This week we went out to the Yorkshire dales to check out some routes suitable for 4×4 and AWD vans when the weather gets worse and we can get some ice and snow action.

No what are you saying so those of you that have done Overland that kind of thing all know it’s an endless Pursuit for the perfect spot and it might be the first spot that you’ve seen but you have to in the back of your head check out five more spots and go
Back imagine a weird out light but P seems to be doing same and all we’re just going to check out so this spot was quite a bit out the way but it’s one that I’ve wanted to take off the list for a while and it was just a unanimous yes on a Friday Night just been up to the uh F Mouse to pay and um I’m not quite sure how in depth the uh background screening and things like that are because he didn’t have time to take the six quid uh so he’s giving us very specific directions of
Where we can stop and how much the uh the Water might come in if it rains and things like that so very interesting uh fell we’ll put it that way uh he reckons he’s can come about 10:00 tonight so probably uh just have a NB at what we’re
Doing really um I suppose it’s he doesn’t want people making a mess and all the rest of it but it did tickle me the way he was like no messes no fires no noise and all the rest of it and just like half taken to bits tractors and
Dead vehicles from 10 years ago scattered all over the place but hey it’d be boring if everyone was the same it’s dressed like Mo’s murderer [Laughter] he so we’re parked up he being passed hasn’t complained about where we’ve parked however I feel we need a good
Half an hour 40 minutes in this location to make sure we’re not going to get kicked off for being uneven or too rowdy having too much suspension LIF on our f for this oh this is so much more room just for having a swivel feet I need to get
On with mine it’s ridiculous isn’t it especially if you do that one as well I’m going to shut the door I’m in now right we’re going to have a beer and we’re going to hang around a little bit but this is the view that is not a bad place to wake Up are they they got a boy attached to them there’s a boy but I don’t think he’s attached to [Laughter] anything that one’s definitely a boy are we going chunky dunan I reckon we have to right so we’re just going to make a little bit of food it is crap weather so
We’re just going to shelter pretty much in the vehicle have a couple of beers and we’re going to make some tea so what I’m going to try and do is do some meatballs and pasta well you’re Sheltering the vehicle aren’t you I’m this is not a me concern if you’re out
There we had a plan you sit in your slide door and can remember social distancing can you remember the rules what rules were that you traveled the world didn’t you I went to the top of all way back Keep so these are a nice little touch they’re from um Aldi little cans they look like craft beers but they’re actually pasta saucers and the be It’s just warm YK food it’s um meatballs few saucers a load of Taco Bell spices bit of n bread I’ll do right good this we’ve been for a walk to the top of the biggest hill in the world uh just to get a bit of signal just to make sure the
World’s not come to an end uh we’ve had a wander down it started pissing it down got soaking wet had a few beers in the pizza van and now it’s time for bed so I’m going to get in the comfiest bed in the world and I shall see you in the morning good
Morning what a strange night’s sleep full moon crazy dreams so yes time to get up tidy the van cuz it’s still a mess from cooking last night washed all the pots and stuff but the still bits out but I just like the vehicle you know so you can just get in and
Drive and I think a little bit of exercise is in order so going to get the coffee and stuff out get the kettle hot but not make a brew and it’ be rude if we stopped next to our Lake and didn’t have a morning swim so stand by for some chunky
Dunking right Pete’s going up to uh pay the farm so we’re just going to move the Vans over to the swimming section cuz it’s a designated swimming section uh and yeah let’s have a bit of a Dip Oh nuts is it warm rich I lovely it’s it’s um I went to uh Mi a few weeks ago just like that yeah I can see yeah I’ve got inverted I don’t mean like Top Gun for those that are wondering it’s 10° outside of the water inside of the water it’s a little
Worse you imine locals are just like how is it oh that’s better I killed for temperatures like this 6 weeks ago so the upside of doing your own merch whenever you feel like it treat yourself on you H breakfast of [Applause] Champions in my shoes on my should in the dirt down in The we are just at the top of the big hill above where we’re camping we’ve just got a bit of phone signal replied to all the messages and we are now heading to the lanes down In so we’re up on the um Yorkshire Dales and I absolutely love how Bleak and open it is I know the PE districts is on my doorstep but I found a lot of the lanes are either too narrow or they’ve just been shot so it’s not worth all the
