This Campervan Trip is a NIGHTMARE! Back Down to DEVON! Fishing in Ilfracombe

After first driving down to Devon, to see Amy and her newborn baby, we then had to take Amy to St Micheal’s Hospital in Bristol, while staying in the Wye Valley. We now have to go back down to Devon, as Amy may be delivered back there with her baby. But first, we have another little look around one of the Wye valleys, beauty spots. Wintour’s Leap. This viewpoint is unbelievable, from the top of towering limestone cliffs. Before making our way to Ilfracombe we have a look at one last place. Chepstow and its magnificent castle. Once we get back to Ilfracombe we do some Fishing at the harbour. But can we catch anything this time?

Welcome to Taylors Aboard a Campervan, our sister channel to you guessed it Taylors Aboard a Narrowboat. On this Channel, we’re be converting our new, well new to us 2005 Peugeot Boxter. which we bought to replace our Renault Kangoo, which is too unreliable, uneconomical, and small for Dad to sleep in. This van was an ex-school bus, with only 80k miles on the clock, 3 new tires, a new exhaust, But most importantly it starts every time and doesn’t have a fuel leak. The two big problems with buying an ex-school minibus are, one, it came with 14 seats in the back that we have to remove and try to get rid of. two it has a speed limiter on it. This van is so big we can all sleep in it, allowing us to travel to beautiful places far and wide, like Scotland and Wales, whilst staying in the van. So join us as we convert this ex-school bus into a beautiful family camper, from electrics, plumbing, and gas to building 3 beds, a kitchen, a dinette, and a toilet all into a 6ft by 11ft box.

almost may but s just listen to all the birds so quiet here back box there love the way all these trees are growing out all this Limestone looking for a lime kill around here uh this looks like an old Cy this bit this is the top of the lme C I see that so the entrance to it be down here somewhere yeah we would walk past it there all your wood and kindering in the bottom and another a layer of coal layer of lime layer of coal layer of lime till it’s all filled up got a dangerous job though it live very long well once it turned to Quick lime it trouble is with quick line if it gets reacts with water I mean there were stories of horse carts going to the fields to put quick lime on the fields the fertilizer and it started raining and they caught a light but when you breathed it in imagine what it did to your lungs yeah there’s the bottom of them not massively spectacular limestone kilms like on the canals down at you know on the uh on the Calen Canal you know that one on the montgonery it’s still pretty nice this whole valley was once a bustling industry of all this Limestone wire making and iron and all that lot it’s lovely old ancian oak probably I don’t know 400 years old maybe he’s dead now but but yeah he’s a big one but look what’s right next to him what this is I think it’s a well looks like it might be a well lovely ancient sticker M here too there’s the river down there what a Beauty look at this it’s like conjoined itself it’s funny is it yeah but look at that bark compared to that bark it’s not an oak I’m not sure what it is it’s a so these are two different trees then yes side by side you got this second one here it’s growing over this here this is probably years old I’d say yeah it’s older a’t it yeah this is yeah but this is no this is quicker growing this is the remains of St James’s Church there may have been a church here all the way back in the 7th and 8th Century this is probably one of the earliest Christian sites in the Y Valley and historical references suggest an early Monastery Community here how did it get destroyed well the Vikings may have destroyed the original Church during the raids up the Y Valley but the one we see built here today was probably built by the early Lords of cheptoo castle Yeah six just about 1632 I could read Jesus almost 400 years old the church contained a superb lead font made between 11:30 and 11:40 which suggests the church existed there look at that view never seen anything like it in the UK haven’t really AP from Yorkshire maybe Limestone up there oh yeah Ro climbing yeah people rock climbing again looks like they going into a cave hang on look seaweed dead brury yeah it’s flooding come up wow you can flood the footpath yeah lovely wild camping spot this is someone’s used someone’s wild camping over there now in the boat yeah that’s the gear box and then the prop would be at the end it’s either that or a winch but that looks like a prop to me do it you might be an old fairy could be yeah this is there’s a cut out there look yeah I Sting the Google that almost like it’s a a dock used to be a dock maybe if the boat’s coming up to get the stone t com up to here so expensive to par there I don’t know it’s weird have a train there hope you get up coming down H oh they going up we got to get back up that Cliff but it isn’t very long distance so that means it’s going to be quite a climb it’s not going to be very gradual then no we could rock climb up like those people do no I don’t think soit from the main entry exit point to from rul of nature res along the public [Music] foot apparently this path is closed so I’m going to have a little look up there and see if it is car is privately owned it’s quite an Ascent up here BL how this is hardcore don’t if that I can do this this Crocs on how far I’ve come up thing spoke to a rock climber all rock climbers in it’s Hiers two people uh yeah he says the fence has been knocked down or something you can

driving cuz got Drive 6 minutes so have a quick little round CH St U before Hope Rings us just going to have a look at the castle and maybe a couple tra shops yeah f stand this is the old wi Bridge not original cuz there were early wooden bridges here since Norman times it was put here in 1816 by John R of Bridge North which is of course the area where most of the Iron Works came from just like many of the iron aqueducts on the canals it carried the main a48 road between Newport and Gloucester until 1988 when the new bridge that we just came in on was built alongside it Downstream cuz I imagine things were getting pretty busy through there you’re Wells again P it’s the first time I’ve seen one of those dad that’s this is chipto Castle and it is the oldest surviving post Roman Stone fortification in Britain construction began all way back in 1067 under instruction of the Norman Lord William Fitz Osborne the castle has been a stronghold in many battles over the years between glou and montshire and Wales and England and they’ve been fighting there centuries in 1685 the buildings were partly dismantled and leased to tenants and left to Decay various parts of the castle used as a farmyard and Glass Factory and by the late 18th centuries its ruins became with other sites from the Y Valley pictures a feature of the Y tour the Y Valley is of course where tourism really start to kick off from one of those places while we’re here in chap we thought we’d check out a few of their charity shops right they light are they yeah they’re quite light as well compared to those metal ones you got Walkers a Walkers guyet you go [Music] walk W what’s going on let’s have a quick look that had a breathe and he’s gone back under so keep see the seal Gray Seal there gray SE I’m not sure if it’s a gray seal or not I could I only just saw its back had a blunt nose it’s probably gray miss the seal I never thought he’d go in this show just saw a little Lum yeah he’s come from there all the way up to there now trying to get up probably yeah I was trying to find where the fish are I didn’t see him yeah you don’t see him I just about caught the fell end of him yeah he’s going through these these shallow rocks here looking for grab come on baby more there he is he there he is him now yeah did you get him Josh yeah look at him definitely a common isn’t it using his new binoc to try and find the seal that’s all we got in the track shop just bers are they good yeah he’s up by the bridge now they’re good they’re Crystal Clear these leaving uh Wales PR good this time a nice timeing

driving the other half but I’m not not very good passeng but we’re going straight to thing now we oh going straight to Lee now and they could do some fishing which would be nice because um Noah and Amy haven’t even left the Bristol hospital because his SATs went down so he wasn’t safe enough to move and then they put him in the incubator and his SATs went up and he’s fine so he’s fine to move now so but we left at 4:00 expecting Amy to be leaving then and she’s still therec yeah so we’re going to get to Le and F so relax them so that’ll be all right tied in tied out out we’ve only got a
