Ah, I am so jealous of that fantastic weather guys! Ok, not the mist, but the Spain sunshine! I am missing biking right now so much, I would love to have a couple days like this so I can just go out!
We went out on the bikes 2 days ago…we haven’t been on them for a while, so needless to say we have sore bums at the minute 🤣🤣🤣 The better weather will soon be here 👍😍
@@TheBabblingBrookes Ah i am soooo jealous :D but yeah, my butt is not used to biking, even when I bike all the time, probably never gets used to it :D The limit for me on how much I can bike is basically how long my butt can handle :D
Oh yes, blue skies and shorts!! How jealous are we. Looks like you two are living the dream. Valencia looks beautiful, we’ve not been there. Enjoy that sunshine! 🍻
Valencia is well worth a visit, but we are definitely more nature and scenery lovers 🤣 The shorts are staying on till the end of February….hopefully 🤪🤣😍
Lovely video, it brought back memories of our recent visit to Cambrils & Valencia. I'll bear that Zaragoza aire in mind for the next time we are down that way.
Definitely the Zaragoza aire is one to discover and explore. We would have stayed 2 nights if it hadn’t been so foggy there, as it’s so easy to access and the tram stop is right in front of the aire 👍😍
Hi Guys, looks like you are getting to grips with the life of leisure. Valencia looks really nice, we are enjoying keeping up with your grand tour. All the best Bryan and Dawn
Hi Bryan and Dawn, we are loving this new pace, but still not got used to not needing to be up at 5am, hence currently writing this at 05:15 🤣 Valencia was beautiful, but a lot bigger than we thought 😍
😂😂😂 Always makes us laugh when we are in shorts and the Spanish are in their overcoats. Valencia is an amazing City ,worth coming back in March for the Las Fallas Festival - the best party you'll ever attend. See you in the next one. H and M
Its so funny being in shorts when everyone is in jeans and coats 🤣🤣 Valencia will have to wait until March 2024 now thanks to Brexit rules 😢But yes will be back, Nomadic Camping had the best wifi ever...not even at home have we managed to upload a 13 minute video in 4k in less than 2 hours 👍 Hope Portugal is as beautiful 😍
It’s always great to have some sunshine, and it’s also cold in the UK right now with very unusual temperatures of -8. So we are very glad we came to Spain 😍
Bunch of lightweights heading south for winter haha 😄 Looks absolutely fabulous Both. Have a wonderful time exploring with that sun thing in the sky. Safe Travels Both X
@@theosbornefamilyadventures we really are having the best time ever right now, very much like you have been having since you collected your caravan…lots of surreal ‘wow it’s finally here’ moments 😍🤔 Have a wonderful Christmas, and let 2023 be a year of so many new adventures for you all 🎅🏻🎄😍xx
Hi guys great to see your Vlog, agree with Derren, think Matt is ready for a break, we stopped two days in Bordeaux was so glad we did was beautiful city, we are currently in Spain now heading to Calamocha , safe trip look forward to your next Vlog xx Jade and Matt xx
Oooh your only about 170 miles from us 👍😍 Derren definitely needed to put his feet up for a few days, it’s hard going doing all that driving…but the sun was calling ☀️☀️ Safe onward journey to you both as well, and enjoy the Spanish sunshine ☀️ 😍 xx
Its a good job you did find some blue skies heading south, we were beginning to think you'd end up in Africa! Funny scene in Valencia "Watching us watching you" (name that game show!) look forward to seeing where next😀
We were going to head towards Africa, down through Portugal, but then the weather forecast started looking unsettled…just as well we didn’t as they have had flash flooding 😱 Valencia’s was so funny…I am not comfy videoing in busy places (Derren doesn’t care), but when they started standing there watching us and taking photos/filming…it was just too funny not to leave it in the video 🤣🤣
@@gatersontour your going to love it when your time comes, it’s so amazing to have the freedom. Still not got the internal work alarm out of our systems yet, just as well we love early morning sunrises 🤣😍
@@TheBabblingBrookes we can't wait. Wish it was sooner but we are going to Canada so need to wait a little longer! January 2024 house will go on the market then hopefully away by April! Whoop 🎉
Enjoy a warmer Christmas you 2, it's definitely a nice change. This will be our 4th on the trot (Although our 1st was un Vegas and that was chilly 🥶) Thanks for sharing. Willow and Lee 😊
Hi Willow and Lee 🥰 We haven’t had a Christmas at home for many years…but it was always in the U.K. somewhere before. We always wanted a warmer Christmas abroad, so this year with all the changes in our lives, we had to spend our first Christmas in Spain. Vegas sounds fun though, I haven’t been, but Derren has a few times (work travel). Cassie and Derren 😍
@@TheBabblingBrookes warmer Christmases are interesting. We spent one year in Mexico and last year in Costa Rica. It was warm, but rained a lot 😭 Enjoy a beach bbq'd turkey on Christmas day 😉
Looks good. Looking forward to the future videos as you travel. I was impressed with Derrens Quatro chocks. We've got the same and they bloody brilliant, albeit they take a huge amount of space !
