Hi everyone, I'm Shane aka jungle.
I've bought myself a 2007 Citroen dispatch hi-top which I'm slowly converting to a camper/day van.
Join me as I explore this beautiful country we live in and share my travels with you guys.
I have a map and a set of darts and basically go wherever the dart lands so it's kind of like a magical mystery tour of Britain.
Hope you all come along for the ride and enjoy my uploads, observations and meanderings.
Thanks for watching 👍
Check out my other places too please

Into the Devils Arse. The largest cave mouth in Britain
Hi Guys and Gals, welcome back, apologies again for the absence but I am working on being more consistent.
This week I park up in one of my favourite places and take you on a journey deep inside The DEVIL'S ARSE, or Peak Cavern as it's called if you're a bit posher.
Until a recent discovery in France this held the status as the largest cave mouth in Europe, now it is the second at over 300 feet wide with over 23 miles of caves attached to it, a truly stunning place.
Join me as we go deep inside and learn a bit of this epic places history from our enthusiastic tour guide Chris.
I'll also be sampling some local food from the Curry Cabin and seeing if it lives up to it's reputation as the best curry house in the peaks.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to hit the sub and likey crap to keep up with my meanderings ' it's all appreciated.
Stay safe, stay entertained and I'll see you all in the next one hopefully...Adioski.

This week the dart took us to Historic Winkburn, a charming little hamlet nestled in the Nottinghamshire countryside with an impressive looking stately home and an amazing chapel dating back to the crusades. I wasn't expecting much from a hamlet with less then 40 houses but I was more then pleasantly surprised and think it truly is a stunning little find. Also another bonus to this place is a m...

This week following on from Seagrave i stopped at a lovely little place called Gunthorpe which has a magnificent wide birth lock.

This week the dart landed at a place called Kirkby Lonsdale, i wasn't expecting to find anything there if I'm honest ...I was wrong. I found a fantastic medieval bridge with a devilish back story and a beautiful market town. This place is extremely popular with bikers and I can see why. The drive up was beautiful and I even passed the friendliest farm cheese shop I've been to and of course samp...

