THIS WAS TOUGH..SCARED and SURPRISED! (Van Life UK - Wales)
Check out Zip World here, (lot's of cool activities all over Wales, we will deffo be doing more!)
www.zipworld.c...
This week we are still experiencing van life in Wales, in Snowdonia national park. Emily has a scare and we are genuinely shocked by what we find.
We try to balance this week with some adventure at zip world in Penrhyn, the worlds fastest zip line over a quarry, visit Betws y Coed and then finally chill with a camp fire, where Lou actually does some outdoor cooking, at probably one of the best camp sites in the UK (if you like back to basics camping that is)
Having explored only a small part of Wales before and a considerable chunk of the UK, join us to see what we make of North Wales in this weeks welsh van life adventure!
Hopefully you are enjoying this UI travel series as much as we are and we are managing to show you just some of the stunning landscapes that Wales has to offer in this Welsh travel vlog.
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, some cinematic scenery mixed with our usual female van life foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!
Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempt to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home.

Since I'm avoiding milk, egg and flour, I can't have these. But I sent an email, so hoping they will think outside the box, and cock up some more recipes. 😊

I’ve tried the Y foods. Very nice Louise. Cheers!

You two make the BEST videos! We look forward to them every week! Yes Emily was so brave.... i told my grown up kids ages ago that i am going to do that zip line on my 70th birthday! They don't believe me but i am! I love North Wales, we live not too far away and visit there as often as we can, that camp site looked amazing by the way, will definitely have to go there. Hope camp quirky went well, would have gone if i'd had time :-)

[@campervibe]

Definitely do it, I think the week before there was an 84 year old that done it as well 😀🥳

Bravo Emily!!!! And by the way, I have noticed how much effort you guys have put into your videos. They have been getting better and better - the quality of the different shots and things. You've really been upping your game and I'm sure it's a lot of hard work, but it is much appreciated!

[@campervibe]

Thank you, we really do enjoy it and Lou is very creative but I am her biggest fan

Thanks you and it’s been great

[@rachelinnes2187]

LOUISE!!! Fancy making Emily do it on her own!!

[@bobthedog3780]

Total respect to Emily for confronting her fears. As a 6'4" heavyweight man I have learnt over the years that true courage often comes in small packages. The drone footage at the start of stonehenge in the mist was outstanding. One of those 'you had to be there' moments. Impressed by the juggling Lou but stick to the photography, much more impressive. I say that it is very difficult in the UK to travel 20 miles and NOT find natural or man made beauty. Other places have some fantastic locations but they are so far apart.

[@campervibe]

Thank you, I am glad I did it in the end and yeah she needs to stick to her day job 😂

Emily the eagle ! You two make the most natural videos on KZbin. Thanks.

[@strawberryroad1347]

The best thing about that zip line, is that it was long enough for her to be able to actually start to slightly enjoy it. 😉 When you face your fears, so many opportunities opens up.. Suddenly there's this whole new world to discover. 😀

[@campervibe]

I did end up enjoying it as well 😀

[@strawberryroad1347]

@@campervibe Glad to hear, because it is really fun.. 😄

[@jogrant3851]

Wales is so stunning, where my heart longs to be. As I was watching the beautiful landscape where Louise went walking from the camping ground, I thought how much it looks like a place here in southern Tasmania. But the most incredible thing is that the place here is called Fairy Glen. When Louise mentioned Fairy Glen as a nearby place to visit, it really was one of those moments. The Zip Line was speccy and admire Emily for her courage. I too am afraid of heights but I would still do the Zip Line. What an opportunity to fly. So enjoyed this video. Really packed with amazing. Thank you so much. Be safe always.

[@campervibe]

It was great to do actually and I’m so glad I did it as well

[@poppyk6182]

Well Done Emily 🤩 🥇

[@moneyprofessional]

Wow Action Emily. So impressed. Didn't think you'd go through with it as I remember you not even going on that bridge in France. Proper bravery doing something that you are genuinely scared of. But I think we know by now how determined and effective you can be so you wouldn't and didn't let us down. This was another great video but definitely an Emily tribute week, got to be the first two minute tour under 2 minutes ever, even if it did nearly kill you! Enjoy Camp Quirky.

[@campervibe]

I think I felt safer as it was not in my hands 😂 I’m a tripper so walking over the bridge was horrendous 🤣

[@meganh662]

Well done Em!!!! Smashed it. Go girl

[@williamarnold1304]

Emily is far braver than I am. Because of my being so stupid about my health, I'll never be able to do the things the two you do. A nice travel blog of your travels and the humor is why I keep watching. Stay safe. 👍👍

Hey Sharon, thanks and welcome along 😀😀

[@SiCrewe]

True story:- A long, long time ago I was at Penrhyn quarry doing one of those "team building" things for a week and when I had a go on the zip-line (more commonly known as a "death slide" back then) the bottom end of the rope snapped and I fell into the water. 19 year-old me thought it was hilarious but, with the benefit of hindsight, it could have ended very, very, badly if it'd happened when I was over solid ground.

[@jogrant3851]

Gulp.

[@campervibe]

That is horrendous

[@alanhat5252]

Thankfully rides are inspected nowadays, by experts who take their jobs seriously. Rollercoasters don't collapse or catch fire, chair-o-planes don't go flying into the crowd, swingboats don't topple over...

Ever ready Emily!!! 👏🏆🥇Woo Hoo, you smashed it 😊 What a beautiful area, can't say I fault you for having a little chill time. I'm the same when it comes to fires...I can't stand smelling of smoke and sitting wearing a bin bag and shower cap kinda spoils the aesthetic, lol 😂

I salute you Emily, when you are scared and still do it that's bravery...well done. I've been to North wales a lot as my cousin has a cabin up there - I've been to the Lake District as much because it is my sort of country and I think the Lake District is somewhere I would recommend. I am extremely adventurous and have done a lot of climbing in these areas. The jungle gym is something I would try if it were somewhere else, but to spoil such as beautiful place with rusting metal and something so unnatural is a shame. I love your dog, he's a beauty.

The past few vids have really taken me back to a couple trips I took with my mum back in the late 90s and early 2000. She was born and raised in Erdington and hadn't been back since she was 14 (came to US after the war). We went to Cornwall and Wales where she vacationed as a child. Seeing it again is bittersweet as she's gone now but wonderful memories. I'd love to visit it again especially seeing spots we didn't get to see. BTW, I called it Betsy Coed because I couldn't pronounce it either lol.
