THE WORST WEATHER FOR STEALTH CAMPING IN A TINY VAN
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 12. 2022
- This week I head down to Penzance in some of the worst weather I’ve ever camped in. All so I can get up early and go for a bike ride along the promenade, it was a terrible idea.

Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos about CORNWALL and Falmouth I sometimes visit St Ives Cornwall and Padstow Cornwall too. Come here for everything from travel recommendations to beach reviews such as Perranporth Beach Cornwall. I also LOVE EXPLORING Cornwall’s coast line and the South West Coastal Path. Thank you for watching and commenting and liking the video.

Here’s the link to the petition
facebook.com/groups/MutualAidPenzance/permalink/1177713989823633/
Never been in Penzance, but signed the petition and donated to share the petition. Ludicrous that the Council is remotely considering forcing a local eatery out of business to put up a f**king shed.
Thank you for doing that mate it means a lot 👍
Happy to have signed it! It looks like their numbers weren’t too far off a few hours ago. I hope they go way over their target number and I pray this petition works in their favor! ❤️🙏🏻
Of course I signed, it'd just be bloody rude not to! Will also pop along for a meal with the family in the next couple of weeks. Those ribs looked divine!
Signed!
Yikes 😳 I’d have stayed in bed and tested electric blanket run time with battery for scientific research. Cheers Shaun
I probably should have 😂
I love nothing more than lying in my van, as the rain cascades down upon the roof. Great video as always!
Thanks Tim
Great vlog as always. I’ve signed the Meadery petition and wrote in the comments it was thanks to you sharing the link. We’ve enjoyed many meals there and it would be so sad to see it gone.
Thanks for signing
Welcome to Penzance! I can never eat everything on my plate in the Meadery. Portions are mahoosive! Petition signed. Proper job.
Cheers
Must watch later... Looks hilarious!.. From home in my nice warm comfy home.. 😉
As a Cornish exile living in Devon, how great to see my home town of PZ in your vlog this week ❤. I visit often as all my family are still there. The Waterside is an institution and must be saved! Been going there all my life and I’m now 60! Already signed the petition. Excellent food great atmosphere and Mead to drink! What’s not to love! So nice to see van life in local areas so familiar to me. Thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video Julie 😊
as much as penzance gets a bad rap i do love it there
Yea it’s a shame it gets a bad rep but I actually quite like it
I just noticed your jacket, Mountain Warehouse - I popped into their store on Wednesday and bought myself a down jacket from there in the sale. I could feel every angonizing push when you were on that bike, striding to get back to the van, it looked absolutely horrendous conditions to cycle in, as well as walk no doubt - not keen on this time of year, definitely a Spring and Summer type of person for sure. Really enjoyed watching tonight.
Glad you enjoyed the video Chris
love your "piss off" bat that you keep next to the back doors 😆
👍😂
Love this video . We're missing our little holiday home in Gulval near Sainsbury's just up the road and watching these videos has just done the trick. Didn't manage to get down for Xmas as usual from Yorkshire hopefully down in April for some paddle boarding in marizion. We've spent many a great evening in the meadery usually can't walk with the amount of food we eat. Spent 27 wonderful yrs wondering around the places your camping at its great seeing them all . Great watching you converting your new van as I can't make my mind up what to do with the T5 I currently use as a work van and travel to pz. All the best Yorkshire mark 👍
Signed the partition, they’re getting close to the target number of signatures. Big push now 👊
Thanks for signing Darren
Clever editing @ 1.09, 👏.
I'll get that petition signed 👍🏻
Glad someone noticed 😂
Impressed your bike was still there.
