Amazing place! Was staying in Glenridding a couple of weeks ago. You went up a cracking fell for that view I was on the one to the right with Lanty's tarn up top. Love your hiking videos, keep the videos coming, it's ok to take a break as well.

Used to drive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter on a daily basis, first few times it was scary, after a week or two, I was "a bit exceeding speed limits" as I felt amazingly comfortable. It was not a campervan though, just a van to transfer plenty of heavy stuff to different cities, pretty much long days on the road, loved it, kind of miss it! Btw my kitten wakes me up at 4:00 - 4:30 am on a daily basis :P

How did you manage to look like the only person there?! Never seen Ullswater so quiet. Guessing this was earlier in the year, making the water pretty chilly haha😅. Looks awesome, really good drone footage, the views were stunning. The van had everything you'd need, pure luxury! Great video👍🏞🤘

Good to have you back Grace! Random question.. I really wana get into paddleboarding, can you paddleboard anywhere or do you need some sort of permit?

@Will-nn6ux 10 ай бұрын

I don't think natural lakes in national parks usually need a licence, but non-tidal rivers in England often need a licence/registration to use any watercraft. If you become a member of British Canoeing, it includes a waterways licence that covers lots of different rivers and canals. EDIT- Also, many rivers flow over private land and unless there is an established navigation right, you may be considered to be trespassing.

@GracesAdventures 10 ай бұрын

Yes most lakes you can SUP on but a select few you need a permit for. A quick google will tell you if a certain water is 👍🏻 or 👎🏻. Hope you have fun! ☺️

@ewanwillcox8874 10 ай бұрын

Please don't advise people to camp overnight in a layby - it leads to chaos at the busiest times and contributes absolutely nothing to the local economy, which leads to fewer and fewer jobs in the area. There is also a pretty good chance they will be asked to move on during the night. You can pay to park overnight for £10 in the National Trust car parks at Aira Force, or Great Langdale

Your boyfriend has been killing animals on a tv show, is this something you condone?

@GracesAdventures 10 ай бұрын

I mean you’re missing some context there Craig… He’s been surviving in the wilderness and using the means necessary to do so and doing it incredibly well. He’s not killing them for fun. Millions of people hunt and fish all year round and you and I are consumers so clearly we condone it if we eat it. Unless you’re telling me you’re vegan? He even ate the disgusting parts, not a single part of that squirrel went to waste which is far more respectful to the animal than how most are killed and only parts made use of. Great that you’re watching though 🙌🏻

@craigdurst2576 10 ай бұрын

@@GracesAdventures however you want to dress it up, he killed an animal for a game show. What a disgrace! I don’t consume anything animal related, thanks. I stopped watching after that, the pair of you imply you’re some big deal online, when the reality is neither of you have done anything credible.

@GracesAdventures 10 ай бұрын

I don’t imply whatsoever that I’m a big deal online I think you’re the one putting that emphasis on us both yourself. We’re just out here living out best lives ☺️🙌🏻 Thanks for the video watch anyway, few pennies in my adventure fund from the ad revenue 😊 have a good day!
