I enjoy your videos so much. I appreciate that there is no bad language and smutty "humour" is an instant turn off, and that is exactly what I do. Greetings from South Africa.,
Of all the music throughout all the videos, the last piece that played on this video was the very "best". I could listen to that at any and all times!!
You don't own it. But you humbly share it with us. You love it and appreciate it and gently show us its beauty , you are gentle wonderfully kind people. I am lucky to have found you both. Thank you xx
I don’t mind pigeons..apart from them being rather greedy at the bird table..they share it with pheasants and array of other birds..they are protected birds now..we get quite a few where we live on several acres as a back gardens. The death cap toadstool so pretty to look at ...not to fry up tho. It’s nice to get out and have a nice walk around . I enjoy your narration..
Thanks for taking us along on your trip again, the breakfast looked really good. We know that Ken has many names for Carol, but does Carol have any for Ken, or are they not mentionable on video! 😂
"Charlie Brown is navigating. Not always a good thing" LOL. Whenever we are in the van and its pouring with rain, I also say: "Glad we're not in a tent".
My family began our camping life in tents. Even after my parents graduated to a 32ft Holiday Rambler for retirement, during heavy rains someone would quip, 'don't touch the sides'! Lol
How many stalls = a market 🤪 lol I agree re research Ken - Jane is the fact guru. Loved the metal sculpture looked so real. Jane said there is no such thing as a nice beetle she hates them. Great video guys
Lovely video as always from the pair of you - poor Carol and the stone piles disease 😉. The sculptures were really interesting thanks for taking us along a treasure hunt. You are relaxing to watch - we also feel you deserve an award for dealing with the crazy weather too. Xxx
I am always posting ‘thank yous’ to Carol and Ken and this post is no different. I love Ken’s humour - the comment about the halloween cake “If you need one” was soooo funny! (as much as I’d like a chocolate teapot, I thought!) Just want to say how much your videos brighten up the darkest day C&K - having watched all your back catalogue, I’ve been forced to look for other youtubers in campervans but, call me old (I don’t mind) I can’t stand the bad language - so very pleased that we don’t have to be ‘entertained’ with that in your vids. thank you and keep making videos for us x
Thank you so much Sheila, that is such a lovely comment. We appreciate you watching all our videos and hope we can keep you entertained long into the future 😀
That looked like quite an obstacle course to get back to the van. I’m like Carol with the research thing, always checking things out! Thanks for another great video 😊
We didn’t have a clue either and had to look it up. Apparently the rock, taken from a local quarry and carrying the marks of trees from 300 million years ago, symbolises the carboniferous forests that make up the geological formation known as the Coal Measures. The cast iron pole represents larch props used to brace the coal mine tunnels. Good to know 😂
Lots of history in Thame Oxfordshire plenty of good restaurants and cafes Tuesday cattle markets snd country trails love your channel very Tudor style goes back centuries
Hi both, glad you're still enjoying the Brown Bear Coffee. I don't know about you but I've decided to stick with that "Blue mountain" variety. I found the other one to strong and I'll swear it affected my nights night's sleep. Too much caffeine in the Mambo Italiano for this old bear. Glad to see you enjoyed the Sculpture trail. I believe the trail is about 40 or so years old now but some of the original pieces have been replaced. I think I was told that church in Coleford was destroyed by Olly Cromwell's lot. They certainly did a fair bit of damage around these parts. They even used one of the churches in Bristol as stabling for the horses. Sorry about the weather. You don't want to come to Gloucestershire without yer wellies, look what happened to poor old Dr Foster. 🙄😬
@Life is too short in Gloucester docks there is a pub restaurant called Dr Fosters and I think also the commissary in the hospital is called that. The other thing we're famous for is Beatrix Potter's tailor of Gloucester. Fair dos though, I don't remember being taught it but it was in my little brother's nursery rhyme book when I was older. Not her but in Twickenham. 😬
Good weather to sludge about in but you had a good pair of wellies to help you cope and we get a true representation of the British weather. Nice that you remain upbeat about it. Carol's determination to access somewhat obscure knowledge is very impressive and interesting. Keep it up and thanks a lot for for sharing.
You both looked knackered after that walk no wonder you were still in your P.J's at 9am. Well done for having a relaxing morning it was a lovely walk in the woods with you even if quite muddy and I find walking long distances in boots really tiring as well. Lovely video folks thanks so much. xxxx
Nice vlog. I liked your walk in the lovely park & village. My great grandfather & grandmother are from Wales we visited Bristol England, our friends who lived in Cwmbran & did tour of southern Wales & northern Wales and my grandfather's home town of Llanrhystud. England and Wales are very beautiful. I loved it there. 🇺🇸 💖Pamela
Hello Ken / Carol That was a very pleasant walk even if it was not the best of days weather wise to bad you did not see any wildlife I have heard from friends that the forrest is getting over run with wild boar . Have a great weekend take care .