I'm sat at home watching this on the sofa on an electric blanket. We got it for our dog to help with his arthritis, but I sit on there with him it's so good 😃
They are game changers
Hey Shawn looked liked you could of fed 2 with that plate looked good It’s funny because watching you eat. I had just ordered ribs and chicken. Lol it’s nice to see that you’ve gotten electric blanket but usually the blanket goes on top of you. That’s where mine goes but that can work too. The scenery was beautiful as usual. Too bad it was storming. It was kind of funny seeing you biking. In such windy weather love your vlogs till next week stay safe say hi to the Mrs. and don’t forget to rub that tummy and say hi to your little baby from us in Montreal Jacky from Montreal
Thanks Jacky glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the tips on the blanket 😊
What..no swim Shaun 😋...wow...what a day for a bike ride 🚵. Real shame about that eatery..hope they get enough support 🙏✊🎄
Thanks Sally 😊
Credit to you that you carried on filming in that. We appreciate your commitment.
Thank you
Oh dear Shaun what was you thinking 😂😂😂 I will be signing the petition 👍
Thanks for signing Ann
Love the fact you're showing the van life without the blue skys and sun sets and getting out in the fine english wather mate.
Cheers Scott
Oh wow!!! Well this episode had unexpected twists and turns! Lol I just got my first electric blanket and the first night I slept on top of it, but it gets REALLY cold in my house in the winter. So I have found it holds the heat in better from the top, but there is no wrong way. Lol I was so glad you told us about the Facebook page. I was going to ask about a online petition. And lastly, wow, watching you ride back to the van was PAINFUL! Lol I’ve been on a motorcycle in a slight hail/rain storm. It felt like tiny little knives piercing my skin! Bless your heart! 🫶🏼 Have a great everyone!
Thanks Krissy 😊 great advice
I remember having a electric blanket as a kid, even saw on the gadget show the other week sleeping bags that have a keep warm thing in them
That would be amazing I’ll look them up
My in-laws are very close to Penzance and I went down the front in a storm about 10 years ago and the waves were come ing up over the lamppost! Love Penzance! Well done for riding out the storm! 😂
Thank you
Thanks for the mention mate! Just catching up on this now
No worries mate. The blacker worked well probably not as good as the Duvinator though 😂
Penzance is a windy town. That weather was awful. I have eaten at that meadery & have signed the petition. Good luck to them. Glad you got the electric blanket. Some are meant for under use & others for over. Always follow instructions for safety. Bet you were so glad to get home!
Thanks for signing Helen. I’ll have to have a look at the instructions for the blanket
Awesome place that you visited Hon
But PLEASE be safe as well, you had a few
dodgy moments there
All the best from Australia
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thanks for watching Janice. Ps I live australia I spent a year there back in 2012 in a camper
Id have needed another cuppa after getting back from that bike ride in that wind & rain before setting off Shaun. Well done for keeping filming through it.
At this point I just wanted to get home and have a hot shower 😂
hahaha... love the optimism... best line: "sitting in a van drinking a non alcoholic beer in the rain, you know you've made it." that was hilarious, man... this was a funny episode, Shaun... lol Hope you guys get the signatures to save the local spot...
OMG! I ran past in the blue top at 5;55mins. That ride!!! Things you will do for content. Love it. 👍
Are you sure? 😂 I’ve still got the full footage I’ll have to check later 😂
@@LoveSundays well it could have been 20 years ago! 😛
😂 thanks you’ve just saved me 30 minutes of looking through that clip 😆
@@LoveSundays Actually you were only a minute or two away I could have come and tucked you in. LOL!
With the electric blanket, its better to sleep under than on top, due to the wires inside getting damaged. Apart from that they are an amazing purchase 👍 (Its probably ok that your sleeping on top of it so if you prefer sleeping on it id just not worry about it)
The eblanket (or heat mat to be exact) I use is designed to sleep on top as instructed in the user guide. It is so thick and hard, nearly impossible to sleep under.
Thanks for both of your tips
@@jim_jim1674 yeah, it depends on the one that your using.
Great video it looked a little windy
Well done 👏
Cheers mate
I’ve signed the petition, hopefully it will help save the place. Another great meadery is over at Newlyn. These businesses need our support more than ever. 👍
Thanks for signing Chris
Living your best life, I love going stealth camping when the weather is crappy..
Cheers 👍
One thing ive learned over the years, even though it doesnt sound as good as sleeping by the sea, its better to drive up a road of houses, there is better shelter from the wind
Signed the petition, fingers crossed it'll stay as I want to try it too👏🤞
Thank you for the support
I was the 6,418th signature 👍 great video as always.
