Bad Weather For Heather! Matlock - Matlock Bath & Cromford 2024
In this video we make a return visit to Cromford and Matlock for the first time in 2024. We stay on Matlock Rugby Club with the MCC and on a really hot day (the only one of the year?) we walk into Matlock and then pop into Cromford Mill for a look at the beer festival before the heat makes Heather have a bit of a senior moment and become unwell, retreating back to the van we spend a happy evening just chilling around the van.
Hi We're Rick, Heather & our dog Poppy and we travel the U.K in our S&L Apollo camper van “Athena”
We film the places we visit as our own diary, these videos are meant as a little memento for us but we're happy to share them with you if you want to watch.
We're just an ordinary couple in our 50's filming our adventures with basic equipment so don't expect loads of flash camera action and super editing with great music.
We also film videos of work we have done on our van as well as van reviews for our reference of the next van we might buy. Occasionally there are hints & tips videos too. We do basic site and area reviews including if they’re dog friendly but they’re a guide only based on our opinions which may or may not help you make an informed decision on if you’d like the place.
We do a mix of off grid camping, pub stopovers plus real campsites too, hopefully something for everyone to enjoy!
Please leave us a comment on the videos, we love reading them and reply to each one.
We try to upload once a week so please consider subscribing to see our travels, it’s free and will really help us.
Thanks for watching!

    Hot weather plus (sorry to say) alcohol is a recipe for a drop in blood pressure. Drink plenty of water instead. Not saying it was definitely that, but it affects me. I have high blood pressure but medicated to bring it down to normal, and either a hot day or alcohol make it fall. Both at the same time make it low enough that if i get up quickly I'll be falling down quickly too!

    Just bought a Delta 2, & managed to buy an almost new 220w bifacial solar panel (for just over 1/2 the price of a new one), to hopefully run a small air fryer when off grid ? One thing that I will say is that the 220w panel is very large & the case as a stand is rubbish (will make one out of aluminium for when charging at home). But hey ho, who doesn't like free electricity ?

    • @RickandHeather

    32:49 32:49 1. The 110AmpHr AGM battery in our caravan recharges from the 200W solar panels on the roof by 8am at this time of the year on a sunny day, in North Yorkshire. A little later if not sunny but the panels work in cloudy weather, too. Obviously the sun rises later in the autumn and winter! 2. I was thinking of getting a Delta 2 Max and 400 (?) W solar panel to enable me to use the van more in the late autumn/early Spring periods, and to go 400 miles into the North West Highlands where the daylight is much shorter in winter. Wife shares a house there with her sister and it would be possible to charge up the unit by taking it into the house and atttach it to the 240v sockets inside to charge it fully if we park the van in the grounds. 3. The purpose for the Delta 2 Max would be to extend the season (we are usually without EHU in farmers' fields for THSs or long-weekend meets) but it would be nice to put the central heating on for short periods when it's cold. Obviously we cook on gas or BBQ and the Alde CH in the van also heats the water on gas but we arevusually without EHU. The CH heats the van+water quickly - 10-15 minutes. What other uses - TV on 12v and lighting plus recharging items like phones/shaver/iPad? But the Delta 2 Max would give us a hook up as well as extra 12v battery power, so we COULD put the CH on 240v for short periods, too.

      @RickandHeather that's what matters, just hope it don't let you down when you need it the most. I own 2 Titan low frequency generators, by Point Zero Energy. 20 kw lithium batteries, and 5kw in solar panels. I did a lot of research before buying, and luckily I made great investments. I don't know any other company that makes a low frequency portable generator. But after 5yrs of owning mine I can tell you, 1 Titan can run my whole house minus,stove,dryer,and heat pump. If my stove and dryer were gas, it would run them also, and no not one appliance at a time. I plug into the dryer outlet and power everything

    Looks like my Mi rider on steroids😂. Need to be fairly fit to be lifting that in and out of a car but looks like great fun/scarey!!!

    Very comprehensive review Rick. I appreciate the time & effort you put into film this vlog. Don't be shy to do more reviews. As a motorcyclist, I take it for granted that the front brake will be on the right. We will certainly be looking for a electric bike in the future, for the none rider in the partnership......

      Thanks 🙏 I do try to “earn” the items I review by at least showing as much as I can (even if it’s not technically perfect) anyone can sit in front of a camera and say it’s great but I’m just trying to show the item as much as I can to help people make an informed decision 👍

    Don’t normally bother with reviews like these but yours was definitely worth the watch, thank you 👍🏻

    Really enjoyed watching your Scotland trip. We had 12 nights in Scotland in May and had glorious weather - it definitely makes the holiday more enjoyable and the views more spectacular. Heather how/where do you find all the sites to book? I love that you get out there and make the most of your holiday and thanks for sharing 😊

      Ahh bless you! Yes I understand many people get these and don’t really care about using them, I’m not claiming higher ground but I did try to review it honestly. 🙏
