    I enjoyed your video it bought back memories of the many times we have been in the Alps and the Pyrenees the first time is about 27 years ago in our 300 Tdi then in our TD5 and our Discovery 3 I had from 2008 always towing a 8 m twin axel caravan.
    In Spain in the Pyrenees we found ourselves on a single track road with the caravan on for 45 Km with no where to turn around but luck was on my side as we did not meet another vehicle, on the hairpin bends I was watching the caravan wheels almost going off the road. That was the best 45 Km I have ever driven in my life.
    Thank you for all your videos.

    Always SO impressed with Vera's levels of fitness!!!
    All through this small series of your Alps holiday, she's always cycling and running in this very steep landscape! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
    Also VERY impressed with Philips save when his bike slid and he saved it with the foot dab. 🙌
    What an absolutely magical holiday and beautiful memories for you all.
    Thank you so much for sharing.
    (Yes, i realise I'm about 2yrs late to the party, but I've watched all your current stuff, so I'm making my way through the back catalogue).

    Thank you for sharing your lovely family holiday with us. Fantastic scenery! Your LR eating up the trackways... The nearest I ever got to doing this was taking a BMW K75 motorbike over the old Splugen Pass from Italy to Switzerland about 30 years back. At least that had a tarmac road, but it was still quite adventurous for me. The poor bike was coughing from the altitude, I had no idea how to adjust it!

  • @ProducerCliff
    @ProducerCliff 3 года назад

    That was such a nice video to watch. The climb up the rocky glacier (I presume) looked hard and I kept thinking Why? But then Vera said there was a hut selling hot sausages and then it all made sense!! When I was (I think) living near Celle I bought a new Vitara soft top and drove down through Germany and through into Italy all the way down to the south. One Italian guy said the Vitara looked like a white shoe it was so small. When I got back to Celle I traded it in straight away for a new Nissan Patrol because I was going to Glastonbury Festival and I could sleep in the Patrol. (I was between Land Rover products at the time).

I have just showed her your gravel driving and she said never again !! Is this why they prefer the Bikes ? More chance of survival. Need to get that guide book.
    You mentioned you saw a lot of Jeeps because you where near Turin is that because Chrysler own Jeep and Fiat ?

    Nice video, but i have a tip for Christian... When in Low gear, if you select gravel-grass-snow on Terrain Response, the disco will ride smoother due to opening of the pneumatic crosslink valves... looking at you instrument panel, if you can read the external temperature it means that no special program of TR is selected :-))

      👍 I'll try. We are actually old fashioned when it comes to navigation. Our Roadbook gives us the town and intersection where the entrance to the pass is, and then it's all by description. I will put a summary of all the passes with entrance in the community section soon.They are all very famous under European offroaders and easily to locate. 🙋‍♀️ Vera
