BLAENAU FFESTINIOG (WALES) WINTER VAN LIFE UK - ALREADY ISSUES with OUR VAN!

Welcome to van life in Wales! In this weeks van life UK travel vlog, we make our way to Wales and are blown away!

We stop at Lake Vyrnwy, cross the beautiful dam and enjoy walking around in the lovely autumn colours before taking an incredible drive north to Lake Bala for an overnight stop..

Then we head for Blaenau Ffestiniog and after some horrendous weather and a few slight issues with our little old van, we make it out to explore with some blue skies and sunshine!

Finally we end this weeks adventure at the amazing Betws-y-Coed.. What a start to our welsh adventure, we’re absolutely loving it here in the UK!

We want to thank everyone so much for watching and for all the recommendations for Wales, we’re still getting through them and taking notes, there’s so much to see in this wonderful little country❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Your sliding windows have actually got drain holes to stop the water building up in the runners.
After a few years they gum up with dirt etc and can becon completely invisible, check for them along the bottom runners with a pointy screwdriver, good luck.

Isn’t earth absolutely stunning?! That drone footage was amazing. I often think, if I were from another planet and then saw earth, I would be shocked by the different terrains and colors.

[scotaland]

Dear nick, the windows! The rubber rail needs cleaned with a knife to open the small drainage holes meant to let the water out, as in normal windows Duhhh

[advanturemagazine]

The drone ahots you guys are getting ... nice work!

[stevehodder]

You two are always so positive. A joy to watch. Top vlog as usual.👍

Too much water? Not good. Ever hear the Aussie saying: 'Drier than a Pommies' towel'? Ha ha. Great drone shots of the valley. Nice to see Nick put his arm around his wife when walking. Well balanced couple. Cheers Uncl Zip.

My home birth I now live in Adelaide Both are beautiful in my lifetime.... so hard to choose...

[ralphsharp]

It really baffles me why someone would put a thumbs down 🤔 if you don’t like it for whatever reason surely you must realise you can’t fault the work these two put into their video’s the stunning content and camera footage especially the drone footage and just keep a dignified silence. Negative people take a look at yourself. Nick and Sarah keep up the good work it’s appreciated and love your boys. I’ve watched all your vids and love them especially the Norway vids xx

[denisechristie]

You two are the most cheerful, positive and happy people on you tube!!! Have a really great time with your families and the fantastic Charlie and Dizzee, thank you for your channel.

[dianaseely]

I had no idea that Wales is so beautiful! Breathtaking. Thank you for doing what you do showing us what a beautiful world we inhabit. Love you guys!

[debmansbridge]

I think you two had forgotten how beautiful the UK is, it is just beyond beautiful 😍

[MakeDoAndMend]

Hey guys. Sliding windows. It's normal to have a small amount of water build up in the window slide rails. It is a bad design because the drain holes block up and under high side wind an rain water can blow in. Our van has drain holes on the outside which look like slots. I regular unblock them with end of thin screw driver. They can be easily missed by painting over them or sealing them up by mistake. I can do a video showing these if required. Cheers from old George 🤠🇬🇧👫

[AndySanderson]

Hi guys, come and see Barmouth if you’re still around. You can park on our drive and do some beach and mountain walks. Just get in touch.

[lynda_]

[susanconnell]
