Why you uploaded that video twice?
Hey Will, hope you're feeling 100% better now after your illness.
Ideas for where to go camping:
1. Near a beach? Bournemouth/ Brighton/ Weymouth/ Bogor Regis? You could see which beach you prefer in the winter?
2. Camp near some weird museum and visit the museum before / after camping? The pencil museum/ Cuckoo clock museum? true crime museum? Tour round a prison?
3. Camp in a "most haunted area"? There's loads of info online but you could find some info about ghost stories and see if you can see anything supernatural?
4. Camp somewhere near a nature reserve, get some binoculars and see what birds and wildlife you can see? You could even buy proper bird food and see if there are any hungry birds around?
5. Camp near somewhere that is asking for volunteers? Helping a charity dig a garden? Helping a charity do a litter pick? Just do something to give back to the community you're camping near?
Whatever you choose - hope you stay well and enjoy 2023 :-)
Only 3 mins in bro and I have to say.. your stealth camps in the public rather than empty carparks are so much better... not being negative to the other ones as love all your videos.. but thus brings back the galaxy days.. where you did them in the street etc.. buzzing for the rest of the video now haha
Good to see you again Will,stealth camp ideas - Central London, a seaside, or maybe quick Eurostar to France for a stealth camp over there.
nice video, if you want to know how fun is CAMPIN in GERMANY, come visit my channel
I'm a full-time vanner for the last two years, Australia is home, and have just completed a three month trip around the UK. Didn't use any campsites but on occasion used paid carparks, generally using parking apps which are much cheaper than casual parking rates. I did this in a 7 metre van with rental company branding all over it. No-one really bothers as long as you are sensible about it and don't overstay your welcome. I'm tempting fate here, but I have never had a knock on the door.
Sounds awesome. All the best for the future
1 minute into the video and I am already excited! Love the stealth camp videos Will! You are an absolute legend
Northern Ireland, unreal scenery (specially north coast) loads of free parking areas. You're really missing out if you don't come over and see for yourself, 100% guarantee you'll love it.
Best time to visit scandinavia is between june and august. Then you can see the midnight sun as well. Winter time, yes if you like minus 20-35 degrees celcius and snowstorms. These are for special interested hardcores who love to sleep in snow caves and even overnight during winter in an igloo. It can be interesting as well, but for most of us deadly we do feel comfortable in a nice comfy space with a nice camp fire.
Out of all your videos, I liked your van builds and your skiing videos at your mums the most. Obviously, all your videos are good. Just those are my favourites.
Thanks for the support! Glad you like a range!
Stealth Camp ideas :
Car park at a
Police station
A street where there's night clubs on weekends
Cemetery car park
Dab smack in the middle of downtown
Airport car park
There are tons of wonderful places to visit right here in this old UK. How about a week in Wales or Northern Ireland visiting the sights? Better than a car park in Dorking! Make an itinerary, and there's a month's content there from each week on the road. Get your drone up in the Brecon Beacons, the Lake District or on the Pembrokeshire coast. Tell us something about the local sights, history and your personal experience. Oh, and keep the park-ups edgy.
You're a better cook than you realise, and nice tie-ins with companies like HelloFresh make it interesting and profitable. Try a new recipe or two on each trip. Make yourself he go-to guy for decent van life grub.
Hey Will! I love watching your videos & enjoy how honest…real…brave 😮 you are! Keep up the cooking, that’s what I like to see! Great channel & great job!
Saw a stealth van outside the private hospital I was at the other day. He/she failed the stealth mode as I could hear the diesel heater and the blinds and solar panels also gave it away.
