The Pink Hotel at Disneyland Paris - and the promised update.
Always the same.......I go on holiday for a rest, and suddenly become inspired to pick up the camera and go off adventuring. I do also mention why I've been away from RUclips.

A wonderful adventure to Lydney, and then driving back through The Forest of Dean. Obviously everything went wrong, I got lost, and the very place I went to was closed. But apart from that.........

After yet another adventure gone wrong, I took a moment to have a catch up and enjoy a bit of the countryside. Oh, and nearly got stuck!

A quick catch up, and a beautiful, peaceful morning. I actually got quite sentimental - maybe a bit 'deep and spiritual'.

After what seems like an age, I've got my Mojo back, and am out making videos. But what are the chances that Rick and I would pick the 1 day of the week that both of our destinations were closed? Rick's (non identical) video: ruclips.net/video/WpwbsEGGQK8/видео.html

Flu, egg shells and my terrible memory!. - Vlog 17 10 2023
Sorry for your losses, you’re right just get in the vehicle and move forward!!! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴🏴
Very nice ideas I like it , I have my tiny micro camper which is very comfortable for me and my wife It has small kitchen with sink , 2 sofa beds ,portable’s toilet with small folding tent of course table ,shade on the side storage for cheers and outside kitchen with grill, I have also very small AC and generator small 12volt fridge and on the top I have bag on the roof to keep the other staff , all I am missing is pup up roof that will make it invisible
The older you get, the more life kicks you where its not nice! Spoken from experience .. Stay strong, and I'm looking forward to more adventures from you and (he shall not be named), in the near future. Laters' my luver ..
So sorry to hear of your losses Alex. Don’t blame you for stepping back for a little while and taking a break. Look after yourself and come back when you are ready.
Sorry for your losses Alex, it seems it’s been a rough year all round. Glad there are happy bits too.
Looks like a nice place to rest and take it easy. Even in your line of work it is hard to lose friends and people you love when they pass on. You must have an understanding partner who doesn't mind you filming her when she is chilling out!
Sorry for your Loss Alex! Your in my Prayers! Take as much time as you need! My wife and I where in Disneyland in 2017 for our Honeymoon... when your ready to come back i'm looking forward to more Rick & the Vic! Take care
So sorry for your losses and thank you for updating. x
Thank you for the update, Alex. I'm sorry to hear about your losses, and completely understand your need to take time away to rest. Enjoy your trip to Disneyland Paris. The weather looks lovely, and your hotel is great. Have fun!
Many thanks. It was a very emotional couple of months, but it all seems to be settling down a bit now. Once I'm back from holiday, I hope to be out and about again!
Thought it was indiana Jones for a second.. You got your whip Alex🤭🤠🤣
Have a lovely holiday Alex
This is like a polite version of Top Gear, cracking channel.😂👍 I think you've convinced me to go for a single boot jump for my Mpv van. More room to move around and maybe even use the loo!
Hope it all goes well.
Looking forward to listening to more of your podcasts Alex, were you ever on UC. I hated it as a kid but thought the Young Ones were brilliant.
My husbands at goodwood car show for a few days are you going to?
Good luck you will be great 🏴🇺🇸🇬🇧⚽️🐕🦺🥰
is it gonna be risky ? can it be risky .. is it gonna be political ? can it be political .. is it just gonna be about your god ? does that statement rile you ? can we suggest the wrong questions about the wrong mans ? just asking .. no capitals, no capital gain .. Honestly, kinda' looking forward to hearing from the man in the cupboard, or as some would say: the closet. Laters' my luver, .. (said in a Bristol accent.)
Hello Again Alex, I just thought I might add a comment here that I enjoyed your podcast, and that I am thrilled that you have opened up this opportunity for people to share and be a part of a community. I, too, consider myself more of a spiritual person than religious, and I have spent the past 36 years studying and learning about both. To me, it is very much all how one interprets things. I have learned so much from Dr. Joseph Campbell, noted late professor at Sara Lawrence University, amongst many other teachers. Fascinating stuff. My journey now is as a recently retired professional who has suddenly found Life very different. For me, there have been many changes over the past recent years on many different levels...and I find myself turning my mind and heart towards deeper spirituality, as a means of feeling more connected to the world around me, for the first time in many decades. Looking forward to your podcasts. Thanks again.
