Join us, Carol & Ken, as we start a brand new adventure in our Consort Nova Motorhome called Snoopy.
In this series we are hitting up some of our favourite National Trust properties in South East England.
First up is Sheffield Park and Garden. We timed our visit well to see the magnificent waterlilies in all their glory on the ornamental lakes.
We show you around the cricket pitch that famously hosted a fixture against Australia in 1896 that was attended by 25,000 people!
After a tasty spiced cauliflower pasty for lunch we drive on to Rodmell to see Monkโs House, bought by the writer Virgina Woolf and her husband Leonard in 1919.
We show you inside this intimate home where they entertained many like-minded writers and artists.
Next, we head to Seaford seafront for our first night of the trip off-grid and Carol cooks up a one-pan salmon and prawn spaghetti.

๐ถ About us ๐ถ
Welcome to our channel! We're Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our camper van, which we have just upgraded to a slightly larger model.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.
We're passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. We're always learning and look forward to sharing our campervanning experiences with you.
While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local food. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos.
We like historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We aim to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.
We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.
Our channel is perfect for armchair travellers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our 'Buy Me a Coffee' fund, helps to keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. โค๏ธ
