Thanks for joining us......In this episode, we wild camp our way around Norfolk, Suffolk and Lincolnshire in our converted Sprinter Campervan and locate some epic off grid spots to share with you guys!
Watch as we have a VERY near miss with a VERY low bridge en-route to enjoy our first night fire of the year and sleep on Snettisham Beach.

As the weather turns, take a rainy van day in total isolation, miles from anyone in Lincolnshire.
Head back to Norfolk for a magical walk through Holkam Forest, huge sand dunes and stunning beach.

Choose another beach park up in Suffolk and stumble across the ruins of an old Friary in Dunwich.

I only found your Channel last night. We have an A class motorhome that is now getting on for 21 years young. Some of the places that you have parked up for the night look really appealing as My wife is worried about parking up in certain places and I have found if there is a donation box it turns my Wife into a Happy Camper. I used to go to Holkham a lot as a young man as I used to live in the Middle of Norfolk. I am now only 7 miles away form the Coast. I have never been into Holkham Estate, to see the House or much of the Grounds, only there Walled Garden about 6 to 7 years ago for there Food and Drink Event.

We LOVE Norfolk, especially Holkham but it’s not an easy area to wild camp (at least, not near Holkham beach). Also got a soft spot for an older camper or MH. I’d like to think we’ll stick with our own van forever & one day it’ll be seen as stylish vintage. 🤭 Great to have you onboard guys 🫶🙌

Love your Van life content and the energy you both have, you’re awesome! 💞 some little tips if you want to get more views on your channel...Don’t use red or white text on thumbnail because your video thumbnail won’t stand out. Instead use bright green, blue, orange or green text/backgrounds on your thumbnails to get more clicks. Use custom thumbnails, keep videos to under 15 mins if possible and use less than 50 characters in your video title 🙂 Enjoy your travels! I hope your channel continues to grow and I look forward to more content. 🙌🏼

Thats also a no overnight camping carpark 🙈 Watched your NC500 vids as we're heading up there on the 23rd April for 2wks. Nice van too fella 👌

Hey Ross, I’m thinking you’re referring to Snettisham Beach. There’s a handful of spaces on the edge of the beach beyond the main car park 🙌

@carlbebbington730 2 жыл бұрын

Enjoying your travels, beautiful shots on the beach at Holkham. We love Norfolk too. Can we ask where you got your lovely black kitchen tap from, and is the black staying on? Thanks

@OurVanTales 2 жыл бұрын

I’ll try & remember & get back to you but the black stays on (just a little grazed where it clips in & out of its clasp) Leave it with me 👌

@carlbebbington730 2 жыл бұрын

If you can’t remember where you got it if you know the make I will be able to find one. PS I really love your van conversion, the white cabinets with the black ceiling works so well. We have a modern Airstream which has a great interior. But not a good kitchen tap hence my question.

@OurVanTales 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Carl, we had our conversion carried out by Trekk Vans so I’ve left a message for Jamie there, to see if he remembers….There were thousands of decisions at the time & I just hope he remembers better than us 🤪 The ceiling is actually dark stained wood planks applied to a black background & makes a great contrast to the lightness of the rest of the interior 👊🏼

sup peoples. There are gps apps out there that advise the height of bridges en route. i am a ops controller in Derby who looks after a fleet of drivers who deliver Rolls Royce engines. They are top boys, with many years experience, so if they can recommend an app for you, pls let me know.. Love the van, and love the layout. if i got a van, it would be like yours minus the surfboards but with added EMTBs. much love. new sub from me
