Stuck in London: I Have To Get Back To My Van! | LONDON TO HERTFORDSHIRE BY FOOT

In this unique and adventurous vlog, join me as I embark on a 21-mile journey, not by van, but on foot! I've taken up the challenge of driving my friend's car to a mechanic in East London since they were too scared to make the trip themselves. The twist? I'll be running all the way back to Hertfordshire to get back to my van!
As I make my way back home, I'll be passing through old areas I used to live in, sparking memories and nostalgia. It's a journey down memory lane, both figuratively and literally. Join me on this incredible adventure as I share my thoughts, stories, and the beautiful scenery along the way.

you are a youtube secret. wonderful filming, storytelling and all around marvellous bloke. I hope you enjoy making these videos, because I thoroughly enjoy watching them (and so it would only be fair. ) cheers to you!

[@Nomadickangoo]

What an amazing comment, thank you! I love making these videos, such a great hobby to have and extra bonus other people enjoy watching them as well!

[@judywarner539]

I love your videos. There’s just not enough of them. Amazes me how you video yourself as you’re going along, you must have added miles to your journey by setting up the camera or drone & running back for it 😮 I don’t underestimate the amount of work that goes into these videos. Well done, it’s lovely to see you again NK 😊

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thank you Judy!! Yes there is ALOT that goes into these videos but I just love making them and being able to be creative with them so they are a pleasure to produce 😁

[@paulainsworth9811]

Been waiting for this for ages. Oddly calming, production is brilliant. Don't watch many vlogs but out of the ones i do watch yours is top of the list in just about every category. Cheers mate, keep em coming.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Wow mate that's a compliment and a half! I love that everyone who's watching enjoys watching these videos ✌️

[@steve61098]

Great video, very well done and entertaining….👍

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it ✌️

[@aaronjames0587]

great vid man I live in markyate a village on the outskirts of st.Albans we are very lucky to have so much beautiful countryside all around us.

[@Nomadickangoo]

We are most definitely blessed!

[@ang-ela]

Brilliant video! There's no way I could have run all that way....😂

[@Nomadickangoo]

I'm sure you could give it a good go! 😄

[@CamperVan-K]

And to think... you could add at least a third more to your mileage with all that running back and forth for the camera shots! No wonder you were bushed. Ps chuckled at the texts!

[@MileBoots]

Nice video. Good to see somebody producing something different.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thanks mate, I always like to mix it up! 💪

[@markwhalebone751]

I was brought up in bang in the middle of London, as a kid I thought Greenwich park and Blackheath was the countryside till I was older and found Kent. I married a Chingford girl and moved there just a few hundred yards from the forest. We moved to Hertfordshire later but I could not imagine living in a city again.

[@Nomadickangoo]

What coincidences! I'm not sure I could do the city much longer I'm looking to move far out

[@markwhalebone751]

I have no chance of getting further out as three grown up kids and a wife are all happy here. I get my adventure these days with the odd car camp and regular visits to Purbeck and Wales and they are so good in winter too without so many people about. Where would be your ideal place to live? @@Nomadickangoo

[@scottandcoke1342]

What a great video. Positive and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see you back buddy. A refreshing, different vid gets the thumbs up from me. 👍🏻👌🏻🤙🏻

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thanks man, thought I would try something different ✌️

[@campervangaz]

Another brilliant video Alex. I've always admired your work. Very inspirational. Had to laugh at you smelling your socks 3 or 4 times 😂 Lucky to find your camera in the grass..!! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing the next one. Cheers

[@Nomadickangoo]

Hey Gaz! Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I know, if I lost that camera I would not have been a happy bunny!

[@dubdaz1]

The ending Lol😂

[@Nomadickangoo]

[@pippajennings5856]

So glad you're back doing vids. We'll done on that marathon! Sad the mini was unfixable. How are you feeling about winter in the new van? Can't wait for more vids.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thank you! It was very enjoyable to do! I'm feeling good about it, I think I've made it nice and cosy to survive the winter 🥶

[@adventureswithelz]

Nice video pal, glad your keeping well 👍

[@Nomadickangoo]

[@TheCoopsvids]

Some bloody fun that mate …The Twins are buried at Chingford Mount Cemetery 👍🏻

[@Nomadickangoo]

Oh so they are? thats cool to know!

