Exploring England's Last Wilderness VAN LIFE UK | Van Life Diaries

Description

Join us for our shakedown cruise as we road trip and explore the north east of England. Northumberland was on our radar thanks to its relative quietness. We'd heard rumours it was England's best kept secret, with a landscape of dark sky areas, deep forests and endless beaches. What better place to get lost for a while and test Sophia and all her upgrades. For the first week we stayed inland, cruising the national park and hiking our way around the insane natural beauty here. Places We Visit: Simonside Hills Lambley Viaduct Hadrian's Wall (Steel Rigg Car Park) Kielder Forest Drive ⤈ J O I N O U R P A T R E O N ⤈ Our videos will always be free, but if you'd like to support our channel you can join our Patreon here - » https://www.patreon.com/overlandingsophia ⤈ F O L L O W U S ⤈ For real-time updates on our van life travels: » Instagram - https://bit.ly/2YMpHdv » Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/overlandingsophia » Website - https://www.overlandingsophia.com ⤈ I N T H I S V I D E O ⤈ 0:00 - 0:32 - Intro 0:33 - 05:31 - Hiking the Simonside Hills 05:32 - 07:55 - Van Life & Neolithic Rock Art 07:56 - 09:31 - Van Life Admin 09:32 - 11:11 - Discovering Lambley Viaduct 11:12 - 15:15 - Danger on the Bridge 15:16 - 17:50 - Hadrian's Wall & Sycamore Gap 17:51 - 21:17 - An Unexpected Detour 21:18 - 24:35 - The Most Epic Drive in the England? 24:36 - Blooper Reel ⤈ M O R E V A N L I F E T R A V E L S ⤈ Van Life France to Sicily Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn1NUYY2VXyhlgsLvnXZQWp0 Van Life UK Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn0ZKqneAbha94jkMnkBBGFr Van Life Portugal Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn1NoG9YimtMCTeQpk-aqstn Van Life Spain Playlist » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn37KGDpBq683reFQuxjlhXR ⤈ W A TC H T H E V A N B U I L D ⤈ Watch our Africa Van Build 2.0 from the start » https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9T0BcGBqYn09Q7QKe9RSfcmCvu5KgxHZ Our big plan - Driving to Cape Town in our Van! » https://youtu.be/dJMnHVE1xnc ⤈ C A M E R A G E A R ⤈ Main Camera: https://amzn.to/2rtZHFk Main Lens: https://amzn.to/2DZePxi Mini Vlog Camera: https://amzn.to/2DU323l Drone: https://amzn.to/2rpc71e GoPro: https://amzn.to/2YvDSBj Tripod: https://amzn.to/2s6XxLU (Links are affiliated with Amazon / We earn a small commission if you purchase through these links) ⤈ W H O W E A R E ⤈ We're Chesca and Ben and River (🐶 ) and we usually live full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After a year of travelling Europe, from Spain and Portugal to the island of Sicily, the pandemic brought us back home to the UK. Along with a secret project we'd been planning! We plan to drive our tiny home on wheels all the way from Cornwall, UK to Cape Town, South Africa. Starting in late 2021, we first need to make some major upgrades to Sophia, stripping her right back to the insulation and giving her some beefy upgrades. Join us on our journey as we turn Sophia into an overlanding rig, ready to tackle whatever Africa can throw at us. #vanlifeuk #vanlifediaries #northumberland
