Sad times...........I really liked your gritty no nonsense vlogs and entertaining diy upgrades to your van. Good luck in all that you do and don't wait too long to get another video out or indeed get that replacement van.
Thank you for the update. I really enjoyed watching how you improved your van. I got several good ideas, thank you. I loved the way you just gave it a go. Your banter is ok too, so I'll stay subscribed. Good luck in your new ventures.
Sad to see you’ve let your van go I liked your DIY skills but I’m sure we will enjoy your holiday videos just as much because you are a very likable chap
Hi Ian. Very glad to see this vlog. Had missed your videos and we feared that something serious had happened. Totally understand and agree with your decision about the van - right decision for yourselves at this time. Have missed your YT contributions and humour but glad to see you back. Enjoy your holidays, and we look forward to watching more from you - whatever that's going to be. ( Maybe a DIY channel !!?) Pleased to still be able to support you going forward. Take it easy. Cheers. George and Trish 😊
Very sad to see you leaving the van community but, wishing you the very best with your future travels....Look forward to seeing your videos in the future.. Safe travels.. Ray...
Blimey never saw that coming, such a shame, difficult times for all, rising costs etc. We are on our third van, and would be lost without it, best of luck in your future travels
Firstly thanks for sharing your thoughts, tips and experiences in the CV40. As we were late to the Travelling from Scratch vlogs, we only just caught up watching them all. Honestly Ian, we are gutted that you let the CV40 go, but all our circumstances are different. Best of luck with your future ventures and travels. We both love your sence of humour. I've actually mimicked your catch phase at inappropriate times, "Stand by" 😂😂😂
Hey Ian, great to see you back, I had wondered why you'd gone quiet. Bit of a shock re. the van but everything you've said makes perfect sense. Who knows what the future will bring, a new van, a conversion, whatever you have to do what's right at the time. I'll be sticking around and look forward to seeing where your travels take you. All the best, Sue 😊👍
Good to hear from you again. Glad you are keeping well. Can see where you are coming from, have often thought the same about all that money sitting on drive. But not a fan of flying and being retired felt we needed to do something as money no good in the bank. All the best to you David M
@@TravellingfromScratch yes I can't be doing with all the hassle at the airports etc.Stay safe but have fun,time soon passes as me and the wife are finding since we retired. My advice in hind site retire as soon as viable ALL THE BEST DAVID 👍
Wish you all the best with the next set of adventures and keep entertaining us as it is appreciated. Will miss the mods videos, some I have used, some not but each and every one was definitely worth watching. Looking forwards to the van conversion videos and stay on the right side of your joiner mate.😜
Love your honesty, hope you have an amazing time in Florida and Turkey very exciting . Most people I am sure watched your channel because of you not just because of the van .All the best : )
Good to see you back vlogging Ian you've only got one life so definetly do what makes you happy. Enjoy your travels we'll still subcribe and keep watching, your wit and humour makes really good viewing. :-):-)
The thumbs down will be from jealous people who don’t like that you’ve got something they haven’t, the same mentality that key cars. Usually they can’t be arsed to work for it either. Good luck with the travels.
Lovely to hear your still gonna be making content for the channel Ian, welcome back mate :-) We had a good look around your van at Tyne Valley Motorhome's as Debz wanted to get some measurements for our CV40 which is now coming end of June, from Tyne Valley as well :-) Take care mate and look forward to the non van adventures :-)
That’s such a shame but it was obviously the right thing for you. Your channel is so entertaining you must keep it going and I’ll definitely stay subscribed to see what you’re getting up to. I wouldn’t worry too much about the thumbs down, I think some people that do it don’t even bother to watch the videos! My new van is great and very cosy with three cockapoos in a 5.4m van 😂😂 we’re definitely upgrading when I get used to handling this size van and feel confident to go bigger and we know exactly what we want when the time is right and when new vans are available! Great to see you again. Glad you are OK. Thanks for sharing another entertaining video.
