Kielder FORREST CAMPING - DARK SKIES - VW T6 Camper Van

[@jasonbrowne7128]

Couldn’t agree more. Wife has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and prior to the van it was really difficult to book getaways, only to find we had to cancel at the last minute as she was not well. Now when she is having some good days we can get away at the last minute and enjoy our lovely country. Even though I got a brand new conversion, I love to tinker with it (made a insert for the pop top to stop the pillow falling down and to give me a little more room, adding decals and a simple elastic netting). We love it !

Just a small tip to light your fire use cotton puds with petroleum jelly on ,a lot easier and cheaper cheers Roy

Looks ace, loved the singing “Wimoweh Wimoweh” 🎵 🤣

[@alastairbanton959]

Loved this adventure Colin. Just got my first T6 Camper and you've given us so much inspiration! THANKS!!!

[@simoncorreia5686]

Fantastic channel, I would love to live in a camper full time.

[@michaelhodges2448]

Nice to see you enjoying your self thanks for sharing

[@hunter17hmr]

Colin! You looked like the Executioner off Robin Hood Prince of thieves, when you had that midge net on your head, not covering your mouth. 🤣🤣🤣 Great videos, keep it up 👍🏻

[@CamperVanya]

Can’t wait to visit Kielder and that site 👍

[@samcooper6115]

Love the blogs keep them coming.

[@evelynspanner2963]

Thanks for this suggestion. First one we’ve seen anywhere near us (Scottish Borders) where we could be in our van with our daughter next door in their tent. 👍

[@irenedale5256]

Great video/pictures again - not to mention the singing! Nice to see Michelle driving for a change and always love to see Branston. Lovely that Olivia is always with you too. 💕🐾

[@carlsadventures2361]

Northumberland what a beautiful place to go for a few days and what a beautiful campsite.

[@bobhead6243]

I spent many years Camping at Kielder Forest , many great memories ! , be Well to you all.

[@Dominic_Cassidy]

You should have called in for a cuppa as you past Peterlee! Great video!

[@Goodthings81]

Hooray first 🎉🎊🎉

[@shel8997]

Absolutely love your videos !! Your down to earth and funny ! As newbies to the campervan life we really get loads of info , tips and fun from your films! Thanks 😊

[@Retirement_Life]

Great video, Colin. I really like the addition of the stills and their details. Keep them coming…..

[@hulmedav]

I always do the transporter wave on a sunny trip end up with arm ache, great video thanks

[@when_we_wander]

That's such a great little site! We were not so lucky with the Migs when we went a few back. If you follow the path down the lake a little further, you can get down to the shore. And there is also a massive head sculpture in the woods that you can get into aswell! It's amazing.

[@PCSGROUPUK]

Absolutely brilliant 🤩 as always 👀Ing forward to the next one Paul 😎👍

[@michaelteale6386]

Lovely video Colin. We will have to visit that area.

[@ianmonk4871]

The addition of photo info is great. It compliments the normal content, at the same time helps with taking better photos. I’ve had a Nikon for years but never really had success,. Thank you

[@Ayresy_83]

I joined DOC on Facebook after watching your videos mate, I have the same van as you aswell, hopefully our paths cross at an event one day so I can say hi, keep the great content coming 👍🏻

[@frannyc38]

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

Good one mate, that looked fab. Now I know where to go for my Irn Bru. If you find a stream that does a nice malt be sure and let me know👍.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha, you will be the first to know (after I have taken my bit

[@stephenhead2977]

Love these videos great family thanks for sharing 👍

[@debradawson471]

Hope to visit here soon . Looks like a great place 👌

[@stevezodiac491]

In Bru is made in Scotland from girders although most of the locals drink Tennants Special Bru.

[@michaelcorcoran2781]

Hey ever thought of heading down to the Sussex downs?

[@caspervanlife8466]

Entertaining as always guys… my kids were babies last time I visited ‘Midgeland’ but me thinks it’s time revisit, but in my dub 👍

[@KennyTelfer]

Love the pics, love the site suggestions, keep them coming! Also, consider a folding fire pit from Amazon. I used mine at the weekend in Dunkeld and was blown away by how good it was and easy to assemble.

[@CampervanJon]

Love it, just ordered last week more or less same van, got slated for having black roof on white van because of attracting the heat however guess all ok with yours

[@jblackford56]

Hi chaps, really enjoying your channel, continued success! Could you tell me which campsite you where at in Keilder, struggling to find it! Regards Jon

[@jblackford56]

Heading up that way on the 21st Feb but really pushing it in a Lodge with the Family for Daughters Birthday. Will try and locate campsite on our trip as I am going up in my self converted Combo camper very soon, seems like a good place to try it out for a couple of nights….don’t live too far away 78 miles (ish) Cheers

[@marklouth2157]

I saw you up there Colin, you were just leaving Kielder Castle car park, your daughter caught me gawping at you. Fantastic area, if you go there again try the circular walk (magenta) through the woods up the hill and back over the viaduct. It felt like walking through lotr!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ah you should have come to say hello, I love meeting subscribers out and about ;) - Hope you had a great time

[@alicebradshaw2534]

Reay enjoyed this vlog, as usual! Have you made an addition to your van of those shelves behind the kettle? Could you do a little chat about them in a video? Thanks

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hiya Alice, thank you so much, I fit them a few months back and talk about them at the end of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/maeakKCObdN9hKs video if that helps... if not, send me a message with any questions you have about it :)

[@alicebradshaw2534]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures ah brill, thanks. Must've missed that bit. My husband is already planning 😀

Hey buddy, welcome aboard... It's a Vango Kella 2 air awning bud... We have a video on the channel from when we bought it and a mini review :)

[@davidglassford2194]

Hi Colin do you carry a battery booster powerbank ? If so have you tested it & have a link for it. Cheers

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I do mate its the Beaudens unit, there is a video on my channel with a review and link buddy ;)

[@davidglassford2194]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures cheers I’ll have a look

[@stephenhesford3961]

Hi Colin can u please help me why will dvla not class a camper van as a camper they say has to have a hard top and not poptop

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

They changed the rules in 2019 buddy. Not sure why but it doesn't make any difference so you'll be fine leaving it as a van with windows (mine is)

[@stephenhesford3961]

Ok thanks for that Colin still catching up with ur videos ur ace what will go in that gap at front of van ceiling any ideas mate

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ace mate thank you, there is a video on my channel showing me build a board that goes in the gap ;)

[@stephenhesford3961]

Don't no how find that but I try cheers have nice day mate

[@alanscott6088]

Thought fires were not allowed?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

So did we, but it turns out that "no camp fires" means no fires on the ground. The campsite owner said that if it was contained and off the ground that it was ok ;)

[@alanscott6088]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures my apologies have not yet watched full article, I had assumed it was about wild camping in Keilder Forest, a case of "mouth in action before brain in gear" my apologies again.

[@exploresandtosummit]

Are you on any kind of medication? If not you should be! Your nuts... but very funny, brilliant. 👍

[@roxyskinflint22222]

We stayed in kielder last year, and yes an amazing a beautiful place, but the midges when we visited totally ruined the experience, hoped to sit out on a night and it was unbearable

[@the_off_grid_sprinter]

You should maybe show some footage of you dog's poo in a bag to reassure people it was picked up - just a thought.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I draw the line at filming poo haha... It was definitely picked up ;)
