Chester is gorgeous, isnt it? Glad you stopped at Llanfairfechan; my parents had their honeymoon there in the 50s. There's a stunning waterfall nearby which we recorded for a future video which you might enjoy. N&Nx
Yes I think it’s now our second favourite City in the UK after Edinburgh. Although Cardiff is great too so it’s a close call. Aww lovely place for a Honeymoon 😍
Hi guys 👋 we couldn't stop laughing at how quickly you were off budget 😂😂 We did think the campsites sounded really expensive though, but the second breakfasts were definitely pushing you over the line 😂 Fun vlog, thanks for sharing Julia and Gary ❤️
Great video as always. I avoided the M6 toll recently as I found it was only going to save me 4 minutes. Always set my satnav to avoid tolls. We did a 2 week tour in france ast year thoroghly reccomend it. We only used one campsite, a municiple one, cost us 16 euro including all facilities and electric hook up! Found some lovely park-ups!.
I think if it was a bit cheaper I would use it again. The trouble is I am usually in a company car with a fuel card when I go through so never usually take notice of the price but now that I know how much the van costs I will avoid.
I love Llandudno but didn’t realise you can stop over at the cafe. Do you have to prebook? Love the waterfalls you visited. I’ve just totted up our stay in Wales this week. £156 site fees for 7 nights, £150 food inc top up at Aldi shop, fuel £80, coffee & cakes £15. Total £401. We’ve been cycling, paddle boarding, kayaking and open water swimming. We have two days left and plan to spend more time on the SUP, kayaking and swimming as well as walking to a waterfall from our site. We may have more coffee and cake 😂. Thank you for the challenge I’ll see if I can do it again on our next holiday. Take care Gill
Wow that is a great budget. You have done amazing there. We rang the cafe first but it transpires that as long as you arrive before they close at 5 you don’t have to pre book. Thanks for watching 😊
We too are trying to match the Reds and failing (not miserably but happily). We spent the last month in UK, France, Belgium and Spain. £2200 spent. Biggest spend is campsites with only 6 nights out of 31 at free places. Oh and that includes pet passport. So hoping to improve on that this month with more free park ups
Oh dear oh dear, great vlog, but you two are hopeless with a budget! 😂😂 The trip looked fab and that restaurant where the girls got brisket was fab! I think we need to give you some lessons in budgeting before we let you loose in Europe 😂
I blame the price of beer 😂 if there were more Wetherspoons in North Wales we would have been ok. Also if there were more Wetherspoons we wouldn’t have had to take the dogs in and buy them Brisket 😂 thanks for watching 😍
Hey, thanks for watching. We did have a couple of extravagant breakfasts and couple bought meals but we didnt live it up. We are clearly not that great at budgeting 🤣 thanks for watching, hopefully we do better next year in Europe 🤩
Hello both, looks like you had a good week even though you blew your budget. Some great scenery up there in north Wales. Where in Europe do you fancy ?
Yes we loved it in North Wales. Not really thought about where to go in Europe. It will be a maximum of 2 weeks so I don’t think we will be able to go too far. Thanks for watching both 😊
Wow 🤩 you guys are doing Europe next year 🎉🤩 amazing news! You may not want to when you find out our spend 😂 absolutely loved this vlog and so pleased you managed to get a replacement beer glass, legally 😂 fab guys 😍❤️ 😘 xxx
Yes we are going to Europe. I have agreed it but only with one Caveat - I’m only going if someone takes us under their wing. Can you recommend anyone? 😜 xxx

Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed and laughed as we didn’t want to take it to seriously and we enjoy making people laugh 😂

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I genuinely thought the toll was 6 or 7 quid which I would have happily worn but that’s a crazy amount of money 😂
M6 toll really annoys me. We no longer use it but the traffic on the non toll road is horrendous 😮
I think if it was a bit cheaper I would use it again. The trouble is I am usually in a company car with a fuel card when I go through so never usually take notice of the price but now that I know how much the van costs I will avoid.

We always love seeing your Van parked up with a great view 😊
Thank you 🤗

Haha the Reds are very good at the budgeting but hey as long as you are enjoying the travelling 👌 thanks for watching and commenting 🤩

how much for that second brekkie ????? oh well at least we got 3 points COYH
Should have seen how much Clare spent on a second breakfast in Shrewsbury 😂
Also, there are quite a few Hickory's around as it's a chain, not exclusive to Chester. Great food
Yes I know. They told us that in the restaurant. We will hopefully visit another one soon 😊
But you didn't HAVE to use the toll in fairness 😂
No I wish I hadn’t. I’m sure it used to be much less than that and I only realised once we used it. Lesson learned for next time 👍🏻
Now that's the way to go, set a budget and then blast the hell out of it 😂. Destination Europe next year, have a brilliant time ❤
Thank you. We are only going if someone takes us with them though 😂
Gosh thats more than Ireland but parkups are a lot easiers. £500 a week is quite expensive and you are not living it up
Hey, thanks for watching. We did have a couple of extravagant breakfasts and couple bought meals but we didnt live it up. We are clearly not that great at budgeting 🤣 thanks for watching, hopefully we do better next year in Europe 🤩
Another lovely video. Shame about the budget but at least it’s pushed you to do Europe next year 😂
Thank you. Yes exciting times ahead 😍