Hi Jeff and Diane, those Millenco’s are like you say, are absolutely bloody brilliant👍👍 We bought ours 6 years ago, and they are ‘very well used’. They do take some space up but we normally use them every time we park, oh and I (Cassie) am such a professional with them now that I know exactly how to level up perfectly everytime, first time 😜👍😁
Hi guys, looking forward to seeing where you get to on your travels. Maybe you could use” what three words” to pinpoint where you stay or interesting places you find. We’re hoping to do the same next year so all the tips help . Thanks, have a brilliant time😊
Hi and thank you 😍 We are plotting our full route on Polar Steps, which includes the full route we are taking, plus all the locations and WTW for each site, along with photos. So this will be available in full at the end of our travel 👌😍 Have a wonderful Christmas 🎅🏻🎄😍
Valencia is beautiful isn’t it, lots of great architecture to see. We have just spent the last 24 hours prebooking some sites to cover the Christmas period, everywhere is so busy 😱😍
Really enjoyed this video not so much seeing you both in T shirt and shorts while we’re freezing our butts off 🤣🥶 Valencia looked great despite the crowds love the architecture ❤ travel safe guys xxx 😘
Thank you Mark and Debs, and T-shirts and shorts……are absolutely totally necessary 🤣😜😜🤣😜 Honestly though there are still rainy days, but it’s still pleasant temperatures. It does drop off cold at night though….giving away all the spoilers now lol 😜🤣👍❤️😍xxxx
@@TheBabblingBrookes pleasant temperatures sounds great 🤩 we hope you both have a lovely carefree Christmas wherever you park up for your Christmas dinner - I’m sure it will be fabulous 🎄😃safe travels 🥰😘 xxx

Hi Gary and Mallissa 😍 Hope you got sorted with the breakdown eventually…10 hour wait 😱😳😱 My hands are stopping very still from now on 🤣🤣🤣 Keep safe and hope you back on your travels round Anglesey again 😍xx
Yay you escaped the -9C we endured today! Looks lovely, well done on getting to the coast. Didn’t realise the snow chains were actually a legal requirement! 😱 five nights in Valencia, a well deserved stop after that long drive! Yay continental Lidl, cant beat it! ❤ expensive to spend a penny in Valencia! Love the travel card, what a smashing idea! The rain in spain falls mainly on Valencia unless Cassie gets that edit in! What do you want? 😂😂 Done practically every inch of Spain over several years of very long road trips! Our favourite Cities? Segovia and Granada by a massive mile. A lot of the others we round the windows up, admired touches of architecture and just kept driving.. Cant wait to see where you guys land next. Keep smashing xx
Minus 9 🥶🥶🥶 yikes 😱 Yes France is a legal requirement, if you get stuck and have no winter tyres or snow chains then the fine and charge is huge, along with the recovery cost, just the same as a random spot check and you can’t produce the chains…big fine. 5 days rest was needed, think we are going to stop at places 3/4 days now, give a chance to explore…if we manage to secure somewhere for Christmas 🤣😱 everything is full.. They sound interesting cities, may have to look into these further if they are recommended but the wonderful Gen X for sure 👍😍xx
@@TheBabblingBrookes gosh wouldn’t even know how you begin to learn these legal requirements! You can imagine them spreading to even us at some point, especially given that there has been an accident on every single road in these parts over the last few days. 3/4 days is a nice amount of time for each place. In our roadtrip days think we did 2/3 but then your always afraid to unpack! Im sure you will find somewhere just perfect for Christmas 🤞♥️
Oh wow. You made it down away South really quickly. We’ve been following on Insta but we didn’t realise how far you drove in a couple of days. How wonderful to have 18 - it was -10 here pre dawn this morning 🥶🥶🥶🥶 You guys made the right call believe us - it was seriously crazy cold this am. Valencia looks really interesting even though it’s the big city. Enjoy the Sun, you deserve it and don’t spare a thought for us poor **** freezing our **** off. 😃😃😃 Seriously though what a trip!!!!!!! Looking forward to where you go next and well done on the editing and posting from the road 👏👏👏👏 Just great stuff Derren and Cassie