Excellent podcast! So thrilled to see you using the little room under the stairs! All the themes you aim to explore sound fantastic and I really look forward to the upcoming installments! Also, you could not have selected a better name. "Back in the Cassack" is just perfect.
What an interesting podcast Alex. Good 👍🏿 work.
Hi Alex is this podcast available on Apple Podcasts
Yes, it will be. When I did the podcast before it was on Apple, Deezer, spotify, amazon, google podcasts, etc. However, because I have been off the air for a year, the various platforms made me dormant on their systems. It will need a week or so to catch up and re-establish my podcast feed. Then (in theory at least) as soon as I release each episode, it will be instantly available on the various platforms (Including Apple).
Hello Alex ,this is such a good idea like a community support.I would love to hear more on your spiritual thoughts .I'm church of England but don't attend church ,I too like the freedom to observe God's creations in the world and give thanks along the way .Also interested in UK travel ,love all your videos in Elvis .xx
Many thanks as always for your kind comments. I do hope that this idea works and that we can build a community. Yes, traditional church isn't for everyone and it's nice that we can all have a freedom to connect in our own way.
That looks like a quaint little place.
Thanks Alex from San Diego😊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴
So sad re the dog. I have always had dogs ( rescue dogs ) they are fantastic company and give so much unconditional love back. 😢
Ouch......that dog story. That's so heartbreaking. I'm not sure we have many kill centres here. Like they do in the states. I think it's awful that they are on a ticking countdown in those places.
I'm not allowed to go to dog rescue centres..........I would bring them all home!
@@alexrigby-dailypilgrim1351 I couldn't go there either. How do you choose?
Some people are incredibly rude. I woukd be cross too.
what a nice kind man you are. I shed a tear when I heard the story of the little dog. Have a happier day.
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, i'm still thinking about the dog even now
Thanks for the update Alex, sadly we all get our fair share of yahoos on our travels these days!
It does just mean that I need to find another base for the time being. It will get quieter after the summer.
That's a shame gives other motor home dwellers a bad name then the pubs may have second thoughts about allowing them to use the facilities.
Yes, they will eventually. Spoil it for all of us.
What a lovely little catch up. Thank you Alex ❤☕️🙏
Thanks for watching, I am trying so hard to keep little updates coming
Oh goodness I hope I never see that picture of the dog. I keep saying it and will always say it “some people do not deserve the love and loyalty of a dog” or any other pet to be honest. It breaks our hearts when we lose a dog and each time I say not getting another and the. Several months later Im training a puppy 😂
Catch up caught up - cheers! Dogs (??) Yup! - Mine are my life .. sad really, but there you go! - And there you're gone ..
Nice little catch-up Alex ,enjoy your weekend trip away .
Thanks - Will do!
Lovely video, Alex. I currently own an Elgrand, had 2 years of fun with it but now ready to purchase a new coach build - for all the reasons you mention in your vid. 😊
I still miss my Elgrand. However, it is actually cheaper on fuel to drive my motorhome than it was to drive the Elgrand. Wonderful memories, but I am sure you will find that once you take the step to a motorhome, you will never look back!
That was a fun day out! Can't beat a ramble around and seeing what's out there to discover! I think that sign at the start must lead onto Clarkson's farm. He's surely the only farmer eccentric enough to weaponise ostriches! "This is why a gentleman shouldn't... Bugger!" -Could be on a t-shirt! 😂 If it's any consolation though, if you had been trapped on the bridge it looks like a great spot to pitch a tent! Mind you, you seem to have dragged half the topsoil in the area into Elvis!
I think my 'Tenting' days are over - unless, it is in the Clarkson style!
Great video, happy birthday 🎁🎉🎊🎂🎈
Thank you.
For those poor souls who have nothing else better to do (me), I decided to track down the forested road, 'Y' junction crossing, that was combined with the stone bridge. Delving deep into Google Maps, the (not simply) exercise took the the better part of two hours, but from my sniffing, then I can report that this is what Alex found, is famously called the Blackpool Bridge, ..

