Hi think we gave the cost of the ferry crossings at the end of this particular series of videos but it was about £850 return - our return crossing was Roscoff to Plymouth but it's coming up to nearly two years ago so not sure price is relevant now 😊 Thanks for watching 👀

Thank you Dave, yes was an experience. Catch up soon.

Thank you for watching Jack. I will make sure i watch that movie as tunnelling must have been a very hazardous occupation

Hi think you told us that before but thanks for letting us know again 😊

Thanks for the support - I was quite pleased with my first attempt

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the support. I really enjoyed the museum, but it was very moving to see the sheer horror of the Great War in the many photo’s there. Take care

😂 He does love his rum!!!

Thank you so much ☺️ and thanks for watching 👀

Hiya, we're still using Uppbeat but when they dropped from 10 free downloads a month to 3 we decided to pay for premium and we could then add our channel to our account so now we don't have to list each track in the description in order to meet their copyright criteria 😊

Yes I am considering doing that as well, what was the name of the track you used?

@ Ah ok, um was it the first piece of music on the last video or when we first started? We used iMovies music for a while too and think it was just the ‘Travel” one. If its the one from the latest video I’ll have to go through the ones I have downloaded recently to see if I can work it out

Thank you so much, we really appreciate that 😊

Hi Stuart. So, we are sure that you can get a proper pet gate to go in the door way but also think a kids one would as our door is quite wide. With regard to the diesel heater - if you buy a van that has a winterised pack then you'll be more than insulated and protected from the winter especially if it has a Thuma 6 boiler. Mark thinks a compressor fridge is better and more economical as our fridge uses a lot of gas. We don't have air con but thinking about it as if you're heading to places like southern Spain in the summer you'll definitely need it! Are you buying new or secondhand? Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark - I would like to buy brand new, but am open to a slightly pre-used (1-2 years) if need be. The purchase depends on whether buying new is a problem as I will be in the process of getting Long Stay Residency, and sometimes the dealers find the paperwork of an initial registration to a foreigner difficult. I plan to spend a lot of time off grid (maybe only 2 nights a week on electric hook-up), so a compressor fridge, lithium and more solar are top priorities for me. Kind regards, Stu

Hi Helen, thank you so much ☺️ You're not too far from us at all then! We are more than happy to help with any advice - if you're thinking of heading to France and Spain though we can't recommend the Pyrenees and the Picos de Europa enough!! We're heading off on a BIG TRIP soon as well, heading to loads of countries we've never been to before!! What sort of Motorhome do you have? Have you been to Europe before? Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

@ oh wow thank you that’s amazing! We have an Autotrail Frontier Scout - only got her a few months ago and loving her! We having ventured further than Worcestershire yet lol!!!!

Will have to take a look at that one and hopefully when the weather improves you'll be able to get out and about more locally 😊

Hi guys, thank you so much ☺️ We definitely had a lovely stay in Ypres and it's not that long a drive from Calais so does make a great first stop! We're working on the next one to come out soon 🤞🏻 How far are you planning to travel north and for how long? Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

@ Hi. We are looking to do the big cities in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany,pop over to Austria. Switzerland and then back in France

@@DaveandBonitasVanlife sounds fab! We did Netherlands and Germany and on our next trip a lot more!

Looking forward to watching the videos

Thanks for the offer which we appreciate but we cannot pay anyone to do this I'm afraid so we'll keep learning and improving ourselves 😍

I will do best youtube video SEO expert optimization and Social Media growth manager

Hi Richard, we bought the wheel on EBay having had a discussion with the seller about the specification - it's a cheap steel "emergency" wheel and we put an old tyre on it! Thanks for asking 😍

Cheers

Hi Sean, that you so much for the sub, we really appreciate that and we’re glad you have liked our videos. Are you a motorhome owner yourself? We are just back from a month away in Northern Europe and in March will be heading off on a really Big Trip for us. Thanks for watching and commenting - Amanda & Mark 😍

@AdventureswithAmandaandMark Thanks for the reply, yes we are motorhomes for 8 years now, 1 PVC, 1 rapido coach built fixed bed, now 1 auto Sleeper Nuevo make up bed, not impressed with making the bed, next one something like yours.

