Vanlife in the Picos Mountains took a crazy turn!
We carry on our journey across Spain to the North, this time we have a few mishaps along the way. One was unpreventable and the other was entirely our stupidity! Lessons learnt.
First Stop The Castle of Villafuerte de Esgueva. It's located at the top of a small hill on the outskirts of the Valladolid town of Villafuerte de Esgueva , dominating a good part of the valley.
Garci Franco de Toledo, a noble descendant of converted Toledo Jews, inherited the town from his father and ordered the construction of the stately castle in 1472. Here we park up for a night in peace and quiet.
2nd Stop the Stunning Picos de Europa National Park. Stunning mountains and Riano Reservoir. A very sad story her...

How long is the box? They never tell you and it really matters.
phew I was nervous coming down that mountain. What a beautiful place. Sad story. The views you were able to see were stunning. New Subbie here. We daily vlog too.
@@THErealBRITSofFlorida it was very hairy. Welcome to our channel. We don't blog weekly, monthly or regularly on RUclips but do it when we want or have a story to tell. I blog everyday nearly on Facebook..nice to meet you and I'll check out some of your blogs too 👍😘🚛🙏
It is so cool!
Urghhh guys that road scared the life outta us! However, you found some beautiful locations 💜🚚
We do find some nice places but that was silly of us to go off track up the mountain. All good and we got down safe. See you soon at another fest hopefully 🙏👍🐾🚛
yes
yes
Wow! You did an awesome job! Some great space saving ideas in there. What a beautiful home 😍
Thankyou 👍😘🚛🐾
The roads to the castle are not too bad , normal roads. The road to the lake was narrow and gravel and a little scary. In the description it tells you the location 🚛🙏😘👍
Can I ask for the location of your stopover? Are the roads ok? Thanks in advance
What wonderful places , throughly enjoyed the pictures.❤
Glad you enjoyed. We are currently working on loading two more videos of the trip 👍😘🚛🙏
Hi your van is great we are currently doing out a daf lf45 7.5 tonne just struggling to find insurance due to engine size may I ask who you use please thank you
Hi. We started off with A plan and then we went to Adrian Flux. We change every year and depends on the quotes. We are classified as 'motorcaravan' now which helps 👍👍👍
Spent my childhood holidays in Pencnwc Newquay. Its still my favourite part of the world.
"Promosm"
Looks amazing❤
Saw your beautiful lorry parked in Menorca, near Binibèquer Vell, and was interested... nice video. Have lots of fun 😊
Awwe should have popped by. Always happy to meet new faces. 5th year full time and been coming to the island for over 50 years as we have family and friends here and dad had a house here in Binibeca. Here for one day then moving to the other side of the island for a few nights 🙏🙏🐾🚛😘 the lorry has changed quite a bit from this video . We really need to do a new one 👍
Omg wow! Imagine having your window blown out but the view being a beautiful ocean, with the sounds of the waves and the fresh breeze. Wow. Even though you gotta get it fixed’ it’s a beautiful scenario! God bless🤪
Beautiful. I wish i was there too.
It is very quiet and peaceful and we are here alone with just the cows and nature around us 👍🚛🙏🐾😘
Exelent build. Do you have problems with ballancing the weight on the truck?
No no problems. Been full time for over 4 years now and it seems to be ok 🐾🚛🙏👍
@@FlorryTheLorry that's great. I'm considering the same project what milage your truck is giving you if it's not a secret 🙂
@@alexybodom it does about 18mpg when we are careful and other times 16 👍🙏🚛🐾
Oooh that looks lush! We were near there last year. Hoping to get there this year ❤ we are about 5 hours away from Spain at the moment, looking forward to getting to a beach! ❤ fab video guys 😊
It's our home base . They've had lots of problems with motorhomes there recently. We are lucky we have lots of private land we can stay on and restauranteurs who have car parks too. Our Menorcan friend who is also full time vanlifer and works there got fined 1000 because she was parked on Costa land. They are sadly clamping down because they got too many this summer. Be careful as most the land near the beach is costa land . Punta prima and the middle of the island es mercadal is the only official places motorhomes can stay and only 48 hours. Check out the link below 👍🇫🇷🙏🐾 www.miteco.gob.es/es/costas/temas.html
Awh absolutely love your space! Ours looks sooo small after watching this😂 ❤
It's definitely not small 🙏🐾👍🚛😘
That seems so big.. maybe it's cuz my van is 19 ft B250.. That's definitely seems longer. Seems more like a class c
Hello, I'm considering buying a converted 7.5 tonner for myself, to live in it full time. Could you tell me how did you insure yours, with what company? Also what's the roadtax on it and do you need tachograph? Thank you.
We are classified as a motorcaravan so insurance isn't too bad. road tax is same a motorcaravan road tax . Off hand I think it's £120 per year 🚛👍
We follow on Instagram, can't believe we have only just found you on YT! ❤👌
We do a few shorts and sometimes when I have time I try to post a video 🐾👍🙏🚛😘
Hello! May I ask you how did register this lorry ? Thank you ! Can you please tell me the procedure ? Thank you !
