Should We Bother With Van Life in Wales? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (Vanlife UK)

After prepping our van and finally picking a name, Elton. It’s time to get started on our next van life series! Something we were so sure about has now been playing on our minds… where to go next?
In this video, we’re staying off grid in one of Wales’s most picturesque national parks, Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog), so we can climb up South Wales’s highest peak and catch you all up to speed with what’s coming up next! One thing is for certain: it’ll be an incredible adventure in our van, either way!

That looked like a wonderful hike in a beautiful landscape. Staying in Wales is probably the best idea. We have a joke in the UK that if you don't like the weather, just wait a few hours and it will change completely.

If you’re worried about the camera getting wet, why not invest in a GoPro or Osmo Action as a backup/second cam? They can handle the rain, and the Osmo can even be completely submersed without the need for a clear plastic dice box thing

Personally, I would stay in Wales and make your way up north. The weather is going to improve later this month. !

Its never too early for a coffee, especially if its wet cold and windy out side and you need to move and get going.

If you can, park nose into the wind and you wont shake and rattle so much.

Wales was my home for 10 years....i lived in Cardiff ....missing it dearly. Shout out from Portugal !!

Really enjoyed this video as I live close to Bannau Brycheiniog and vist often in our converted ambulance what a beautiful country we have. Glad you're sticking around the summer will visit us soon I'm sure.

That shot from the top almost had me in tears, my Wales is so beautiful 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Please stay and show some more of my gorgeous country. Diolch 😀

Hi Adriana and Dylan, If you do decide to go to Europe... just an idea about the ferry... you should check out the ferry port at NEWHAVEN (near Brighton) and get the ferry to DIEPPE. The company IS DFDS and its dead easy to book online. I use them at least once a year (with car) and pay around 50.00 gbp each way. The crossing takes 4 hours. Newhaven port is never really that busy and they are so friendly. Once in Dieppe you have easy access to all the motorways to get to anywhere. Happy and safe travels wherever you go.. Gareth ❤

I'm glad you're staying in Wales it's such a beautiful place, and I look forward to seeing Wales from your perspective
Thanks for the video

Don't forget we have beautiful waterfalls and mountains at the head of the Rhondda Valleys in Treherbert.

Oh, rain. Rain, rain, rain.... we always feel the same. Really just puts a damper on the whole destination when it's constantly raining. Glad you decided on sticking in Wales; I think Europe would be too hot.

Look at those two cuties at the top of the ridge 🤗 15:15 : it's truly a beautiful scenery! Keep going you guys: the trick is to remember that nothing is permanent, including cold/windy days and your decision to explore more of this objectively beautiful Country - The sun is closer than you think! ☀🤗
PS: physical activity DOES help to clear the mind! ;)

You two are so fun to see your brains working overtime-what do you bottom line FEEL about it?!? My favorite actress is from there too, Katherine Zeta Jones🌟😎i love listening to your language. I also love Swedish! Could you both say ‘till we meet again’ when signing off in your language for me? I might cry 😝. Wales is so beautiful rain or shine. May your travels be sunnier🌞🌞🌞🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[TheBubblewrapboy]

Just up the road from me, done that hike many a time, that was my cycle ride every Sunday morning from Pontypridd, up to the storey arms where you stopped, have a bacon roll and hot chocolate and back home 🤣🤣hopefully avoiding rain 🤣🤣🤣keep it up guys 👍

[donnamaree]

Good idea to stick it out, what l have seen from other van lifers on youtube, its a beautiful place, and plus l get to see Wales too, seeing l am so so far away in Australia xx
Great vlog guys xx

[sabinasdp]

I 100% agree: you’re in beautiful Wales now, weather will surely be better (and most likely worse in autumn!) and I’m SO much looking forward to seeing more of Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ! It’s like the old saying sates: “solvitur ambulando” !😉

[arthurkettle]

Beautiful shots at the end there 👍 British summer has been shocking this year...a few weeks of sun in May and June and then what's felt like permanent rain since...still bucketing it down now on the 5th of August!... Had van trips planned for Shropshire, Wales and Northumberland....all put on hold until the weather picks up in late August and September (🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞) ... definitely stay in Wales btw...you can always head south in winter 👍😎

[jocky]

We had a similar experience. It was raining so we decided to just go for a drive .We headed west. After a half hour the rain had stopped, and the sun came out. When we arrived at Loch Lomond it was a beautiful sunny day and we had a wonderful walk.
Didn't even check the forecast. It came out alright.
The photography is stunning in you video, and this is a most beautiful place dear to my heart, after two overnight wildcamps.
Keep up the good work, and to hell with the weather, just live your life to the full every day, this is your big chance!

[memetastic]

You guys should meet up with Ame in a Van! She's doing European vanlife

[jstraveldiaries]

Omg, Adriana, I'm the same..rain affects me sooo much 😅😜 I just need sunshine and then I'm always happy 😬😁
