The Escape Pod
Welcome to The Escape Pod!
We’re Chris & Nic – lifelong adventurers, festival-goers, and lovers of all things VW. After 30+ years of tent camping and exploring in classic Air Cooled Volkswagens, we’ve finally taken the leap and bought our very first grown-up campervan: a Volkswagen Grand California 680 4Motion.
We love travel, we have lived, worked and explored different countries across the world but nowhere feels quite like home the way the English countryside does. Now, we’re hitting the road to rediscover it – one quiet lane, scenic pitch, and festival at a time.
Join us as our Escape Pod takes us away from life’s daily grind, explore hidden corners, and share the highs and hiccups of life on four wheels.
Subscribe and come with us – the adventure’s only just begun!

WOW… we are absolutely blown away! 🤯
Thanks to YOU, our latest video has hit #55 in the Top 100 HYPED videos in the UK!! 🥳🇬🇧
Every single hype, like, comment and share genuinely makes a huge difference to how far our videos reach — and this result proves it. We honestly couldn’t do this without you. 🙏
If you haven’t already, please go and HYPE the video — it takes seconds but massively boosts visibility and helps our little channel grow in a big way and if you haven’t subscribed yet please consider it as we are so close to 1000 and it would mean the world to us to hit that milestone before our first birthday 💙
Thank you for backing us like you do. The Escape Pod community is something really special. 🚐✨
