- Should I let my wife jump into ice cold water ? Our mid Wales adventure continues with a visit to the secret blue lagoon at Abereiddy where people actually jump for fun into icy water that could kill them. We awake from an uncomfortable night experimenting sleeping the other way round with our heads towards the front of the van so watch and see why we won’t be trying that again!
We learn a very important thing to consider before pulling into a lay-by for lunch to avoid a huge fail at our breakfast stop. We show you the beautiful historic Welsh harbour of Porthgain and explore its history of slate, brick making and stone crushing. Watch to the end to see what to do if you meet another vehicle on a narrow road as we nearly get a white paint job.

Apologies as this one went out without me taking out some of the auto generated adds. That has been sorted now. 👍
Yes!! Absolutely love Carol's photography!!!!! Ya need to sell prints!!!
I love your coastal photography & videography.
I know it's 2 years ago. But I'm new to your tube. Just a line to say pictures you take Carol are perfect and so are yours Ken. I love love love your videos I love all your Adventures. You two are Fricken Cool. Keep up the great work❤
The photos are coming back soon. Thanks for the feedback ❤️
Yes, Carol is doing a great job contributing. Love her calm style. Another great, thanks very much. 🧡
Another fun day with carol and Ken. I truly love everything about your videos. Carol you do have an eye for beautiful photos. Take care. Mary
Carols photos are beautiful
i love Carol's solo tours and her history facts...thanks Carol
Thanks Mary ☺️
Great place the Blue Lagoon. Jane practiced her Yoga on top of the cliffs. Warning the blue Lagoon can be full of jellyfish in the summer. We spent many days in that area on our motorhome Adventures. It in our Playlist etc. Cheers from old George and Jane.
🙋♀️ that was our nv200 parked up at the blue lagoon! We were watching your video and our little camper popped up lol 😆 what a small world. Ha ha can't believe that. Great video guys that really put a smile on our faces lol 😆
We wanted to be next to you but bailed because of that big puddle. Glad you saw the clip 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK we parked right over away from the muddy puddle too lol. We had the best trip ever when we went to pembrokeshire.
Carol’s photos are really beautiful. She really has a great eye for photography.
I think so as well 👍
You a.re absolutely right...so relaxing and I am so glad I have found your channel...love from Chile and this elderly citizen
Greetings Jane ❤️
@@LifeistooshortCK 😘
1) Porthgain Harbour looks fascinating. Reminds me of Nyksund and Nykvåg in Vesterålen north Norway. You'll be visiting these places :-)
2) I must comment now on the photograph snap-shots you take : They are always very good and will make memories last. They are quite well done so thank you for sharing.
3) Those white spires would have to be visual aids to the entrance of the harbour. I noticed the coast has many rocky inlets and they all look the same and my educated guess is that the white markers make it easier for the boats to see the entrance in less than ideal weather conditions. Is that what they are ?
4) I must protest. Four quid to park in an abandoned quarry ? That's outrageous. How did the council decide in all honesty to tax people to park in what is a public space ? As a visitor, What do you get for your 4 quid ? They're just down there fleecing people. Or is it that they expect you to pay to watch people jump off a cliff ? I'm not paying 4 quid to be told how to Go Jump.
5) Pork chippolatas with mushroom, potato and beans in Norway is called "Skog Frokost" - Forest Breakfast. Enough energy to cut trees all day.....
1. similar but lower terrain I guess. We hope to go to Norway once governments calm down and stop locking people up.
2. all done on an iphone as well.
3. yes entrance markers
4. I think its private land so they have themselves a nice little earner
5. Skog Frokost the breakfast of champions 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK "Nice little earner" - sounds like our friend Arthur Daley.
Regular Unleaded down to $2.99 per gallon in Maryland. Hoping for dropping more.
