Your new adventures with Percy are amazing! A really refreshing change up for you and the pups, thanks for taking us viewers along for the experience ❤
My mother kept camping log books. When I was being raised with my three brothers we did tenting and pull behind travel trailer. It is interesting today to read through them. So I like the idea of a travel log book.
What a spectacular hike and view from the top. Thanks for letting us know about Jess and Archie. I always wonder when I don’t see them. Great video as always! Thank you!
Absolutly gorgeous The Eagles Nest. Stunning the walk up. Bravo to both of you.👍I agréé with you. We have a trailer but live in an apartment ( flat😘) So going to the trailer is our get-a-way. As you have your boat as your home and your Percy as your get away to land adventures. Enjoy your Percy. You looked so cozy and comy. Thank you for sharing your videos and travels. Regards from Québec Canada. 🍁❤️
What beautiful country!! It’s great to see canal and land views with you. We have a travel trailer, and this past summer drove 11,000 miles across America. So much fun and RVimg is a great way to travel
Wales is such a beautiful country. I'm very glad you are touring her. I must ask, did you see any Tree Nymphs? Wales is simply filled with magic. Thank you for taking us with you. It is fabulous.
The magnificence of nature. Seeing the ancient tree roots growing through everything is wonderful. My scardy cat came out when I saw the old rocky steps….oh, what if you turned your ankle up there! 😅
I (also am sure others agree) am so glad you got Percy and can travel "elsewhere". I've been watching other videos of travels by vans going to Wales and it is absolutely beautiful. After a while, the weather (unfortunately) will get bad with winter coming and you'll be glad to get back on the canals and enjoying the warm fires, reading and relaxing. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Travel safe.
I really liked the Time Lapse, smashing!! Those steps were a gruel for you, but WE, the viewers did not get puffed at all!! Thanks for making this video, it really was lovely - John 😍
Rich, you should paint that sunset at the end of your vlog. What colors and Fran could incorporate the colors into a scarf. Loved the road trip. Maybe seeing your road trips will finally convince my hubby we need a camper van too. 😉😉
Hi Fran and Rich, stunning landscapes!! Thanks for sharing!! Will you be finding a storage home for Percy nearer to your boat or will you Rich always have to travel a day to take Percy home after each break away ? Glad the dogs have settled well, it might have been badgers that they were barking at.... xx
Astonishingly beautiful. Somehow i have come across Guy Shrubsole too, and have the Lost Rainforests of Britain to read. Thanks for sharing your wonderful travels
Hi Fran & Rich! We've enjoyed your Narrow Boat vlogs for a few years, and now we get to follow along on your van journeys. We had the good fortune to live in the UK, for a few years and enjoy seeing places we've been and places we missed. Keep it up! We do have a Sprocker spaniel from Suffolk, where we lived. Lola is 6 years old this year.
Catching up on your podcasts. I think combining motorhome and boat life in the videos is a great idea. I follow mostly motorhomes but have been 'with' you for years. I'm not particularly into narrow boats or canal life, as some of your followers might be, but enjoy the banter, travel, and outdoorsy and arty vibe which will be the same whatever the means of transport. Keep doing what you're doing.
I spent a week on the Mon & Brec last year on a hire boat... and yes, it's absolutely beautiful, as were your views from Percy. You've got the best of both worlds and it's great to have some adventures.
Fab video. Views amazing. Percy looks great. You both look so relaxed. So glad the dogs have found their niche in Percy. Thank you for sharing your fun with us.
My Wife, My two cousin's, their Husbands and I had a weeks holiday on the Mon and Breck some years back. we hired a boat from Beacon Park Boats. Their location then was Llanfoist Wharf, Llanfoist. We went from there as far as Brecon and back. What a wonderful holiday that was.
Wow what a pleasure for you - literally the best of both worlds. You are all going to have an amazing life from now on. Love that area, the scenery is beautiful. Will never forget when we did a road trip from Herefordshire going to Chepstow Castle went round a bend and there was Tintern Abbey. Spectacular to say the least. The Wye river is so scenic from whatever angle you see it from. Oh such a wonderful time you are all going to have .
I so enjoyed your chat while you sat looking out your van window looking at the beautiful vista. I have been in the Brycheiniog Park and went to a village that was so picturesque but only had one way into it….🇨🇦
