Grand wee vlog folks, thank you. Yes it can be challenging especially with a MH or Campervan or Caravan. We used to stop overnight at Cite Europe in their car park, ‘attack the shops’, have a lovely meal and then to bed in the MH to catch the early shuttle, entrance about 5 mins from car park. Money spent helping the economy, but sadly no more. Car park used to be full of MH or Campervan and Caravans. Overnight camping no longer allowed and even a day stop requires someone to ‘ride shotgun’ now, so sad actually. Just don’t know what the answer is.
I know it was so handy to just be able to stop at the ferry terminal overnight we did it in Roscoff but not ever again after experiencing that. Same with the Aires so handy to just pop off motorway when tired no booking sites but after our attempted breakin when we were towing in convoy won’t do that either sad times x
We travelled back through Caen yesterday afternoon. Didn’t see any but we were on the afternoon ferry and the police were at the port. We never left our unit unattended.
Just watched this one…done that crossing many times during the day with a coach full of primary school children! Hope the cottage DIY is going well. Can’t be long before you go into the sunshine. Just done a three nighter in Malaga…would 100% recommend it for a short break!
We had it a few years ago in the pet check bit for the tunnel, it was scary. There was one on the roof of the motorhome next to us. I was scared to walk the dogs and they were staffies😮
It can be very intimidating when you see them all hanging atound in groups. Back in 2018 we stayed on a site overnight for early morning sailing with Brittany ferries from Ousterheim when we had the MH, there was a Migrant camp just outside the site, also close by was a lorry park close by saw loads trying to get on the lorries, we set off early morning and hightailed it to the ferry port trying not to stop until we made it to the safety of the ferry port, even then there were groups of Migrants hanging around
Never seen I it before so it was quite scary and yes we didn’t stop either .. security were on it but passport chap said still getting through even with lots of checking and once there in you can’t send them back x
Whoa....didnt realise it was like that with the immigrants!!...Loved watching your hols in France....Looking forward to your Canary island shenanigans in the sunshine 🌞 😻🙀.Xx
Hi Guys, we have been over few times the last 4 years and just at the centre of town at the traffic lights have witnessed them trying to jump on open car trailers and in one instance an IMMIGRANT fell flat on his face when miss timing his leap of faith to get aboard, at the camp site at start of town at the roundabout they sit amongst the trees all day and night. Usually there is plenty POLICE about couple hours before sailings. In fact we are doing the trip mid December but know all about the DINGHY DIVERS.
Hope Mark was on the top bunk. Regarding Canaries, I looked into it but everything is so expensive for January - Is it a case of booking 12 months in advance to get a decent deal (I'm no car if there so need to walk or get public transport) or is it just always as expensive as a summer holiday? I have a feeling you might have a top tip on this.
Yes Mark def had top bunk.. funnily enough we have just booked next winter 24/25 in Black Friday deals … we will be doing vlogs on this as we feel this is one of the most important things to be able to do this lifestyle… finding affordable accommodation is key xx
Something simple not to big with toilet shower possibly a converted van not to expensive.. main thing is mechanically sound Mark does all of our work on our pathfinder that he can so hopefully same with van.
Scary yes. But call them what they are. An invading fighting age army of men. It will end in blood and soon. The faith conquers all who do not submit. Glad you are safe.

How much are 200 cigarettes in spain?.i remember back in early 2000s 200 cigs cost between £8 &£12 for 200.
We bought some for our neighbour off the ferry from France last month £54.50 for 200 … glad we don’t smoke xx
In Spain, Marlboro/Lucky Strike/Fortuna/Camel are €5.60 per pack or duty free at the airport €47.00 per carton
Love your videos so natural
Thanks x
What campervan do you have in mind???
Something simple not to big with toilet shower possibly a converted van not to expensive.. main thing is mechanically sound Mark does all of our work on our pathfinder that he can so hopefully same with van.
They tried to push my wife and I off the motorbike..
I thought your going to Spain this time of year why are you coming back to Uk instead of going
No not yet as only allowed 90 days so sadly can’t go for whole 6 months , Canary bounce starts in Dec till March
Hello, silly question but do they ask for your driver's license at customs or is a passport sufficient enough ? Thank you
Just passport x
Who slept on the top bunk?? 🤣
Mark lol😃
There everywhere 😡
*They're

All good now Gavin x
Nobody needs this crap with the ferry rats, it’s disgusting, but great vid apart from that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻stay safe.
I know didn’t realise how bad it is but fair play to security they were on it x
