- Before we started researching the UK, we honestly had no idea Wales even existed, let alone knew it was THIS beautiful! We are able to drive through Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, stay in Royal Victoria Park in Bath, and find an absolute BANGER campsite in the mountains. Wales is pretty awesome 🥹

Cold showers are like a cold plunge, right? Could you shower with cold water in the cold? 🥶
"We've come across a bunch of water "
LOVE IT. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha we couldn’t see how deep it was until those bikes went over it and made us look silly🥲😂
Should put a stock cube in there as well,with half a pint of water and put it on a slow heat.And garlic ,if youve got it.

Bannau Brycheiniog is: BAN-eye bruk-EYE-nee-og.
Great vlog!
Thank you!!
And welcome to our little island 🤣🤣☂️☂️
Haha thank you!!! ☔️
@@kyleandmadie glad i came across your channel 👍👍
We are too!!! 😁❤️❤️
@@kyleandmadie 😁😁😁😁❤️
welcome to wales
thank you so much! Any recommendations on where to go next time? :)
@@kyleandmadie lots of places around mid and north wales mach loop too see the planes flying low can find parkups round there there is parking in fairbourne then over to barmouth and follow the cost round past harlech castle etc and head to aberdaron etc then back along the top coast or over to anglsey youll be ok in your van too roads a bit narrow in places but ive done most places over the years in a chevy motorhome got an econoline now im fixing so do a good bit with us cars etc but just find some park ups easy enuff or shell island campsite is ok but not used it in a long time
@@kyleandmadie soz ment to say snowdown area can get busy but again your not too far from places over there an hour will get you there from the coastal areas and theres old burial chambers and castles etc all over
I'm glad you're back on the road after your adventures.
Thank you!!! We are excited to explore the UK and head into Europe :)
September is the best month to visit the British Isles and Eire. The weather is better and Cricket is over and the Footie Season is in full flight. You could be a Gooner, a Manc, a Scouser or a Geordie but Saturdays are for pints in the local boozer and football on the telly!!!
We LOVE the pub culture here! Thanks for the info 😁❤️
We love your vlog, keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you so much 😁 so happy to have you come along with us!
The van conversion looks great. Hope the old girl is running great for you two. Good luck with your trip and Good Bless you both.
Thanks so much!!! It sure was a lot of work but we really do love it. Now if she only got a little better gas mileage i think we’d be set 🤣
@kyleandmadie Hi, it's Brad, I am the one who sold it to you. I haven't watched the build videos, how has it been mechanically speaking?
Oh hi!!!! All seems good so far mechanically (knock on wood lol). We did replace the serpentine belt and transmission lines before shipping it over to Europe! All seems okay :) hope you’re doing well!
We are in Snowdonia in our van at the moment and the weather is only marginally improving 🙈 Wales is reeeeeally beautiful no matter the weather though!
We are glad to hear it has improved at all... It's a little miserable being stuck in the van for a week straight 🤦🏽♀️ you're so right, it's gorgeous no mater what! Hoping for better weather for you as the Summer moves on :)
You missed a trick there - Bath is over 3,000 years old. They also have 2,000 year old Roman ruins and a bath house, as well as being a 'picture perfect' looking city! Such a shame about the rubbish weather??? What time of year was this?
It was the end of July!
@@kyleandmadie .. WOW.. that was cold?! (Havent lived there in the UK for a few years, but my god....That was unfortunate weather!)
Bloody good video. Glad to see Madie has learned how to properly eat a banana
Garry!!! The banana was being cut, there’s a difference 😉
Just when you think uk couldn't be any more authoritarian. Having a older vehicle means paying just to pass thru.
Just another reason i will never go to that country.
to be fair, there are Low Emission Zones in Europe too... but it was very different than what we are use to in the US!
Please do not visit.. I would hate for you to realise that the UK/Europe has more freedoms than you. Enjoy your crippling medical bills, no sick pay, socially restraining amount of vacation, lack of employee rights, appalling education system, school shootings, general violent crime rates and oh yeah.. lack of actual democracy! "Democrats or Republicans.. what no other choice? Ok, well I'll take the turd sandwich please?" Shall we take back the woman's choice to abort.. sure! Screw her! MURRICA
You uneducated brainwashed moron.. LOL