We hired a boat on the M&B canal with canal boating friends of ours a few years back and it really is probably the most picturesque canal that there is. Maybe walking it will certainly give you a good experience of its beauty. What I do remember (the other three didn’t suffer) was the enormous Horse/March flies which left me with crater sized holes in my limbs for months.
Beautiful! The views after the hike was just amazing! Amazon has gauge that will stick to side of tank or one you use that is like you would use to lift a suitcase and weigh it. The latter one is super accurate; but I also used the others before and they worked.
Hellooo! I kept journeys for my trips OS and still read them now every so often. Its amazing the things you forgot. I love them as they are great to have and look back on. The prices of things is a real! Shocker! Percy looks delightful
Hi there and already I’m envious. I really do want to travel back to Uk. Verner and I spent time in Wales. Super views. About your gas bottles. You probably have the steel canisters which weigh a ton, 2 would weigh over 50kg. We bought 2 lightweight canisters, which weigh 10 kg. Ie 2 weigh less than one steel one. Do yourselves a favour, buy 2 I found them when I was in Devon at a building centre. I unfortunately cannot fit my attachment into the British bottles. So if I need next time I’ll have to rent 2 bottles. Good on jer!
Thank you. We did look into the lightweight canisters but they are so expensive now. We decided to get a second bottle but we will only get a refill when we know the one in use is nearly empty.
Hi Both, thank you for a wonderful video. Methinks you had taken us to Middle Earth a wonderful place to experience and appreciate and thanks for cleaning up after the Orcs. Stay safe and well.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey, such stunning scenery we are blessed with and how much appreciated you both are by us
Thank you so much!
Percy is a great idea and will help you expand all of our horizons.. Thank you for this.
Your new adventures with Percy are amazing! A really refreshing change up for you and the pups, thanks for taking us viewers along for the experience ❤
It’s our pleasure
Fabulous! What amazing memories you are making for yourselves, and for us who can never get there. Thank you so much xxx
Thanks!
As always thank you so much for being so kind and generous and helping us to continue making these videos
Wow, such stunning views. Thank you! (I'm glad you took some time to just rest, too - it's important!)
This is the most stunningly beautiful scenery! Breathtaking! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
We feel very lucky to be able to explore our wonderful countryside and are very happy to share
Lovely scenery. Glad you did the climb instead of me, as I would have been mega out of breath! Thank you for sharing these views.
Love your motor home videos, I love seeing all the places you visit ❤
My mother kept camping log books. When I was being raised with my three brothers we did tenting and pull behind travel trailer. It is interesting today to read through them. So I like the idea of a travel log book.
That must be amazing to read what is was like then. You are so lucky
Another fantastic vlog, thank you from sharing your travels very interesting
Thank you I love your motor home Wales looks amazing
It is a perfect place to begin our exploring
Fabulous trip so beautiful thank you for vlogging ❤
Absolutely stunning place and views , you both look so well and happy ❤ ps loving Percy
Well done Percy for showing them and us ❤ some new lovely sites.
Love your Zepplin shirt!
Thanks for taking us with you Rich and Fran. Oh! And thank you Percy.👍♥️
Here, here, thank you Percy 😍
Thank you!! That was beautiful!
Bravo for completing all those steps!!😊😊
I didn't think it was even possible for you two to get even MORE relaxed, great one yet again guys
We felt the same. Boat life is simple enough but this takes it a step further
Good to see you are enjoying the van.
What a spectacular hike and view from the top.
Thanks for letting us know about Jess and Archie.
I always wonder when I don’t see them.
Great video as always!
Thank you!
Aww, beautiful guys. So relaxing (except those steps!)
Thanks Fran and Rich x Nell.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You look very relaxed sitting on the couches talking to us.
Thank you. It is really relaxing and Percy is so comfortable to click back in
What a gorgeous video! Percy is certainly being a great addition to your lives. Enjoy! 🎉
Absolutly gorgeous The Eagles Nest. Stunning the walk up. Bravo to both of you.👍I agréé with you. We have a trailer but live in an apartment ( flat😘) So going to the trailer is our get-a-way.

