Hi, we are Mark & Sioux. Our channel is about everything campervan/motorhome and full time vanlife, travel and adventure. We want to encourage people to get out and explore and enjoy the outdoors more. Not just in the UK but also Europe. we want to inspire you to travel and see places, to have the confidence to take on new adventures. I hope to do this by giving you a small insight into trips we've made. I'm no expert, I'm just finding my way like you could. When I first got my motorhome I wasn't really sure where to go in it. We didn't want to sit on a camp site plugged into mains. That's not adventure. So don't just watch the videos. Go and have the adventure. Our hobbies are spearfishing and bushcraft along with a few others that will be included in my videos. Ok let's stop the boring stuff click a video.

VERY interesting video, thank you guys!
Glad you liked it Connie, surprised you have only just seen it.
As is so often the case the councils have got their head in the sand and are absolutely missing a trick. We need a system like the camping car parks in France, where the local are very welcoming because you pay a small fee, you spend money in their shops and restaurants and give something back to the community. I also watched your video from Morecambe….i just don’t get it. I live a stones throw from Morecambe. There is so much room to have some designated Motorhome park ups which would help avoid confrontation and bring some money into the resort….which to be honest is well needed it has become so sadly run down.
Almost everywhere in France and Spain you can park, empty your toilet and fill up with water for free. This means visits spend more in local shops because they park, travel around locally have a few beers, and are made to feel welcome and generally come back time and again. Probably with this country is the council want to charge way to much so tourists don't want to stay longer than necessarily. If we had better weather in the UK the councils could do it. We just don't get consistent good weather.
You seriously want people to comment on their own comments so you can run your mouth and argue? If you feel the comments are unfair and feel the need to ALWAYS call people out then you don't belong on KZread Buttercup.
Some 20yrs ago I got 3 points & a £250 fine for tapping some blokes mirror, he was parked on a corner on a zebra crossing but because he reported it before me I got done! Bas@%rd !
I am wondering if this guy tries to claim something. I've got the footage so he can do as he likes. Who do you thinks to blame
@@Roadshome well the average person would just click it back n carry on but this twat seems to think You are in the wrong when HE was the one almost over the white line, you were clearly over as far as you could get not he still wanted more. He's a first class Karen bruv 👍✌
Best to just stop and let them pass rather than U both trying to move by? 🤔🥰... Your interior of your van is AMAZING!!! ❤🎉✌️XX
I actually thought while making the video I should just stop and let them pass me, then I'm not to blame in any way. Good advice and I will try it next time. Do you means siouxs van where I talk or my an that I'm driving at start ? The reason I liked bought the van was how bright and positive it felt with all sun shining inside. Also having a bed I didn't need to make each night. I need to do a van tour at so.e point and show you guys around.
These people do NOT want YOUR lifestyle, they are NOT jealous of you. They want the lifestyle that they PAID for, in homes and in taxes, you have no claim to their waterfront view unless you would also enjoy paying taxes.
Thanks for your wonderful comment Connie. 😀 . P.s. You can't own a view. Hope your well. Have a wonderful day. Sioux ❤️
The jab has sent people loopy 🤪
People on the roads now days are very entitled
Yes, think next time we will both stop and let the other vehicles drive past us.
Leaving a mess behind..... standard 😂
Thanks for watching. kzread.info/head/PL8VNsJJgAh4C_al4bVl0JzeeUI0uD9Y2i&si=tybDqy6nY_GP8JxG
Surprise, surprise I knew how the guy would look like, always the usual suspects
nice to meet you the other day m8, so gutted you had a crap time leaving, id say keep that footage looks like he will try to make a claim, blatently no damage to his mirror ..... funny about the council, got to address those seriarse issues 😉
Yeah I was wondering why he would want to make a big issue over nothing. Don't know what he would claim for as there wasn't any marks or damage.
No common sense any more that's the problem we need to be protected against the nutters there's too many of them m8 take care my friend ❤
Talking about protection, that's another thing a resident mentioned in the meeting!
Thanks for the reminder we are nearly out of pepper
Police 5 yes❤
I had to Google it. For some reason my brain said I was wrong. Sioux had no idea as it was only broadcast down south and she came from Summerseat
He is clearly at fault🙄people cannot drive. Can she not put salt in a pepper pot?😂😂😂Keep safe guys.
😆 🤣 😂 can you imagine chief of police with the missing salt pot case.