I remember the days when petrol was 65p a litre, a pint down the pub was £1. I guess them days won't be coming back 🤣🤣 I miss the 90s
G’day Will, myself and Hayley have a great video/trip idea for you. We were thinking you should go from yours near Redhill to Beaulieu Motor Museum for a stealth park up, visit Bucklers Hard for a SUP spot and spot of lunch. The next day head to Lymington to catch a ferry to the Isle Of Wight. There’s so much to do and see there for the adventure type. Loads of walks and watersports, a garlic factory and much more 🤘🏻
Thanks Richard and Hayley
Drone shots were well done at the start! 👍
Future you is considering (at the end of 2023) buying another camper van. When you do so, I think you should reflect on how well you designed 'Mary'. She is wonderfully thought out. Bravo.
Hi Will, after watching this latest stealth camp video and you asking for other places to camp can I suggest Portsdown Hill Viewpoint in Portsmouth. I am from Portsmouth myself and I just think it would make a wicked video as the scenery up there overlooking Portsmouth is amazing plus you would be able to get some epic drone footage as well. If you time it right with the weather as well the sunsets are pretty special too. Hopefully this idea helps. Would love to see you set up camp up on this hill. All the best.
Love the content mate, Iv watched this twice now haha!
keep up the good work pal and all the best for 2023!
Hi Will, good to see you again, that car next to you when you first there was a spanner, he was parked right on the line, it’s lucky for you that you are slim, the travel lodge is cheap, when I broke down in Wales last year, I had nowhere to sleep, so I booked a Priemier Inn
loving all content u post
So glad i watched this video, i'm at a Wedding near this location in April. I was looking at staying at the Travelodge (dorking) or an independent. Having seen this video i'm booking the independent hotel!
Great video will!
Near the Royalty Inn on Otley Chevin in West Yorkshire ( overlooking Leeds Bradford Airport). Or at the Cow and Calf overlooking Ilkley, about 10 miles from there.
Done travelodge car parks many times, Premier In is generally the one you have to register your vehicle, and if you’re brazen enough, just go in tell them you forgot to do it when you checked in 😏
Enjoy Will's video. Keep them coming!
Dorking Travelodge is only 13 minutes from My home in Ashtead Village.
I say My home, but I haven’t lived there since 1967.
But even though I’m in South Australia I still consider Ashtead Village to be My hometown.
Hi Will.
I've parked in premier inn carparks before In my work van, but I went onto your parking space website and paid £3 for the night, and enjoyed being off the road and in an area that has cctv. I doubt that was what the parking space website was intended for, but that's how I used it. I still kept myself stealthy though as I didn't want to attract attention to my use of the premier inns car park.
nice video, if you want to know how fun is CAMPIN in GERMANY, come visit my channel :)
I’m in the process of looking for a motor home. Thanks for the great idea. All the best
I stayed at that Travelodge years ago.
Premier Inn is the UKs biggest Hotel Chains in the country they make the most money and have the most Hotels. however Travelodge is just as popular and that's why people think Travelodge is bigger but i would say its like the second biggest in the UK based on how many Hotels it has and how much money it brings in per a year.
You should stealth camp at the breakwater in Holyhead isle of anglesey great views of the irish sea and Holyhead mountain and also views of the port of Holyhead as well the UK's second biggest roro port.
Stealth camping on best kids destinations
Van slippers. Nice detail 😁
Another great video mate.
Have a few spots around the oxted area you could try… nothing incredible but some woodland car parks a bit in the middle of no where and some quiet car parks at woodland viewpoints
Your drone editing is on point! Idea: Do a disco on wheels theme night, where ye play loads of bangers outside some random hotel.
Thank you for great content; it helps with my depression 😊
Another great video Will, thank you for sharing, all the very best to you, from Nick in Wolsingham.
Smashing it Will as ever! Keep going lad, good to see you out there and van doing well in this cold. Have you been wales coast? Give that a go
Happy groundhog day!
I thought I had entered the matrix, dèjà vu. 😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah. I put it up on the wrong day! 🙈
Petrol in co durham is £1.36 per litre will
His van is diesel ⛽️
Excellent!