That's gonna be hot 🥵
It’s been a while…..again ! 😅
I know 😂 I am actually itching to get out and start up again but work isn't allowing it ATM, be out again soon though👍 cheers
Those 10mm nuts without one of those palm rachets or a rachet spanner are murder.
Yeah they are, they're still a pain with the right tool, typical overkill from VW 😂
Why you not putting content out for mate
Hi, thanks for asking, unfortunately due to my work going crazy busy I've not had chance to get out. I am starting to manage my time better now though so hopefully I'll be getting out again soon. At some point I might even manage an upload schedule too lol.
What a shit fight. I have to change my headlights..never will I buy another Volkswagen.
Yeah they definitely went overkill on them front bumpers lol. Typical VW really, the back doors are just as bad if you want to take the number plate light strip off, total over engineering lol
I'm looking to raptor my front and back bumper, are there any issues putting everything back together? any areas you must avoid spraying the raptor to make sure it all goes back together well?
As long as you use the vari gun you shouldn't have any issues. The grills on the front and the rear reflectors may be a little tight. If you use a standard shutz gun that they sell with the kit then you'll struggle as the texture will be thicker, more akin to stone chip.
Great to see you out and about again 😊
Wow talk about overkill I need to do this on my to replace the intercooler, thanks for the vid 👍
Yeah it's crazy how over engineered it is, hope it helps you out, cheers 👍
The garden at Woodlesford Lock is in memory of Gareth Sonny Campbell who died tragically by falling into the lock in 2002.
Was the copper pigment a special one? Ill be painting my van raptor soon and might go copper and black. Any tips? Darker copper? Do you have a colour code?
Hi bud, tbh the copper was some paint I had lying around a work lol. Don't have a colour code for it but if you find a copper colour you like on a car then Marlow paints on eBay will be able to do it for you. I'm actually planning on redoing mine at some point as I want a more burnt copper, seen a couple of cars with the shade I want, just need to phone the main dealer and get the code lol. Tintable raptor is a milky colour so it does slightly altar the original shade but not too much 👍
First off Walsall isnt part of brum lol
As you can tell geography wasn't my strong point at school 🤣
Few mins in and I haven’t seen sienna lol😂😂😂
Sienna looks so funny 😂😂😂😂
I’m friends with your daughter sienna!!!🤣🤣
Good job mate,👍 Glad I watched it, Now I'll need to do it !!!!
Cheers buddy, hope it helps you out 👍
That's definitely not a Banksy.
I think you might be right 🤣 someone would have nicked it by now if it was 🤣🤣
I hear you’re tanning the dogging mate, when we getting a video?
To go dogging I'd have to actually go out 😂 works taken over my life 😭😂 currently editing a video I did in September finally so hopefully out soon 👍
@@JunglesTravels be good to see you out and about again always enjoy your videos. all the best!
Cheers mate, appreciate that,be good to get back out again, when the weather is less Baltic that is lol, lots more trips to come hopefully 😁👍
What would it cost to do this rough raptor on a lwb high top t4
Hi Tom, if you drop me an email to roughtownraptors@gmail.com with a couple of pics of possible then I'd be happy to sort a price out for you, thanks 👍
Not power station its steelworks as defined by blastfurnace now aĺ gone
There’s a free priory at monk Bretton Barnsley
Didn't know that, thanks, I'll try and check it out next time I'm up that way 👍
After the last two storms to hit the uk all them concrete blocks at the break water have been washed away
Really enjoyed this. The museum building is a re-build. The boaters say 'narrowboats' rather than barges, which are wider. Hope you don't mind me saying this. Great video!
Hi, glad you enjoyed it, it's an interesting place for sure. I don't mind you correcting me at all, did actually think that myself when I was editing it lol. Thanks 👍
Hi like your vids,just like to ask how your van is going I’m looking for a dispatch like yours with high roof,are they reliable?🙂
Hi mate, thanks, glad you like the videos. Can't fault the dispatch at all really, very under rated van. Plenty of space and the 6 speed box makes them pretty economical on long runs. There's not many hi top ones around but I wouldn't hesitate in having another, and being dipped they don't rot like some , hope you find one 👍
That’s yogurt sauce Jungle, Get your bhaji dipped init 🤌🏽
Is that what that is 🤣 I usually just sling it, I'll try it next time bud 👍
Very good and helpful video...worked well for me. BTW are these tyres 225/70 R16 on stock suspension?
Cheers buddy, glad you found it helpful. I think they are 16 on stock but I can't be sure and he's sold the van now, they did have 30mm spacers though to bring them flush with the arches.
Get the sun behind the camera!
I do try but sometimes I forget, get lost in the moment lol, this is why I'm a vlogger and not a pro cameraman 😂
I’m pretty sure I was in that place in the late 70s maybe 79.
Quite possibly, it was still in use then, apparently it was a good atmosphere in there back in the day 👍 shame it's in such a state now.
Love seeing you out and about x
Thanks Cat, love getting out and about when I can 😊