(link provided) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_of_Dean_Central_Railway Thank you Alex for an interesting evening ..
Oh' and BTW, .. Happy Birthday again ..
Great video Alex and very informative. I love the convenience and comfort of a Motor Home. At the moment I have a self built VWT6 which we dearly love and it has taken us to some truly wonderful places and has given us experiences that I wouldn’t have imagined possible for us. Mine has been a post illness project which has been very beneficial in my recovery and life after illness. Mine has become my comfort blanket if you like, my safe place. As my illness left me with a reminder of out battle it does sometimes leave me with an embarrassing problem. Our van gives me the confidence that I can get out of the way and sort myself out and change. Hopefully one day we will upgrade to a coach built MoHo but for the moment our little van serves us well.
Thanks for the comments. I will admit that we were very fortunate to be able to get the motorhome. But we still look back at our Nissan Elgrand with some fondness. I know what you mean about a safe place. As I write this I am suffering with a virus, yet very happy to sit in the motorhome and ride out the storm. I am glad you are enjoying your adventures still - where is next on your 'visiting list'?
@@alexrigby-dailypilgrim1351 Although we have a long weekend off work after the election we have no real plans yet. The next real big trip most likely be Scotland in November with a group of friends. Other than that we have no real plans so I guess it’ll be wherever we fancy at the time. Have you got any plans?
I would love one but I would be worried parking up and leaving it and going off for the day in case it’s burgled
I have a very good alarm on Elvis. I also have a tracker! I too am fearful every time I live it, so when I am traveling and going out and about, I only leave the bear essentials on board!
You will have to drive to Northumberland it’s a beautiful area xx enjoy your birthday 🎉
It's on my list! I suspect that as the schools are about to break up very shortly, I will probably wait until September before 'adventuring properly'. That having been said, I have a couple of trips lined up over the next 8 weeks!
Someone's getting productive after your winter-spring procrastination period. Well done Alex, more travelling and prognostication stuff please ..
I'll try!
11 months !!! Wow that went by fast. Elvis is a lovely vehicle Alex, enjoy every second of owning him.
Well he was baptised with Hornet's blood! And yes, it did!
Sometimes the nicest adventures are ones where you just take in the vista's, go nowhere in particular to do nothing in particular, and just enjoy things on the fly...! I was thinking about that bridge, and I wondered if it wasn't just a farmers installment to get from one field to another at one time or a carriage way for the 'muckety mucks' that once lived in the area?? lol ...Perhaps there was a stream or waterway at one time? Anyway, thanks for the little trip. Beautiful day. Quiet. You are indeed a very blessed man...
II agree. The adventures that we don't plan, or in my case I do plan, but then they go completely to pot, are the most memorable. I think you are right about the bridge.
@@alexrigby-dailypilgrim1351 Let me tell you about a little daytrip I planned a few days ago. There's a lovely little greenhouse about 15 minutes south down a large highway, and a glorious provincial park about an additional 30 mins as the crow flies. I packed a little snack, water, and headed towards the greenhouse first to pick up some clay pots knowing that it would be closed by the time I returned from my picnic at the park. Halfway down this busy freeway, the winds picked up gusting to 60mph(54knots) on the open prairie where I could barely keep my SUV stable! A livestock semi truck got hit by the gale and had careened into the middle ditch! Needlesstosay, my little trip got cut short as I turned right around and drove white-knuckled back home...arrived home shaken needing a cup of strong sweet tea! We have had the most incredible gales this Spring, and it's been a real cool start to the season!
Two video's in one day, Alex? Wonderful! Anyway, just wanted to say that I have been watching motorhome videos for the past few months in contemplation of renting/purchasing one. Your presentation here was by far the best I have seen so far! And I have seen many! When I first saw your motorhome last year, I thought it was magnificent. I can see why you prefer the opposite couches for visitors, but I would much rather prefer a pair of theatre recliners. This unit is perfect size for driving, nice interior with options for sleeping, decent sized bathroom and shower, all the mod coms required for an extended time traveling in all kinds of weather. This is simply perfect for impromptu get-aways, or planned long haul trips. Thank you for doing this! Well done!
Thank you for your lovely comments. Yes, the opposite sofa arrangement is great for days out (Rick and the Vic style, usually). I know what you mean about the theatre recliners; the front seats do pivot round, so i am not plotting a drop down cinema screen! Thanks for planting the seed of that idea, I might have to have a look!
@@alexrigby-dailypilgrim1351 I saw these double theatre seats as an option in one of the motor-homes I reviewed, and I thought it was incredible. Great for even just taking a little afternoon nap and can be a comfortable spot for watching TV on those rainy days.
Great adventure it was nice seeing you enjoy your day Ty for the video
Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, it was a very enjoyable day. Nothing happened - obviously, but a very pleasant trip out!
Very well.filmed and informative Alex
Thanks Pippa (one tries, you know!)
Is the strange bridge in the Forest of Dean?
Yes it is. Somewhere on the road between Parkdean and Coleford I think. I did find it by chance, so am not 100% sure exactly where it was.
The trick is Alex to never know what age you are expected to know better, just enjoy silliness and having fun. What a great way to spend a birthday, being out of phone signal works for me.
I musty confess that I love being out of signal range. The only thing is, as I have said many times before, working whilst out and about is sort of what make it all work. Running our little clinic from the road (and organising funerals) pays for the lifestyle. Unfortunately, people seem to want to be able to get hold of me!
@@alexrigby-dailypilgrim1351 Ahh yes the work malarkey it can get in the way occasionally. Have you thought about a mobile router with external antenna? That can give a more reliable connection when you’re away from strong signal areas, it’s the external antenna mounted on the roof that makes the difference.
@@alexrigby-dailypilgrim1351 we have a afternoon planned this weekend local to us so no camping involved. The Community Of The Resurrection have an open day, the church they have is beautiful with its chapels inside and the grounds they have are equally beautiful with an interesting amphitheater. The grounds are so peaceful to walk around. Unfortunately it would probably be a long trek for you just for an afternoon out.