Love this video ❤
Would love to see you try to stealth camp near Edinburgh castle. Maybe go see the city, visit the Royal Mile or Leith walk. Tour a few pubs and stuff
Will I was literally annoyed once I clicked at video that day and it was removed 😂.. Dhanyabad 👍 for uploading it again.. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 but now in Northwest England 🏴
Yeah. I put it up on the wrong day! 🙈
Will, you need to visit Scandinavia. We have the "freedom of roam law". Meaning the free right to camp, make a fire, pluck berries, mushrooms, etc. Sleep over anywhere outside rural areas for free. In the mountains camp as long as you want. Only law, keep the place as clean as you had it when you came there.
How about Lindisfarne - Holy Island in Northumberland. Apparently if the tide comes in your stuck on the island overnight!! Great history with The 1st Viking invasion etc...I'm a drone pilot too. You'll get some great shots there!
Would be nice to have a van meet up..Im in north London ..But I love Epsom downs where theres a great space for parking with great views and a few pubs also.
Great stuff Will
Yay, it's back!
Enjoyed it! How about stealth camping at the central London like Mayfair? That would be fun!
The day I passed my test I put in three gallons and had enough change to buy half a pint out of one pound - and yes I am THAT old!
Nice one Will, loved how you gave that driver who couldn't decide what bay to park in a beep...😂😂😂Totally unaware 🤠👏🏻👏🏻😂
How about some nordic adventures? Test out Mary and your mums slippers in some colder climbs?
Love the content will 😍✌🏻
New (ish!) sub here Will, loving your work! I'm working my way through your back catalogue, but I'd love to see you go international and do some stealth camps outside of the UK. Keep up the wicked content man.
He has! To Austria. Keep watching!!
nice video, if you want to know how fun is CAMPIN in GERMANY, come visit my channel
The roads over there aren't the only bad ones. We had an article freeze here in the United States in Nebraska that's where I'm from. And it practically turned our roads here into Swiss cheese. There absolutely horrible right now. And they will never really fully get repaired.
Awww Dorking Travelodge, used to stay there when that was still a Little Chef next door …
Very enjoyable
I'm off to Cheddar gorge in my self build. Looks like it's straight out of a Top Gear road trip.
So I booked a premier inn and it cost me £120 for one night, and you had to get the App on your phone to book it in. Travel lodge for me next time or hopefully use my van. Loved the Video Will. See you soon. My IPad sent the last comment of to quick, so sorry about that. All the best xxxx
Rock climbing with ed and the teammmmm!!! At Active outdoor pursuit, and would like to see how you manage camping with a tarp in Scotland recommend aqua quest tarp and round topped hiking poles, tarp origami and what you think would be the best tarp set up, will’s wild camping!!!!!! series in Scotland!!!!
Also you could go on walks with Freddie he knows a lot of really cool places for amazing walks with amazing views
The carpark at Birkenhead/Liverpool docks would be a good one then jump on the ferry over to Northern Ireland for a wee explore 👌🏻👌🏻
Great vlog will,would like to see how easy it is to stealth central London.would be cool
Love your videos and your awesome and looking forward to next video
Try and find stealth camping on the south coast. Everywhere seems to be no overnight. Trying to find a good view to wake up to. Not a travel lodge lol. The cooking is a good idea.
TravelDodge... love it! 🤣 Have you thought about doing a stealth camp along the Thames again, like you did in the Galaxy? Steve Wallis recently did a stealth camp at a small Ferry port, so that could be worth a punt? Or even maybe stealth camp at a local football stadium car park? Good luck either way! Clearly the warm weather I've been sending over to you from Melbourne, still hasn't made it there yet, sorry Will! 😂
How about Southend-on-Sea? You can walk the pier and go to Adventure Island. Plenty of interesting video there....
That's just on the way into Dorking! There's a few great spot's there for stealth camping!
loving the video's. keep it going. take care .