Sounds great! This is what we may do if we re ever unable to boat anymore
I really enjoyed it nice to see you both and your new van , take care.
Thanks 👍
What beautiful country!! It’s great to see canal and land views with you. We have a travel trailer, and this past summer drove 11,000 miles across America. So much fun and RVimg is a great way to travel
it is definitely a faster way of life which we are gradually getting used to
Such a beautiful country to explore.
Fabulous journey today. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wales is such a beautiful country. I'm very glad you are touring her. I must ask, did you see any Tree Nymphs? Wales is simply filled with magic. Thank you for taking us with you. It is fabulous.
Only us😂
You both have continued to find just those spots that show the beauty of your country. Then you bring in the history. Thank you. All the best, Hal
Glad you enjoyed it
Fabulous walk, I’m really enjoying the camper van travels with you, thank you Percy!
Glad you enjoyed it
brilliant as always, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
The magnificence of nature. Seeing the ancient tree roots growing through everything is wonderful.

That is true but we are lucky that we can choose the times that we go travelling!
I really liked the Time Lapse, smashing!! Those steps were a gruel for you, but WE, the viewers did not get puffed at all!! Thanks for making this video, it really was lovely - John 😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Rich, that looks like a Stairway to Heaven. 🤔
Very good 👍 😃
Hey Rich, nice going. Keep the heart and lungs pumping. Gotta keep moving if you want to stay in the game. ✌
It definitely makes you think how many planets in the universe are as beautiful as this one and how lucky we are to be on it. Thanks for the vid
Stunning scenery, humbling isn’t it ?
It is. Hills and mountains always ground us.
Love Percy, a lovely way to get around as well as the boat. Enjoy.x
It really is!
That was really impressive, great views and loving the new journey. 🙏🙏💕💕
Glad you enjoyed it
Life sure can be beautiful.
Lovely views, thankyou.
Rich, you should paint that sunset at the end of your vlog. What colors and Fran could incorporate the colors into a scarf. Loved the road trip. Maybe seeing your road trips will finally convince my hubby we need a camper van too. 😉😉
Definitely some inspiration in that sky
hope you sketching Richard .sounds lovely happy day for you. Special moon tonight going out to look at it .
Rich does have an art pack on the van so hopefully he will find some inspiration
Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful landscape.
Love all your video either on the narrowboat or out in the countryside in Percy. Thanks for all the great content.
Glad you like them!
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thanks for the video 😀
Great video . Thanks Go Percy.
Hi~"They" say that Variety is the Spice of Life, and that's what Percy has given you. Terrific video. xx
Yes! Thank you! That is a favourite saying of ours “ they say…yes, them!” 😂
Love Rick’s Teeshirt collection ✌️☮️
Beautiful video, the view is amazing.
What beautiful views😊
good see you on travels in the van thanks lee
Great video, we did the entire 36 miles on mon and Brec canal earlier this year. Amazing views and fab wildlife. Keep up the great videos and thanks.
It looks like a fantastic canal. Such a shape it isn’t linked o the main system
Stunning!
Fabulous!!!
Wow! What beautiful countryside. And the Brecon-Abergavenny canal looks stunning. Thanks for sharing it with us..."if it wasn't for Percy"... Cheers.
Beautiful!!❤❤
Well done you two, another great one!
What an amazing, beautiful spot you found! And that sunrise.. 🤩
Hi Fran and Rich, stunning landscapes!! Thanks for sharing!! Will you be finding a storage home for Percy nearer to your boat or will you Rich always have to travel a day to take Percy home after each break away ? Glad the dogs have settled well, it might have been badgers that they were barking at.... xx
We may look for something nearer if we are going to be in the same area for some time
Very relaxing and stunning places. Enjoy your choices / life.
Wow, what a beautiful walk and the view was amazing. Thanks Percy….😊
Astonishingly beautiful. Somehow i have come across Guy Shrubsole too, and have the Lost Rainforests of Britain to read. Thanks for sharing your wonderful travels
I love reading his books. He really opens your eyes as to what is really going on

