24hrs in a Tiny Teardrop Camper

I want to start by saying how blown away I am by the level of support and enthusiasm for the new content everyone has shown this past week. It means so much to me that you all find the new videos as enjoyable as I do.

Just as last week was a first with the new series, this week has also been filled with firsts. It was the first time I drove a subscriber’s setup, the first time I towed anything, the first time I crashed the drone, the first time in a tiny teardrop camper, and so the list goes on.

This week I met Harry, the owner of an incredible teardrop camper and beautiful Morris Minor. I was buzzing listening to him explain how he got into it all and his enthusiasm was so contagious. I was excited to try it out for myself.

There were so many cock ups and near misses, but it was so much f**king fun. It was also the first time I filmed with Ben, my new cameraman.

One of the main benefits of having Ben helping, other than being able to bounce ideas off someone, was that I could focus entirely on the experience of camping with a new setup. This meant that more of my natural blunders and cock ups made it into film.

I’ve known about teardrop campers for some time but it isn’t until you get up close and personal with one that you realise how tiny they are. This episode brought back so many fond memories of the Ford Galaxy. It was a blast from the past in more ways than one.

Following Saturday’s premiere of the new series I asked the community whether they wanted to stick with Saturday uploads or go back to Sundays. Most people preferred Sundays, so from this week onwards the new videos will be out every Sunday.

Join me at 6 pm as I crunch my way through the Morris Minor’s gearbox and narrowly avoid smashing its wing mirrors down the narrow lanes of rural Essex. If you know someone who would enjoy this video why not forward the newsletter to them and share the love? See you on Sunday.