If you're going to wear your down jacket in the rain spray some Fabsil on it to keep it dry.
Thanks for signing and thanks for the advice
it’s been a Shaun sunday for me, Praa sands and just finished off the Chicken Rough at the Waterside Meadery, i’m stuffed, thank you for the recommendations, i’ll be back 👍
Never thought of an electric blanket brilliant idea will have to try it in my van now 👍 also signed and shared the petition
Thanks Philip
Thanks so much Shaun for bringing the Meadery petition to our attention! Penzance and that particular area means a lot to my family..... I've been going there for over 50 years! Would be criminal to knock it down! Have signed the petition and forwarded it to all my family!
Thanks for signing the petition Louise 😊
Louise.. I went to primary school with a Kay Southgate Are you related? Just curious...
@@eugenemorice8545 Hi no sorry, ha it was worth asking though! 😊
When I had my small van, I used to pad lock my bike to the tow bar. 👍
That’s a good idea
Just discovered your channel! Love it! That food you got at the Pub looked great.
Welcome to the channel
Signed the petition and chipped in to spread the word.
You legend Colin
Ideas about the bike. Take the wheels out, remove pedals (very easy with a spanner), maybe remove saddle with stem. The forks can then be rotated so that the handlebars are parallel to the frame. This minimises the amount of space that it consumes and helps with more efficient storing. Taking this approach you may even find a roof box that it could fit in. A garage on the roof.
Good advice thanks
Or just pop the wheels off and lay it over the front seats with a sheet under and over it. Am about to start a camper conversion with a bike garage but I am a mtb rider so they are probs too £££ to leave in the open.
As for the, making the bed in a small van, problem, I bought a double sleeping bag. Loads of room and no bottom sheet to faf about with. Just unroll it and get in.
Yea I might have to start doing that for winter as it’s getting colder
@@LoveSundays saves your seat covers without the pain of a fitted sheets 👍🏻
Cool post👍, very enjoyable, shame that the council want to knock down such a nice place that seems to be doing ok and people like it , 🧐🤝
I know it’s madness isn’t it
Great video again. I lived in Cornwall for a year and while I was down there I ate in the Waterside Meadery alot and it was both inexpensive and nice food. I have signed the petitiion and shared it on Facebook.
Thanks for signing and sharing Matt
Look on the bright side,, you worked all those calories off from the meal the night before !!!!!
Great video 👍🏴
Yes that’s why there was no way I wasn’t going to ride my bike 😂 whatever the weather
The roof deck would be a good place for the bike overnight. Getting it up and down from there is another matter though! Fun video.
Yea that’s what I thought too maybe next time
Great video, your van is well cosy even with the lovely weather. Brave man riding the bike ! 👍😎
Cheers mate
Living the dream in this video pal 😂
Cheers Adam
Cracking video again shaun, and you couldn’t have chose a worse day to ride your bike. That restaurant looks amazing I must go 😂😂hopefully people will sign the petition and stop the demolition. We are currently just under 7000 now.
Nice meeting you on this wet day Jon. I let a slight clip in the video with you in it too
@@LoveSundays yes I saw me and Jason the delivery driver outside and you can just start seeing me put my hand up to stop you 😁 it was nice to meet you to mate just a shame it was such a wet and windy day. Next time I’ll give you a proper tour off the whole restaurant and bar and balcony 👍
Ansom bit of weather there Shaun but thanks for all the effort and time you put in to making these videos for our entertainment. The meadery brought back happy memories of eating chicken and chips without cutlery. Have signed the petition hope they win the fight.
Thanks for signing Nigel
As always another good vlog! Keep them coming!
