Love watching your trips, you are brilliant, make me smile, keep up with your work, as long as you can ❤

[@garybrocklehurst9483]

Hi Mark and Lisa, we enjoy watching your travels but wonder about your life before full time van life. Should try sunny South Shields sometime, we've got a beautiful coastline and free parking. Gary and Susan

[@amandabarrett3752]

Oh people have nothing better to do than criticise just ignore them and carry on doing what your doing ❤

[@NorthernersonTour]

Thank you xx

[@awolwakefieldyorkshire]

I'm pleased that it worked out for you both. Keep up the great Vlogs 🙂

[@NorthernersonTour]

Thank you! Will do!

[@MotorhomeMums]

Love Durham, we visited earlier this year. We are member of CAMC and found that Durham Amateur Rowing Club have a CL site which is just a short walk along the river from the city centre. I cant remember the cost but I do remember at the time thinking what good value it was. As a CL site it of course had water and CDP, but there was also a small cafe attached to the club so added to the ambience. We travel full time with our two labradors so stealth mode isn’t an option for us. I just don’t understand places that are not dog friendly, they must miss out on so much trade. Laughed when Chico forgot he was in stealth mode 😂

[@Steve-k6e5v]

Great vlog as ever, Durham looks great, keep up the great work. Look forward to the next one

[@DianeNeedham-c7k]

Hi Lisa, Mark and little Chicco...Great vlog as usual. ❤

[@juliaharbey8643]

Thanks for that tour. My grandmother came from Durham and I've always wanted to go ❤

[@marke293]

One question for your upcoming Q&A vlog and the question is what were your jobs before you went full-time van life ? Keep safe and keep the camera rolling

[@tinagorman308]

hi question for your Q and A what was your jobs you had to give up to do your KZbin channel

[@susanhoward864]

Durham is beautiful one of our favourites. Nice to know about the parkand ride too

[@NorthernersonTour]

yes it’s a eye opener

[@mozit8063]

I know. Don't get why dogs can't go some places. They are part of the family. We now live in Mallorca and doggies allowed into shops and cafes. X

Used to like going to Durham, my great grandmother used to live there.

[@NorthernersonTour]

we loved it

[@soulmindshypnotherapyholis4786]

Durham is magnificent, it’s connected to Lindisfarne, with St Cuthbert. You should make your way up to Lindisfarne, you can park in main car park( you can’t overnight on the island, but you can pull into the pull in place before you cross the tide, you can overnight there!)

[@NorthernersonTour]

we have already done lindisfarne check back on passed vlogs ❤️❤️❤️

[@lulumiller1104]

🇬🇧🦋🚐absolutely loved your adventure in Durham , we never knew how beautiful it is .. now on list to see , love little 🐕 in stealth mode . Loving catching up on adventures .. can see we nearly lost mark down a drain , was worried when approaching dury lane Ginnel … definitely have to keep Paul away from there . I was worried at the start about being locked in … great positive outcome . 🎉 Take care , Keep safe ❤ lulu and Paul 🚐🦋🇬🇧

Q&A Hi Mark and Lisa - Where do you empty your grey and black waste if not going on site, as there are not a lot of places to do this in the uk? Also only see two videos a week of you going into towns etc what do you do the rest of the week? xx

[@HeatherWilliams-y9l]

Well great to see Mark stayed on his feet Lisa you make me laugh my hubby thinks I have a new soap to watch as I won’t miss a minuet even for a cuppa can not wait till the next on from Heather Chris

Enjoyed my trip around Durham, it seemed quite clean and tidy 👍. You will have to get mark a cordless angle grinder for Christmas for the thicker padlock, but that one if need be could have been opened using 2 screwdriver's 👍👍😁

Great video, thanks for sharing. We were only in Durham last week.

