Anglesey 2021 Vlog 19 Penmon Point, Leaving Anglesey

[@nelsonvictory1834]

Just thought we would say we enjoy your vlogs we were campervaners in the early 80ts in our orange vw we used to go to anglesey 6 or 7 times a year we are both disabled now so watching your films bring back happy memories for us so we say thankyou and we will follow your vlogs from now on so once again thankyou

[@jackieobyrne3003]

Mr 5 pounds🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Nelson. Sorry to hear you can no longer use a van, that must have been hard. I am glad you are enjoying the videos especially if they bring back good memories ❤️👍

[@gereshomeE]

How lovely! ☺

[@eng9040]

Loved the casual comment driving through street, folk have much worry about covi4 but no worry about stepping out on to the road. (42 yrs current SOCO)

[@MrJrunr]

For me, I know that as frustrated as I may get about traffic backups, I am always reminded to be patient, thankful and hopeful whenever I hear a ambulance siren. Safe Travels and stay dry !

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It suited us that day to just wait and charge the battery

[@diannedutton6127]

I'm eighty one and food never tasted as good as it does now! I really enjoy seeing what you two eat. In in USA, Georgia and I've had two trips to England and France. I love both. I really enjoy your videos.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hi Dianne. Good to read that it all tastes good at 81 ! I will be fine then 😁👍❤️

[@stevezodiac491]

" Mr five pounds" reminded me of Josh Fiddler ( Peter Butterworth ), the camp site owner, from carry on camping.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I shall have to watch that again now 😁👍

[@SilvertopMotorhomers]

Didn’t he just. That made me chuckle. Cheers Steve

[@louisesymonds9963]

The dog reminds me of when we were befriended by a collie on a Common we used to walk on. He always accompanied the walkers and had them throwing sticks for him. Beware though as we rescued a dog from the local kennels after this! Thank you for showing us Anglesey. Really enjoyed that. X

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Louise. I am sure we will get a dog one day. It would have to be a small one if we still have the little red camper 😀

[@louisesymonds9963]

That would be lovely. Having a dog is the main reason why I doubt the nv200 would work for us. I look at the space you and Carol work with and can’t see any room for our dog! Perhaps it could work with some careful thought. Look forward to the next episode. X

[@mattb1951]

☘️ u can Never get too much of been and seeing our beautifull countries all iover the world they’re God given and great memories thank you Carol n Men be safel

[@LifeistooshortCK]

You are so right Matt 👍🙂

[@currentconditions962]

Rain or Sun, England is Beautiful no matter the weather. Wish I were living there.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

And Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 😊👍

[@deborahfaithreiki]

You guys are amazing! I really enjoy watching you both on your travels. You really are quite relaxing to watch and you both give me a good old giggle from time to time. Thanks for taking the time to share your journey, do the editing and the uploads! Love from Cape Town, South Africa. PS ... I was at Carnavon Castle back in 1999, such happy memories! Sadly I haven't been back to the UK since, but I can still taste the cod and chips we enjoyed in Wales!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for watching Deborah. Glad we could bring back some happy memories for you. British fish & chips are hard to beat for sure 😀👍

[@jatorresrv]

"...from the 11th century..." WOW! Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@eamonnobrien1410]

Beautiful keep up the good work 👏

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for watching Eamonn 🙂

[@jasps6549]

That sauce packet anti-climax was hilarious! Great video as always.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Never been so disappointed by a sauce sachet 😆

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Good morning very enjoyable seeing the Anglesey it really does not matter where you go in the UK every area is so beautiful its one of the things I miss living here you can drive for miles and it never changes much , watching your videos is always a lovely treat with my morning coffee. We would love to have some of that rain a day of that would help so dry here 300+ fires burning in British Columbia alone. Looking forward to see where you are going next on this trip thanks for posting Anglesey .

