Hats off to you guys for taking on that trek in the rain! Please don't feel deflated about car camping Matti, I know what Steve and Brendan have is fab but that takes nothing away from what you've created. Seeing people like you making these adventures achievable without a van is what encouraged us to fit out our own. You may not feel it whilst you're fighting to set up your bed in the dark but you are inspiring people with that little Astra of yours!
Car camping for the win! I love camping in mine. Advantage you have over the vans is access to more and sometimes better sleeping spots. Height barriers dont matter lmao! One of my fave spots in Ireland is only accessible by a small- medium sized vehicle and it is absolutely stunning. Never feel like you are missing out
Great video mate! What an achievement at the end completing that walk 👍 i felt the same as you buddy, absolutely cream crackered! Your day will come with a van mate, dont you worry 👍. I remember the same feeling while car camping. Dont give up 🙂 your doing great!
I love an old railway line, they make perfect running routes, did one when we went to Glossop 🎉 The question you need to ask yourself is are you car camping for the sake of UA-cam videos or are you car camping as you enjoy it? If you don’t enjoy car camping, then I think that’s yours answer - sorry for the brutal answer, but no point encouraging you to do something you don’t actually enjoy. Problem with a getting a van in real non UA-cam terms is the expense ££ I mean yes you can do a van build series bla bla bla but the absolutely beauty of car camping is using what you’ve already got and that it doesn’t cost anything 😊 I mean clearly I’m biased in that respect, but it’s soo true, car campers car camp as they use what they’ve got and make do the best they can 🚗❤️
Matti - I won't give away the next video but you bounced back and smashed it again - I love how you edited this video, So many funny moments between me and you that I had forgotten about! I loved it, So much so I've watched it twice, and like I said in the video smash that sub button you deserve it!
You were around my way in Stoke Matti! Those beach caves were used for raves not so long ago, that's why theres all that graffiti! 😂 and I've never been to that Whitley place either and I live in the area being in Stoke 😅 also, don't chuck in the towel on the car camping! I know it's a tight space and not the best in a hatchback but you've made it work the best you can! I know you'd like a van really and that's what I was like, finally picked one up last weekend to convert so just keep aiming towards getting one in the future ☺ You can do it!
Hey Matti, great vid as always love the look of that Monsal trail..... 6 bloody hours tho! Take my hat off to you guys, so informative and the drone shots were great, thanks again for all you do ❤x
@mattisadventures Sorry I did comment back to say I'd sent you an Instagram msg but it seems to have disappeared 🤣 I bet you was tired.... that's a hell of a walk 🚶♂️ 😳 x
Another great video, Matti. That trail looked immense and it's one I'd love to try out myself someday! I kinda get how you feel with what you said about chucking in the towel, but most of us start with cars and upgrade to Vans, (I'll be car camping soon, promise). Even Brendan started with a car at first and look at him now. I reckon if you stick at it, that'll be you in the very near future. Even if you do chuck it in, I'll be 100% behind you as you're still making great videos car camping or not. :)
Hi Matti. Do you remember me (Denise) and Liz from the Shrewsbury Vanlife Festival. We have met up again at Stratford Racecourse. Liz is still car camping and I'm still in my micro Doblo. I hope you are still car camping. Will we see another vlog before the weather turns. I think I've got one more weekender on 13th Oct 👍
Keep going, it has been awesome watching your progress, videos have got better and your confidence is growing. You might over take Brandon at this rate.

Your a awesome friend Steve was a great video for sure
Thanks, Steve! Here's to more videos with you 👍

Thank you for watching 🙏. Without great people like you, Dee, I wouldn't be making these videos. Not gonna lie i was dead after that hike 🤣 x

You can always try a pop up roof tent mate cheaper than a van and kitting it all out great video tho well done for making that trail
I thought about that, but I never fancied it. There will be more coming soon...

@@mattisadventures Cheers, dude. Watch this space :)

😂 I very much doubt I will overtake him, but thank you so much for your support, and im glad you are enjoying the videos 🙏
I know it’s obviously a finance/money issue.. a van would benefit you even just with a blow up mattress in the back..
Finances and finding the right one is the problem... All I can say is I'm not short on designs and ideas moving forward.