[@paulstevenson615]

Great vlog from Durham guys, when you think of university’s, it’s normally Oxford or Cambridge that come to mind. I didn’t think of Durham as being a contender. Thanks for the heads up, I know a lot more about Durham now, it looks a lovely place to visit. I’m still not sure why Roger Whittaker wanted to leave Durham Town. Answers on a postcard 😊

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

Another cracking video guys. regarding nasty comments about chico stealth mode....fluff em! ( cleaned that up for the chube) Glad you didnt get locked in. Its my nightmare about being locked in . I made arrangements to meet with a mate for a night out in a place called Pheasents lake which was a fishery and cafe in the back of beyond- one of them park and buy a meal etc. I was waiting for my mate to get there and a bloke came and told me they were closing early but he'd be locking the gates til the morning. I really didnt want to stay there isolated and locked in on my own so I left and never got to meet my mate. Its good if you can get out but what if summat happens in the night and no way to get out? Any hoo, glad you guys were not locked in and it was a great rekke round Durham and I learned a bit about mustard history. Never a dull video on NOT thats for sure. All the best to you and Mark and big whoof to Chico- Kenny

[@denisebell8422]

Try Mayflower curry sauce I get mine from b&m it's delish 😋😋

[@helenbavin1980]

Another brilliant vlog…totally gutted that you were at Belmont park and ride and we didn’t know…we would have loved to meet you. My husband…also Mark…would even have brought you a takeaway from our local Chinese….£6.30 for chicken fried rice…but our treat if ever you pass again…we live just off the junction below the one you were near (Coxhoe). Durham is a beautiful city and fantastic cathedral….we were lucky enough to have a couple of our grandchildren christened there ! Keep vlogging and enjoying your travels…love to all 3 of you…Helen & Mark x

Ohhh he is gutted to now Helen I have just showed him your message lol 😂😍🥰

Mark , there is an all you can eat Chinese buffet down by the river. So when you were stood with your back to the castle and cathedral on the bridge . It on your right at river level.

Great video, loved trip around Durham. So enjoy your humour.

[@ericbird714]

Hi you two , question Lisa was it love at first sight when you first set eyes on Mark , and how did you both meet 😂

[@PaulDevall]

Seems a good idea but they could easily have been around to tell you the gate was locked. That padlock won't stop travellers!

[@NorthernersonTour]

hi paul travellers will not break in to get in some where there rule is if some where is accessible they can stop there other wise it’s a no go if they left the gates open traveller would camp in there

Hi Lisa and Mark. Blimey when i saw you were the only people parked there, i thought you were really locked in and would have to pay. Thank god you were okay lol. Mark's obsessed with chinese food . Loved seeing the market, looked good. Durham reminds me of Lincoln with the alleyways and the cathedral , and castle. The university buildings were amazing.Also the architeture really lovely to see.

[@AnthonyHoey]

Mark and lisa I enjoyed your latest video. I see your doing a q and a. So my question is you have done miles in the UK and Europe which of those miles has given you the most smiles and why? Also I can I ask how do you both cope with stress living and working in your campervan? Have you any remedies to cope with stress? Maybe send a mug to the person who sends you both the best question?

Hi Lisa and Mark love all your vlogs we've only been following last few months it's been great catching up on a lot of the past vlogs, a suggestion could you not number number them! I 've told my sister in law to follow you's as they have a motor home, question coming up.. what were your jobs before you's retired and before you sold your home ?? My husband thinks Mark is well up on electrics and gadgets so could that have been his job in the past ! 👍 Kisses for Chico we love him , we had a Greyhound for 13 years can't believe how big he was compared to your Chico 😆 x

If you enrol on a cheap online, distance learning course, etc., this then qualifies you for a student discount card. I'm now in my 60s and have had student card via this method quite a few times. However, calculate if using the student card will save you more than what the cost is to buy the card & course.

Question for your next vlog. Now you’ve been back more than 90 days when will you heading back to Europe where they’re more motorhome friendly and the weather isn’t so grey and wet?

[@alisoneyers2450]

No. The University is spread throughout the city. Administrative plus some bits of each college life are in the old bits. Heading out the majority of colleges have separate buildings. Durham, like Oxbridge, is a Collegiate University. You request a place in a College, then come together to study the different disciplines. History, Mathematics, Computers, Sciences…..the list is considerable. Each college has its own library. Then there is a huge library for all students to use in a separate building. The river does a horse shoe bend in the city which makes the layout very confusing. I suggest you look at a map of the city, taking note of the different bridges which cross the loops of the river, before visiting. Xx
