  • You are never too old to head off on on that next adventure.
    A few years ago I sold my house to experience boat life and now i've taken the next step and got myself an old camper too - This gives me so many more options to do what I love and travel.
    In this weeks video I meet up with a fellow boating friend of mine and we go exploring Lancashire and West Yorkshire in our Camper vans using the Park4night app to wild camp in various locations along the way. Obviously there will be some canal visits too.

    Many thanks for watching, I know a few of you will be asking ‘Why a camper van??!’ Well, the further I cruise my boat away from family & friends the harder it is to visit, plus I can now follow my dreams of travelling on both land and water .....Pirates often go plundering and pillaging on land too 🏴‍☠😁

      Corsairs were land pillaging pirates, pirates plundered at sea and often took entire ships to add to their fleet. Privateers plundered at sea and on land but they did it for a king or country.

    LIMERICK
    There was a young lass called Heidi.
    Some would say she is quite tidy.
    On bridges she swings and in locks she hems those boats in🚤.
    Now we can’t wait to see her on Friday.

    Oh, such a change of plans. Here's a poem for your new adventure.
    Heidi's New Adventure
    Heidi and Sandra set sail no more
    Their narrowboats they left at the shore
    The countryside called, vast and green
    Camper vans they bought, a new scene
    A wandering life, they each embarked
    Through winding roads and paths unmarked
    From sea to mountains, they did roam
    A freedom found, like birds to home
    No more the waterways, a new way
    Nature, they sought in full array
    The winds of change, now blowing strong
    A life renewed, like a brand new song
    Heidi and Sandra, now free to roam
    Their life, their own, no more at home
    With each wood, meadow and hill
    Their hearts now full, a new life to fill.

    Heidi is a young (ish!) Lass,
    She sails the waterways,
    She films her adventures,
    Whilst rattling her dentures,
    And sipping at her rum..
    The tow paths are slippery,
    So pray She don't slip on her bum!

I am very interested in how Sandra is coping with the Irish Canals. I also would like to ship Merlot over to Ireland as husband dreams of living there. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next adventures. Bye for now. Heather x

    I uprated the electrics on my 7m camper.Bolted a 500w solar panel to the roof, added another 100Amp hour battery. Only wish I had put in a 2000 Wat inverter instead of the 1000W one as it won't power up the microwave when I'm wild camping.

    Superb filming and commentaries on an exceptional adventure.
    Rocking up at the pub and not being open reminded me of pulling up outside the Anchor on the Shroppie one day and it not open until the landlady felt like it. When it did though I was overjoyed at learning that the band Black Sabbath used the pub for a drink after band practice so I was made up.
    Hope you are well and all is well with you.

    Also Heysham and Morecambe are my days out and short stays plus Lancaster.Carnforth is lovely the train station is so lovely.
    Love the Camper Van although you do get residents in Morecambe moaning about the Camper vans spoiling the views lol
    Rita's cafe on the front is a must!
    I want a camper van lol In 1977 I travelled from my Grandmother's house in Belfast all around the Irish Coast in my Uncle's converted meat van! the best holiday ever!
    it's great to mix up what you are doing!
    I did want to live on a narrowboat as a child and Bunkbeds were my narrowboat! although had afternoon tea on one last year!

    hi heidi loved watching this weeks and had a cuppa and put pen to paper or finger to keyboard
    here tis
    Friday down under await the next episode,
    A bit of a change she swapped the cut for the road
    Polly the van was the vehicle she bought
    Her experience with this amounted to nought
    She drives it up front not way down the back
    With plush cosy seats for resting her (back)
    A nice big round wheel for her to hold
    And a windscreen up front so her nipples aren’t cold
    She drove where the battles of roses were fought
    A nice quiet spot was all that she sought
    Near a pub with some food to fill up her tum
    Not to forget the compulsory rum
    The fish and the chips and some drinks she was hopin
    But our lovely wench had no tool used to open
    Back on the boat with the van put away
    We now wait for more to see next friday
    cheers Aussie dave

    Was Sandra the same lady you u visited in Ireland some while back .
    Your journey was interesting despite the weather, they say a change is as good as a rest
    Your camper is really cute and in really good shape. We're having typical April showery weather .
    and the grass is turning green again after being snow covered for so long.

    My list of Ladies of the of ill repute
    1: The Rum Wench
    2: Anne Bonny (sailed with Calico Jack)
    3: Mary Read (known “friend” of Anne Read)
    4: Lady Mary Killigrew (Her husband was tasked by the Queen to hunt down pirates)
    5: Maria Lindsey (Married to Eric Cobham ,Stole a ship from the navy dock yard in Plymouth)
    6: Grace O'Malley (Fiery Irish red head)
    7: Rachel Wall ( The last female pirate to be hung in Massachusetts)
    All theses Ladies was pirates of some reputation. Number one on this list is still at large , but can be pacified with quantities of liquid gold sold at all good grog shops.
    If you should see her cruising the inland waterways give her a hearty wave, and never ever try to board her from behind
    Good sailing Heidi keep the wind at your back and your tinder (firewood) dry

    P.s a great piece of kit to get for the van is a small pair of sturdy metal tyre ramps - the hard plastic ones just sink into soft ground, or snap on hard surfaces.
    They come in handy if you’re parked somewhere overnight and you want to level out the van. Just to stop the blood rushing to your head whenever you lie down.
    🙂🐿🌈❤️

    Oh no!
    Now I'm confused again. It's hard enough tryin' to follow the Pirate Queen on a boat. Now she's got a bloody van too!
    She's roaming both the water, and the roads. Take care, folks...🤔
    Too much for me. Have to search my cupboards for some rum... of course just for my bloodpressure...
    Thanks Heidi, You really makes days more funny. Love you!
    (No, not in that way...😛)

    What a super adventure Rum Lass, didn't know you were going to be on my turf for a jot ☺ See you can't stay away from the waterways (he he) Next time your round this way you're welcome to come and have a play and make something in my tiny workshop. If only I could fit it in a narrow boat 😣. Keep your shiny side up. Subbed, liked and rang your bell ☺

    I definitely going to have a look at some of these. 🙂