Thanks Alan
Very enjoyable Shaun . After a days work was good to watch your vlog and chill
Didn’t follow your non alcoholic drink idea though 👍
Van broke down today so it’s in the garage now and I’m on the strong beer 😂
Brilliant vid dude. 🤙
Thanks Jake
Hello from Australia love your vlogs well done good work…
Thanks Andrew happy new year
Well deserved thumbs up from us dude you worked ya butt off on that bike 🚲
Thanks Jilly 😊 let me know when you and stevie are back in kernow and we’ll meet up for a coffee or something
@@LoveSundays we will have a lovely crimbo & see you in January 👍👍
great vlog
Awesome vid as per normal.... be heading down to your neck of the woods in January in my van, also signed petition, currently upto 6000 signatures,
Thanks for the support Ian
I would have stayed in bed with that weather outside. Its a Shane about the pub, I'm afraid there's too much corruption going on in councils and when they want to do something they ignore petitions. I'll sign it and share on Facebook for you. I hope they win. Great video again.
Thanks for the support 😊
Opps.. don't know who Shane is 😆. But you know what I mean.
Thumbs up, another great video. Hoping to stay in your neck of the woods in the spring, I shall be using your vlogs as a guide. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Bob
Cheers Shaun love your Sunday adventures mate. I’ve signed the petition mate all the way from Australia. Never been there but I’d like to have dinner there one day. Have to support local businesses everywhere.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Phil mate appreciate you signing the petition 👍
No problems mate keep up the great work
Shaun, I still think your the Bear Grylls of the Stealth Camper van scene , My hats off to you mate , I wouldn't do it , Nor could I lol..And by the way , we're I live , that lock would have been there , Minus the Bike lol .
Bear Grylls lol I’m not that extreme 😂
Shaun , you are mate , belive me, the majority of us couldn't do it , or would Do .lol ..Great vid by the way ...keep em coming mate , Vans finnished , Waiting for Spring to come , It can't Come fast Enough for me , take care .
Ribs looked good in that pub 👍 at least you didn't get blown off the bike. Another great video. Electric blanket good idea! Was usage low??
On this occasion there was still juice left in the battery when used on and off throughout the night. I’ve used it since on medium heat all night and the battery was dead by morning
Well, another great video but other than the lovely food, it didn't look very enjoyable for you!
I once went to Cornwall in April.....never again, it was a week of wet and very cold weather, Marizion wasn't at it's best at all and it nearly blew me away down at Gunwalloe! Love Cornwall but I think it's always going to be end of may in the future especially for the national trust properties as well.
Yea the weather down here can be very hit or miss sadly
Lol great video is so hard making good content that others want to watch i know how hard it can be, great effort i felt for you when you where trying to get back and you kept filming lol, respect. The electric blanket is a great idea but you did not say how much power is was using. And the battery sate IN THE MORNING. see you on the next one stay safe. Michael notts. 👍
The battery lasted well throughout the night with the blanket on the mud setting it draws about 28volts. But last night I had it on high all night long and the battery was flat by the morning.
Well done on filming whilst riding with one hand bud..that’s commitment… could you mount a bike rack on one of the back doors?
Petition signed… 👍👍👍
Thanks for signing Scott
@@LoveSundays no worries we go camping at St.Just every summer for a fortnight and it’s like a second home to us…and I hope Kate is well with the bump 👍👍🍼🍼
I was parked in that carpark the other week and the waves were crashing over into it! It was crazy but I love penzance just wish I lived closer so I could camp in my van there too lol
Good spot isn’t it
@@LoveSundays yes we normally stay at Mousehole but we love it around here
Great video i watch your videos every week .
Thank you Simon
Should have asked for a Takeaway Bag for the rest of food 😉😁x
I drive down that rd one day and was totally covered with a big wave so not a good place to park up !!!
Could it be time for a bigger van Shaun? Still loving the channel, keep up the good work! And credit to you for getting out that cozy bed!
I might just be but I’ll probably have to wait a little while before I do
At least your living...better than living in a static house/flat...in the same place year in year out!!
If you want an already warm bedding to sleep in, preheat the blanket for an hour or two.
