Hi Colin, we use the hard plastic box the gas stove sits in standing upright and it keeps the wind out 🙌 your welcome 😊

[@user-ov8fs1rc3n]

I have watched everyone of your videos and you keep on making me like you. I go to the Lakes many times a year and this time one of my regular haunts, The Queens Head, and mention of one of my favourite beers too, Loweswater Gold!

[@wayneherbert8907]

Another great video Colin. Great to see you never removed the bit about your torch and phone. Sort of thing I forget, and then be to afraid to admit to!! 😅

[@adiehull]

You always stay at the loveliest sites 👍🏻

[@matthewbourne75]

Good to see somebody use a Kiravan’s swivel seat without whingeing how hard it is! Great video as always 😊

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha I have my moments, but it's totally user error... 😂😂

[@suewheeler5795]

Get yourself a flexitail pump. A brilliant piece of kit

[@gillnicholls9665]

Sure you would love the tour de france.xx

[@davetomlins4992]

Great vlog as always Colin, I’ve binged all your vlogs and it’s been a great help to me as a novice campervan owner. Out of all the many camper vlogs out there, your channel is my go to channel, you are a natural presenter and I could even see you on a tv show! I look forward to your upcoming productions , keep it coming mate 🤘

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

I tried one of those thin mattresses but it was useless for me. I e just bought an Outdoor Revolution Camo Star King one....made for our vans. 100cms thick and 112cms wide, same as our beds. It's damn nice.

[@chriswyatt1354]

Great vlog Colin. I use the case of the gas stove opened and put on its end around the stove, to stop the wind blowing the flames out 👍🏻🍻

[@sandracampbell4012]

Can't beat the Lakes, we're lucky to have it so close. So so many fab sites to chose from. Love watching your reviews and the outtakes lol! 😂😂😂

[@stevetee7801]

Yay! Another new video! Just bought a panel van and waiting on delivery! So excited!!

[@LeisureBit]

Great site again - the Lakes is lovely and you’re right it’s all ups and downs with very little flat! Have a great bank holiday weekend - all the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@susangreenwell1431]

Love your videos, the campsite tour and joining you on your bike ride the scenery was amazing, and agree about the hot water bottle can’t beat it 👋👋

[@daveknibbs4046]

Great video Colin, I hope you have patent pending on ‘Colin’s Bombay beer buffer’ design every campers must have for their fridge! Made me chuckle you going back to your van twice, it’s something I’d do 😂 All the best 👍👍

[@derbyjohn972]

Wow Colin epic one again and brutal ride 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mccoysmedia]

We all had a good laugh this week Col, great episode 👍🏻

[@dannyhampshire9077]

Mate try chili with mashed potato topping shepherds pie type of thing wonderful

[@peakyparttimers9362]

Hope you're well Colin hope to see you on another vw show this year. Our first one is next week at Vanwest at Taunton racecourse in Somerset. 😊👍

[@ptrpsnr]

Thanks for your video. We often cook outside when on EHU and use a cheap IKEA induction hob - no probs with wind!

[@michaelburns9199]

Great vlog Colin Paul and yourself are hardcore. I stayed on that site donkeys years ago camping and took the mountain bike to Grizedale we lasted a hour went to the pub instead good old days.Give it a go again pal.

[@antonyhodgson6105]

Another great looking campsite in a brilliant spot. You certainly earned the beers after your epic cycle ride 👍

Hi Colin, a new subscriber as I take ownership of my dream on Wednesday. Great video and as a cyclist and photographer really enjoyed your video, I done the Fred Whitton Challenge a few years ago , that's a beast of a sportive. 🙂👍

[@kevinrowe456]

Another great video Colin, ride looked a bit lumpy! Looking forward to the next one. Atb 🚴‍♂️😎

[@dpnewdimensions]

I bought a diswoe camp stove windshield, flexible aluminium panels for my stove and it works a treat. Love your bike 🙂

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks Diane, I'll have a look at that one

[@shanaburchett3639]

Love your videos Colin!

