What a fabulous little break, these unplanned breaks are always the best. Thank you for the information about Campra, will file it for the future plans. Stay safe, see you in the next one.

Thanks Michelle- it was a bit of a revelation for us. Don't know why we haven't used them before. Our friends are now all saying they have used similar sites regularly. We are always one of the last ones to catch on!

Looks like you had a good break - that brewery was a great find

It was a lovely little stopover - and a nice treat having a couple of small beers on our walk 😊

Thanks for another lovely video with great info. Didn’t know of these sites 😀😊

I have seen a few popping up recently - a great concept

We are so enjoying your videos - retirement advice and campervan tips are just what we are interested in! We also have a VW camper "Trakkadu" in Australia.... loving weekend and school holiday trips!

Australia is on our bucket list...but it will be a while until we can finance such a big trip! Thanks for taking the time to leave the lovely comment.

Wow, what a lovely impromptu camp. The brewery pub looks amazing, we missed out on a stool from the mouse man, it was just too expensive. We will definitely visit Market Drayton and visit the pub. Looking forward to hearing about your trip to the NEC. Hope you visited the Bilbo''s stand.😀🚐

We agree- some of our best trips have been very impromptu. It was our first trip to the NEC- it was a great day out without feeling like we needed to film content. It was great seeing all the different options that are out there. We came away with a bit more understanding of what's out there...but also with so many more questions! We visited ALL the stands- it was a long day!

Great video guys. What a fab little Aire you found there and the brewery looked fab. Looking forward to the surprise coming up in the next video 😂😂 Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

Oh the brewery was a beaut'. Don't think that it will be our last visit there. Hope you two are keeping well?

Looks like a great stop over, will definitely be heading there this year. 👍

Thank you 😊

Love search4sites and aires. We’re big fans of the costal park ups on the Fife costal path…..some great facilities inc. overnight toilet at Ellie and Kingsbarns.

Thanks for the recommendations Ian- we will definitely seek those out the next time we are north of the border. 👍

I’ve been enjoying your vlogs..watch them on the TV then comment on my iPad…then often forget! Sorry! 😮I have often wondered if you might get tempted with a larger van…and now you’ve said about going to the NEC show…I’m going to watch this space! 🤔 😊

No need to apologise😂 we are just glad that you find our channel of use. We have lots of exciting decisions ahead and we are just dipping our toes in the water of van research. We do love Nelson though so he is not going anywhere too soon.🚐

Thank you. That was really interesting. My wife and I are about to retire and are loving your channel. Sorry to be a little crude but with a small camper what do you do about toilet facilities for example in the middle of the night? Kind regards

There are times when a VW has its limitations! When we are on campsites we just treck to the toilet block - that was fun in -14 degrees whilst skiing! When we are wild camping we will just have a wee behind the van. We make sure we have access to public toilets or facilities for anything else! Thanks for watching our vlogs and hope they give you some ideas for your retirement plans.

Nice! Great find for £8. Its a real shame they dont make a simple easy to find and use directory! Why stick it on a paid app only? I've tried a few times to search for sites and just given up in frustration. New van is self sufficient in terms of facilities so maybe worth trying again. Interested to know why you went to the NEC - new van search by any chance?

It was just a nice quiet remote spot which suits us. We actually found it on p4night and google maps which are our 2 go to apps to start looking for places. No new van for a couple of years but starting to get an idea of what we want in a new van and may have to order in late 2024 if we went for a new van that we spec out ourselves. 🚐

@@earlyretirementwanderlust exciting time dreaming up the next one - we were a bit impulsive buying ours at the last NEC show but instantly knew we had found the right one when we saw it. Just watching your new vlog now....

I’m guessing the NEC visit will herald a new form of transport………..

Not for a couple of years 🤣 but starting to get ideas of what is out there. Van designs have changed so much since we got ours in 2017