Drivve in just to get a few lanes whereas you’ve got this literally an hour and a half 2 hours Northwest and it’s not hard to get to A1 straight up and across it’s a beautiful beautiful place so what we’re doing is we’re going to do a bit of a
Reconnaissance around all the lanes to make sure that they’re wide enough and suitable for one when it get snow and ice I want to come back up here and get a bit of a camp out in the bad weather and two there’s a couple of people um
Like that have got the Synchro vdubs so it’d be nice for something that’s nice and easy for them to you know get on get a little bit of a laning weekend with groups of like say two groups of six separate them up and uh yeah it should work well line number One secr away me those do are closed closed Closed make cold cold Cold never invol me those dark hiden away from me those do are close cl cl how can you make when you’re so cold cold cold keep going keep Going You st to change build this you never rest together with you I never felt happiness together with you never Lon you but it’s where I so um what I’ll do do by the time this video comes out I’m going have a word with P and I’m going to see if we can
Put um some sort of little post together with the camp spots and planes and stuff and I’ll uh I’ll pop them on the patreon page for you I think uh I think Pete’s fishing for meteor influencers he’s got his 360 fishing rod out we’ve done these Lanes now over the
Top of this little bit of more dead easy it’s uh it’s something you could I mean I was in two wheel drive all the way apart from where I wanted to fly the Drone and I just wanted that little bit lower gearing so put it in low box for
That um but other than that dead easy we are now heading to where was it wedley Dale crey Wesley Dale crey so we’re going to grab some cheese because cheese grommet we’re both delicate fellas that you know not really into food yeah no we don’t eat much of that no you’re going
To dip it in honey a you yeah I’ve got I’ve got some where was it Albanian or Romanian Romanian honey um cuz if you’ve not seen Pete’s stuff have a look on Instagram he he likes to go to the Old Eastern block Soviet countries uh and wild Camp all over the old
Um there just all deric buildings and stuff but it’s just epic cuz the the old Soviet stuff so we’re going to get some cheese we’re going to get over towards uh scar house Reservoir do the lanes over there and then we’re going to go across the Big Mo over the top um and
Then just see where we we start we we’ve already dropped in quite a few spots where there’s phone signal nice and sheltered uh few good spots and we’re just going to keep doing it keep having little spots and yeah stop waffling let’s go get some cheese yep get some cheese smell my
Cheese and this is where I really love the van done a little bit of lining it doesn’t float as well as the land but now we get on the road wind up podcast on heat us on and just stick it on cruise control at 50 or something and we’re away This is the hour the darkest Place Dante’s Inferno the de M it’s a good World good world I so there we go cheese in hand every single sample eaten twice over so we don’t really need dinner after that do we so yeah we’re going to get back on the road and we got about 40 minutes till we get to the next line um just we
Got to go all the way around to get to to where we’re going and uh get a little bit more afro a Good to the top three is not the four one’s not so top Cruz has been the leader for like 30 years um who do we guess yeah yeah I’m saying she plays an alien an alien takes over human you do this every do you have You think that get to me and if you’re right then you’re inou cu But when comes to you better keep it don’t sing think get me what we’re making Rich well some kid on a moped has just dropped these off how we got up here I do not know get anywhere then right so what I’m doing now uh I’ve
Just got a little oven pizza if you’ve got one of the ridge monkeys and you can cook slow enough without burning a little patch right in the middle they’re actually banging for this so yeah nothing fancy little cheese tomato garlic pizza when it’s uh up to Temp we’ll put
A little bit more ingredients on there cuz they’re always tight with them M likez they’re any cheap but this is the view this is scarl reservoir uh the Lan goes right down onto it we we’re just stopping here to get a brew and something to eat because
It gets quite steep after this so yeah about 1:00 in the afternoon so food time you what I don’t feel so bad about c a door grenading itself now you got to drink how your pizza to do uh I have one yeah if youve uh if you got your kids
