Our Campervan Conversion is Struggling (Devon and Cornwall UK Travel Vlog 2022)

[@nedkelly2677]

hi! I don t know if it is just me, but the quality of your videos get increasingly better.double thumb up

[@LadyBMotorhomeAdventures]

We bought ourselves a Garmin 780 sat nav that allows us to add in dimensions etc so we know we can drive with confidence. Also it has free maps for life. Best purchase ever, no scary moments!

[@sharonwengler3225]

Love all the ways you can describe rain.😀 Taking a moment to soak up the ocean air does the soul good.💙

[@terry362]

Where do I begin… This video has everything in it. The locations, narrow roads, park ups, secluded beaches, vegan food, and not forgetting the chemistry between you both. I love it all! Have a great Sunday. Can’t wait for the next video. 🥰🇬🇧🥰

[@briangardner1641]

Reminds me when i towed a twin axel Caravan in Devon, they dont cut the hedges !!!!! why ?

[@wendyjones3953]

@@briangardner1641 Perhaps to keep the tourists away. LOL!

[@leanneelliott7256]

Currently lying in bed in my van in Cornwall watching you travel through Devon. I moved down here in 2003 and never went back! There’s some fab places to see, but you’re right… down some really narrow roads and I’ve been thinking about you guys and Morgan a lot as I’ve been travelling around at the weekends and on our mini breaks in our VW slimline van! Which is great for mini breaks but I wouldn’t want to live in it. Keep being adventurous. Keep inspiring others to seek adventure, freedom and fun. Keep enjoying life and each other. And thank you for sharing your life’s and experiences with us. Stay safe x

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you for your kindness ❤️👍

[@lisac4908]

Love that you're doing twice weekly vlogs now, already looking forward to Wednesday's one 😀

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Yay 🥳🥳🥳

[@rodgercaldwell7804]

Just picked up on your channel and seen in the intro you're doing a trip "around britain". Looking at your graphic, I think you've missed out the best bit 😱

[@ThoseHappyDays]

@@rodgercaldwell7804 we say majority of Britain...but we realise we only did a teeny part of Scotland during that time

[@geecee8864]

My garmin drivesmart 76 let's you put vehicles dimensions in. Also has wireless Bluetooth rear front and side cameras options which can be bought separately. And it frees up but connects with phone for live traffic updates and what 3 words etc.

[@sos6121]

Hi Guys, fab video, big vans and small lanes always a tad difficult. I just wanted to say that since watching you (I'm quite new) I've had the courage to go and camp with my VW all on my own. I loved it. Slept better in the van than I do at home. So thank you. Take care

[@boltonsrus1]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha......I'm from Australia and have just got back from a trip to South England. You think Devon is bad for roads!!! Cornwall is even worse!!! I thought the whole way around when I was driving how the #### does Morgan get through roads like this? Good luck my friends. Can't wait for the next vid. x

[@ThoseHappyDays]

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

[@sst6358]

Rocky valley in Cornwall, there’s ancient drawings on the rock there going back thousands of years ago it’s fascinating 💚💚 enjoy your journey

[@dee2251]

When you get to Cornwall, try to go to Porthcurno and the Minnak theatre, an outdoor Greek-style amphitheater built by a lady! They have plays there. It has the most incredible backdrop. The sea is the most incredible blue and the sand is white and fine. It’s like being in the Bahamas.

[@LadyFisher12]

They best park down in the carpark facing the pub for the Minack visit and walk up there, Their van will have trouble getting up that hill

[@traceymorgan-willcox2914]

My favourite beach ever. We visited in May on a hot sunny day and we could have been anywhere in the world. We hired the cottage at the top of the beach for a week around 20 years ago, it has such a special place in my heart

[@sarahburton3110]

Sidmouth folk festival is well worth experiencing. A gorgeous town and fantastic music and local food

[@alannorman1773]

Loved the vlog guys. Nice The mushrooms looked so good too but maybe that's cos I'm currently starving 😆

[@jotruby7707]

Thanks for a great vlog, which brought back so many happy memories of when I lived in East Devon, just inland from Seaton from 1969-97. Yes, the lanes are very narrow especially around Branscombe. Cornwall is even narrower around the coastal towns/villages. So beware & I hope the weather improves. Now live in Mid-Wales, so will be watching your next vlogs with interest.

