Saving Money While Camping

Image
Earlier this month (September 2023), I published a  Vanother Collective vlog , titled  How to Save Money While Camping .  In it, I remarked how I don't really hold on to the purse strings too tightly while we are away, as we enjoy visiting local attractions and eating out at local restaurants and pubs.  'How can this be true, from a Yorkshire man'? I hear you cry.  Well, it's very true, but that doesn't mean I don't like a bargain.  If you've watched the  vlog , you'll recall that I suggest a few 'members' discount schemes.  Well, we've found another...  Kids Pass , a digital membership group that offers discounts at cinemas, attractions, and restaurants across the UK, along with the UK and European holidays.   You can try the scheme for a month for just £1, then it's £3.99 per month after that.  You can cancel your subscription whenever you like.  It came in handy for our trip to Stockeld Park.

If you're returning after  last weeks blog , welcome back.  If this is the first time you've seen one of our collaboration blogs with  The Chaotic Campervaners , then make sure you go back to where it started with our first joint  blog . This is the Chaotic Campervaners sequel to their popular  road trip playlist . If you like what you read, please head over to see what else they have to say about camping and campervans,  here. Campervan Road Trip Playlist (Part 2) Unlike Volkswagen Camper Adventures playlist, my playlist doesn't include songs that provoke precious memories. The reason for this is that I want to hold tightly onto the response that these tunes give me. I feel that if I play them too often, that (as a friend once said) 'they might wear out'! One such tune is Arthur's Song by Christopher Cross. This reminds me of being in a friend's car many years ago. This friend always drove old bangers that often broke down and we always ended up having '

My Campervan Playlist (part 2)

Back in July, in collaboration with  The Chaotic Campervaners , we posted our  camper van playlist , and due to the popularity of said blog, we're going to bring you part two! Like last time, we've teamed up with the 'Chaotic' ones, and will publish their blog on the 18th September. So... without any further ado, I bring you playlist, part 2! (Ooh ooh, that rhymed! 😁) 1. Surfin' U.S.A. by The Beach Boys.  Well, what do you expect from a family of beach lovers?  The 60s superstars are a big hit in our van, and also featured in part one of our playlist, with one of their later records, Kokomo. 2. Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim.  This tune was massive when it was released in 1998.  It also features in a famous dance scene in the 1999 film, She's All That. 3. At The River by Groove Armada.  Sampling Patti Page's, 1957 Old Cape Cod, Groove Armada made one of the most beautiful chill out tunes.  I often use it for beach scene videos on our social media pages or