The mushroom at 11:45 is an amanita muscaria (aka "fly agaric"). Not poisonous, but if eaten would likely produce hallucinogenic intoxication. In any case, they are a very interesting looking when spotted on a trail.
Thanks for another interesting video. Brings back memories of when I lived in Bristol and it was great to get out of the city and visit the Forest of Dean. I first saw some wooden sculptures by the very talented David Nash on the sculpture trail there. Seeing his sculptures in situ in the forest was wonderful. Many years later, I saw an exhibition of his in Eastbourne. The sculptures were still amazing, but to me seeing them in the forest as part of the environment was more fitting than the sterile gallery location.
That seemed like a busy day for you with a long walk through the mud, cinema and onto a curry afterwards. I bet you were tired and slept through the rain. Sculptures in the woods made me remember the story I read a while back on a mystery tales website, stairway in the woods. Climb to the top and both disappear.
Nice woodland walk after such a lousy start to the day👍 If you were at home, that's just the sort of day you'd stay inside and not bother. When you're in the van you tend to take advantage of those little improvements and breaks in the weather👍😁
Great vlog again guys, thanks for taking us with you. That rain reminds us of our time at Christmas! Just know you wanted to splash in those puddles too, well done for resisting. We love walking in woods too and add a sculpture or two and it's a win, win. 👍😀
I’m just loving you exploring my stomping ground.The Highland cattle can usually be found far side of Woorgreens lake, better excessed via path directly opposite cemetery.cinderford Palace is a beautiful old cinema and cheaper than studio in Coleford. Just sorry you didn’t get better weather to enjoy the autumn season in the Forest.
Ahoy Pirates! .) Another cute video from you two! Made me laugh at many points! How I missed you both! Halloween?! My Lord, I'm so left behind! XD We are back to spring here, so hopefully, I can start to shoot hiking and traveling videos again soon! ;) bear hugs from your Captain
Thanks for taking the time to catch up with the videos. We are back to rain again today. Hoping it clears up by the end of the week so we can get away. Enjoy your hiking and travel safe 😀👍❤️
I’m sorry I should have said I’ve been watching your videos you make touring and wild camping look so simple. I’d appreciate any suggestions. Keto rocks!
We feel your pain on experimenting with audio Ken, it’s very difficult when you’re mobile, especially outdoors in winter. Great video, loving those welly boots too 😁
Great video Carol and Ken, thank you! I was a bit confused by the "Hallowe'en" bit but I soon caught up. Rain can be quite beautiful, but probably best enjoyed from somewhere dry when it's cold! Thank you for another pretty walk ☺️
I really enjoy your videos. Your travels are refreshing - old style, checking out the sights etc.and just general conversation just being normal inquisitive tourists, showing a real sense of sharing I would like to point out however that I have noticed the background music when you are talking is really annoying, its too loud and so more diffiicult to hear what you are saying. .Background music is fine when no conversation is happening. Hope you will take my comments as being constructive criticism into consideration with future videos.
That was good thanks will you go back in better weather ….I thought that first sculpture looked really dangerous especially with it being at the bottom of a slope where kids might run down and not be able to stop shame you didn’t see them all x
Carol you can make my breakfast any day it looked delicious. Pigeons are known as flying rat's. This is a nice welcome reprieve from my true crime channel. I enjoyed the sculpture trail it was something different. A good curry is hard to beat. XX ♥️💙
Do you and Carol ever get to tour Buckinghamshire? I believe this is some of filming location for Midsomer Murders. We do enjoy your travel adventures.
A soggy start to that day trip but a lovely walk despite the muck and mud. I appreciate the nature walks. Thank you for a lovely time. How do you clean your boots once back at the van. Do you store them in a bag until you can get them clean so they aren’t put away muddy? Mary
Glad you enjoyed the walk Mary. Re the muddy boots, we brush off as much mud as we can and keep them in the garage area at the back of the van on a plastic box lid. We are thinking of taking a water spray bottle as well so we can spray and wipe with a cloth if needed 🙂
C&k thank you once again for your road trip .not long ago I said that we wanted to retire early and buy our 1st mh.yesterday my beautiful soon to be wife was told she has to have a biopsy as the oncologist thinks she has cancer .our world has crashed before our eyes. But we have to stay positive because we need to make memories together..sorry to put this sad news on your comments please feel free to remove if you wish .love each other to the max and tell each other every day I love you as life is all to short !
Very sorry to hear that news Nidge. We hope the tests prove the doctor is mistaken. Without doubt we all need to make the most of the time we have as nobody knows what lays around the bend. All the very best from us. ❤️
Hi there I have been following you recently and really enjoy your videos. We are newbies and we are picking up lots of hints and tips from you both. One thing I wanted to ask was do you use an app for finding places to park up over night if so which one is it. Thanks for entertaining us😀
Thanks for watching Alexis. We use the Park4night and Pocket Earth apps and check out locations on Google Maps. Streetview in Google Maps is useful for checking entrances to car parks, etc.