[@gingerwimbledon1175]

Yet another great vid,you two are a brilliant team for getting around this beautiful country,i love watching these Sunday morning journeys.Keep em comin👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Love you watching too

[@traceygriffiths8919]

This bought back lots of memories for me.. so was quite emotional.. thank you both so much for sharing your coastal adventures..my favourite place is a beautiful beach x safe travels 🫶🏻

[@clairrollings3988]

Janine looks fabulously fluffed up after that shower! You are now in my old territory Devon, loved watching this!

[@ThoseHappyDays]

🤣🤣🤣

[@LadyFisher12]

We live in Cornwall and suggest your best bet would be to stay to A and B roads wherever possible. There are gorgeous lanes everywhere to explore but some you would have trouble getting even a small car down. It might help to check out bus routes for coastal towns as they give a good indication of where you can reach, for example if a bus can go there so can your van. Big tip for you don't rely on satnavs in Cornwall, local papers often have reports of those who did. Once again this was a charming video to watch and We look forward to catching many more! Enjoy Cornwall :)

[@sarahburton3110]

I loved North Devon when I was there in 2000. We stayed near Seaton and Ruda.

[@risenshine2783]

lovely video! I heard about those narrow roads but never seen them before!

[@shirleythomas222]

Loved this video, finally you are somewhere that I know, good luck in Cornwall, very narrow and hilly there too.

[@debshamish6533]

Living in Cumbria with roads which can be struggle even in a car, with tractors etc - especially during tourist season - I don’t venture into the Lakes unless its off season… Far too busy and utter nightmare on the ‘popular’ routes. Utmost respect to you for even attempting Cornwall in Morgan 👍 Safe travels 🚛

[@nickymercer4398]

Lovely vlog L&J, those tall hedges have been like that for years, remembering when we used to go caravaning as a child down in those parts. Such beautiful beaches around there. Enjoy, see you Wednesday for more adventures 🥰

[@Bebop6521]

Awww Sundays complete when your videos appear! Sorry to hear you have had issues! As the old saying goes " it never rains but it pours " lol Stay safe and thank you for the journey!!! ❤

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you Angela ❤️

[@OldRopeSalvage]

Ahhhh! We live in Cornwall and we're building our own BIG home on wheels right now, an old Bedford Firetruck. You'd be amazed at some of the massive lorries we see squeezing their way down the narrow lanes down here, but if you can survive Cornwall in a big vehicle, you can survive anywhere! Watching your journey with huge interest, as this is what we want to do when we've finished the build. Happy travels to you.

[@alisonpeirce5489]

Omg! We were in Sidmouth and Totnes last weekend! Go to Brixham and Dartmouth both are very beautiful. Also Torcross and Slapton sand's. Have a good week xx

[@markp7745]

Another interesting video. We live in North Devon and are well used to the narrow country lanes especially with our campervan! Your reversing skills will be second to none by the time you've finished Devon & Cornwall. Many of the narrow lanes are up to 5' narrower this time of year with the foliage growth! Let us know when you're in North Devon, we'll try & give you a 👋

[@1974ted]

When you get to Dorset you should visit Lulworth cove and walk over to Durdle door. You should also visit the County town of Dorchester and and see Maiden Castle, one of the best Iron Age hill forts in the world👌

[@christinemclaughlin6504]

Brilliant video,Devon looked gorgeous and those views of the red cliffs and sea were stunning.I’d love to live down on the south west coast,no place better in the uk.Take care you guys and see ya Wednesday.👍

[@moirabardin9030]

fantastic views lovely 4th beach, its like your going on a mystery tour 😀 enjoy ❤

[@melaniemorrison7855]

Lovely Vlog, hope Morgan hasn't got too many scratches on him, those roads can be very difficult. Have a great week xx

[@sarahstrong7174]

That is a lovely road by Devon standards! I have been down some narrower, & winding so much it was impossible to tell which diection you were heading in, also had no road-surface left, jolting all over & deep holes in places.

