- We headed to the Lake District national park in our VW California T5 campervan for the Lakeland festival of light in Keswick.
Little did we know, a named storm, Kathleen would cancel the event and leave us to hunker down in the van with 70mph winds!
Burns farm campsite was our destination and we timed it perfectly as we got to see a baby highland cow called April, 4 days after her birth. There were also baby lambs in various fields and we weren't too surprised to find we were the only campers in our field, with only 1-2 tents in the neighbouring field. A few motorhomes and caravans in the electric hook up pitches but overall, it was a fairly relaxing trip with a pub tea in Threlkeld for finish saturday off.
Sunday we headed to Derwent water where the storm really showed its strength, rocking boats on the waves, throwing spray across the pathways and soaking visitors but, this area of the UK is always beautiful no matter the weather thanks to the Lakeland fells and surrounding farmland.

We spent the night (Monday) on the North Kent coast we had to park with the van backed into the wind with the pop top down due to the wind being 50mph plus ! By far the windiest night we’ve had in it so far, the van was covered in sand in the morning and blobs of sea foam, loved it though 👍🏻🇬🇧
I don't mind what the weather is doing, the feeling of just sitting there and enjoying it is the best!
That was great, much better to be out there with gorgeous scenery and chips, than trapped indoors, watching rubbish tv 😉 Lovely pics of the animals too and how sweet to have your doggy nestled in between you. (Just a pity it was a 2-2 draw!)
That's a rough looking weekend. Great way to clear the campsite though. So, not all bad!
Seems every trip for you guys at the moment. Better weather for you guys soon hopefully
We feel your pain! We're visiting Shetland in our T6, where it can be quite wet and always windy, but the past few weeks here have been just another level! Still can't beat being away in the van though - whatever the weather - love it! Great video!
New subscriber enjoying videos. just part exed our 7.5m motorhome for a t6 vw that we got Friday wondered if we had done the right thing ..still in the peak disrict loving the freedom we have with the smaller van and so much easier to visit places .😊
New to your channel, brilliant, love Jack, bless him, likes his comfort. We camped in East Dorset and got away with it, kept the roof up. Storm Kathleen was windy, but not as bad and no rain.😄🚐
Your videos are never non eventful! I love the scenes and the sky and the animals. Brilliant! Thank you 💚 Hurry back, please.
Did the same last weekend, got fed up of waiting for better weather to come 😂
I love seeing you do nothing.
How I love you two..you always keep it real. ❤
What a dog , love watching him
Love it! You 2 are hard-core 😊
Really liked this, inspiring and some really nice photos! Thanks!
Brilliant video as always both. That storm kicked our butts!
Can always rely on the Old Keswickian to come to the rescue. We were up on High Raise that weekend, was scary that wind. Nice one moochers!
We were away too at mablethorpe Friday and Saturday, toilet tent lasted till Saturday afternoon then the hoolie came. Battern the hatches down came to mind haha. Laughing at your adventures @roratheexplorer John
It’s been windy on all my hikes over the last 6 month fed up with it, always nice during the week though, hoping you are all well. NC500 for us in a couple of week. Jack looks cool and settled 👌👍
At least the weather has improved unlike Liverpool’s performances on the pitch 😂😉