I’m planing touring and wild camping in Ca, USA like the two of you. I’m a New-bee. When you have a opportunity could you be more specific a bout the apps you use and the equipment other than my iPhone I’ll need to navigate, places to park-up, shopping etc.
We use Google Maps for finding most things and navigating. Pocket Earth is good for finding toilets and park ups and also Park4Night for park ups. We use an iPad to navigate because we like the bigger screen. Have fun on your travels and stay safe 😀
Oh, my, I know that feeling when the weather is miserable but you've travelled far and need to force yourself into action! Well done Ken and Carol for getting so much content in adverse conditions. What kept you awake more, the rain or the curry? 😉😁👍
Hi Ken, in one of your previous videos...you mentioned you had a parking ticket...have you been caught by hidden cameras in one of your stealth parking spots?
@@LifeistooshortCK I have version 1 and the deadcats are a poor design. It only comes with one transmitter and 1 receiver. I think the new model has 2 transmitters.
I reckon it must be a soothing experience being tucked up cosy and warm in the little red camper when the rain is hammering down outside. Coleford isn't too far away from my home, about an hours drive:)
@@LifeistooshortCK Not yet Ken. I got covid then went down with food poisoning from eating a tin of soup I believe but am getting back on my feet slowly
Without a doubt the most pleasant van life UA-cam channel going … Fantastic couple
Thank you for that lovely comment ☺️
You really do give the feeling of the old England I love.... My wife and I are in Spain now..10 yrs I miss rural England xx
Hope we can bring you some happy memories from the UK 🙂
Martin you won’t miss the weather. I miss Spain. Feel like we have been trapped here for two years now.
I understand Carol, I’m from a family that will find the answer.
I love hearing rain as I fall asleep. We have a metal roof so it is louder than a regular roof.
I enjoy your videos so much. I appreciate that there is no bad language and smutty "humour" is an instant turn off, and that is exactly what I do. Greetings from South Africa.,
We don’t like that in the videos we like to watch and so we keep it out of ours 😁👍
Of all the music throughout all the videos, the last piece that played on this video was the very "best". I could listen to that at any and all times!!
good evening. Life. Enjoyed.you made useful masterpiece,
Thanks for the video, note; I believe the term 'lucked out' (Coleford market) means to have good luck, not bad 😉
Never knew that 👍
That’s right. Means you got lucky.
Oh I love the rain on a tent and a van so soothing and cosy
You don't own it. But you humbly share it with us. You love it and appreciate it and gently show us its beauty , you are gentle wonderfully kind people. I am lucky to have found you both. Thank you xx
Thank you Willie, that is such a lovely comment and much appreciated ❤️
Carol is such an angel...cos if you had woken me at 5:30am to film...I wouldn't be smiling! Ha! Ha! Love your vlogs..keep sharing😊
Thanks Karen. I think the rain had already woken her up by then 😂
I don’t mind pigeons..apart from them being rather greedy at the bird table..they share it with pheasants and array of other birds..they are protected birds now..we get quite a few where we live on several acres as a back gardens.
The death cap toadstool so pretty to look at ...not to fry up tho.
It’s nice to get out and have a nice walk around .
I enjoy your narration..
Pigeons are the bullies of the bird table. Sometimes the smaller birds don’t get a look in 🙂
Loved the video! Ken is the best voice artist the in the business...educational & humorous always 💚
Thank you for that lovely comment, it means a lot coming from you 😀👍
Hi ken n carol just bk after two major heart attaxks missedye both
Sorry to hear about your health issues Matt. Hope you are on the road to recovery. Wishing you all the best, take care ❤️
Thanks for taking us along on your trip again, the breakfast looked really good. We know that Ken has many names for Carol, but does Carol have any for Ken, or are they not mentionable on video! 😂
That is hilarious 🤣❤️
Thanks Matt. I wouldn’t want to embarrass Ken by revealing his nicknames on camera 😂
Have also wondered this ! 🤣
Always wonder why you call Carol Charlie Brown? 🤔😂
@@claire-janehawkins5883 I think it is from the Peanuts cartoons.
I'm sorry to hear about you illness bless you
I’m so happy to join you vicariously. Your editing and filming are spot on.
"Charlie Brown is navigating. Not always a good thing" LOL. Whenever we are in the van and its pouring with rain, I also say: "Glad we're not in a tent".
We say that as well. We even say it as we are getting into our bed at home at night. lol..
My family began our camping life in tents. Even after my parents graduated to a 32ft Holiday Rambler for retirement, during heavy rains someone would quip, 'don't touch the sides'! Lol
Could be worse…
How many stalls = a market 🤪 lol I agree re research Ken - Jane is the fact guru. Loved the metal sculpture looked so real. Jane said there is no such thing as a nice beetle she hates them. Great video guys
Thanks Stew & Jane. Must say that beetle didn’t look like it was moving so quite safe 🪲😂
Hi Ken and Carol all ways nice to see were have been nice video as all way's take care see you both next time .
Thanks for watching Robert 🙂👍
I do enjoy your travels. You are relaxing to watch. Thank you.
Thanks for watching 🙂
Lovely video as always from the pair of you - poor Carol and the stone piles disease 😉. The sculptures were really interesting thanks for taking us along a treasure hunt. You are relaxing to watch - we also feel you deserve an award for dealing with the crazy weather too. Xxx