[@berenicesue]

So enjoy your videos. You have the best life! Continue to enjoy for as long as you can!💕

[@carold8308]

Ha ha ha. I’ve just seen, you chose Devon & Cornwall !!! I’m going to enjoy, as always, this vid.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

🤣🤣

[@lincoles8301]

Love this we are off to Paignton tomorrow for a few days.Have great memories of Seaton trams.We sat downstairs inside the rest of the family upstairs,half way up the heavens opened they were drenched we sat laughing in the dry😂. Yes Janine my grandchildren were convinced that figure at the life boat station was real too ! Have a great time.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

🥳🤣🤣

[@beckyj.2180]

Another great vlog Janine, the moment you sat on the beach and closed your eyes....perfect....what about a couple of folding bikes? Park and ride🚲🛴

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Just a magical place ✨️

[@wendyjones3953]

While driving down those tiny, winding Cornish roads, we make a mental note where each farmers gate leads into a field, then when we meet oncoming vehicles it helps us decide if we should be the ones reversing into the gate entrances.They are really handy passing places.

[@jeanladkoo349]

Thank you for another great video, I'm really happy that there will be two videos per week, I look forward to see where you are and I'm beginning to feel I know you you both,

[@Ch-wk7zc]

Loved the drone Janine musics reallys nice spot on video 💋

[@thexxit]

What a chill time by the seaside... seeing you guys on the beach was enough to relax me!

[@shirleywormald3197]

Wow those roads were a bit scary,good luck with the rest of your trip 😍

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you

[@margsmith687]

Beautiful scenery but those narrow roads freak me out a little. Thanks for showing us .

[@sueprior9184]

Loved the video. Fully understand the problem with narrow roads. I struggle with my large car. Perranporth beach is lovely. Could be busy but great for a sunset. There is a carpark in the centre but if you carry on driving up the hill there is a large carpark on top of cliffs. It has a pub on the sandy beach. A great cliff walk from Perranporth. Good luck

[@Stu28732]

Another excellent vlog…loved the drone shot over the water. Happy Sunday 🤩 take care and stay safe. x

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thanks man, have a great day

[@susie5668]

That's was a great video, sorry you had some issues with the water guys but things always get sorted out looking forward to see you next time soon 💚🌱💚

[@ThoseHappyDays]

They do! Thank you

[@jeanwood9661]

Great blog..hope you are enjoying your travels, we have some wonderful places to visit..if only we could depend on the weather.

Great video guys love your van and some beautiful views. Looking forward to catching up on your videos new subscriber 😊👍

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thanks for joining us 👍

[@OBWanKenobi]

I did the whole Cornish and Devon coast 20years ago in a transit van with a bed in the back with my then GF. Loved it, have lived in Cornwall twice and Devon once. I now live on the Fylde coast

[@frankienadin4085]

Thank you guys loved watching this . Been in this situation a few times narrow roads and nowhere to park ! but perseverance pays off. X

[@adambaker4154]

Fantastic video with great drone footage thank you 👍

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Pleasure mate 👍

[@jacquieblacquiere5186]

Omg. On my first trip to the UK (I'm from South Africa) we did a road trip - and the Seaton Tramway was part of our experience. That was back in 1996. Wonderful memories watching you on the tram!!

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Amazing! We love it

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Hi guys, great video yet again. Glad you got your water system sorted. You visited some lovely open spaces. Thanks for sharing. All the best wishes.

[@madeleinejoynson9704]

Just loving your videos .Can't wait to see Cornwall ❤️

[@whimsy339]

I have to admit I am quite envious. The beach is my happy place but due to my disability I can no longer just pick up and go. We have some beautiful coastline here in the Pacific Northwest in the USA. Thanks for your videos showing how beautiful the coastline is in the UK.