Yeah we didn't want to keep making up the bed either! We're nearly at 4 years of motorhoming and our first one, Indie, we loved but we need more storage and security for the bikes. Millie the Burstner is great for all of that but the kitchen does wind me up a bit 😂

@@joolsdeb6256 Hi, thank you for watching and for your comment. We are looking to go up to 3850 kg but wanted to get this done before we go away in March but don’t think that is going to happen as the Up-plating company is taking its time! Hopefully we will be ok for our BIG TRIP in March - we did take a few things out that we didn’t need for the winter trip so felt a bit better. Enjoy your travels - Amanda & Mark 😍

@AdventureswithAmandaandMark as long as you have plenty of rum and a credit card you'll be fine ☺️ We struggled to find the right bottle in amboise but water was everywhere. Take care and enjoy. X

@@clegsta42 Hi, it’s a very moving region of Belgium isn’t it - more than we expected really. The last post call at the Menin Gate is definitely a must. Sorry to make you teary though but thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😊

Hi Hermione, thank you so much for your lovely comment, we really appreciate that and thanks for the sub. Laying a wreath there will be very emotional for you and must mean a great deal to you and your family, safe travels - Amanda & Mark ☺️

Hi Christine, that would be Mark with the Haribo 🤣 We were pleasantly surprised Ypres as had no idea how close it was (well from Calais that is, not Cornwall!) and how much history there was. Yes we thought the same about the Menin Gate and the scaffolding but that seems to the story of our lives every time we go away somewhere! Burstner Bertie is a fab name!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, we really appreciate that - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Michael. The pub has a loyalty app which you can sign up to and after 24 hours you can get £10 off a £40 spend plus other offers I believe - www.vintageinn.co.uk/restaurants/south-east/theoldgateinnbridgecanterbury?#/ Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

Thank you so much ! Lovely videos by the way, just a perfect lovely happy feel to them ! 😊

You’re very welcome and thanks so much, that’s very kind of you to say so 😊

We will have to remember to do that on our next trip but there is still a lot of room in there for everything else we carry - windbreak, outdoor table and chairs, washing line etc etc

You are probably right! We did ask the receptionist at the campsite and she made it sound like there was more of an ish on the end 🤔 Thanks for watching 👀

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark - Hey, I just watched a video from Dusseldorf Caravan Salon. The Burstner lady was showing your MH. Does your drop-down bed have an extension slide-out drawer on the cab end? Google translate said something about a bed extension to sleep lengthways. I've not seen this in any other van tour of your model. ruclips.net/video/ObXgfIK-ObE/видео.html. at 5:52 mins into video.

Hi, we don’t have a drop down bed in our motorhome but our dining seat/table turns into a small double if we want it to. Our daughter slept on it when we spent a week in Scotland. We have two singles at the back.

Hi guys, thank you so much really appreciate that 😊 That's was a great park up at Canterbury - we'd definitely stay there again. Hope you're both well and thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

Thanks for watching guys, really appreciate that 😍

Hi Steven, thanks for the feedback on the video and good to know that people enjoy watching them. Thanks for filling us in on the recruits and why they were there. Thanks for watching Sarg from L/Cpl Dymond

Hi David, we had a fab trip thank you and it was lovely to bump into you too - made us feel like celebrities 🤣 Don’t know if you picked up on it but Mark did a shout out to you in his Brewdog Advent calendar that night but he couldn’t remember if your name was Mike or Dave! Sorry your motorhome didn’t get into the footage but yes I did most of the filming the day we arrived, whilst it was dry. Thank you for watching and your kind words, that means a lot. Safe travels - Amanda & Mark 😍

Awhh we’re just sat here watching it too and Mark said do Deb and Dave know its out 🤣 I know so its so lovely to look back and what we did ☺️ Hope you’re both ok xx

Great vlog guys, We've done Ypres a few times and the musuems you visited lots of memories made, and your right it does make you feel sad when you realise what they did for us, look forward to the next one 😊😊 xx