Thank you. We're glad we bring back some memories for you. Archie is also from Suffolk so maybe they are related😄
Gorgeous, that’s all I can think to say, and of course thank you.
Thank you too!

Outstanding. Thank you! I love watching your travels !!!
I am so very happy you have Percy. He has perked you up a bit…and us as well…🥰
🤗
Thanks❤
Brilliant couple 😊
Thank you so much 😊
Looks amazing!
Thank you for the walk loved it.😎
Like Percy.
Just caught your latest podcast. Wasn’t aware you had the new van life part 2 up but now that I am will watch both.
Lovely 🌞
Retirement on the Monmouth sounds fab.
I spent a week on the Mon & Brec last year on a hire boat... and yes, it's absolutely beautiful, as were your views from Percy. You've got the best of both worlds and it's great to have some adventures.
Missing you. Hope you’re having lots of fun!
Nice 1 folks…
Fab video. Views amazing. Percy looks great. You both look so relaxed. So glad the dogs have found their niche in Percy. Thank you for sharing your fun with us.
It is amazing how quickly they adapted to new routine. I think they like being so close to us.
Done most of Wales in camper van and caravan love Wales you haven't seen half yet Allen valleys nice .
Hello, well how perfect 👌 best of both worlds 💙
My Wife, My two cousin's, their Husbands and I had a weeks holiday on the Mon and Breck some years back. we hired a boat from Beacon Park Boats. Their location then was Llanfoist Wharf, Llanfoist. We went from there as far as Brecon and back. What a wonderful holiday that was.

Thank you so much! It is such a beautiful area
Hi guys!
Are you sure that was Wales? It wasn't raining...
All the best.
It has rained plenty since. I think we fought their summer!
I so enjoyed your chat while you sat looking out your van window looking at the beautiful vista. I have been in the Brycheiniog Park and went to a village that was so picturesque but only had one way into it….🇨🇦
Some of the roads are so narrow. We are lucky we haven’t got stuck yet.
WOW, thank you both for sharing this video. 😊 😊xx

Wow, hopefully we will escape over winter
Beautiful Wales - quite literally, Mae hen wlad fy nhadau.
Beautiful! The views after the hike was just amazing! Amazon has gauge that will stick to side of tank or one you use that is like you would use to lift a suitcase and weigh it. The latter one is super accurate; but I also used the others before and they worked.
Thank you. In the end we bought a second bottle as we didn’t want to run out in the middle of the winter
Hellooo! I kept journeys for my trips OS and still read them now every so often. Its amazing the things you forgot. I love them as they are great to have and look back on. The prices of things is a real! Shocker! Percy looks delightful
Totally agree! We can see the changes on the canals in just 6 years
Thanks.

PS the lightweight canisters are see through, so you shine a light through them to see how much is left
Thank you. We did look into the lightweight canisters but they are so expensive now. We decided to get a second bottle but we will only get a refill when we know the one in use is nearly empty.
@@FloatingOurBoatcan you not find a second hand one?
Lovely!🧡
Hi Both, thank you for a wonderful video. Methinks you had taken us to Middle Earth a wonderful place to experience and appreciate and thanks for cleaning up after the Orcs. Stay safe and well.
😂
