well done that man, another great show ADAM thanks 👍💯👍

[@pipr7455]

Adam, you can park at Sennen Cove carpark for a lot less and walk around the headland to Lands end.

[@boatingmanchester]

13.4v for your battery is healthy fella nothing wrong with that it can still work perfectly fine at 12.4v ! And looking at the prices for car parking and picture taking for 10.99 seems like the pirates never left Cornwall

[@TheBlackgreyhound]

The lizard is the most southern point and it’s worth a visit

[@TelfordO]

Yup lizard point.

But ask about prices of food when ordering, £8 for a pasty and £2.5 for a tea

[@kimallen8521]

Absolutely loving seeing you down in my birth county, sadly can't afford to live there now but I do visit often, it has become ridiculously expensive sadly 😔

[@SirRicheybee]

14.4 volts would be the fully charged state when on charge, once it's off charge it will settle to about 13.3 Volts and still be fully charged. If I remember you have a Victron Dc-Dc charger so you might want to check that you've setup the correct setting so that it charges at the correct voltage. Best thing to do would be to check you battery manufacturers recommended charge settings and adjust the Victron accordingly. You will need the Bulk charge voltage and the float charge voltage settings. If you have a Victron mppt solar charger you want to mimic the same settings.

[@wanderingwhere]

brilliant mate cheers kind of makes a bit more sense ill take a look

[@ThePaul464]

Just watched this one mate . Another cracking episode mate with a mix and mash of fantastic scenery views and cooking comedy 😜👌🏻.

I haven’t seen Land‘s end since I worked there when it first sold and did the first construction work there right through the winter so very cold windy wet place in the winter and i can’t even remember how many years ago that was . It is very nice to see you there. Hope you enjoyed Cornwall. It would be great to see you back again. I don’t suppose you will. But another really good video, thank you

Lovely sight seeing in Cornwall. Everywhere down there is very expensive but it is a beautiful place. Xxxx

[@Dave64track]

Enjoyed the video its a great location with those stunning views. The current will keep going up and down as the induction cooker regulates the temperature that's normal. The car battery voltage should be between 13.2 to 13.6 volts it shouldn't go up to 14 volts.

[@The-Good-Life-Off-Grid]

When you go to lands end, make sure you go at like 10 o’clock at night, I left 7.30am there’s still lights around any park up for free I’ve still not had any letters or a fine for two years big scam

[@vickimathews1970]

Adam, you're such a funny bugger. I use an induction stove almost every day, yes it does go up/down in regards to wattage/temperature, when it's on, that's just the way they work, nothing wrong with your system. If you use the lid when you start cooking, the meat will cook from the inside and at the same time keep the spitting of the food going around your van...lol...just an idea. Remember to let the induction stove cool down with its fan before switching it off at the power point, you can switch it off on the actual induction stove, but not the power point until it's cooled down and its fan has switched off. Just a few hints and tips, feel free to ask any questions if you want.

[@paulmallett6516]

Hi Adam, loving your vlogs pal. Feel like I’m on the adventure with you. Love exploring places, especially Mam Tor, & surrounding mini mountains, slipped once coming down a mountain lol. If you look at 4:29 minutes in on the video, you’ll see the guy looking puzzled near you lol. You have to pause it to notice lol. Enjoy pal

[@teej710]

I did john o'groats to lands end, in 2022. What a contrast. John o'groats was an 'optional' parking fee (signs everywhere saying don't forget to pay for parking, but it's a voluntary donation) and going for a photo with the sign was free. Lands end was just a money making scam, as you pay for everything. Parking was £4 at the time. I managed to get a free photo at the lands end sign post, because the attendant, had gone for lunch 👍🏼

[@cazza5969]

I haven’t belly laughed in such a while. The rice spitting everywhere was hilarious! Sorry but that was brilliant 😂

[@dialemmaz]

Your battery is probably fine if it’s reading over 13 it’s in great shape. It will read more while charging but will immediately drop when not charging.. if the battery ever reads below 9 then it’s f@kt! But anything above 9 it should charge…to 12….if it takes ages to charge that also indicates battery is good & if it fully charges in minutes from flat then it’s also probably dead… hello btw 😊

[@The-Good-Life-Off-Grid]

And if you go after 6 o’clock in the evening, when the blokes not there, you can just go and get a selfie picture what a scam . never had to pay to get a photo taken as kids with our family in the 70s and there was no way you would charge then 🙄

[@wanderingwhere]

yeh the guy actually said the same thing, he was really cool just in a bit of an odd situation/job

[@john-paulb847]

Just go in the evening after 6 or whenever it is. There’s no charges and usually no one about so you can wonder round wherever. You get 20 mins free parking anyway if you just want to take a quick selfie at the sign! I was there the other day.

[@wanderingwhere]

yeh saw that although id already been there for 15mins at that point 😉

[@_Brendan__]

😂 ive never seen popcorn rice before, always a laugh when your burning 😂😂😂

[@SuperLewis05]

How are you charging the battery? If you have a smart alternator then you need a DC to DC charger I think as it could be that. I use a split charge relay on my campervan and I was lucky my alternator is not smart . It gives off around 14v

[@justkidding9751]

If your cooking doesn't kill you the bad spillages that go mouldy and gather in the carpet and the little gaps between all the built in cupboards will.

[@rob8155]

You should have parked at Sennan Cove and walked along the coastal path, about 30min walk. Also, you would have seen the ship wreck, weather and tide permitting, could have also gone down to it too. Also, England's most southerly is, Lizard point and well worth a visit. Land End is well overrated!

[@adrianshute8829]

Don't know if you've been to Ireland but you must go its stunning and wild camping is allowed on many beaches with showers there which the surfers dude's use...

Is that a induction pan? All induction cook tops turn of and on at lower heat setting, at max it stays on.

As a proud Cornish woman I won’t visit Lands End as they charge too much!

[@wanderingwhere]

Yeh it was all a bit mental

[@noncompliance4100]

Not all alternators are built the same. I've had 2.1L transits that only produced 13.7v. So I usually opt for bigger vans for conversion to camper so that I get that beefier alternator. Not really surprising that the tiddly biscuit tin has a puny alternator. Although not the end of the world as Im sure it is possible to swap it out for a more powerful alternator. Although if you have to make custom brackets etc to hold it then you want to be sure you are going the whole hog and not relying on a piddly little cig lighter socket to deliver power to your leisure batts. Buy a hefty cable to run from your victron to your lesuire batteries and replace that cig socket in the boot with something more heavy duty like a Hella socket. with a decent size cable then you wont melt the plugs. I used to run my split charge system on smaller 6mm squared cable but it would take hours and hours of driving to fully charge my leisure batteries. Once I upper the cable it could deliver much more amperage to my house batts and they would be full charged from half empty in a 30 minute drive. Much better for small overnight hops around an area.

You do not seem to understand the mining accident? There was a beam Engine (Steam engine) connected to a wooden beam which went from the bottom of the shaft to the top. Each rotation of the fly wheel took the beam twelve foot up or down the shaft. The long beam in the shaft had cross pieces where men could step onto or off, the shaft had stepping off points all the way down so men went down in twelve foot steps until they reached the bottom, reverse on coming up! A large number of people would be on the beam at start or end of shifts sadly it was at this time the beam gave way and a large number of men died. Very sad!
