    What an incredible video of a stunning destination. That was proper squeaky bum driving!! Well done Jo!

      🤣 It definitely was but something I’m proud to say I’ve done and seen. They call it the Grand Canyon of France and I can see why. The birds were amazing too. I loved listening to the swoosh noise they made as they flew over x

      Aww thanks both - so glad you enjoyed it. I did the trip last September so it’s been great to watch it back. Although editing this one was a toughie as I had a foot on the imaginary break peddle 🤣

    Nervouse giggle?! How'd you escape the brown trousers??? At least you came back with both wing mirrors, heard of loads who had them clipped! Love the vlog, keep em coming!

      This has to be my favourite comment ever in the 18 months I’ve had my channel 🤣 Ironically I’ve managed to keep my wing mirrors until a recent drive in my local town of Pontefract 😳 Lost a wing and a wheel trim in the same 8 mile round trip to fill up the LPG. It’s dangerous in Yorkshire 🤣

    Great vlog jo, did you close your eyes going under that rock i know we did when we came across it and just hoped we came out the other end ok 😊 xx

      Haha it was a shocker as I drove round the corner 🤣 One to tick off the list though. Not sure I’ll ever go back there now I’ve driven it once 👍

      Thanks Christine, although I actually enjoyed the drive and the memories are fantastic, especially for the scenery and views from up the top ❤️

    Roughly what was the clearance on those overhanging rocks?? All ok for a 3m van? Or do you need to swing out to avoid,???!

    • @menopausalmotorhomer
      @menopausalmotorhomer  3 месяца назад

      Hi Leanne. All good for a 3m van (which mine is) although I did swing out. Appears the clearance is 3.60m so 60cm but I didn’t risk it as it feels to close for comfort driving the route 👍

    It would be even scarier when you are driving in the other direction on the outside lane rather than closer to the mountain wall.

    We drove the gorge back in 2011 & it didn’t seem particularly scary, however we were in a car.
    Now we drive an A class (integrated) motorhome with a height of around 3.2m, do you know what the height limit is for the gorge as one of the overhangs seemed pretty low?

    • @menopausalmotorhomer
      @menopausalmotorhomer  3 месяца назад +1

      Hi Norman. They are low in some places but I drove carefully and swung out to the opposite side. The clearance is apparently 3.6m according to Google but my instinct couldn’t allow me to test that theory out 🤣 I didn’t find it too scary in the Motorhome but then I like a challenging drive 😳

      @@menopausalmotorhomer Thanks for the reply, whilst I’d be happy to try & drive the gorge my wife has given it a resounding no.

      @normanlazarus1836 Haha that was also John’s response if I had have pre-warned him 🤣 He would have rather paid toll roads! Well at least you got to watch it in 4K and to be fair, the video is as good as it gets from the driver point of view because I hardly took my eyes off the road 👍