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Cheers Shaun. Once the backlog of videos are cleared we will be off again 👍

[@Heather-JM]

I love the way you were with the little dog, so natural. Your vlogs are so relaxing and lovely to watch. Can't wait for your new adventures x

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I love dogs so having one join us like that for a walk was great 👍

[@ethanesmith]

We keep a diary, which we call, "The Ship's Log," in our NV200 campervan. It lives in the clipboard slot above the radio and we even take a Polaroid photo for each campsite we stay in, which gets taped into the log so we can remember where we camped, the date, and what the milage of the van was on that day! Cheers for another fun video!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That’s great to have a record of everywhere you have been and the photo as well is a good idea 😀

[@sanclewphotographic]

Wonderful stuff, these videos get better and better, just so natural and relaxing to watch, you must be the best channel on KZbin for this genre of video its simply wonderful, you and Carol give all your fans such an uplift and your both so natural in front of camera, and when Carol brought back that goody bag from Morrisons well I wondered what i would see cooked first, and it was the pasties one of my favourites, take care U 2, regards, Colin.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you Colin. Glad you are enjoying the videos. We aim to keep it all natural, just us and the little red camper 😊

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

I think that dog adopted you for a while. Loved the cave with layers of rock and great shots at Kinarven Castle.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It was great to have a doggie friend for the duration of the walk. Not sure we could cope with one full time though 😊

[@andycowley2639]

You both certainly get around. We went to Beaumaris the bike Friday an the weather was scorching, shorts and tee shirt were the order of the day, a little bit negligent I know but leathers were out of the question. You have given us some great places for park up and stay over night through your sequence of videos so thank you for that. We both look forward to your next adventure. Reply to ,"Steve Zodiac" ,Josh fiddler only asked for a pound each time.I guess that's what you call inflation. Andy.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I used to ride my Yamaha RD 250 in flip flops shorts and T shirt when I was 17, then spent several years stopping kids doing the same and advising them not to. Mind you I had seen what happens if you don’t by then 😱😁👍

[@andycowley2639]

@@LifeistooshortCK Ken that RD 250 now would be upward of six to seven grand low miles in good nick. Classics have shot up in price over the last few years. I have four to choose from so am spoiled for choice. And yes your right it was a little daft without protection.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It might be daft but I am not judging. We all do daft things and its part of enjoying life. I wish I still had the 250. I loved that bike. ❤️

[@motorhomenarrowboat1]

That was a lovely dog. The hole Island is very scenic. You guys have so much fun. Thank you for sharing.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for watching and commenting Thomas 👍🙂

[@grumpybear3229]

Great vlog Ken and Carol. Thanks for sharing.

[@mattb1951]

Good Morning friends lovely vlogs be safe been to those areas bungs bk find memories

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Glad to bring back some good memories Matt 🙂

[@CamperVanya]

A very true picture of a miserable weather day in a van! Still lovely surroundings though and a nice spot of the porpoise. I loved the "Goodbye Anglesey". It's been a cracking series 👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yep, always have a rain plan. 😁👍

[@jacquelinebell9186]

Loved your vid re wild camping bill & interaction/mention regarding same with campervibe on KZbin. Great 👍 I don’t own a van but love your vids and ethos ❤️❤️❤️

[@jimdoggydogg]

I love the tradition and ritual of having a mint whilst driving… or unwrapping it for the driver!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We have come to the conclusion that Murray mints are the best travel sweets 😊

[@johnbastien3872]

A lot of liquid sunshine. Supper looked great.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks John 🙂

[@jwilson2042]

If you go again to Devon, source out a Devonshire Oggy. It’s a bit like a pasty but the ones I’ve had are much nicer. ☺️

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Will do 😀👍

[@getawaygeese]

Another enjoyable watch sharing your life in the van - overnight sleep looks a good one albeit a small payment,

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It was a great spot and well worth the extra fiver. Thanks for watching 😀

[@maryg.249]

Thanks for the get away! I do enjoy your videos. Take care. Mary

[@LifeistooshortCK]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support and love reading your comments 😀

[@euansemple5598]

Thanks for the great series guys. We've clearly just scratched the surface of Anglesey.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

There was plenty more we didn’t see. Well worth a return visit one day 😀

[@ukgeographer]

Ken, There is a poplar saying in the dog world "Stick to toys" as it can be dangerous to throw sticks for dogs as they could get stuck in their throat requiring surgery. Balls and toys are apparently ok.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We haven’t heard that Adrian so thanks for letting us know 👍🙂

[@chrishines6148]

Great videos, especially love the drone footage 👌

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Chris 👍

[@wendylinsdell3681]

Great video again even with the bad weather , look forward to the next one .

