Easter break 2018
Easter is usually the time when Spring really starts to show its arrival in the countryside around us. We’ve had great times camping during the Easter break, the weather has always been slightly dubious, but generally it’s been bright, sunny and full of Spring time promise. Not this year. Nope, Easter was a washout. And for some that were away in the caravan, it was more than a wash out – snow was very much on the cards. For us however, we were treated to some wonderful days of constant rain. Camping at the Caravan & Motorhome club in Longleat we were joined by the Hardhams’ for 4 days...
Read MoreBrand ambassadors
We have a lot planned for 2018 and much of it we cannot discuss until it is confirmed. Some of it is in relation with working with some familiar brands that you have heard of, some of it is projects we have planned for later this year. It is a real shame we cannot tell you more, but today we are able to let you in on one secret. We are delighted to share that Vango have asked us to become brand ambassadors. As many of you are aware we love Vango, we have kitted out our awning with lots off their furniture and accessories already, and being Vango brand ambassadors suits us perfectly. Okay, so...

Read MoreYouTube Live
Over the past few weeks we have been hosting “Monday Night Live” on our YouTube channel. The series of Live broadcasts have been received well. In our 1st live video we discussed the up and coming NEC Motorhome show and generally got to grips with the Live video concept. It was a nerve racking time but I think we did okay. Our 2nd Monday night live was more structured and we had learnt some lessons from the 1st one with reading comments and what to do when broadcasting. It did also teach us the lesson of troll management, as this episode was hit by a lot of unsavoury types for some reason....
Read MoreZebra Pot Chilli
You may have noticed that we always forget the zebra pot containing our chilli for the 1st night’s dinner in our holiday vlogs. It’s a running joke in our house, but we’ve only forgotten it twice. Maybe three times, um – actually four? Anyway, back to the plot. I do get asked a lot what is our recipe. So, here is our Zebra Chilli. No, it doesn’t contain zebra, it’s in relation to the pot we use. Ingredients – 400g of Minced Beef – 2 Onions – 2 Clove garlic – crushed – 1 tin Chopped tomatoes – 1 tin Red Kidney beans – 1 tin Baked Beans –...
Read More10K Giveaway
If anyone had said to me back in January 2016, “Dan, your family will have 10,000 subscribers on a YouTube channel next year that is focused towards the UK caravanning scene” I would have laughed at them from a great distance. But here is the reality: We do and we have. A thank you from me just doesn’t seem to cut this immense milestone, so the only fitting way to celebrate and mark this occasion to to hold a give away. Up for grabs are 10 prizes from brands and companies we have worked with over the past couple of years. For a full list of the prizes and more details about the competition,...