Right both vehicles were in the incorrect place. The pick up had room on his near side (. Although he is used to taking up all the room him self ). The blue car driver obviously does not know the width of own car and trying to drive in middle of road. Both times you were very close to your side (. I’m now sailing off a load of salt pots as only have salt pots ). Unfortunately there are to many drivers on the roads who are unable to drive for the situation and without due care and can not anticipate what is happening right in front of them
Thanks its nice just to hear it from someone else. I've watch the video a few times to decide if I were also in the wrong but other than stop to wait for the 4x4 to pass me I couldn't do anything else. Old dear had a few better choices to make stop sooner and give me more room or more over 🤔 the 4x4 guy getting out to mouth off was a big no no. He's lucky I didn't take the bait.
New sub here . Good to finally hear a channel prepared to discuss the trespass laws and its effects on van life. I tried bringing this up on some big channels in 2020 but no one wanted to know . There is 100% an attack on alternate lifestyles, I've been living in my van 12 yrs , it's never been harder or as expensive and there is definitely a stigma these days, more so if your a solo male . I've also seen the other side , the part time van jokers that leave human and dog waste and rubbish and broken glass etc , sickening . If you are thinking of getting into it think carefully beforehand.
Hi, thanks for subscribing, here is a link to the trespass vlog we put out back in 2022. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaJrpNKIfKawiNI.html
As far as I'm concerned I'm not a driver but under my judgement both mishaps were not your fault. First one Mr egotistical clearly had room to get through plus move over 4 wheel drive . The 2nd one small car should have kept over they side but are likely the scared types so scared when they drive round a corner they need a plum line to do so :)
I can forgive the old dear in blue car. She was following the centre line, yes, poor driving, but a lot of old people do it. The 4x4 guy had plenty of room and could have moved over. The speed he got out, the car said he wanted confrontation but wasn't counting on someone who would stand-up for themselves. I've watched the video back myself and I didn't have any more room on my side, he did. Cheers for your comment and support 👍 Timothy.
I will have to get you to follow me down some of those roads when i get the big home on the move 😂. See who doesn't move over then lol.
Best get back on morecambe prom..safe there !!
Was it me at fault ? Or him ?
it's time for that pint of wine now
I could have done with more than a pint yesterday. A bucket more like. I was fuming 😤 he's lucky I stayed in the van.
ahh my guess was crimewatch 🤣
There was a programme before crime watch, on Sundays at 12 midday. ??
@@Roadshome"Police 5" rings a bell, I'm fairly sure there was another one as well.
@@alanhat5252Police 5 was the one I'm sure
@alanhat5252 there was a kids version too police 5 junior also with Sean taylor😊
❤
Thank you ☮️ ❤️
Back in the 1950's I used to go to the fair with my granddad, at that time it was all about meeting up with old friends and horse dealings. My granddad told me to listen to "These lads" as they know all there is to know about a "HOSS".
I've seen the fair, They don't cause trouble, trouble is too many people have bought secound homes, and they are the worst of British public SNOBS, live and let live the pubs are happy chippys happy greatvday out.
The same has happened in Cornwall unfortunately. Rich out of town folk buying up holiday homes so locals can't afford to live in the towns they grew up. They don't have tradition James.
Not our traditions and heritage.
What do you mean It's not your tradition, as in your not British ? If you come to live in England, then surely you need to understand British traditions.
Tax payer your having a laugh
Gypo's Atall atall atall.... theiving, no good , scruffy b*s£a&rds
2 busy bodys these 2😂😂😂
Not sure what your commenting on, but we would love to say thanks for watching the video we hope you enjoyed it. ❤️🐎🐎
'Traverlers' 😂
Not sure what your comment is in relation to.
@@Roadshome inability to spell it....
Oh is that all. 🤔
These travellers are just a pain. My partner and I were returning from Kirkby Stephen, on the road which eventually takes you to Sedbergh. We spotted a gypsy caravan and 2 horses, pulled into a lay-by around 200 meters in front of us, with the guy sorting the horses reins out etc. We were on a very long straight section of road, with nothing behind us as far as we could see, yet he still led the horses and caravan straight out into the road in front of us...... Sheer ignorance. As we continued driving towards Sedbergh, we often saw piles of rubbish left at the side of the road, where they'd stopped overnight.
Sorry but if you followed the law you would know, what is the order of priority on the road is ? As you are not aware I'll tell you. Pedestrian, followed by bicycle, horse, motorcycle, car, HGV. You should give 1.5m room when passing, if you don't have that space you don't pass. The horse has priority over car drivers. The horse was around before the car. Is more at risk.
we wanted to ask the if the vans get really hot inside in summer and how do you cope with that ? does the van get unbearably hot at times, is it worst at night sweating in bed 😆?? Also tips on keeping animals cool in a van ? and how do your dogs cope with the heat? asking for tips for the future thanks. if you both had a choice what season would you choose to pick as your favorite in van life and in which country? i.e. summer in Spain ,winter in Spain ? which is the hardest season as in comfort, cost, weather , economy in van life and why?? is van life cheaper in summer than winter?? this would make a brilliant topic for a live vlog or just a vlog. sorry we love asking questions for the future. Love from Paul and Denise.