Thank you so much Sheila, that is such a lovely comment. We appreciate you watching all our videos and hope we can keep you entertained long into the future 😀
I agree too!! ☺
Thank you. Your adventures are such fun for us living in colder climes right now. Relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
That looked like quite an obstacle course to get back to the van. I’m like Carol with the research thing, always checking things out! Thanks for another great video 😊
Thanks Sue. It was a bit tough taking the shortcut back maybe we should have stuck to the path 😆
Interesting sculptures on that walk, but we were also a bit baffled by the rock and funnel ??????
We didn’t have a clue either and had to look it up. Apparently the rock, taken from a local quarry and carrying the marks of trees from 300 million years ago, symbolises the carboniferous forests that make up the geological formation known as the Coal Measures.

Your rain camping videos are some of my favorites. I love being in my rv when it rains.
Thanks Anthony 🙂
Thanks for the video. Brought back happy memories. I used to live in Coleford. Now in Western Australia converting an ex school bus to go camping.
Glad you enjoyed it Clive. Good luck with your bus conversion 😀
So, enjoy watching your videos. Have to be careful not to be late for work. LOL 🤣
Thank you some new places for us to visit in the Forest of Dean
You’re welcome ☺️

Thanks Tina. We must have been tired to sleep in that late. Good job we weren’t in a stealth parking area 😁
Another great video. It was a shame about the rain but you still got out and about. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure.
Thanks Sylvia, you’re welcome ☺️

Hello Ken / Carol That was a very pleasant walk even if it was not the best of days weather wise to bad you did not see any wildlife I have heard from friends that the forrest is getting over run with wild boar . Have a great weekend take care .
Hi Shaun. Several people have mentioned the wild boar but we didn’t see any while we were there. Have a good weekend 🙂
Oh, your Indian food looked delicious.
- I'm salivating.
Agree! I am always amazed at how much you two eat in a day! Love Indian food. ❤
The mushroom at 11:45 is an amanita muscaria (aka "fly agaric"). Not poisonous, but if eaten would likely produce hallucinogenic intoxication. In any case, they are a very interesting looking when spotted on a trail.
thats what I thought, thx.
Thanks for the info 🙂👍

