Good video 📹 you're well prepared for the good weather 👍 I couldn't help but notice that the quietest 'person' in the house was the dog 🐾🐾😂😂 Cheers🍷🍺
Haha, thats so true, he's the calming influence :)
They look great fun. We started with an inflatable 2 man kayak, enjoyed it so much we've now got 2 solid kayaks (Dagger) . Obviously more difficult to transport, our van not a pop top so we have a roof rack. Can't beat a day on (or in) the water in the sunshine 🌞.
See you on Ullswater one day! Or Derwent, or Coniston or Windermere! 😀
Awesome, I can guarantee that you will hear me before you see me haha!!!
Can you believe it, you’ve actual brought something we neither need nor want👍🏻 My missus will be well pleased 😀
Wait until it actually sinks in though hahaha
At last! Like you say, a purchase that I wouldn’t want, saved me a fortune this time, well chuffed!! 👏
Another great video, thanks. You are all hilarious - great family. I love watching you all. 💕
Some great additions to the adventure. If you come up with a solution to keep dry in the kayak let us know. I always wear shorts or waterproof trousers and take a sponge and some towels in the boat to dry things off. That or paddle carefully to limit the splashes.
I will do mate, I am thinking of whats called "short paddling" which is keeping the paddles low in the water without lifting them up so high... I might design a cover that has a tent style pole in the middle to push the water back over the edges, I shall keep you informed... ;)
I love my SUP! I got the electric pump to save on the (workout on its own) manual pump!
got my board last year great fun sticker looks good
Colin you said wet suits first , then straight in to life jackets, so think you were right mate lol
Yesssss I'll grab the fan fair 🤣🤣
Really enjoyed this video. Very entertaining 😁
Thanks buddy!
Love the fact they can go on your back - never tried paddle boarding looks fun .
Can you use a cigarette pump to inflate them ? The hand pumps would take up so much room in the van .
Also stickers look great 👍
Any recommendations on your supplier ?
( not quite enough subs for stickers yet but good to keep an eye on local suppliers )
Love your filming getting the van ready - takes a lot of work for a short clip but look really professional .
Do you use a camera or phone to film ?
And did you use a go pro for on the board or have some kind of clip for your camera ?
Sorry for all the questions !!!
Yeah that was a huge deal breaker for us, being able to carry them is a must... We are planning on getting a cigarette lighter pump to get them mostly inflated then using the hand pumps for the high pressure bit on the paddle boards.
I highly recommend the sticker supplier, Wright Sign Services in Pudsey ;)
Thanks for the nice words about my filming, yes it takes a while to get those filmed, but worth it in the end. I use a DJI Osmo Action to film (super steady) and also a Sony A6400.
While I was onboard the boat filming I just stuck it down my life jacket haha.... Not very pro but it worked!!!
Dont worry about all the questions, its what we are here for...
Have you tried out the paddle board yet? Will you be doing a video on it later?
We have used them loads, just not filmed it, but we will be taking them away with us this year to camp sites so will definitely get some good footage :)
do you actually live in “ Hotton “ Colin? I used to live there. Still local. noticed on your wild camp you bumped into Paula Beaumont nee Farnaby.
Yes bud, "Hotton" haha I like the reference
I love it. I was thinking about getting a kayak. But I am thinking about taking my dog for a float to haha. Do you think it’s strong enough to take a dog, well dog claws. Or will it just pop haha.
Have fun ~x~
I will be honest, I am not sure Branston is clever enough not to jump out (that would be my ultimate concern) but the bit the blows up is separate to the actual canvas the covers the boat, so even if your pooch did pierce the lining it would have to go through that and the inflatable bit (hope that makes sense)
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures hi
Thanks for that. And I do have a feeling my dog would prob leap out she is a lively one haha.
Thanks though. It looks ace.
Your house is always immaculate or do you just film in a show house!! 👍
Aww thanks, we do a massive clean before we film, you wouldnt want to see it now haha!!
Milo, our black lab, asks “where did you get that collar from.. woof “.
Can you help please?
Haha, I cant speak dog so I will let you translate back to your pooch! - The collar is from Pet Wise in Otley (a great and well stocked pet shop)
Where and when can I get the stickers?
I'll let you know as soon as I know buddy!
👍🏻
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures
Where did you get the porta potti seat cover? Can’t seem to find it on the thetford website? Great UA-cam site btw and really useful stuff 👍
@@petermarley7880 They are having stock issues re: The current situation (I think they come from Spain) so sadly nobody can get hold of them yet... As soon as they become available I will mention it in an up and coming video ;)
