First night solo car camping in the Lake District (Skoda Yeti camper)

Hey guys, I have finally driven North! Join me for the day, I made it to the Lake District where things started out pretty hectic at Windermere but I quickly got out until the peaceful countryside again (just fast forward the beginning if you want!). The scenery of the lakes and mountains absolutely blew me away. I found a fantastic campsite surrounded by hills and explored the local village Chapel Stile, then tried to get set up in the car to sleep. This is the first trip I have made with a fully packed Yeti, and just trying to remember where I had stashed everything was a bit of a challenge! Getting used to doing everything in such a small space must be a learned skill. Apparently driving down motorways for 5 hours also makes me a bit chatty 😅 #lakedistrict #carcamping #skodayeti

Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy it,

A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!

Thanks to everyone who watches likes and subscribes we appreciate your support ❤️

I've only just found this channel. Its so heartwarming.❤ I had a canine companion who supported me after my divorce, and she died 2 years ago 😢 I was devastated and i really went backwards for a while.
Two years on, i have a new travelling companion who loves to look over hedges for cows and rabbits from the passenger seat of my new campervan.
So, the moral is, things will pick up.
Thanks for doing this channel. It is calming.

I just ran across your videos recently. They are really beautiful and real and comforting. Thankyou.

So glad you made it to the Lake District. You need at least a month travelling around to see the quiet west Lakes and the Northern Fells . I visited in 1999 and I’m still here😂. You could definitely set up your jewellery making here: the towns have a lot of individual craft shops and cooperatives for sellers. And you were right, Miss Nancy would have loved the Lakes ❤ . Come back soon.

Lovely video, it does rain more in the Lake District and there is a reason for it. It’s the mountains! The warm air from the sea rises steeply and quickly up the sides of the hills condensing into rain clouds….. there you go lol 🥰

I was lucky enough to live & work in the Lakes for 10 years so your video really brought back great memories - thanks so much!

So glad you got to see the Lake District, the views are absolutely spectacular and worth every minute of the time spent travelling there. Stay as long as you can, i always found it so relaxing.
Miss Nancy would have definitely loved it.

So glad you escaped to peace and quiet. My partner and I went up in June this year to walk and paddleboard. It was amazing, despite being cold as hell (it's grim up north?). We spent little time in the honeypot towns and it was beautiful. Thanks for another wonderful video :)

The Hardy Boys, I remember the TV series staring Parker Stevens and Shaun Cassidy, they helped Nancy Drew solve mysteries, they had a chevy van with some motorbikes in the back.
Thank you for sharing, that stone work was incredible. 😊

[JamesandRibble]

Love the greyhound pendant. I'll take one when they're in production. Will be a hot seller for sure. BTW you're so unintentionally funny, you have me in stitches looking for things in the camping yeti 😂

How lovely that you made it to the Lakes. I live about 1 hour away so manage to get up there often. If you can continue up the m6 to junct.40 and head into the north Lakes. Equally beautiful with screes, crags and fells. Please come up again but for a week.
Its lovely to see you more upbeat. Nancy will never be far away but the pain will lessen. X