Lovely watch brought back memories of when I took my children to the blue lagoon I was a life guard back then and we loved jumping into the lagoon it was alot quieter then
New subscriber here. Love this - found you on Instagram

Another winner - the wee harbour was interesting indeed - though I'm glad you got there before the crowds! YAM xx
Yes we were surprised to see how busy it got in the space of an hour 👍
That harbour with the old brickworks was absolutely gorgeous, and fascinating. I haven't seen it featured in any other videos. I loved how it has slowly been reclaimed by nature. Could easily have spent longer admiring it. I saw Liam doing the jump into the Blue Lagoon, and was really looking forward to watching Carol do it. Shameless clickbait! lol. Excellent filmmaking as always. Those buses had me holding my breath and sucking in my stomachs! 😲🤣
😁👍. Shameless click bait would have been watch Carol jumping into ice cold water with a photoshopped picture of her diving in 😁👍. It’s sad we all have to spend time coming up with the right thumbnails but if people don’t click it nobody sees the effort that has gone into it. 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Sad indeed. But honestly I can't figure out what works or doesn't, regardless of thumbnail, title, or content. My most successful episode has a boring title and thumbnail, and my best work remains unseen by the masses, despite much more enticing thumbnails. Anyway, I hope you know I was only kidding about clickbait. You hardly need it with your stats anyway! 😊😊👍👍
Ahh that was so brilliant! I love the places you visit and the music just makes me laugh! I’d love to see your Route 66 footage if time allows. I was lucky to spend 6 weeks on the road in America going from one side to the other and back again! On the same trip we all jumped into a lagoon from about the same height. Never again so that was a good call Carol! Xx
Yes jumping from height into a pool at our age not a good idea. I may edit the Route 66, big project but time will tell. 😁
Hi am new to your site live in New Zealand, you call it wild camp, here in New Zealand its called Freedom Camping, some places have some basic ammenties, however freedom campers seem to get bad rap, mainly due to the mess they sometimes leave behind. One spot not far from us is popular with surfers as it is on the mouth of a river. The locals usually complain that they cannot park to go dog walking along the beach close at hand as the parking is limited. There is another place very close to us but I would not park there due to boy racers and undesirables who frequent the place after dark, this spot is really nice but parking is limited. Anyway as someone commented your videos are very peaceful and i tend to watch you both before I put the light out. Anyway thanks for your beautiful reports, sadly as we work 7 days a week any of this camping is not on our list as yet, I have a M top Ford Transit that at some stage I will make into a camper, take care
Wild camping is the most used over here but there are campaigns to change it to free camping. I see that as an attempt to stigmatise in the hope of reducing it. We don’t stay where we sleep because it’s free. We stay because it’s more fun than the petty bureaucracy you find on campsites. I used to work 7 days a week so I know what that is like. I hope you can break free of that burden at some point 👍
That’s my daily dose again. Some nuggets in there again, a nice mix of humour, information and great filming. Thank you.
Lovely,!
Love ken sprinkling his fun nuggets
I was like 1000. I enjoyed that more than I should have. Happy Christmas and have a happy and healthy 2022. Thank you both for brightening up 2021
Cheers Willie. Happy Christmas to you as well 😁👍
Some great places there loved the history of the slate / brick / rock making place … love industrial history … places on the ‘to visit’.
Ditto - love industrial history too.😃
Great to see another video from your trip to Wales. Some excellent music to accompany your lovely photography in this video. It’s always a treat when one your videos pops up. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure.
Cheers Sylvia 👍
I enjoyed watching your video, as always, and the views.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS 🎄
CAROL AND KEN ,
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
MUCH APPRECIATED.
CHEERS 🍻 🥂 🍻 🍸🍾🍷❤
Happy Christmas Moira ❤️
Ahoy Pirates! :D This one was so cute, Carol is badass classy as always! :) Ken, you did that funny doggie audio?! XD Too much to handle! XD Would love to jump into that pond! Aye! Keep going, me hearties! yer captain
You are braver than us. There is no way we were going to jump 😳
Love all the sights & sounds 😊
I'm loving your videos. The streets you are driving on seem so so narrow. Do you ever have to be the one who backs up? The meals you ate on this video are like ones that I like to eat. My Mom is not fond at all eating this way when ever;ything is mixed in. I think they are great and when I'm out road tripping I cook that way. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings, Teri
Hi Teri. Yes we do occasionally have to back up on the narrow roads, it depends which one of you is nearest to a passing place. One pan meals are the easiest way to cook in a small van that’s for sure. Safe travels 😀
Thank you both for another great video and Carol’s pictures. I heard about your channel watching “Those Happy Days” and I remember them at that location. I do not know how you manage those narrow little roads!