[@Lindab123]

You’re the best! ❤

[@Itsmetheworldsgreatest]

I know Chingford well , yeah the krays are buried in the mount

[@Nomadickangoo]

That's awesome to find out! It's a beautiful area

[@donnasutton6511]

Came across your year in the van then this video. Can't wait to see more, will catch up on previous ones in the meantime

[@Nomadickangoo]

Amazing! Hope you enjoy watching ✌️

[@adambolton9339]

👌🏼

[@delsmith7725]

Just came across your channel and watched a few episodes. I'll get through them all. Thoroughly enjoyed buddy. You're definitely a fighter and huge inspiration to many I'm sure. Survival is your story. Hugely likeable. Think most of us can relate to the grief you're overcoming. I can vouch for that but now I'm happier than ever. Wishing you lots of success and happiness.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Hey Del, it's comments like yours that make me want to keep going and making videos for people to enjoy, so thank you for that ✌️

[@delsmith7725]

@@Nomadickangoo No problem. You deserve to be recognised 🙂

[@mattiaslindstrom1137]

U r really the very best🤟👍

[@Nomadickangoo]

No! U R BEST!

[@CamperVan-K]

Wonderful filming. But err... 3x sniff of those smelly socks???!!! And that was a stroke of good luck finding the camera in the grass. Now try the same journey with an OS map... keep it up NK, you'll make a great film director some day soon.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thank you K for your lovely messages

[@ReneTobe86]

New follower here from The Netherlands. Allot of respect for your journey in the van m8 and figuring stuff out by yourself. Ps. Did you already find a good solution for the condensation? I would recommend a window in the roof like a Dometic Mini Heki.

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thanks dude! Respect to you from the UK ✌️ I had a little vent installed on the roof and I just crack a window to try sort it out, seems to work so far!

[@kowalskiT230]

Brill vid scary thing was when you were running and showing area signs and destination boards I knew where you were from my delivering days into London glad I dont drive a truck now I'll stay in my beaut area of Worcester,Warwickshire,Herefordshire.......now about the return run...✌❤☮

[@Nomadickangoo]

It is a blessing to get out of London for sure! Worcester is beautiful!! Hahaha it was a train journey the next day for sure 😂

[@ChillVanlife]

Mate what camera are you using??

[@Nomadickangoo]

I have 3 on the go, but the main one is a cannon M50 ✌️

[@ChillVanlife]

@@Nomadickangoo is that what you filmed in the car with??

[@Nomadickangoo]

@@ChillVanlife yah man, had it on a dashboard mount and at a 18mm camera length

[@ChillVanlife]

@@Nomadickangoo cheers dude, I have one and never use it lol. Dusting it off now. Do you use a lut? Colour in that first bit looked bang on mate. Well done, it was a cracking video

[@Nomadickangoo]

@@ChillVanlife I manually colour grade all my videos where and when I can, looking forward to seeing your camera work once you dust it off

[@alexwanderful]

Great video as always!

[@paulhollens1519]

Loved it NK thank you

[@Nomadickangoo]

No thank you for watching!

[@Watcheswhileeating]

Best one yet👍🏻 reminds me a little if the old Burt Lancaster movie ‘the swimmer’. Kudos running that far though, even at your age I don’t think I could do more than 10 miles (really 5) max !

[@Nomadickangoo]

Thanks mate! I'm sure you could, it's mind over matter

[@J.T401]

As I'm a new sub and working my way through your new chapter of life and as a former runner myself (as I stated, my reasons in your video that I came across the reasons why )I can remember the exilerence of the freedom and discovering myself even further but with amazing rewards, like yourself but you have absolutely nailed it, im so pleased that you can do all you love then into your new home and move on with confidence and allways thinking about others. Let me tell you something....OTHER VANLIFEERS CAN LEARN NEW THINGS FROM YOU👏🫶👌.....remember....keep on 🏃‍♂️ but equally work, rest and KEEP BLOODY ENJOYIMG YOURSELF👏👏👏THANKYOU FOR MAKEING ME SMILE😊😊😊.

[@Nomadickangoo]

That's so amazing to hear that you found me through this video! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I feel if I just keep doing what I enjoy, then maybe a few others may enjoy watching also! You made my morning with this comment! Thank you ❤
