    I first drove from the UK to Greece in 1964 aged 18. Took the ferry from Brindisi to Igumenitsa the drove up to Budapest, s great adventure then but now just routine. Great commentary on the video but what a terrible diet

    The traction pads to get out of the sand, or mud, are actually a spade as well, check the handle on the top and side. Next time maybe 😂

    A big thank you to the rescuers, so polite. I hope you can get the scorch mark sorted, cables for phones are inexpensive, your hand will heal in a week & magnets are easily replaced. Beautiful place / scenery. Thanks for sharing.x

    Another action packed video.
    Reminded me of a time when I got stuck on beach in Brittany, my life passed by eyes , I had to race against the Tide, I let the air out of my tyres dug out and put stones to get me started my wife and my young kids weren't to impressed at the time. The hardest part was blowing the tyres back up with a foot pump.
    While in Crete we pulled next to a Taverna on the beach , the owner showed us to a table, he lite the Barbeque then he jumped in his boat rowed out and back with 3 or 4 decent fish and cooked them lovely meal memory's triggered from watching your escapades in Greece .
    I would have loved to have lived there but unfortunately my wife wasn't the adventurous type.
    Nicx

      Mont St. Michel, by chance? You're not alone. I used to drive tour coaches and one time I saw a fellow coach driver- a supposedly professional and experienced driver- try to get his Vanhool out of the ever damp sand (the sand goes soft well before the tide reaches you). I managed to drive it out for him- he was panicking and spinning the wheels. All it needed was to drive gently, slipping the clutch and we got out.
      Thankfully you can't park anything on the beaches now- or at least couldn't last time I went. I'm off to Brittany in the new year to search for the place my parents used to take me on holiday back in the 1980s. It'll be an adventure. Best wishes.

I went to a Greek island for the first time in October, and found them very friendly and welcoming. so not surprised these guys pulled you out of the sand and expected nothing in return. Stay safe

'Don't sit on an empty chair incase there's a ghost sitting in it' and 'the pigeon is nesting' are 2 favourites 😂 A pigeon on the pigeon!! 😍 I had flashbacks to you and Becky getting stuck in the mud when the pigeon got beached! So lovely of those men to rescue you. I'm going to really enjoy catching up on your other videos! 😊