Awe thank you what a really lovely comment 😍 We we’re going to go to Portugal, hence the other reason for going down the west side of France, but the weather forecast wasn’t looking great, and thankfully that spur of a moment change was the best decision, as Portugal has been experiencing really heavy rainfall and flash floods 😱 -10….how crazy, but then the predictions were that it was going to be a harsh winter due to the wonderful summer we had. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get much harsher for you, however a white Christmas would be beautiful 😊😊😊 Valencia was mad busy, and it’s really nice to now be away from a big city 👍😍 and editing on the road is ok on the long stretches without my navigation skills being needed…or the need to stretch out for a toll ticket…why they make them so difficult to reach I don’t know 🤣🤣 Take care, and hopefully not too much gets frozen off 🤣😜👍😍
18 degrees, that's my kind of temperature. I don't do hot lol. Loads of vans there, although we saw that many in Chester 😂 Funny, you two in shorts, and the locals in winter coats 😆 We're not country people but we don't like busy as you probably know by now.😁
18 degrees is perfectly comfortable enough to walk about in and not get sweaty, although all the locals are wrapped up as if we are in the Antarctic 🤣🤣 We know you don’t do busy, very much like us, and we were expecting it with Spain, but if we had the battery/solar back we would go off grid it - so many opportunities to park up here 👍😍😍
Valencia looked fab Cassie don’t blame Derren for wanting a few days away from the wheel (1300 miles is a lot of driving ) but definitely worth it 😊🙏🏼 Stay safe guy’s excited to see where you go nxt 👍😊 Best wishes Simon
Hi Simon, hope you are well 😊 1300 miles was a lot to drive, and Derren did exceptionally well in the sometimes tough conditions 👍😍 I am looking forward to where we go next as it’s Christmas,then new year, then 3 kings festival over the next 3 weeks 🎄🎅🏻🎉🤴
Hi, the one I had when I was editing? I bought that from Menkind in Canterbury just before we left as knew I needed something other that my legs 🤣 £20 and they do have an online store. I got this one as it was far bigger than the other ones I have seen 😍
Lovely video! Hope Derren is enjoying the break from driving 😎 Wonder if you’ll be on someone else’s you tube channel 🤣 I can see it now, look at these English people in shorts 🩳 in 19 degree, they must be mad! 🤭 Enjoy, Em 🎄
Hi Em 😍 Derren is currently kicking back and chilled. Been at the same site for 4 days, moving day tomorrow for an epic 40 minute drive 🤣🤣 Would love to know if we made it on any other channels….more than likely not though 🤣🤣🤣😍 xx
Hi Derren and Cassie, glad you got down there in one piece, we travelled through France to the Alps in December once, it was rather magical as the whole country was covered in this very thick frost, looks gorgeous against the blue skies. Valencia is a beautiful city lots of lovely architecture, we were there a couple of years ago, only for a day though, it was a stop over on a cruise, recognised a lot of the places in your video and passed that fountain you were stood by on the coach. Funny seeing you in a sun top Cassie after leaving chilly France, is it a shock to the system when there’s such a temperature change? I love your accent Derren, what part of the country are you from?
Hi Tracy, bet that was very beautiful to see the Alps like that. We dodged the mountains, purely due to tyres and snow chains requirement, but hopefully will visit them someday. Valencia is hugely stunning, but so busy...it was much quieter on the Monday than the Saturday though. Would we return here? Probably not, although the site we stayed on had the best wifi speeds we have ever experienced 👍 It was a bit of a shock to the system, as one minute it was thick cold fog up in the mountains, then literally in a second we had come through it and the sun was shining, so we were absolutely melting when we got to the first site 🤣 Derren is from Retford originally, which is in North Nottinghamshire 😍xx
We are blooming loving life right now….even putting up with Derren 24/7 is going alright 🤣🤣🤣 Those shorts are going to be worn out, knackered by the end of the next 3 months 👍👍👍😜🤣
Easy to get it wrong on foreign roads. When I was 18 I pulled out of a French petrol station and was thinking who is this idiot coming towards me on the wrong side of the road flashing his lights. Then I realised I was the idiot on the wrong side of the road. Chris.
Love watching what you get up to. Keep the videos coming.
Awe thank you, best decision we made for sure 😍
