Llyn Peninsula 2021 Vlog 23 Plas yn Rhiw, Aberdaron

3 жыл бұрын

We leave Porth Neigwl and head back to Pwllheli for some supplies. We spot the Urban Eats van in the car park and can’t resist a breakfast before stocking up with food at Lidl.
Then it’s back along the Llyn Peninsula to visit Plas yn Rhiw, a National Trust property.
We eat our evening meal at Aberdaron but are unsure whether to stay the night.

Great filming including drone, & editing. Reminds me of our times in our split window VW kombi in the 70's, never using camp sites. The Aberdaron car park is of course National Trust, free to members otherwise £9 for full day, & doesn't allow overnight camping. I know it well and you'd probably get away with it in the small far overflow area where you were if discreet, and there are ablutions on the left by the entrance.

@kgarnett5292 2 жыл бұрын

Another tip - there are unmarked but totally legitimate public conveniences in Aberdaron at the Gwesty Ty Newydd pub/hotel without having to enter (a deal they struck with the council in exchange for permission for the rear balcony terrace) - door is at the side off the slipway and it's immediately on right.

The so called "infinity pool" is the one that everybody goes too and raves about in Llanberis pass. It was created by the local farmer for some reason (Can't remember why) and has been in the local news paper about the amount of people that visit it. I spotted this too in your vlog, but didn't comment. There's a few youtube videos about it.

Plas in Rhiw used to be described by the NT as a Tudor farmhouse and give an explanation of why Tudor buildings are not Timber framed as in the Southern Counties of England. Of course as in any era buildings are constructed using the materials most readily available in the area. The disabled parking used to be through those two great big rugged " gateposts " and my LWB Transit only fitted through with the wing mirrors retracted. I was fairly used to that, if you get up around Bisley and France Lynch on the Cotswold edge there are a good few places on the roads where you can scrape your mirror housings if you are not paying attention. Very nice to see and hear Carol's contribution in this one, very professional I think. You'll be done out of a job if you're not careful Ken. 🤔😁. The buns looked good too.

Hi Ken and Carol, very enjoyable video. A trolley full of shopping and it all fitted neatly in your van but did you find the Pringles? 😀👍

@LifeistooshortCK 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Martin. Yes, only Carol knows where the Pringles are because she magically puts all the shopping away 😁

Hello Ken and Carol. We really enjoy whatching your travels around the lyn peninsula in North Wales. We adore the area and visit regular. Could I ask please do you have an elsan toilet in your van? And if so where do you empty it on your travels. We plan on having the camper van experience ourselfs sometime. We have a touring caravan. We live in the Peak District, if you haven't visited there you would love it. Kind wishes from Anita and Steve..

Nice video here again. Lovely places you have visited. Mal asks me to see if you live in your van on a full time basis? We liked the music and it fitted the video very nicely. How long have you been married as well ? Just curious. Anyways, all the best from Mal, Dave and Sally the Lab aka The SilvertopMotorhomers x

Hello Ken &Carol, We really like your vlogs and have found them very helpful, your tips and tricks are also very informative and give an insight to van life. What drone are you using for your aerial shots? We ordered a camper from AutoCampers a couple of months ago and can’t wait to hit the road. Who knows we may even pass one another on the road. Thanks again Sarah

@LifeistooshortCK 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Sarah. My drone is a DJI Mavic Mini 2. Bet you can’t wait to get your camper, I know how we felt waiting for ours. Make sure to say hello if you see us out and about. Safe travels 😀

No spare. If I lost it I would have to get another one. I do have another drone but no space to carry it as a spare. 👍

Australia us better to higher a 4x4 landcruiser troopy. Have a look at 4xoverland, sparkys on the loose and trip in a van. For New Zealand is higher a camper van. You can do both Islands.. I love Si Finds, and the northern mudlarkers. On your side, ghost town living, sailing la vagabonds, think about coming over here, long roads, no one around, but helps around and great experience. The aboriginal are great. You will love it. Russell

My tip for tyres, get a battery opperated air compressor, check sparkys on the loose video he did a repair, an lndiflate dual tyre gauge deflater and a tyre repair kit. Just let the drive wheels to 15 psi and you go most places. Do not worry if you get stuck you will get out. People will help. Ps. Love the video's. Very gentle. Russell