Hi Paul we will mention you and answer your questions in the next video, as its a very sensible and valid question. Hope that's OK 👍
Brilliant and thanks again Sioux and Mark.x
Hello Sioux and Mark, sorry we missed the live vlog . We are watching it now thanks again. Thanks for doing the Appleby vlogs they were brilliant, love that fair and been a few times. Please do another live. Brilliant guys .take care and God bless ,Love from Paul and Denise.
I live in hartlepool
Hopefully all went well ❤️🩹 at Appleby safe journey home 🏡
Thank you Wendy. Did you get to appleby yourself ? If not have you been before ?
@@Roadshome I have not been to Appleby for a long time now but I might try and get there next year.
pontefract
Not to far away from us. Are you out enjoying the sun.
Two horses died this year at the Appleby horse fair, if it were two dogs passing away at a dog show, they'd quite rightly cancel it.
Cancelling it isn't the answer, it's prosecuting those who are responsible. Many people speed in there cars should me and you both be banned because of them ?
With all due respect there's a huge difference between poor animal husbandry and humans driving cars. Animals have no say in how they are treated and are at the mercy of their owners. As humans, if we take the decision to drive, we thus accept the risks involved.
What I am saying is it was only 2 out of a few hundred. There were plenty of very well cared for animals. It's not fair to punish all the good owners because of 2 bad. There are many horse that die in the grand national each year. We haven't banned horse racing because of it. The bad owners are ones who need punishment.
You are blatantly trying to create drama and turn the Travelers against the town. NOBODY said that Travelers weren't spending money in that town, they said YOU should spend some money and stop wasting their time, when NO ONE wants you to interview them because you're so effing negative.
Thank you for watching Connie, hope you have enjoyed our videos.
No we are not. Many people said the travellers make a mess, leave rubbish, and don't pay for nothing, they steal from the locals. But in fact police themselves say crime is down in the town as a result of extra policing. When you consider 10k are travellers and 20k visitors how are they sure it's not just criminals coming to the event to steal. ? Opportunist.

its a crying shame that we have lost the prom
Yes. Very frustrating especially along the stretch opposite the school and sand dunes. No reason to close that area at all as it's a school field and no views to block or houses to disturb.
Appleby is a tradition,why not accommodate it .
Great video soon English seasides will be ghost towns
Unfortunately I'll agree with you. And what's worse is the locals themselves don't fully agree with what the council have done.
@@Roadshome the rich buying holiday lets and houses for themselves, are a massive problem out pricing the locals, and they don't need business, and don't want people to visit so soon it will just me a place for the rich to go on holiday while we stay at home working for an over priced holiday to Spain, wish people would wake up
Isn't it about time that the so called public police got a life and left this type of people alone, they have done nothing wrong so therefore should not be persequted by a force that is so far out of touch with real life , it cannot think for it's self . Then poeple wonder why we have very little respect for the POLICE , i hope that all the councilers of APPLEBY are happy now and can sleep well in there posh houses .
Gippos yet again causing
Not sure what your comment means but thanks for watching, maybe watch some of our other videos.
Shame on the authorities who dug up the grass verges, where the travellers used-to pull onto. It’s creating more problems. Which is what they want. Maybe a fee could be paid by each caravan/van to pull onto a meadow for the night. The farmer/land owner would make a few bob for his trouble. A solution could be reached.
The travellers offered locals to use the field. Because they don't want the fair they said no.
Did they offer to pay the owner a park up fee?
@maddydavies7673 they offered to paid yes, they offered to pay all clean up costs on leaving. They also offered to buy the field. All turned down.
I dont care how mu h it will cost i am going to Appleby next yr for sure from Canada 🇨🇦 love horses love traveling life && love you videos thank you for sharing 😊
Did you manage to find all our Appleby videos, we have a playlist, if you would be lovely enough to like, share and subscribe that would be very helpful, we are also doing a livestream on Saturday 2pm England time.
Also if you do manage to get to Appleby, let us know and we will meet you there. 😊
I've watched pretty much all your videos love em'!! Hope to run into you both next yr it's a dream of mine to attend!
If you need accommodation, you need to book it now, you can email us if you like and we can try to help.
What give them the right to just go on private land 🤔😡
No one gave them the right. They were told bu police to move from the roadside. So the only place to move to was the field. Once on the field they were told to move back to the road. Like you saw the video, even the police didn't like what they were having to do and could see the frustration created. It would be easier to allow them on the verges where they have stopped in the past. Then no private land would be trespassed on.