Sorry that you have sold your van, but I look forward to watching your future very entertaining vlogs and you sharing your future travels with us all. Don’t leave it too long before you share your adventures. Thame care and safe travels
Nice to see you Ian, totally understand why sold it. We did the same a couple of years ago with our VW Cali for similar reasons and regretted it ever since, still waiting for our CV but glad your ok. Looking forward to some new content Ian as you bring a smile to my face. Cheers K.
Thanks mate. I'll be lurking around and trying to put out some entertaining videos whenever I can. I had forgotten how to use the editing software in the short time I was away so I need to keep going or it will be hard to get back in to. I definitely see another van in my future. 👍
@@TravellingfromScratch Some lovely comments so far Ian, hopefully they will give you a boost, I had hoped to retire 10 years early this year but your just never quite sure how much cash you need, go now and regret it if struggling in 20 years or stay longer and live for a shorter period not having time to spend the extra. Decisions decisions. Cheers Mate, looking forward to some more content even a review of stuff bought on Amazon will do as a start. K
Great to see you back Ian. We have missed your unique style of presentation. Although it was the fact that it was a van channel that was the reason that I subscribed originally, I love your style and will definitely stay subscribed and look forward to hearing about your travels 'not in a van' + anything else you might get up to! Regarding the idea of converting your own van you would probably be well advised to stay in touch with your friend Dave!!!
Thanks for your support David. It really is appreciated. I feel like an outcast. Kicked out of the CV owners group....for obvious reasons. Good advice about keeping in touch with Dave. He has all the tools. 😉👍
Great to see you again Ian and thanks for the update. We wish you all the best for the future and don't worry we'll be sticking around to see what you get up to & of course for the humour... Take Care Mate & see you soon... Steve and Ang 🚐💨💨💨👍
One of your vlogs was just the tonic we needed today. Thank you for giving us a reason to smile Ian. It’s so good to have you back on UA-cam and we can’t wait to follow your travels with or without a van ❤️
Thanks Beth and I understand. You know how I feel and you know I'm a like minded person. Please stay in touch and thanks for all the support you have given me. I'm here if there's anything you need. X 😘
hello Ian, just watched your video and its good to hear your honesty. We ordered a cv40 last year and its already running late for build according to our local dealer. Both my wife and me are Libra's and true to form we have been looking at the costs of running the van and it sitting for so many months doing nothing ............................. it aint easy lol. We have both really enjoyed your video's and all the best. Tricia & Sandy cheering you on from Fife
@@sandylaing4654 I know it’s hard times for everyone at the moment. Had to do what was right for me right now. Hope to be back in another van when I retire. Another 3 years. Hopefully the economy will sort itself out by then. 👍🏻
@@TravellingfromScratch thank you. You’re a good egg! 😘 We will stay in touch. Riki had a battered sausage for lunch today and the first person I wanted to tell was you ☺️ It was good to have something to smile about x
Great to see you back Ian. I’ll continue subscribing what ever you broadcast, love your style. Good luck with everything and enjoy what ever you do. Don’t work to hard and don’t bother with the thumb downers. Have fun. John & Michelle.
If you're not getting the use out of the van it makes total sense to sell it, we meet people all the time who boast about having virtually no miles on the clock and I can never get my head around that, a total waste of money as you say just sitting on the drive, anyway I'll stay subscribed for when/if you post again all the best.
Thank you for your honesty Ian and update. I was a bit concerned about you. Totally understand your explanation, it’s the best thing for you at this moment. I look forward to your holidays abroad and will definitely continue to watch as you’re very entertaining 😊
Glad to hear from you Ian, shame that you have sold the van but fully appreciate your reasons. Main thing is you do what you want. Here's to retirement and a van conversion 👍. Take care mate .