Producing this is easy easy easy one these are from Aldi you can do it with mro pizzas everything little pizza I put AIT extra toppings on the stuff but the trick is cooking it really slow and what I like to do is once it’s cooked on the
Bottom for a bit rotate the pan round and put it onto the lid so then the bottom becomes the lid and Cooks it from the top that way you get a nice even heat on top as well I just split mine upside down cuz I’m a it won’t be a rid monkey
Dinner without cheese toasty and hot sauce [Applause] Good you’re fishing for vloggers again yeah oh a new Defender that that would have been good a follow up all Right so I don’t know how this Lane’s going to go because last time I came up here was about 5 years ago in My Land Rover and I say came up here we came down it and it was in the snow and it was quite slippy and quite
Steep but hey how we’ll have a good it um the only downside is these Vans like to Scrabble around for grip they haven’t got the traction that a Land Rover would have but no harm in looking as the so it goes up here it’s fairly steep then there’s like a switch back which
Gets very steep We’ve just found this lovely High Point on top of the MOs now and for some reason we’ve got 5G I’ve uploaded uh well I’ve made live this week’s video If you wondered why it wasn’t out Friday night is just I was in a valley with no signal so
Yeah that’s on so if you haven’t checked out the patreon meet already go back and check that out and uh we now need to find ourselves a nice little Camp spot the weather is absolutely GH so ideally we want somewhere a little bit sheltered if we can but we’ll
See Pete start from back So we’ve got to the top of this hill we had a drive around we got on the malls everywhere we went um they’ve got shoots coming on soon so there’s uh little signs up saying no wild camping no camping no Camper vans all the usual stuff and it’s coming up to that season
Where keepers are going to be mooching about out but so we’ Fallen back to the usual house deing Gorge um basically um we’re going to wreck you this cuz we’re looking at having a sprinter meet up here so it’s a nice Spot Cafe activities usual stuff so it’s worth
Seeing what it’s like now cuz it’s changed hand since last time I came here that’s more than enough dry space isn’t it if you just want to move your van to it’s position next to it This is what happens when I try and start fire when Rich is around he’s just undone all my good work and P A little put made a little feather sticks and yeah you didn’t do it wrong you’re just used to doing it with a lot more lighter fluid
And no I do that with paper that that’s the thing though you can do it with a blowtorch a lighter fluid and it’s done and you’re cooking I’m used to going to the woods and that being my entertainment for an hour that’s the I think that’s the difference isn’t
It yeah I’m I’m used to Li this at home and then uh or the the log burner yeah I just again the wood burner at home I’ll do that with a Ferro rod and yeah yeah all the basic just cuz it’s better than watching telly isn’t it that is
True and it it don’t hurt to practice a little bit with these little skills cuz you’re not I mean I’ve done it before where we’ve run out of lighter blocks and stuff so I’ve just gone really basic and it like This It’s not I Still A bit of water to shake that up and get last but Yeah let’s put the rice in the microwave they’re going to know about this tomorrow aren they going know about it so there we go shower changed lovely shower block lovely warm showers can’t knock it start for the day let’s go get a brew at the cafe and uh get the Vans off the
Field I need to get some poer pins for these that’s that’s quite good though because it means it can’t be nicked instantly that is true and actually when you’re doing a lot of Summer overlanding stuff you don’t really use them very often no I’ve I’ve had some on a Land
Rover and I’ve never used them I used them three times for self-leveling that’s all I used them for just leveling the van up you need that extra bit and if you didn’t have them guaranteed you would need them and you’d be pissing so what he’s doing he’s being super nice
And super cautious I said full lock on and just peel round but he’s probably right that if it did start to slip he’s in the wall so what he’s going to do he’s putting recovery boards under his back tires it can re reverse up this tiniest slope on Earth just enough that
He can get a good lock on and go out where I came in yeah because you’re so before we disappear I’ve got this little Hidden Gem that I’m going to show Pee there More So now we’re at the far end can have a quick look here head back move the Vans get a coffee and for them that don’t know it’s the same as in snow you don’t just set off from where you started you rock yourself out of your divot that you’ve dug down