Our narrow little van is perfect for them but this one was a close shave. 😁👍
Great videos guys, loved seeing those sites from your wonderful perspective. Wales tourist board should be paying you for this trip as its captured so well.
We almost witnessed a fight between two drivers on that tight road on the way out...two drivers unwilling to cooperate, which led to a blocked road for half an hour.
Thanks for the mention, it's a beautiful spot actually made better by people jumping off stuff, makes for great entertainment.
Not sure if you know, but the highest point on the blue lagoon where Carol went walking is where the Red Bull guys jump off (and some to the deaths unfortunately)
Never knew that about the Red Bull divers. We would have missed it had we not seen you go there. It doesn’t surprise me about the fight. Testosterone takes over and the red mist comes down. If I meet an arse I just reverse as I know that arse will be out of my life shortly if I do. I have tussled with lots of arses but then I was being paid to do so 😁👍
That was two great places to visit and we thoroughly enjoyed watching them both, and knowing Carol we did not expect her to take the plunge 🤣😉
Thanks for watching Mike & Trish. Yes there was no way I was jumping in. I wouldn’t even go for a paddle. Best wishes to you both and Kiera, Carol xx
You both are great !
I deliberately leave watching Carol and Ken's videos for a few weeks, so I can have a little marathon on a Saturday afternoon with a cup of tea. Perfect! As always, great videos. Thank you for sharing. 😀
Your both doing a wonderful job. Well done guys.xxx
Thanks so much! 😊
Omg they now charge £4 to park up at the lagoon .....it use to be free, love watching you both happy travels and best wishes for the coming year
Yes, they obviously know they’re onto a winner there! Thanks for watching. Happy Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻🙂
well another great video im loving your channel and you both are so awsome keep them comming
Amazing you've only done 15k miles, feels like you've been all around the world!
It could have been a lot more had some little virus not popped up. 😟👍
Another great episode & I personally think Carol takes good photos i find the more you take the better you get keep up the good work lol 😆
Cheers Lee. You are right, practice helps greatly 👍
I heard the bug is getting bad over there. I hope the two of you stay safe and well. Getting my third jab soon. "Keep Calm and Carry On." That breakfast looked like a stuffer.
Yes the latest variation is everywhere but to be honest I am done with worrying about it. We are jabbed but our politicians delight in telling us the jabs don’t protect us from catching it or passing it on and the answer is to get jabbed. They say it’s to protect our NHS but the vast majority of services available have been denied for the past two years. The best antidote is to turn off the news, opt out of the endless doom laden political announcements and enjoy what life we have left. 🙂👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Yep all doom and gloom. I will turn off news for a few days.
@@LifeistooshortCK well said..that’s brilliant advice Ken. I’ve been doing the same for the past nearly 2 years ..it’s been nothing but propaganda and lies....government wants this to go on forevermore, people must surely start to see that now....?
The small campers are getting more and more popular in Canada for their stealth and milage , it is all you really need ... eh
At first we wondered if we had made a mistake going so small and used to look at bigger vans. Now we realise how lucky we are to be able to sleep almost anywhere. At the moment we have all the room we need. It’s a CAMPER van. People often forget that its really just a super luxury tent on wheels 😁👍
I pick up my first camper at the weekend. So excited for the adventures to come, many plans have been inspired by your travels. Thank you
How exciting. We wish you many safe and happy adventures in your new camper. Have fun 👍🙂
Hello Ken / Carol another very enjoyable video loved the little harbour great drone work love how green the old buildings were I am sure there are many stories to tell from there , do you know what the white pointed towers were for . Thanks again take care .