Hi Ian. You were going to get back to me about the shower head / hose attachment for the CV40 kitchen tap. Please let me have the Amazon link as I can't find it. Thanks B)
Thanks for all the entertainment Ian, appreciate your explanation for giving up the van. The cost of purchase and upkeep is becoming a concern! I met Rick and Heather at the Peterborough show and asked after you so I had an idea why you were absent. Enjoy your holidays 🙂
Hi Ian, can understand what you say about money on the drive. You made the choice that suits you and that's what matters. I certainly wont stop watching you. Enjoy the holidays
Hey that's fantastic. Thanks for the support. I will try not to disappoint with my future vlogs. I can only do this with the support of my subscribers. I appreciate every one. 👍
Great to hear from you again Ian. It's sad to hear you're now van-less although at least you won't now be headbanging on the headbanger'! Keep up the banter and the craic and maybe we'll get to see all four of your dog's in a future video!
Thanks Paul. I will keep trying to entertain. Thanks for your continued support. The van community is full of unique and friendly people. I'll be back. 👍
Good to hear from you Ian, couldn’t agree more ref the thumbs down and when people stop supporting you- just nice to know what you could do to address it. - looks after yourself, all the best, David 👍
Shouldn’t have said that, Florida Turkey now everyone will be selling their vans the prices will plummet and then we’re all be giving you the thumbs down 👎, great video think your get more popular with your dog walks, don’t forget your old friends, all the best, thanks Pete
Sorry you sold your van but as you said there’s a lot of money sitting on the drive if it’s not been used. Those diy upgrades you did to your van did they effect the sale in anyway as a cv40 owner myself I’ve steered cleared of any diy as one mans meat is another’s poison. All the best look forward to your upcoming vids .
The mods I made to the van didn’t make any difference when I sold it. Most of the mods I did were reversible because as I always knew they wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste. I think you should always just modify your van the way you want it. It’s yours. It’s up to you. 👍🏻
OMG I’m absolutely gutted I can’t believe you’re leaving you say it’s too expensive but you’re going to Florida and Turkey don’t go to Florida in Turkey keep the money and do van life we need more representation from Newcastle Geordie land Sunderland!!!…. OMG, I feel sick
lol, thanks for the support. Too many dogs to travel in the van at the moment and too many work commitments. I'll be back. Probably with a self build DIY disaster. Until then I will still try to make videos for entertainment and just to keep my hand in. Hope you continue to subscribe and support the channel but I fully understand anyone who doesn't. Without the van I'm nobody! 😢👍
Now then Marra. We give you a thumbs down twice on this video since you got rid the bus. Gonna give you a thumbs up for being a canny Marra. Take it easy Ian. 👍👍
I’m giving a thumbs down because you told everyone I won the lottery. You didn’t complain when I paid for you to go to Florida and Turkey. Only kidding I didn’t win the lottery 👎👎👎 Hopefully still see you when we come to Northumberland. Room on your drive for an overnight?
Sad times...........I really liked your gritty no nonsense vlogs and entertaining diy upgrades to your van. Good luck in all that you do and don't wait too long to get another video out or indeed get that replacement van.
Thanks mate. I’m working towards another van. Hopefully be back soon. 👍🏻
Thank you for the update.
I really enjoyed watching how you improved your van. I got several good ideas, thank you. I loved the way you just gave it a go. Your banter is ok too, so I'll stay subscribed. Good luck in your new ventures.
Thanks Jeremy. I will try to make some interesting vlogs for the channel and keep it going until I get another van. 👍🏻
All the best Ian we will stay subscribed and watch the new direction tour channel takes. 😊
Thanks Lindsay. I understand if anyone stops watching but it’s really nice that people have stayed to see what happens next. 👍🏻
Welcome back Ian,looking forward to your holiday blogs.
Cheers Bob. 👍🏻

Know exactly what you mean. I’m not a fan of flying either. It’s Julie that makes me go. I would be happier in a camper in the uk to be honest.
@@TravellingfromScratch yes I can't be doing with all the hassle at the airports etc.Stay safe but have fun,time soon passes as me and the wife are finding since we retired. My advice in hind site retire as soon as viable