Thanks for watching Sally 🙂

Cheers Dave 🙂👍
Great video, love the forest.
Looks like you had a nice time. Another good place to visit in that area is king Arthur's cave. it's a nice short walk to.
Didn’t know about King Arthur‘s cave. Thanks for the tip 🙂👍
Another great episode of your travels despite the changeable weather looking forward to the next episode....
Nice woodland walk after such a lousy start to the day👍 If you were at home, that's just the sort of day you'd stay inside and not bother. When you're in the van you tend to take advantage of those little improvements and breaks in the weather👍😁
Too true Des 🙂👍
Enjoying this very much. I love a nice walk but my goodness it is very muddy in places x
Thanks Clare 🙂
The sculptures were certainly interesting.
Very nice, beautiful harbor at the end of the video
Thanks Marie 🙂
Great vlog again guys, thanks for taking us with you. That rain reminds us of our time at Christmas! Just know you wanted to splash in those puddles too, well done for resisting. We love walking in woods too and add a sculpture or two and it's a win, win. 👍😀
Thanks for watching ❤️
I really enjoyed watching your upload!
Thank you 🙏
We have Beaver in our back pond...you can have them any time🇨🇦
Would love to see them in the wild 🙂
Thanks for the vid. Just dont get your pile cream mixed up with Deap Heat... :o
Just the thought makes my eyes water 😁👍
Absolutely love your videos - thank you for sharing.

Well worth a visit 🙂

Loved your walks in the forest, thank you!
Thank you Michele 🙂
Great Trip 😁
Thanks Karen 🙂
Enjoyed you video as usual, don't mind a bit if rain now and again. Been raining for the last 3 days over here in NSW Australia 🌏 🌏
I liked the Echo. I wonder if it was a 3D printed mould and then poured metal.
It said on the internet that it was made of fibreglass but it felt icy cold when we touched it.
Hari Om
a wonderful wander in the wilderwoods! I was worried on a couple of spots that there might be a splat.
Slippery business, mud. YAM xx
Glad to say we stayed upright on the slippery walk. All that mud in the camper would be difficult to deal with 😅
That was good thanks will you go back in better weather ….I thought that first sculpture looked really dangerous especially with it being at the bottom of a slope where kids might run down and not be able to stop shame you didn’t see them all x
I’m sure we will go back one day. It would be good to walk the sculpture trail when it is drier underfoot 🙂
@@LifeistooshortCK look forward to it
Been there many a time as I said my cousin lives there
You can get noise dampeners for your roof
Tell us more 👍
I loved this video , you do such. Good job of explaining the realities
Lovely video as usual. What’s the music playing right at the end when you are in the van, please?
Thank you. That is Emmanuel by Ben Winwood.

We use Google Maps for finding most things and navigating. Pocket Earth is good for finding toilets and park ups and also Park4Night for park ups. We use an iPad to navigate because we like the bigger screen. Have fun on your travels and stay safe 😀
Oh, my, I know that feeling when the weather is miserable but you've travelled far and need to force yourself into action! Well done Ken and Carol for getting so much content in adverse conditions. What kept you awake more, the rain or the curry? 😉😁👍
Definitely the rain ☔️ I think our stomachs are well acclimatised to curry now because of the amount we eat 😂
Very soggy! I love fungi and stacked rocks. Is “Charlie Brown” Carol’s nickname?
Yes, one of many 😁
@@LifeistooshortCK love it 😍
Hi Ken, in one of your previous videos...you mentioned you had a parking ticket...have you been caught by hidden cameras in one of your stealth parking spots?
No we have never had a parking fine. I think I was just referring to the ticket you have to display when parking ☺️
The forest of dean’ isn’t the same since the people from out side came to live there
That’s a shame.
Another great video. What Rode Wireless Go models do you use?
Model 2. Better connection and the wind deadcats never fall off like version 1
@@LifeistooshortCK I have version 1 and the deadcats are a poor design. It only comes with one transmitter and 1 receiver. I think the new model has 2 transmitters.
Thank you for another interesting (and rather wet) video, you always seem to find really awesome things to show us... Lol.
I absolutely love your travel videos. So calm, beautiful scenery, pleasant company, and great information. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Lynda. Glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching 🙂
I reckon it must be a soothing experience being tucked up cosy and warm in the little red camper when the rain is hammering down outside. Coleford isn't too far away from my home, about an hours drive:)
Hello Sandy. Has the movie making mojo returned yet. I hope so as I am getting withdrawal symptoms 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Not yet Ken. I got covid then went down with food poisoning from eating a tin of soup I believe but am getting back on my feet slowly
Blimey. What a horrible double whammy. Good to hear that you are on the mend. I bet that was horrible. Speedy recovery 👍