Hi both, thank you so much ☺️ We had a lovely visit to Ypres and has no idea it was so easy to get too and had so much history! We're glad we bought back some memories for you and thank you for watching, we really appreciate your support - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Jonathan, we didn’t think of that! When it’s been really cold here in the UK, I’ve taken our King duvet from home and slept with it folded over but actually a double might work - thank you! And thanks for watching, take care - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi guys, thank you so much, it’s nice to be back on them and we have lots planned for this year!! Thanks for letting us know, think I might have put Mark on the spot when I asked him what the Crit Air was for 😂 Thanks for watching, and for commenting, take care - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Graham, we can't remember what we did then, possibly showed a booking ref but we have just been on Irish Ferries and P&O Ferries and just had to show our passports so this could be the same for Brittany Ferries now. Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi, you’re very welcome ☺️ We are very pleased with her and have just spent a month travelling in Northern Europe in her and will be heading off for a longer tour in March. Burstner are a good brand and the building quality is exceptional. Are you moving to the UK or somewhere else in Europe and will you be doing lots of travelling? Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark - Hi Amanda & Mark. I will be moving to France as I will apply for a Long Stay Visa (retired in 2026). I will be able to travel full-time in my motorhome all over Europe without having to worry about Schengen. I have friends who live in Somerset, so I will also visit many parts of the UK. I am so happy you mention exceptional build quality. It is so hard to guess those aspects from watching videos. Motorhomes in Australia are quite different. Australia is all about caravans. Motorhomes are few and far between. Kind regards, Stuart

@ Sounds like a great adventure Stuart!! You’ll have to head down to Cornwall, our part of the world, as well as there are some beautiful places to visit 😍

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMark - Will do. I have good friends I met in China who live in Chard, Somerset. I've been to visit them in 2019, and will again later next year.

Hi both, lovely to meet you too and you're more than welcome 🤗 Don't drink all that beer at once and enjoy your travels around Spain 🇪🇸

@@ShaneP32960 Hi Shane, the return trip cost us £811 but we went back via Roscoff to Plymouth and had changed our outward crossing from Portsmouth to Caen to this route so I am not sure what the one way crossing would have been. Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Andrew, no we don't remember seeing a kettle and we're sure if there was one we would have used it - we have read about people taking travel kettles onboard with them if that helps. Thanks for watching and safe travels - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi thank you so much, we appreciate that. If we remember rightly it was about 3-4 miles there and then you have to come back. We're sure there are excursions or hop on hop off buses that can get you there as well or maybe part of the way so you could walk some of it. Thanks for watching and we hope you have a fabulous time - Amanda & Mark 😍

Was a brutal challenge but with friends supporting me I got through it. Thanks mate

Great idea!! but I can’t pucker up well. Amanda can do it xx

cheers Dave I was exhausted after this series took a lot out of me,

@@briangilbert6241 Hi, this crossing was quite rough but they’re not always like that - we met people who sailed onboard a few days before who said it was like a duck pond! Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

@@cruisingthroughourlives Thanks for watching - Mark really appreciates it 😍 Not sure he’ll do it again next year though 🤣 He keeps going to do a review so we need to get on and film that one!!

Hi Michael, thank you. I think it’s a personal preference and I may have looked at in on some apps as wasn’t taken by it plus the Aire was cheaper and nearer to our friends. I’m glad you like it though and you never know we may go there one day and be pleasantly surprised 😍 Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Mick and Cath 👋🏻 Thank you so much for subscribing we really appreciate that 😊 It was quite a revelation and we did take quite a few things out before we set off on our Northern Europe trip and will have to have a swap around of stuff when we head away on our long trip as it is something we were quite worried about when we were packing up 😬 Thanks for watching - happy travels - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Richard 👋🏻 Thank you very much 😊 Pentewan is a great site down here in Cornwall especially out of peak season and Hubbox is great for food too!! Have a good time if you go and thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Jon, thanks for watching and you may be right as it would have been one battery instead of the two but it would have cost a lot more because of the additional set up. We're on our travels in Northern Europe now a s its going well 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and for commenting - Amanda & Mark 😍

Mark doesn't buy it as it's more expensive than some of their other beers 😅

@@AdventureswithAmandaandMarkvery thrifty 👍
