"Divorce in a bag!" 🤣 Van-tastic... Disclaimer, I'm stealing that line for my inflatable air awning video, when I start filming the episode! Don't worry, I'll give you a shout out as payment 😉 On another note, I'm working my way through your content and enjoying every minute watched! Speak soon ☺️

[@michaelhodges2448]

Nice to see you enjoying your self thanks for sharing

[@vanlifegoodies]

So glad your meet went well . Very scary thing to do !! A good turn out and looks like you had fun , dispute the weather . Laughed at the “ I’ll cut out the swearing “ for the seat covers !! I took mine back and payed the guy to fit them - bloody impossible !!!

[@markcarter1118]

Hi Colin. Saw your van parked up at Camper Mart in Telford today. Hope you had a good time.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Had a great time buddy thank you! Felt like a celeb 🤣🤣

[@peakyparttimers9362]

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

[@timbird5494]

What a fantastic way of life top channel guys 👌👌👍

[@ianmonk4871]

Great to meet up and it not just be VW’s. You get chance to look at what other people have. Met many new people, the number of dogs helped Monty socialise and he seemed to enjoy himself. We had a great time, look forward to doing it again. Thanks for arranging it Colin

[@gillnicholls9665]

Just wonderful camping people are happy people.xxx

[@paulbell7275]

Great video again. Was really nice meeting everyone, very friendly atmosphere. Will keep an eye out for future meets.

You can’t beat van life !

[@michaelmcneil2020]

Great video and such a cracking weekend! We are quite a shy and anxious couple so just booking the tickets was quite a big thing for us, but you guys were amazing and we were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Thank you all so much! We really look forward to meeting you again at future meets as our confidence grows. 😊 Take care.

[@caspervanlife8466]

Looked awesome 👍 will keep my eye out for the next one and get my passport ready to come over the Lancashire border 😁

[@nealrobinson6709]

Great video guys and so pleased for you guys that lots of people turned up.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Me too, I was half expecting to be sat in a field all by myself 🤣🤣

[@adiehull]

Looked an amazing event 👏🏼

[@irenedale5256]

Thank you sooooo much for bringing this video - I soooooo wish I could have been there. It looks like it was a great meet. 💕🐾

A Great weekend! Made me hungry watching this episode! See you guys on the next one!!! 😁

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

It was great to have you there bud! Thanks for the drone footage too ;)

[@michaelteale6386]

Sorry we missed it Colin .Looks like you all had a great time.

[@davidbloomfield1871]

Hopefully be on your next one mate but really glad you had so many people turn up, well deserved 👏 🤙🤙

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Cheers David, looking forward to seeing you at the next one :)

[@DS-cf1zc]

I took one initial thing from this video - you now do B-Roll of you stacking 8 tins of Stella since one or two of us pointed out you carried less. 🤣And then you suggested Rotherham was exotic... at that point I checked my pulse, looked at my location, to ensure I was still on the same planet.. 😂 Must admit - you would have reached legendary status if the initial arrival shots had you parking in a field alone... I would have PMSL..

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha I did toy with the idea of doing b roll of loading in 40 cans one by one for laughs 🤣🤣🤣

[@DS-cf1zc]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Now I would have really laughed had you done that. 🤣🤣🤣

[@phillellis6972]

Top weekend, looking forward to catching up soon.. Team Ellis.

[@phillellis6972]

Thanks for not shaming the upside down pop top cover.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hahaha I couldn't do it to you 🤣🤣! If you do it again though, I'll definitely make a point of mentioning it.... Thanks for coming

[@PhilThedog]

Excellent Col ;-)

Another inspiring video Colin. Love it; I always look forward to your new videos.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ah thank you, that's super kind! Thanks for watching!

Looks great i hope to attend one in the future

[@davidhatt8795]

Looks like all had fun great stuff everyone 👍🤟

[@janepoole9729]

Sooooo envious. What a great weekend. Cant wait for news of the next meet, I would love to be there. Are you still supplying your stickers? Not on FB at the moment so apologies if I’m missing something.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Yo, I'll advertise it on here and Facebook and Instagram so you should know when the next one is :) lots of folk aren't on Facebook so thought it would be good to do other platforms too :)

[@dannybroadbent1631]

Colin I’m on coniston hall tonight and a few dubbed out vans ere👍🏻👍🏻

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ah ace... have a cracking time bud!