Nice one you guys. Loving your vlogs. We visited the Blue Lagoon back in September. Couldn't jump in because the seals were breeding. Your right about that road aswell. Its really tight. Had an argument at the bottom of it with someone not willing to help out at all. Just sat in the middle. The coast and lagoon are beautiful but that carpark was horrendous. Potted and risky for your tyres. So people should be aware before taking anything to big down there! 👍
Totally agree its not good for bigger vans and the carpark is a real mess 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK I am a tight and moaning northerner at the best of times, so you can probably imagine I wasn't happy to be paying for the carpark in that state. But as I say the coastline was beautiful to be fair! 😅👍
I always feel very well entertained with your videos, it makes me escape the reality, which is much needed👍 you are a good team😊. Looking forward to your next part, hope all is well with you🙏. Greetings from Frankfurt
Thanks Anita. Best wishes to you 🙂
@@LifeistooshortCK cheers 🥰
Another great video from you folks! This time 26 minutes seemed like only 6 mins and it was very enjoyable, Thanks, folks!
To answer your title question - No. Not unless Carol is dressed properly in a cold water wetsuit, especially for someone of a "certain age" or over, including myself. I didn't know Carol's still shots were inter-spread in this video, they're very good. Perhaps a certain someone should enter her work into the 2022 Portrait of Britain Awards. Again, thanks for this video.
Maybe one day she will give that a try 😁👍
Really like it at Abereiddy when last there, managed to get some nice big chunks of almost square slate, they sure do like charging for parking in Wales. Have you been down to St Davids?
We loved the Pembrokeshire coastline and yes we did make it down to St Davids so keep watching 😊👍
A five in the cold water, like wim hoff😄
No it’s far too cold for a paddle Ken!
Beautiful down at the harbour and what wonderful views too.
Oh my goodness that poor dog good job you were on the ball!
Thank you both for all the lovely videos and great adventures, I seem to have to catch up with quite a few... Wishing you a very Merry Xmas and a great 2022... all the way from Argentina....
Thank you so much Diana. All the best to you in Argentina. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🥳 😀🎄
Hi, I'm new to your channel and loving it.
I've watched a few videos, and wondered when it rains, how do cope in such a small van especially on the days when it just doesn't give up?
Already looking to the next video 😊
This has not really happened to us yet although in the next series it nearly did. We have a plan that we would find a comfortable public library and read books, go swimming in an indoor pool, have coffee in a comfy hotel that sort of stuff.
I could watch this all day, love your vids keep up the good work…
Thanks for not jumping Charlie, my heart wouldn't take it.
I Love your photography! Such a dim & dreary day yet your shots are bright and full of light. The only other things that gives me heart palpitations are those narrow roads. 😱Thanks for the beautiful scenery. ❤️
Thanks Rick, you are very kind. There is no way I was going in that water, let alone jumping in! Thanks for watching, from Carol x
another fab vlog guv
Ken your voice and narration make me feel like a kid again watching bbc documentaries . You're awesome too Carol, you were gonna summit that rock :) .
Good to hear Will 👍
Funny, I was going to comment about the beautiful videography when you brought it up. Of course this is a gorgeous place to photograph, but the composition, the editing and what you choose to show is so lovely and captivating. And relaxing. Just found you two a couple weeks ago and enjoy your videos very much.
Welcome Crystal 🙂👍
Great photos Carol! Beautiful place that blue lagoon. I was waiting to see Ken take the plunge!
Thanks Suzy. That would be a very long wait 😁
That was some view until that low cloud and mist moved in. Really beautiful.
Another fab video, keep it up 👍🏻 When you said Carol she was off to the water tower, I did think she was brave! It’s a steep climb up the cliff but we found coming back down the cliff tougher. Fab photos Carol
I am glad she didn’t find it then. Coming down is always worse
I tend to forget who is filming or taking photos as they are so similar - and brilliant. What was that white obelisk please?
