The Trip That Beat Us Ep4-Snow sets in

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I will be moving trip video releases to Monday nights so the next episode will be Monday 2nd May. 👍

Thank Ken and Carol for sharing this lovely video of the rain and snow..so beautiful and peaceful...living in the desert of Arizona one misses rain...just extremely windy and warm here..already the forest fire season has begun, so many homes destroyed and land lost...We would appreciate you sending rain this way...Take care from Arizona 🌵😉

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for watching Elisabeth. Sorry to hear about the devastating fires you have had. We will try and send some rain your way 🤞🙂☔️

Hi Ken 👍 Carol 😘 Pub sounds good in the awful weather, nice and cozy ehh. I Must admit after my Hebrides tour I’m thinking about biting the bullet and investing in some AT tires though very expensive Arghh ! I will have to sell my soul 🤪 they do have a longer life than normal road tires 👍 and safety is key, plus no more Drama’s getting “Christine” in a pickle on mountain roads 🚐🤪 LOL Travel Safe both hugs 🚐👍🐾👊🐕‍🦺

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Couldn't agree more, the right tires are not a luxury but a necessity, especially when it's your home. The other danger of course is people running into you. Looking forward to your next trip and seeing where you end up. I will send you a DM on instagram soon. 👍

[@CamperVanya]

I had a permanent smile watching this beautiful video of Clitheroe (my hometown) and surrounding area. You passed St Paul's Church I attended as a child and the estate there is where I grew up. Such a shame about the stormy winds & rain but the snow always adds a little charm. It was a relief to see you turn around in the snow because you were heading up to Waddington Fell where you could've become stuck. Finishing off in the White Lion pub too - I used to work there many moons ago. Sorry for the long comment I just obviously really connected with this video. Loved it. Hope you return in the future in better weather ❤

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We hoped you would enjoy what we could show of Clitheroe. What a coincidence you used to work in the White Lion! Glad we could bring back some happy memories for you, Sue 😀👍❤️

I don’t know how much you enjoyed this trip with storms queueing up to blast us but I enjoyed the film, from the comfort of my own home here ❤️. I will be interested to see which tyres you go for Ken. I replaced my winterised set on my nv200 for stiff walled van tyres (it’s a work van only) and they are like ice skates on wet roads and would not have managed in the snow you had. Cheers Douglas and Caroline.

Ha thanks Douglas. The pub was a great shelter from the snow. At this point we were still enjoying the trip but it was early days! Will certainly have to look into getting some all weather tyres. Best wishes to you and Caroline 🙂

Nice, you did see a bit of beacon fell. I thought they'd stopped people camping up there years ago when I was a boy racer. That one way circuit was a great track at night but they stopped it ✋ lol

How exciting, and you made a well-informed decision to turn around.

Beautiful coverage. Excellent film and audio quality too. That's the perfect van for those roads over there. I can't imagine anything much larger being very safe. It's nice to see the two of you both comfortable with the circumstances of close quarters, and the weather conditions that don't overirde your spirit to continue on.

Thank you for another wonderful trip through the English countryside. My least favorite snowfall is the first of the season when everybody "has forgotten how to drive in the snow" then it's fender-bender city. I have found that all-season tires work best for me.

[@Sushi2735]

Perfect example why I think a van that is just a bit bigger would be of more comfort to you on these cold rainy days. Something that is cozy and snug where curling up with a book sounds good. I have spent enough off season days in the UK, when I was young and poor and the damp chill goes straight to the bones. But by going off season I could stay three weeks, instead of 10 days! Now that I’m older, yikes……….I’m cold all the time 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Yes, looking forward to being able to lounge comfortably in a bigger van, especially on those cold, wet days 😁

The weather realyy had it in for you on this trip! Lovely old villages and towns Carol & Ken. But you were right to do what you decided to do. I remember Nelson and Blackburn from a tour I done with a Band in 1967. I left my wallet in my hotel room in Nelson, didn't discover it untill we were on the M1 at a services and went to pay for my meal. Had to get a loan from one of the other guys on the band. I got home about 2 weeks after and recieved a REG letter with my wallet in it, and not even the price of the postage taken from it.

Very cold and blowy. Cafe looked nice and cosy and worth waiting for. Had to almost limbo under that height barrier in your NV200! It was very wet. Not much fun working in that market. Snow did look nice but wise to go to a busier place lower down. Could do worse than being stuck in a pub. 😊🧙‍♂️

Well you definitely had it worse than us so whilst we had high winds we didn’t have the constant bad weather you had - as you say a bit grim. One question for future q&a any tips on wet clothes and what you do to minimise etc or is it simply get them in the van and hang them up. Clitheroe looked a real nice place to visit ….. Really enjoyed the pace and journey and can’t wait for the next one Thanks for the shout out

There are two things in life that you should never cheap out on and that is your boots and your mattress because when your not in one you are in the other, mountain warehouse is no place to be buying waterproof boots and I’m not surprised the current ones you have are letting in water if purchased from this Chinese outlet.

I will check out those boots. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂👍

[@LifeinLancashire]

That weather that you experienced in Lancashire was nothing really compared to what we can get. We get used to it and carry on regardless. I've driven up and down the roads that go via Pendle Hill many a time with at least a foot of snow. When it freezes is when there can be a problem. Yes, the correct tyres do make a difference. I moved over the hill to Clitheroe in the 70s when I got married, but now live back over the hill. By the way, the petrol station at the end of Chatburn road that you filled up at, has been the most expensive petrol station in the area for donkeys years. I saw a relative of mine in your video, so I'll have to tell her that she's now famous 🤣🤣. There was an outdoor shop right by the market (Ken Varey) which could have fit you up with some decent boots.

@@LifeistooshortCK The sculpture trail at Barley is a nice easy walk and if you're feeling energetic and plan to walk up Pendle, the 'steps' route up the hill at the big end is really tough on the legs. Easier to go up the little end, walk along the top and come back down via the steps. George Fox had his vision on Pendle Hill way back in the 17th century. Talk to the staff in the shop at Pendle Heritage centre in Barrowford, they will give you all the info on the area. If you're in the area on a day where there is some wind, the 'Singing Ringing Tree' panopticon at the top of Burnley, will provide you with some very eerie sounds. A few years later another one was built in the USA. Wycoller village is worth a visit and has a nice tea room......it is residents only parking in the village, but there are car parks on the outskirts.

@@LifeinLancashire Wow, thanks for all the information. I have marked places on my map for future reference. The Singing Ringing Tree looks amazing 😃

@@LifeistooshortCK You're welcome 🙂. If you know anyone with kids that are interested in witches ......on September 17th, they are hoping to get the Guinness World Record back to Lancashire from Spain (record initially set by Lancashire in 2012 during the 400 year anniversary) for the largest gathering of witches 🧙‍♀️......see 'Pendleside Witchfest' for details

How long ago was this? I was In Clitheroe when it last snowed, I went to visit the castle and it was beautiful in the snow. I just fell lucky. I got an amazing photo of the WW1 soldier in front of the castle with the snow falling. Wonderful.

I love your videos but what do you do for a toilet. Thanks.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

The BEST TOILET BY FAR for a small camper van 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGK7lJJsgKprqNE

If you two would like to do some winter camping then I might invite you over for a couple of weeks in February. It isn’t too bad in Southern Ontario but we could always head north if you would like. Hahahahaha Cheers

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Haha. Thanks Frank. I think we had our fill of winter camping on this trip 😂👍