We followed the guidelines of the DVLA and got her registered as a motorcaravan 🙏👍🚛😘
Hi what length is the box on your lorry. I’m thinking of doing one like yours. I have a Xlwb transit we converted few years ago. (@mabletheminibus ) but looking to go bigger. Many thanks Dean.
The length of the box is 6m and in total we are 8m long with the cab. Good luck and remember a lorry conversion is really different to a van. You have loads of space under the lorry to fit big water tanks and lpg tanks so don't need to have small ones. Water is always the first thing needing to be topped up 🙏🚛👍🐾
I love a lot about the look of it but I think it could have built a lot better.
Its defintiely not perfect but it's still going and we are in it full time for the 5th year running on the move every few days so it's done pretty well. Lots we would change and do different but it works so we are happy 🙏🤞🐾👍🐾
❤
👍👍🐾🐾🐾🐾
Do people still live in the cave houses today?
No. Some of them are used for holiday day places to go to, like beach houses. Some owned and done have been left and not used for years. 👍👍🚛🐾🙏
I am beyond excited, will be there on Sat 6th May for 2 weeks. Check-in at Comitas - chill eat & drink, Sun - chill / Cafe Royal & Santi's and then it's time to hit Sant Luis eateries and Club Menorca / Bar Camacho. The Fermin used to be run by Jose but he now or did 4yrs ago work with his brother at The Faro.
Thanks for replying. Always exciting coming back to Menorca . Enjoy 🙏🙏🐾🚛👌👍
Living in a truck is still called "Vanlife" ?
Son Bou is such an amazing place!
Yes it's gorgeous 🥰
If I remember correctly it was possible to drive closer to the beach in the early 70's.
Yes, I think there was a road but it's all private now down to the beach. 🙏🐾👍🚛
It looks as though there’s a tree growing under the water from the beach. Beautiful ❤
Its such a beautiful place. Glad you enjoyed it Eve 🚛🐾🙏👍😘
We jave so much space envy 😭
Awww. We do like the space we have and the fact we are still well under weight 😘🐾🚛🙏👍
@@FlorryTheLorry nice 👍
This made me happy this morning :)
I'm so glad!😘😘👍🚛🙏
I wish i could live like you when i grow up a bit more. By the way, what was the prize of that van?
🙏🚛👍
That long window is double glazing? Did you do a frame around it? How is about water tank and how do you heat the water?
Not double glazed 👍🚛🙏
What is the model of your truck, engine size? Was it12 ton oryginally?
Its a Daf LF45 7.5 never a 12 🙏🚛👍
Fantastic, well done. Would be amazing to see more technical details about your motorhome. How to do a mot abroad? How much cost you a ferry?
We hope soon to do a more technical tour of the lorry. We come back to UK for MOT yearly 🙏🚐🐾😘
Beautiful video❤
Thank you 🙏😘🚛
Bloody rain will get in anywhere it can fitted my diesel heater now
Awww no 🚛
Awww no ?
@@Meandmissy thought you said rain got into the diesel heater. 🚛🐾👍
@@FlorryTheLorry Oh no sorry meant the leak you still got just added to that that I’ve fitted a diesel heater now
@@Meandmissy hope it works well. We had one for a year but ours kept breaking so we gave up on the cheap Chinese doesled heater and now have a propex heater runs off the gas. Mostly we use the wood burner when it's cold 👍🚛🐾🙏😉
Can’t believe that lovely blue sky how much longer does the weather stay like that for over there seems like ages since I saw you on the drove at Stonehenge
It was the 11th September we were at the Drove, celebrating with friends our wedding anniversary. In France in September this year it was gorgeous and still hot as we set south 👍🙏🐾🚛😘
Yes that’s when I meet you both there I’m the guy with missy the red setter
@@Meandmissy oh yes. They were lovely. Hope you're well. We hear in the UK it's been good too 😘🚛🐾👍🙏
Yes I’m good thanks Been down to Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth today took Missy on the beach you two look well and rolo looks like he’s been having fun in that river
That was awesome. Did you two ever think you would do something like this? I would never! I admire you both. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
Never but it was well worth it and a fantastic experience. Glad now that we did it 😘🙏🚛🐾👍
Enjoyed this very much. Looks fabulous! Lots of good ideas for we newbies 🙂
Aww glad you enjoyed. We should have videod it but just didn't really think about social media and others wanting to see these things at the time. 😘😘🙏👍🐾🚛
Haha Chris said yeah bark! Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Glad I came across the channel! I move in my van in 2 weeks! I’m in South Carolina ❤️
Food luck from across the seas 🐾👍🚛🙏
Big hugs to each of you ❤️
To you too and hope we will catch up with you in the summer 😘🚛🐾👍🙏
Hi, I have a 7.5 ton DAF LF 45 that's now registered as a motor caravan. I'm struggling with insurance. Can I ask who you have insurance with and a guide price. Mines a 2012 reg I've been told a few times the engine is too big at 4.5lt lol. I think they think it's a sports car. Regards
Feel free to email us at info@florrythelorry.com and Chris will let you know. Used different ones 👍👍
Hi. Can you tell me , is florry the lorry registard as a camper/ rv. ?
She's registered as a 'motorcaravan' which is the same as all motorhomes 👍👍🚛🐾
So nice