That is good that you can forget. The white obelisks are markers for the entrance to the harbour to help sailors. 👍
Great shots and entertainment as usual guys. As for the cold water. Totally agree about cold water shock. When Bernie got me an above ground unheated pool for the garden, thought I'd better get some training in. So I filled the bath with cold water and got in.. Honestly, I made noises no human should make! 😬
Should have filmed it 😁👍
😂😂😂
@@LifeistooshortCK ha.. Ha.. horror movie, starring Moby Dick springs to mind!! 😬
Really good video guys. When was this filmed?
Ive noticed the quality of your videos has been improving no end over the summer. Very high standard and nicely balanced. Keep up the good work both ✅
Filmed 22nd Sept 2021. I try and make every video better in some way as I learn so much from watching other people and tips videos. I enjoy the process and it makes me more efficient. Thanks for noticing 👍
Lovely video again guys. We really want to visit Porthgain, never quite made it there in the summer. But we did make it to the Blue Lagoon though. Jumping off the top one to the right really got the heart pounding! There was a guided coasteering group there doing it at the time, that helped ease the nerves!
You are braver than us that’s for sure! Porthgain is well worth a visit 👍 Thanks for watching 🙂
Brave… or stupid. The line often blurs 🤣
Hi fyi the birds @ 11.45 are jackdaws.
Thanks for the info 🙂👍
Another great vlog both 😎 Brekkie looked nice Ken and you did the washing up too 👌🏼 x
I am a very good boy 😁👍
Nice video Ken! Thank goodness Carol wasn't allowed in!
The risk was simply too high, who the heck would make my tea 😁👍
Thank you for another lovely episode really pleased I found your channel hope you keep on posting these lovely journeys and stay safe on your travels take care Merry Christmas 🤶love from Louth England
Cheers Paul, Merry Christmas to you. We have no current plans to stop. Wait a minute I sound like a politician with that answer 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Lol I'm pleased to hear that and will let you off just this once 😊😊
No, of course not...it can be deadly, but I think you both have enough intelligence to make that decision...
🙂
Hi Ken Carol great blog but I’m not sure wear this was ,iv lost track a little lol sure was a tight lane,till next time take care keep safe, John 🎅🏻🎉🎄🌹🤷♀️🤷♂️
This is Mid Wales continuing from our last vlog 😁👍
Another great episode from you guys. Time flies when i'm watching them., they're over far too soon.
I'm glad Carol didn't go into the water lol......Personally, i don't see the thrill of jumping into icy cold water, even in my teenage years i couldn't envision myself climbing that cliff and jumping in lol.
As for the video footage and still photos Carol, you keep up the fab work. Rest assured, you capture the scenes, the mood and character of the surroundings perfectly.........so no more confidence issues ok? You're a natural in my book ❤🩹
Also, that breakfast you cooked Ken looked deeeelicious!!!.....see you soon guys xx
Cheers Tom. Carol used to think she couldn’t take a photo to save her life. A little bit of study and practice and everyone can improve 😁👍
You’d never catch me jumping off that cliff. Lol.
Stand at the top and watch others do the leaping Larry, I jumped of course but Carol didn’t catch it on film. 🤥😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK lol.
Another Great video 😊 XX
Love the pictures for sure Carol! Great job. Are you studying to speak French?
Very enjoyable - I’ve started to watch these videos to unwind after a day working at home. Have you ever considered an extractor fan to deal with the condensation? Keep it up, you clearly put a lot of effort into these videos including soundtracks.
We use a mixture of things now to combat condensation. The latest position is summarised in the pinned comment of the first video on bubble wrap. 👍
@Life is too short
Another good episode Ken & Carol. I was asking on the video about showering, Where do you get the flannels? I haven't seen them in years around here. Love the Map insts you used in Newhaven and Brighton in the 2nd part of the storm video.
Yes we hope to do those maps going forward. Link in the description for the cloths 👍
Salutation from Kalkaska michigan I was looking forward to see Carol jumping into water. may be next time. Continue your journey so far so good.
😁👍
Do you two ever get fractious with each other when out on your overnight trips?? When we had a caravan, my husband and I used to always row!! I've got my own little campervan now, so just take off on my own with the dog, leaving himself to his golf!!
