  • Have you ever fancied towing to Spain but maybe a little worried to give it a try? We would love to help out and if your free this November to travel from Poole on the ferry, why not come along on the Gypsy Souls Convoy through France and Spain?
    Of course you can come along virtually on our channel as we will be filming all the way down, but we are personally inviting you to join us if you fancy, all we ask is that your slightly mad, enjoy a laugh and are not shy to be on camera - cause we will get you! On this vlog we introduce you to our first couple Jo and Shayne who came down to Crealy to meet us and ask if they could join us. Having met them there just as nutz as we are - we all cant wait!!
    They share there reasons why travelling with us will help them.
    We cant guarantee we will get everything right but we can guarantee a great time with new friends.

    Hope you all enjoy. Apart from driving on the wrong side of the road which is not a problem. Put a sticker on the dash. We had been in 1997 just with the car. 2001 with caravan and we winged it on a truck stop one night. When you get that 'I don't want to drive any more feeling' you have to pull in. We did, lots of 38 ton trucks with one space between them - had to reverse park in the dark. The food area was fantastic dependent on your age. 1960/70's works canteen absolutely brilliant. You will be fine with this nutter and her partner lol We did 2 overnight stops, one was a picnic area with lots of Brits - lets stop here, oops back on motorway. Just enjoy the experience, it will never be forgotten. Stay safe and enjoy

      Sorry to hear Stephen hope things look up for you ... our ferry timetable isnt out until mid July for Nov but guaranteed we will book as soon as the tickets are released. The good thing is we can amend our date free of charge as we dont have an exact date at the moment. We also have a voucher from Brittany ferries from last year when we couldnt make it - cant fault Brittany Ferries in our experience x

    This is a brilliant vlog, myself and hubby are toying with the idea of getting a caravan and going away for a few months and it's refreshing to see other people having the same worries that you think it's only you that had them. Would probably be much easier and cheaper just to fly and book apartments but I think caravaning seems much more exciting. Keep up the great videos. 👍

      @@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388 totally agree, I love meeting people. Had caravans for years when we were younger and was down at the beach today looking at our old caravan site, ohh I just love it. life is too short to sit and dream and do nothing. Yous had me at filling up the water and coming back hours later, I love a good ole natter to anyone I meet. Just watched one of your other vlogs about how much it cost you and I'm pleasently surprised. Myself and hubby spend that 2 weeks at xmas in Lanzarote. We love in Northern Ireland and wonder what's the best way to go but there's a ferry I believe from Cork to near santander so that saves us lots of ferries across to Scotland and so forth. Ohh I'm literally buzzing tonight watching your posts. My biggest fear is getting broken into, you should get the little alarms from amazon that you hang in your door and window handles, as soon as someone comes close to the other side of the door they sound load enough to scare them off.

      Go as far down south as poss weather is much warmer. I'd expect plenty of deals but it may be worth also looking into hotel stays as you can get winter deals including meals for a similar price... Try Fuengirola we found a great place there once in October few years back x

    TBH, whether you're a novice or an experience caravaner, security is the same in regards to being broke into, even Buck House was broken into plus you can only do so much and it should not stop anyone from going away in their van...most people will lock their house up and go away for a few week and not worry about it...

      Oh exciting... We found our caravan on the Internet with a dealer our first van was private... But if u can get fixed bed or you'll end up swopping it to one within a year... There hard work making bed up! Check for damp but do your research... That'll keep you busy for few weeks... You don't need an awning for Spain... Just a sun canopy... Recommend obelink company in Netherlands... Goid quality equipment and not expensive x