Vans looking snazzy.xx

[@sdubvan]

Hi Colin great meeting you last week just to let you know they laid a new path to the village after you left, apparently there was a chap who kept forgetting things that much he wore the path out. Cheers Chris.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hahahaha had to buy new trainers too 😂😂 nice meeting you too buddy!

[@julianthwaites9653]

Fantastic video again , love the lakes. Stay safe

Looks like a great trip! We will have to get back out for a ride some time?

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

Errr… who is Craig @ 11:41 & 12:13 Does Michelle know about Craig 😂😂😂 Great vid as always.

[@davezeraschi7936]

Have you tried the drill in pegs? If you forget the drill you can bang them in anyway 😊

[@mikerogers8702]

Really should pay more attention to comments just noticed your reply to Irene 😬

[@mikerogers8702]

Another great video lovely site and yes what happened to the surfboard table?🤔

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks Dawn... Just seen your other comment hahaha

[@floydtheweimaraner5308]

Great vlog Colin ! Defo deserved a few beers after that bike ride .what camping table do you have as we’re looking for one and the one your using looks exactly what we are after ? Tia …

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy thank you! The table we got aaagggees ago 🤣 from Go Outdoors, it is a high gear one about £30 ;)

[@floydtheweimaraner5308]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Thanks Colin 👍 just ordered , keep up the great work

[@marchingwithmike2234]

So Col. Are you a just below the line, on the line, or over filler of the Pot Noodle (other snacks also available) line?? The viewers want to know 😄😄

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha im 100% an over the line chap with my pot noodles 🤣🤣

[@grahamgrimescoulson4697]

Been to Hawkshead hall several times and love it there. watched a fair few of your videos now, and noticed your folding camping table, do you know what make it is?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, its just a high gear one from Go Outdoors mate, we bought it ages ago but I still think they do them for around £30 ish

[@christinamacintyre9972]

You changed the top of your swivel seat table

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Yeah, it matches the rest of the van now! I have plans for the other one though :)

[@rosskennedy4795]

Col, Why did you use a gas single cooker (flames blow out) and not your induction hob??? Also, Amazon do the push-button shower holders. Ok, £13 but a game-changer.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ages ago we bought LOADS of the gas canisters for those burners so it's kind of my Yorkshire man saying "use them they cost you money" 😂😂! I'll be using the induction hob too (mainly) once the burners run out of gas ;) Thanks for the message re: the shower push button thing, absolute legend!

[@rosskennedy4795]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures No probs matey. Those shower push buttons do my head in……top top…attach a cord and hang shower gel off. Makes you remember to remove it or some other bugger gets it!!!!

[@rosskennedy4795]

Top top lol …. Top tip!

[@davezeraschi7936]

Allowed bbqs not fire pit, oh ok I’ll make a fire in the bbq 🤫🤫🤣🤣

[@irenedale5256]

As always great video - but happened to the little surfboard table? 💕🐾

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks so much Irene.... I loved the surf board table but it didn't fit with the rest of the look of the van so I changed it... I still have it though and have another use for it in a future video ;) 😊

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hahaha that's brilliant! £8.50 for a Colin van clean is a bargain 😂😂😂

[@helentinkletoesadvsfromacb]

Any chance you could find out if sites are happy for people to camp in their cars? Met loads of people like us who do and it would be nice to find new places to go. My zafira is more comfortable than my bed at home

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I definitely can do... I know Bays Brown in the Lakes let's you, but this site is likely not to

[@helentinkletoesadvsfromacb]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures I am in some car camping groups and I just thought it would be really helpful for people and get you a few more subscribers maybe

Push button shower taps.......... tie a sock round it! Just saying

Great video, what's that awning you've got on the van?

Hey buddy, thank you... It's by wild earth, you can buy them from Amazon or direct from wild eart too

[@Dailydrivencamper]

Ey up! Please can you tell me where you got your outdoor mat from?

Now then! I got it from Camper Jam matey, from a stall there... The chap usually is at festivals or at Camper Mart too ;)