[@barrymcevoy-spiritualsense6593]

Hi Jenine and Liam, another great instalment of van life. Thanks for cheering up a dull Sunday afternoon for me and my wife! Roll on next episode.... On Wednesday I hope!! Safe travels life is a beach as they say 😊

[@mikepowell9326]

Well done guys you made the right decision to go to Devon and Cornwall sadly some of roads are very narrow happy travels

[@pdtech4524]

Nice one! I remember those very narrow, hedge lined, single track lanes that criss cross Devon and Cornwall. No turning points, no wider passing areas, a real struggle in a small family car, nevermind a huge camper van. Rather you than me!! 😲🤔⚠️😳😁

[@TheKellcasstar]

Hi, when you get to Cornwall try to visit polperro and Looe, both amazing places to visit. Looe is a small town that you can drive through carefully but it's best to use the large carparks available, Polperro is a beautiful village, my favourite place, no vehicles except for deliveries and residents, but there is a large carpark before the village, stay safe and enjoy, p.s. love your videos xx

[@nikkibeale3084]

Great video as usual. It's lovely to see places I'm so familiar with this week. We have family in Devon and Cornwall so spend a lot of time there. Totally sympathised with the van width issue as we often take our mini bus around those lanes. It's when the sat nav takes you down a lane with grass growing in the middle of the road you know you're in real trouble. Luckily all the locals are expert reversers as they have to do it so often.

[@stevenkenny3454]

Yet again another fantastic video guys Thank you very much Take care and stay safe

[@christinelindup7209]

That the trouble down here in Devon the Satnav takes you on these narrow lanes because it’s the fastest route . So we never take the fastest route. Great filming enjoy your time in Devon and Cornwall 😊

[@carjam49]

You must have nerves of steel driving down those narrow roads, but the payoff was great. Your last parking spot was gorgeous. What I love about your van/truck is that it's so spacious, but I guess that's a problem as well. Great video as usual.

[@dave72ization]

Beautiful video guys....is great to see a couple who love each other....make each day count ❤️👊👍

[@jayne1905]

Beautiful Cornwall !! My parents lived there happy memories !! Yes the roads can be scary, very narrow if you are towing or in a camper van !! They look like grassy banks beneath the grass is a wall !!! Take care they would open the side of you van like a can opener 😪 beautiful beaches there, thanks for your vlog guys 🙂 be careful x

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you 👍

[@sarahstrong7174]

Next time you are near Totnes make sure you go to Dartington Hall & see the gardens there. There's food there too & arts events & courses & camping & glamping. The bus goes up there so your van will be fine. As you parked near the steamer quay you could have gone on the boat to Dartmouth too. You can get back to Paignton on a steam train & then get back to Totnes by bus.

[@judywarner539]

Absolutely gorgeous video. Devon coast looks stunning. I love following your fabulous journey around the coast. I was hiking on the Northumberland coast on Saturday & thought of you both when you were up there a few weeks ago. Safe travels to you both x

You certainly make me want to visit all of these wonderful places especially with the vegan food available😋😋. Great to see you all your positivity Liam and Janine with all the obsticals that come your way, and how you just carry on perservering💪🏽💪🏽and make it through. Looking forward to Wednesday.

Wonderful vlog again. Lots of challenges but you made it work to reach to tech the beaches. Loved the tram ride. Beautiful area 🎉🌊🌊🌊🌊💗💙🐚☀️

[@meldefreitas2622]

Wonderful vid! You’re the best ad for the South West ever. Brighten our Sunday. Amazing photography and editing make it all so involving. I imagine Janine does most of it. Lovely stuff I wait the next one. Condolences to Liam though.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you! Yes janine is the full time editor (and it's very full time), but both of us do photography and production

[@chriscarter6706]

Also give fowey a swerve as van too big. Charlestown is amazing. So is mevagissey and has a good car park on left as you drive in. No height restrictions. Don't drive further, walk to harbour. You'll love it. St just is lovely. Falmouth a nice town by sea too.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you 👍

[@clarehudson4087]

Like the recipe Liam . We stayed in Exmouth on the front , just be warned you could be woken up at silly o'clock by Exter Chiefs or Exeter Uni rugby training on the beach , their coach/s sure can shout :-) :-)

Haha do they?

[@theexplorerarchie932]

[@helloguineapigs]

single track roads...arggh...so stressful. We've had similar experiences in Devon and Suffolk, and it was bad enough in a car! we looked for a setting on various sat navs to avoid single track roads, but no joy. Another great video guys

[@lindagent9831]

Hi guys we’re going to Devon tomorrow picking up a new caravan near Glastonbury. We have booked a week in Seaton. Can’t wait. Love Devon and Dorset. We’re avoiding the kids holidays also. Have fun. Peace 🧚🏻‍♀️