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Wendy ❤️

[@michaelhodges2448]

Thanks for sharing the dog made it more interesting

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That dog had so much character, it made our walk more interesting too 😀

[@countryvanlifeuk]

Watchya Ken x Carol Lovely vlog again both x A week later and the heatwave came in ? Typical. 😂👍 The dog at Penmon is one of 3 His parents also at the Cafe. You should have tried the Delicious home made Cakes 🍰🍰🍰 from the Lady at The Cafe really Delightful. Travel Safe Take Care Both x 😘👍👍🚐🚐 Stephen.......

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Cheers Stephen. It was a beauty that dog.

[@michaelteale6386]

Lovely video once again. We get quite excited when we see one of your videos come up. Carol if you keep giving Ken all that lovely grub you'll have to get a bigger van haha. Im just jealous.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for watching Michael. No chance of getting a bigger van. Ken will just have to go on a diet 😁

[@Professionalmoochers]

Penmon point stole our hearts. We think you need a bigger van so you can have a van dog 🤩 We didn’t see that sea arch so looks like we’ll have to return and check it out. Another great video 👍🏼

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It would be a challenge to have one in our little van but we know people who do

[@alanjackson4646]

Another good Anglesey vlog. Have you considered using a power bank, I have a Jackery 500, a bit of an investment, but it is a handy standby when weather is dull. Love the way you send the wife off ‘foraging’ for comestibles! When a woman offers you her extra filling, you know she is a keeper !! Lovely park up at Caernarfon. Regards AJ

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for your comments AJ. It was only because the solar panel was faulty that we were running low on power, we have never had a problem in the past.

[@wendykillcrece707]

Lovely views despite the weather & very nice meal Carol 👍😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Wendy 😊👍

[@roaminginraymond]

We went to Caernarfon in our caravan days and really enjoyed it. We haven't been back in the motorhome because that park up is seems to be busy. Maybe we will try in winter time. Beaumaris Castle looked very nice though and never been there. Meal looked very nice.👌

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It was the busiest place we have stayed so far. Beaumaris - very pretty with that moat and the town is nice 👍

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Hello you two, the dog was so friendly🥰 a pity it was raining, but always good to have a plan B😉 take care👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

The dog was quite a character and very friendly. I guess it is used to being with a lot of different people 😀

[@the-other-windsors]

Great video. Loved your canine companion for the walk and of course the tasty, yummy meals.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks guys. We enjoyed playing with the dog and it was good company for the walk 😊

[@testpilotian3188]

11:37 couldn’t agree more, it wasn’t really a problem back during the lockdowns (I worked throughout) but now it’s a major issue as there’s usually something coming the other way that you can hit, I’m glad my boss put two dashcams in the rig just in case one of these fools gives me no chance to miss them, quiet scary to think people would rather chance their arm against a 4T van than pass by someone on the path.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Some pedestrians seem to have lost all sense of road safety in their anxiety to avoid getting too close to another human being 😖

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers. We went to Caernarfon when we visited in 2017. One of my favorites places in all of of the UK.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We hope to return one day when we can get tickets to see inside the castle 🙂👍

[@D4vidSH]

It was a beautiful vlog of Anglesey. So relaxing journey, that I became relaxed too. Thank you very much for the efforts you put in this vlog. Greetings from Germany and looking forward to the next trip. Stay safe! 😊🖖

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks David and greetings to Germany. There is more of North Wales to come 🙂

Thanks Nadine 😊👍

What an amazing adventure I find Lidl pastys the best off the bunch def looked like a porpoise nice park ups all the best donny

Cheers Donny. I watched that flooding you had. Sorry to hear the police didn’t respond. What a nightmare.

[@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854]

@@LifeistooshortCK Yes it was but we all ok I was hoping they might close the road but it went about half hour after waiting on council to put a new seal on the front door

[@Wizardinthewild]

Loved your “rentapet”! Carnarvon castle looked awesome from the drone too. We must get up there ourselves before too long. Beautiful part of the world. Hope the weather has improved for you 🧙‍♂️

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks. It was great to have the dog accompanying us for the walk. Don’t think we could cope with one full time though 😊

Thanks Chris & Sheila. Be sure to say hello if you see us. Safe and happy travels 😀👍

Nice.