I loved your van build videos , I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much . All your videos are funny tho lol . I think you should try going round all these park for night places instead of tescos lol , think it would be good to see someone trying them out ,
Cant wait to get my little camper in a few weeks and do exactly the same with my dog. Enjoy
Hospital parking lot stealther sounds fun
Travelodge is the best one.
Great video, if your looking for somewhere local to this video to do a stealth camp then the cop of Boxhill would be an intresting place with amazing views. Your Leith Hill video was great, you must have balls of steel to camp there as I have done night mountain biking there and it was a bit creepy.
Come stay down at the beach front Bognor Regis do a bit of fishing catch and cook. Or hayling island. Bee good to see
Will go round doing a A-Z in the country doesn’t matter where but one place starting with the first letter of the alphabet or iconic places with the start of the letter ie I live up in the north east and for W you could come up to Whitby
Daddyhole plain in Torquay might be a good place to try.
wow...talk about living on the edge....you're such a creative dude Will.
We have watch channel from day dot! We would love to see you do sleeper train’s in the UK! You can do from London to Scotland or London to Cornwall! People will love it!!
The overnight places I allways like are the ones in the country side or on Industrial area's
Would love to see you up north!! ideally newcastle!!
There a place in pontefract park you can stay it free for all night and all the time it good I might be far for you but it good there a couple shop outside the park for food like MacDonald and home bag ins
How about the Forest of Dean, some lovely spots.
gas in Winnipeg Manitoba in 157.9 it was .79 at one point today date is June 20 2023 5:33pm central standard time
Not sure exactly where but the white cliffs of Dover would be a great watch. The drone will get some unreal shots as well 👌🏼
Great video as always. Would love to see a stealth camp at an airport!
nice video, if you want to know how fun is CAMPIN in GERMANY, come visit my channel
YESSS! Guaranteed fine though
Will try by the beach
Gas OMG Krazy,,And with no real reason why,,I remember way back in the 70s when it was 55 cents a gallon and smokes were the same price!lol
How about a stealth camp in pluckly , kents haunted village
Maybe invite neil.& emma as well. Just in case you get scared lol.
OMG! I hate peas! 🤣 another fantastic video Will!
Does your drone have lights on it? Flying a drone at night sure gives a different perspective of the area. One good thing about those yellow slippers is you will be easily found if you get lost. Will look around in the UK for other places for you to park overnight. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Looks like there are plenty of castles around you, if you’re brave enough to stay overnight. Or you could always take us on a stealth camp in Jane Austen’s footsteps, that would be worth watching
Stealth camp suggestions; outside an open prison, or normal prison. On the army ranges of Dartmoor. Windsor Castle.
Try coming to Devon loads of places to stay
Hey wills l am one of your UA-cam followers from hull in Yorkshire what about taking off in your converted campervan to Newport Wales beech and car park right on the sea front all you would need is some roof racks and a canoe and ors then you cod enjoy your self
Premier Inn definitely bigger of the 2, it has about 850 hotels compared to about 600 travelodge
Making me feel old 😅 I remember petrol being 82p a litre! Ahh memories 😂
It cost loads to stay at a Travellodge here in Canada, try maybe 200 hundred a night. Why don't u start staying at some places like the train station parking lots, Justpark Westminster Car Park, British Parkway Awards parking lot, Titan Car Parking, Cop Station ( someone's driveway lol) there is loads, anyway thanks for the adventure!!
Thanks for the recs!
That looks like fun, wish I could join you 🤣
nice one Will, no drama in this one for a change : )
A nice chilled out steath camp with some great drone footage.
When are you going to introduce us to your Lady friend?
All the best.
He didn’t even run out of gas😂
In time!
@@briantheminer 😂👍
Or his editing skills are getting better & he cut that bit out 🤣
Sorry Will 😇
Park up at a airfield maybe Biggin Hill ?
Good video that pal 👍
Please tour over the world with ur van.....lots of love from sikkim (India).