Sometimes we do but it’s rare. We know each other’s trigger points and how to avoid them. The most important rule in our van is only one person moves at once. Carol has elbows that can kill 😁👍
Tight squeezes, ah the joys of the campervan. Even worse if you are towing, so that never appealed to me. Great video of the tombstoning. It looked like one of the safer places for them to jump. I wonder how many car parks like that, actually charge and that the money collector is real?. Watched a programme a while back where they were secretly filmed.
I think that beach is private so legit. It would be easy to stand at the entrance selling tickets though 😁👍
Good title I mean common we who truly follow this channel we all know Carol does what Carol wants lol
Aint that right 😁👍
Oh yes. I remember seeing Liam jump off there.:)
Where abouts are you from? Your accent is so lovely! I could listen to you talk for hours.
Born in Lancashire but moved to Sussex at one year old.
Love the vlogs 😁
Good afternoon Carol and Ken.
Hi Larry how is the USA today. Awful tornados recently.
Yeah and fortunately not near us. The damage was devastating.
good vid on you travels ken and caral
Enjoying this ❤
Should you “let” Carol jump into the ice cold water? Should you “LET” Carol? I didn’t realize that Carol had a very unstable cardiac condition that would preclude any consideration of entering into extreme temperatures. I was ‘almost’ engaged to be married to a gentleman who I had dated a couple of years and I thought we were quite compatible. One evening he began a sort of negotiation for a marital union between the two of us without bothering to ask ME if I had any interest in marriage. I hadn’t given it much thought but he was a “catch “ to my friends. I wasn’t quite sure as something was not quite right. He said that he would allow me to continue working after we married. Allow? ALLOW??!!? I figured out, rather quickly, what wasn’t quite right. I showed him the door, politely, but it was done. I seriously dodged a bullet, it turned out later. Allowed! Let!! Yeah, no. You are, quite likely, being silly. However, I can’t just let (LET?!?) that one pass without objection.
Great video but I never figured out how you goofed picking that spot for breakfast. I thought you did a brilliant job! Had you not stopped when you did, your little red camper van could have been dented up and you and Carol injured. I don’t know exactly when the accident happened but YOU might have dodged a bullet that time. You and Carol, both, and I hope no one was injured.
Just so you can rest easy the use of the word LET was to get people to click on the video. Carol gets to do whatever she wants.
As for dodging a bullet I am sure loved ones are watching over us 👍
Paddle board time Ken!! 😱👍
That would be fun but we don’t have the room for one 😁👍
Loved it
Really enjoying the videos thanks. Can you please let me know what phone holder you are using, I couldn't find it on your Amazon page, thanks
What bit of kit are you referring to Rowan ?
@@LifeistooshortCK The holder you use for navigation, looks like it is CD mounted? Thanks
That parking charge was a bit steep - looked like £18
Is that a DAB aerial stuck on your windscreen? If so, is it any good? Did you fit yourselves? Thanks.
Its crap. I wouldn’t touch DAB with a barge pole. Professionally fitted.
There is a way to the tower. Down the chasm and counter clockwise around the rock . up to the tower. Isnt google earth magnificent :D
Yes we are spoilt with Google Earth and maps. I wonder what it’s like to climb back up 😁👍
Don’t be tempted Carol 🥶
Are you living full time in your little red van.xx
No just for trips away.
NO NO NO got it
Carol can go in ken if you try it out first it's only fair..wait until Christmas morning and both go in together. That looked tasty guy's and it tastes even nicer if you don't have to cook it, isn't that right carol 😜 XX ❤️💙
Carol says that every time I cook. I think it’s subliminal messaging and I am being manipulated. Send help 😁👍
@@LifeistooshortCK 😂
Hi Ken and Charlie, I thought you were going to go swimming ! Can you overnight on the car park at Aberiddy ?
I don’t know if you can to be honest. There was no barrier.
@@LifeistooshortCK cheers, I will visit in the new year and report back 😁
Does no one ever widen these roads? My Lord, the UK is a first world country!
They were better during the Roman invasion 🙂👍
Maybe let Charlie stick to the cooking