[@SilvertopMotorhomers]

Hi both. I’ve recorded that moment for posterity. Ken refused food. In years to come it will be on one of those ‘Today’s the day’ competitions. Ha ha 😂. Lovely video again you two and free park ups yet again. Sally was on the edge of her seat with the dog from the Penmon Cafe. She is just like that dog herself and tarts herself with anyone who even remotely shows any interest. All the best from Mal, Dave and Sally the Lab aka The SilvertopMotorhomers

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@Thomas-cp6qe]

Thanks for the video. The footage of the Menai Bridge crossing was phenomenal and also the view of Caernarfon Castle. I love these old castles and feel that history still resounds within them. I must visit it one day, you have whetted my appetite. BTW I know you both look very competent drivers but are either of you a 'back seat' driver? Sorry, I just wondered. :)

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I am more of a back seat driver than Carol although if I make a mistake she soon lets me know. 😁👍

[@stevezodiac491]

I remember as a 10 year old boy watching Prince Charles's investiture at Canaerfon Castle on TV in the main hall at Junior School in 1969. I can also remember a large local protest against the holding of the investiture. The investiture ceremony was re-introduced by Lloyd George, probably because he was also Welsh. Although very nice to watch, it wasn't a patch on the USA taking off for the moon in Apollo 11, which I also watched at school on TV in the same year, in the same room.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

What great memories Steve. We wanted to see inside the castle but all the tickets had been sold. Will try and come back one day 🙂

[@1MogJon]

Very enjoyable video, thank you. Bulkeley is pronounced 'Buckley' and locals pronounce Beaumaris the same as the first part of the word beautiful - so 'Beeyoumaris'.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the help on pronunciation. We didn’t know that about Beaumaris either 👍🙂

[@TheHarrip]

Are the high vis for breakdowns? that's smart

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes, they are a legal requirement in some European countries. We put them over the seats so it looks like someone is sitting there when we leave the van 🙂

[@bedclintred]

Did he get £5 more out of you? Somebody has to go out in the rain & it's not going to be me!! 🤣🤣 Carol did bring something nice back, herself!! What was that wait & see like Ken!! 👍😁😍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes he came to the van early the next morning to collect another £5. Always appreciate Carol returning from the supermarket with food 😁😆😋

[@assassinjane]

Ahoy Pirates! .) Great piece, especially the dog buddy! Priceless jokes again /'seagull with a dirty look - that one got me/, right after my early morning swim. Any idea how can I bring the phone in the lake with me when I go for the daily rolls without the good old Blackthorne? Keep going, dear folks! Bear hugs, Kata

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hi Kata. There are various waterproof pouches you can get for phones but its always going to be a risk if you fall in. Just make sure whatever you use is attached to you. 😁👍

[@assassinjane]

@@LifeistooshortCK Thanks, I want to find a way to have 2 free hands while filming.🤔😎 If swimming or biking, I need sg to place my phone on my head, or a head-cam would be a better choice?! 🤔😅

[@davidcottrell6290]

The dog belongs to the café

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Its very popular. Seen it on a few videos now.

[@grimwulf8547]

I wonder if you cared to do a short video one day on day to day costs. e.g. petrol for 2 days driving around, food, the odd car park fee, entrance to an interesting castle or similar. Im 3/4 of the way saving up for my van, a years insurance, maintenance and petrol. Any info on day to day costs would help me and others plan for future trips and avoid financial surprises!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We will give some thought to that 👍

[@michellecook2855]

Did the ‘give me a fiver’ man catch you on the way out? I noticed you spotted the lay-by just along from PP where I parked for the night. It was hot and sunny last week but you may have a point about it being blustery in bad weather. How do you stay so slim Carol eating pasties and cakes and Pringles (or are they just for you Ken? 😆)

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Mr fiver came knocking on our door in the morning for his money💰 That lay-by looked like a good park up for a nice sunny evening - lovely view. Carol tries not to eat too much and avoids snacking between meals but she does have a sweet tooth and enjoys a nice cake 🍰 🙂

[@dylanhartigan11]

Hello again, I heard you mention apple car play, my nv200 has this ( a grundig one ], I’ve not got to grips with it yet , is it complex to use or ineffective as I got impression you are not a fan ? Am a bit concerned As I did pay extra with Sussex to get this fitted also with reversing camera ? Thanks Brenda

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Its easy to use. Our problem is that the gps position when navigating is incorrect. We have not managed to get it to work properly yet. Maybe your Grundig will work better. I hope so 👍

[@dylanhartigan11]

Thanks reply, when you say gps is incorrect , what does this mean, excuse my ignorance! So does this mean you cannot use or rely on the apple car play, am hoping il get hang it , but at mo it’s all a minefield to me 😞! No clue
