It has been years since I wrote a blog about mine and Julie’s camping adventures but I am going to try and do a few a year to help give similar minded outdoor lovers ideas for new adventures.

Last week we fancied a weekend away with 2 main features.
Number 1 – it must have a […]

Our new member ‘Jules’ the 1972 Westfalia Bay Window Campervan

By |January 24th, 2021|Blog|Comments Off on Our new member ‘Jules’ the 1972 Westfalia Bay Window Campervan

PART 1

Since Canny Campers began in 2009 it never really lived up to its name, being that we started with just 1 campervan and continued like that until 2010. In 2010 instead of buying another campervan we bought ‘Millie’ our 1976 Karmann Cabrio Beetle.

Many years passed and although ‘Millie’ was a lovely vehicle and had […]

Photos from Little Joes Exterior Restoration 2020

By |March 12th, 2020|Blog|Comments Off on Photos from Little Joes Exterior Restoration 2020

Little Joe had a major restoration in 2016, but being a nearly 60 year old piece of automotive history and a wedding vehicle to boot, its important to keep on top of the bodywork.

That’s why it was decided to give the camper a partial respray and some required repairs in 2020.

In 2016 we couldn’t […]

North East’s Popular Wedding Venue’s 2020

By |September 5th, 2019|Blog|Comments Off on North East’s Popular Wedding Venue’s 2020

It’s that time again where I look back and forward at a vast
array of weddings where I have provided my VW Campervan and VW Beetle, to work
out to which venue’s I attend the most bookings.

The Data Used

I have analysed 121 weddings that I was part of in 2018,
2019 and the future bookings I have so […]

A weekend Camp at Catgill Campsite Bolton Abbey

By |October 9th, 2018|Blog|Comments Off on A weekend Camp at Catgill Campsite Bolton Abbey

Canny Campers HQ has been a strange one this year, we have experienced the busiest season ever but the weddings have been grouped together in such a way that still allows the odd weekend off, which is nice.

October is very quiet so Julie and I have taken the opportunity to use ‘Little Joe’ again as […]

Little Joe’s Full Interior Makeover 2018

By |February 9th, 2018|Blog|Comments Off on Little Joe’s Full Interior Makeover 2018

Little Joe the campervan has always had a split personality. On the one hand he is a home on wheels, loved and used as my personal campervan. On the other hand and let’s be honest due to massive popularity he is mainly a wedding bus, and in my opinion the best wedding bus!

Ever since taking […]

By |June 6th, 2017|Blog|Comments Off on Camping Weekend at Baysbrown Farm Ambleside

It’s that time of year when camping comes into its own, warm days mean that even the fairest weather campers are planning trips away and looking for ideas on where to go.

We decided to do an old school style camp on a free weekend, by this I mean taking the 18-year-old tent and basic equipment […]