Good advice
Ooh my gosh I’ve just come back from Penzance xx
Hopefully the weather was better for you
It was lovely we were in Cornwall for 3 weeks
Another good video ⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Jimmy
looked wild mate food looked amazing
Yea the food was amazing John
it very cool see you wear converse
That’s all I where when it comes to trainers/sneakers! I have them I all different colours and styles 😂
New to your channel and as a Cornish person living in NZ I am loving your beach stops x a friend of mine tells me you can get electric fluffy blankets that go on top ( a throw) and are really cheap to run - maybe easier than the under blankets and warmer too I imagine x
Welcome to the channel. Where about a in NZ are you I’ve been there twice now I love it
@@LoveSundays I live on Waiheke Island out in the bay from Auckland x a very special place but I still miss Cornwall and regularly debate whether I should come home to the Roseland Peninsula x
I have the ability to do this as I have the camper/power products/accessories. My main concern is the expense of doing it and the desolation.
My house is rented and full of sellable goodies.
It would probably be a couple of years until my savings run out im dangerously close to doing it.
Just do it when you can it doesn’t have to be permanent
Hey Shaun, thanks for this video, I spent a lot time in Penzance as a child and have family in the area that I have not seen for many years and miss dearly. I'd love to see more content made in and around Penzance, Mousehole and Newlyn! Very sad to hear about the Waterside meadery, a family favourite growing up was the Newlyn meadery so when I saw you were going to frequent a meadery I let out a cheer!
Glad you enjoyed it Oliver
Jeeezzzzzz - and whyyyyy - bicycle in weather like this 🤣🤣🥶🥶🥶 Sometimes it is better to stay indoors 😂 Have signed the petition! Good suggestion.
I still haven’t warmed up Torunn 😂
@@LoveSundays wrap yourself in the electric blanket 😂
😂
Think I would of just turned round and saved it for another day lol. The meal looked lovely. I’ll be signing the petition :)
Thanks for signing Sarah 😊
Signed the petition. No problem parking on the prom but you could get covered in waves and seaweed at high tide as it comes right over the wall 😮
Thanks for signing Hazel
Electric blanket is a cost efficient life saver.
Facebook link nowhere to be seen to find the petition you referred to by the way.

I’m not convinced if my next purchase should be an umbrella or a caravan in Spain. Brrr, that looked cold and miserable.
It wasn’t the most pleasant day I’ve had in Penzance 😂
Love the 🦇
😂
Your muddy bike. ☺️. You could get a bike stand and fix it to the side or behind your van and save some space inside. Get a cover for your bike if you want to protect it from the elements.
If i known you was in penzance I would of poped by to say hello to you mate 😎😎other wise a great video of penzance 🙏🙏
Keep your eyes peeled I could pop up anywhere 😂
@@LoveSundays eyes peeled then 😂😂i was surprised u didn't go into frazers fish & chip shop as well
Signed, Local family run pubs are in serious decline, we don't want any more chains like wetherspoons.
All singed up. Looks like you took a hammering in that weather. Hope the missus and bump are doing well. Have you done anything in North Devon
Thanks for signing Adam. I used to visit Braunton and Croyd a lot many year ago but don’t get up that way much these days
That puny bike lock offers little protection against theft. Even an entry level bike thief would find it an easy steal!
Yea I was lucky it was still there in the morning
Hi ,from Alabama!
Hi Chris
Great vlog as always. Did you have the electric blanket on all night and how much did it deplete your Ecoflow?
I had it on intermittently throughout the night and I had about 10% left in the morning. However since this I have had it on all night and the battery has been flat by morning
Just a thought..... stick the bike on the roof. you could lock it to the wooden slats for security.
Yea that was my original plan just as it was pretty windy didn’t want the wind taking it 😂
I prefer the cold trips more cosy and sleep so well, summer is just not right for me ,.
I'm singing in the rain
no link for the locals facebook petition
Just posted for you. Newlyn /Penzance man myself so means a lot to save thus iconic restaurant
Love your videos mate but random question where did you get your bobble hat from ? 😂👍🏻👀🔥
It’s from weird fish
@@LoveSundays many thanks for the reply I get searching 👍🏻😎🔥
I like your P..S off baseball bat in your van lol!