Get out of that and then make an attempt with momentum don’t try and set off from already in a Hole So that’s another stop ticked off the list cuz although we’re planning this for when it’s snowing and that there is always um we’re looking at doing like a group meet so like a bit of a Green Lane thing we know we’ve got a point where we
Can go to where the showers toilets and whatever we need basically this Lane itself is an absolute doal it’s quite flat no real obstacles I’m still in two wheel drive but the idea is because they get quite a bit of snow ice and it’s it’s exposed when the weather’s
Really really bad it should make a nice day out and because you can see overall the mops and Stu it’s so scenic isn’t it cuz we don’t get much bad weather in the UK it’s just like kind of mediocre all the time so I think this will be a nice little Spot so we’re just coming along the top of the mallos now and if I remember right L we’re go a little bit further and then we’re going to have the um quite steep switch back down to the reservoir and we’re going to get a brew cuz I a’t had enough caffeine this
Morning I’d love to get the Drone up but it keeps pissing it down and uh I’ve already lost uh I’ve already lost one drone this year to uh go in in a like and YouTube’s expensive enough without buying multiple DRS a year I’m got to say though it’s crappers it is for
Filing I love this time of year for Ling it’s just the right mix of Muddy slippy not too hot not too cold it’s just right we said about this the [Applause] [Applause] rich [Applause] Now we’re playing YouTube game and I’ve got to run back up there while he films Me as you’ll see now your front end’s going to be dropped quite considerably so you could imagine how much of a tilt that would have been it’s not articulation I think with it being a deceptively steep H Great Did them rocks want to come in the window [Applause] Yeah yesterday morning we had some lovely lovely friendly Walkers and yesterday afternoon and this morning miserable shits and I’d get it if I was driving down a foot path but it’s not it’s a byway it is a legal place to drive a vehicle they chose to walk somewhere where vehicles
Are allowed then get upset when they see vehicles I don’t I don’t understand it it’s just it’s ridiculous and if you go by there their rules they’ll want the vehicles off of it they’ll restrict access to foot path and then they’ll get rid of horses and mountain bikes cuz they don’t
Like them either and then it gets to the point where it’s just them and they able-bodied mates or or their limited thing but then they forget that it wasn’t so long ago where there wasn’t foot paths and there wasn’t national parks and there was big process to get
Them and they’re the kind of people that use it the most that want rid of it all and the roads will just decline into and out yeah you seen it already in lanes they’ve shut you can’t get the lanes anymore yeah you can’t walk them they’re
Overgrown as as DFT as it is it’s the vehicle traffic that keeps them nice and wide and all the rest of it and I don’t care what people say about 4 before erosion the 4 before associations and stuff do maintenance as well as the council does maintenance and it costs
Nowhere near and it’s nowhere near the damage that Walkers do have you seen the state of the 4×4 erosion on snowdonia all those 4x4s going up the top of Snowdon they on a right Trail in it look at M to yeah I I was up on the Peaks and
I was literally watching watching helicopters taking Stone up to like fix the erosion that walkers have done are you telling me that’s good for the environment he’s running helicopters all day every day to get hundreds of stone hundreds of tons of stone up there now
They need to poke in the eye of these people because they just don’t get it and if they fall over and break a hip the gets and there’s no air ambulance available guess which muet going to be bringing them down in the back of the
Van you know you pull over you start you smile you wave and they just blanky and car walking there’s no need for that at least be polite yeah you know imagine if we had the same attitude with them that they have with us oh yeah well it’s can’t do that though let’s
Make a coffee I don’t think there’s enough caffeine going on this morning I think that’s the issue I’ve had one coffee the world’s not a safe place yet Come on B [Applause] br so I’m happy with that some very basic easy Lanes I’d say um if you’re in
A Land Rover not think twice about it but I’m not aiming the route at that kind of person it’s going to be the all-wheel drive van crew so it’s just something a bit different cuz I know there’s a lot of people that they’re not overly confident with what the vehicle
Will actually do so ideal for that it’s also awesome when it’s snowy and icy isn’t it so I know I’ve said it but I’m just yeah so thanks to those that have watched this far and I will see you on the next one don’t forget to subscribe

Great vid as usual. I need to get over there to do some exploring.