[@sionlewis1258]

Seat covers look great!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Cheers, im really pleased with them :)

[@tradersato]

Who makes those side door tents I see on other camper vans? As someone in the US and admiring from afar, I’d love to have one for my van. And, no, unfortunately we don’t get t6s or ANY VW vans in “America” as you guys call it. I’ve been telling my wife (born in Hakney) that we should move to the UK so I can have a go at owning a VW camper van!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

All I can say is "do it" 🤣🤣! Or import one? The canopy is by a company called Wild Earth, great idea!

[@teresawright9067]

Just watched first thing what's, wrong with Rotherham I live near NY and, was, going to come but can not sleep, in, van, at min. Think this, was, great can not wait for your next one and when ar you going todo hoodies with Yorkshire poptop, on.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha nothing wrong with Rotherham, half my family live that way! It's just not exactly an exotic location is it 🤣🤣! Next one is looking like spring (so the weather is nicer) but I'll definitely let everyone know on here, FB and Insta when the next one is! Not sure about hoodies yet, had a meeting with a supplier a few weeks ago but still some pricing/delivery ideas to iron out! Watch this space and see you at the next meet :)

[@tazarcher3880]

Not on Facebook anymore would be nice if possible to have a pre meet up announcement on here.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I'll definitely announce the next one on KZbin mate! :)

[@tazarcher3880]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures cheers brother 👍🏻 my van is in the very early stages of conversion. I have loads to do and the garage is full of parts but also re decorating the house so I may be on a mattress in the back 😅

[@danqrl]

See you at Camper mart tomorrow

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

My wallet is already vibrating in anticipation 🤣🤣

[@kinross24]

Great meet up! Quick question:- Where’s a good place in Scotland or else to buy a starter camper, vw or else? Obviously there’s eBay but is there good used distributors you guys or followers can recommend? Keep up the van vids and photography vids! G

[@tazarcher3880]

Good place in Scotland (Highlands) is a place called Dornoch just off the A9, really nice village and beach. If you don't fancy going that far up there's a place called Peebles which is lovely, just south of Edinburgh off the A72. Honest advice regarding campers if you don't mind getting stuck in yourself buy a 3 year old panel van and convert yourself. If your not comfortable on some bits just get a converter to do them bits. You can save a small fortune!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya Glen, I'm not sure but think Taz has a great suggestion !

[@barefootwhistle]

Hi love the videos just wondered how u keep urself warm in the van do u have do they come with a night heater or is it a case of blankets and loaded of jumpers many thanks

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya, I have a diesel heater that keeps us warm, although blankets do come in useful sometimes! :)

[@baloobear7838]

Would love to have been there but I don't do Facebook. Is for YT subscribers or Facebook friends?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I will post an update on KZbin next time I think as there are a few that don't have Facebook! :)

[@danqrl]

What folding table is it that you use for outside your van? If you can remember. I'm after one and buying the things you use/recommend has gone well so far

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya, it's a table from Go Outdoors, we bought it about 8 years ago, but here is the exact same table branded "Regatta" www.regatta.com/cena-lightweight-bi-folding-table-lead-grey/?sv_tax1=google&sv_tax2=shopping&sv_tax3=Smart+Shopping+-+Camping&sv_tax4=RCE039_7MZ&sv_campaign_id=1874585494&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtrSLBhCLARIsACh6Rmg4iLfJsAVbGIeW4bhgz5EwcGjXIcSZEUtN84FBaLYt-F13yo8jDgcaAiwhEALw_wcB

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures much appreciated buddy, I saw you at Camper mart in the line for the parking and was gonna shout to you but bottled it just in case it wasn't you lol. You and the dubbed out community have been a massive help to us as we learn the van life for the first time

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

So people who don't use Facebook will never find out!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Fear not buddy, I'll announce it on here too as quite a few subscribers are not on Facebook ;)

[@dave56t44]

That’s ok if you’re on Facebook

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

There have been a few comments saying that so I'll pop it on KZbin too when the next one is organised :)

[@dave56t44]

In your own words “NICE” 👍🏻

[@jayhillier5135]

Can I ask where you got your fire pit from 😊

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey Jay, it was donated to me by a friend. I believe they appear on FB Marketplace sometimes, worth a check. :)

[@jayhillier5135]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thanks a lot I'll check it out. I'm thinking of getting one of those Wild Earth Canopies. Are there any good for keeping the rain out?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

@@jayhillier5135 yep they are brilliant and if set up properly are pretty good in the wind too! Check out how I set it up in my camper jam video as that helps rain run off it ;)

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thanks a lot for your help. I just saw another one your videos where you've covered your Porta Potti with a cover to turn it into a seat? Such a great idea. Where did you find that cover?

Hiya Gill, it was donated by a friend of mine, but I have seen them on ebay and Facebook market place, it's just a converted washing machine drum :)