I did just come back from that cave it was awesome I was literally came back a couple of hours ago from there 😂😂
I thought it was awesome too, at some point I plan on returning to do the deeper trip into the caves past the slide😁
@@JunglesTravels i could never 😂😂
I'll probably crap myself but I reckon it would be cool 😂
about kin time. you went in the devils arse cave but bailed on the train tunnel lol, its a start. some one else I see has copied the dart idea but their darts actually stick in, keep em coming
They have lights in the cave lol, I would actually like to go back to the cave some time and do the deeper cave experience, that would be cool. Didn't think it would be long before someone else did it, does that make me a trend setter 🤣 cheers.
🙏🙏👍👍another excellent piece of history again Shane atb
Thanks Wayne, Steam trains next time 🚂😁👍
👍👍@@JunglesTravels
Missed ya jungles,are u getting an external mike ? After all the effort u put into a vlog you want it be heard.
Thank you, i have actually got a rode mic for it but I feel like a bit of a t**t when I use it 🤣 I'll have to start using it though as I know what you mean 👍
@JunglesTravels if you can stand with a camera I pretty sure you can stand talking to a mic !!!
Yeah it's just getting used to it, I like the GoPro because they're discreet, the mic just stands out a bit more, I'll get used to it though👍
Brilliant,good to see ya bck out in the van keep it up mate 👍
cheers buddy, was good to get out again, been missing it, more to come 👍
Make ideal lube that oil pal
as long as it wasn't before I ate it 😂
Hello mate... I stumbled across your video whilst searching for Pule Hill on youtube. I now live in Marsden...soblicky to live on the edge of this historic hill. I was very interested to hear that Pule Hill was a hotspot for UFO's in the 90's as I have too aeen a UFO flying over Pule Hill. I saw it back in 2021....and it was only afterwards thay I realised this thing was following exactly along the direction of the tunnel from Diggle into Marsden! (Why? I have no idea) Thanks for a great video. Subscribed.
Hi mate, cheers for the sub,glad you enjoyed the video. You're right, we are lucky having these places on our doorstep and such an abundance of history. It is indeed a bit of a hotspot for UFO's, best place to park is in the middle of old mount road at night, pitch black and spooky as hell but you get some great skies on a clear night. Cheers 👍
@@JunglesTravels brilliant! Thanks for the tip!
Evening Shane Good to see you back fella I cant believe u came down ere to London & didnt give me a shout. I'm about 20 mins away from there on the tube..... It's ok I get the message 😊😊 Look in to the music of Joe Nichols as u like your country.... (used to b country & western but I guess thats not PC now) absolute fantastic artist. Here's hoping to c a lot more of u Shane. ADIOSKI my friend Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Alan L200
Hi Alan, was good to get back out again, has been a while . Didn't realise you were a London boy, I'm sure I'll be down that way again at some point, still got lots of the south to explore 😁 I have heard of Joe, my dad was a massive C&W fan which is probably where my love of country comes from. Was always playing in the house at weekend. Definitely lots more to come bud, you stay safe and lucky too bud 👍😊 Adioski👏
About time 😂 good to see you back on the van channel and looking forward to more 🤔l 👊
Cheers buddy, was good to get out again, just what I needed to get back into it 😁👍
@@JunglesTravels excellent 👍 let's see some more van adventures 👊
I'll be out in the van next time buddy 👍
@@JunglesTravels there all good mate what ya do keep it up regardless 👊
Cheers bud, I'll keep them coming and hopefully a bit more regular now😁
Chasewater was drained a few years ago, they said would take 5 years to refill. Was done in 18 months so much rain.
Got to admit only flown over it, keeps you out of Birmingham controlled airspace.
Wow, that must hold some water if they reckoned 5 years to refill, good old British weather speeding up the process lol.
Aldridge, not really Walsall, no wonder never heard of the transport museum.
Local geography is not my forte as you can tell, I just call it all Birmingham...ish 😂 Good little museum though.
Thanks for the help 😀
You're welcome 👍
Thank you
You're welcome 👍
Remember school trip around 1976 impressive then and still impressive .. nice post
Thanks buddy, it is a cool place, Shame they don't let you go deeper into it. Gonna check the others out at some point 🙂👍
Excellent Shane enjoy your blogs all the best
Cheers buddy, hopefully I'll get some more out soon.
Nice one shane love the van
Thanks, I love the van too, just need to get out in the bloody thing more now 🤣
Excellent post really interesting and informative
Thanks Andy, glad you enjoyed it 👍
One of them things everyone likes but not many have the balls to do it 😂 thinking about the arch and moulding kit getting done in raptor and also the sills on my T6. Is the finish youve done here about as smooth as you can get it?
I reckon as it grows in popularity more people will get it done, they do look good with the moulding on but you need wheel spacers then to bring the wheels flush again. Think we used 25mm on the front and 30 on the back. If you check out the olive green crafter I did that's a bit smoother 👍