👍
Good effort going for a swim in that weather lad 😂. Cobblers to that 😂.
Great video, really enjoyed it, the scenery is stunning
These are the routes I do on my motorcycle, I can't believe the vans got up scarhouse! Great video.
Totally agree with your points about all users on the lanes, these people really need to have a word with themselves.
I’m surprised just how capable these 4wd Sprinters are.
Great scenery In Gods own country Rich! Love the brew up on that concrete Lego brick! The world is not a safe place til a Yorkshireman has had 2 coffees on a morning! 😂
My wife has multiple sclerosis and she will never get to see places like this unless in a 4×4. I find these ramblers selfish and rude thinking places like this are for abled bodied people only.🤬 Great vid BTW 🤣👍
Just a heads up there’s a great little lane round the back of the lake u had a swim in on first night. 2 ford crossing and a drive down the river as well. Another great video as well
epic video dude
Fab upload Rich very cable Vans Beautiful scenery and Drone footage bet that water was warm 😀 lol Thanks for bringing us along 🚐🇮🇪👍😀
New to the channel, and totally agree we all have access no matter what mode of transport .
I was up that way last year or maybe the year before, never knew about these lanes will have to try then out in the new shogun, the last one was built for touring with the caravan, this one is going to be more of a self contained tourer.
I need more of this in my life, forgive my ignorance but the trip down into Wales, Oakes park I can't think of its proper name, I looked it up yesterday when i watched it, what a mash up and fun by all.
Cheers Mick
Absolutely fantastic video.
Proper down to earth honest presentation.
Thank you both so much for taking the time to film and share 👌👌👌👌👍🏻
Spot on bud, looks a good spot that 👍
Lots of comments from new subs. Love that
Mate I thought Pete was gonna 127 hours himself.
Ps. I’m in
Brilliant 49min Rich glad kept it for a Sunday night thank you very much
Great video from my hospital bed new knee & rich the box thanks mate.
Great Video Rich, Loving the Sprinter Content.
Another great video as always and to make it better it’s in Yorkshire 🙂 , totally agree with the ramblers we come across some lovely ones always have time to stop and talk to anyone interested but then you get those that just ruin your day, the bridge you crossed over the resovoir had nails thrown over it a year ago to puncture the tyres on the vehicles using the lane they don’t think of the horses dogs and children that could also stand on them absolute selfish morons
Jesus! Chunky dunkin 😂🤣👍🏻
Top video Rich,looks like you both had a great time!
How can we find details of the lake you stayed on the shore of – we'd absolutely love to stay there with access to the lake with kayaks!!!
Does anyone the name of the BBQ/Firepit was featured? Cheers
Do yours have hi/lo and diff lock? Great video
Hey great vid! What is your mates Insta handle btw?
Lidl subs cook quite well to also Garlic bread on a hot fire in the monkey. turn and check frequently.
bloody hell just posted to my facebook post pre your mediocre weather comment ha ha. may be a bit lively this weekend
Your last comments. I jokingly said to somebody earlier at work be a lot of defenders about this weekend. In my eyes that will in the last few years spread beyond defenders to sprinters suzukis etc could go on but then when the weathers nice tax em to the hilt (put that politely) and deny access. Keep the access looked like some good route and good times there.
Great video again rich route and views look amazing defo one iv got todo van handled it well mate
Top lads
We had the same in the lakes last week, walkers miserable bunch! Mounting bike guys good as gold and even shut a gate for us at the end of the trail
New sub here. What's the firepit you're using?
👍🏼🚐
Great video, love the content.
I feel your pain re: walkers. You try and educate but a lot of them sadly don’t understand what a B.O.A.T is.
Never mind, like you say in your video – smile and wave, let them jog on 😁
Stay safe!
Everthought about starlink satellite internet for the van ?
just come back onto Utube seen your new van. Been away from Utube for a while. Loving your new van. Ya done an amazing job on it. Cant wait to see the end result. i am glad your off Roading in it, makes more of an adventure. Graet video content as usual, Richard.
That camp site looked great. What is the name of it please. Thanks
