Thank you!! 🙏🏻

🤣🤣

The prices have gone up and up. We got ours for £20k but now you’d be lucky to get one for less than £40k. It’s an 18t rigid, so Cat C license.

Couldn’t agree more, we just had to do it and what a blast it was! 🙌

Max torque kicks in at around 1800-2400rpm.

Sure! Countries with tollbooth toll roads we take if we want to move more quickly. If not, we route around them. Slovenia had an eVignette but for trucks it’s like the Bulgaria one I think where you need to get a box in the cab. Since we were only in Slovenia for a couple of days we skipped it and routed around the toll roads - Sygic has an option to avoid toll roads in routing. It’s really case by case - we don’t want to drive toll roads as they’re mostly boring, so if we can avoid them we will. But if we’re aiming for a specific point and can use a toll road easily, then maybe we will. It’s ironic that the toll boxes are meant to be easier, and if you live there, they are. But if you’re passing through it’s a bit of a pain compared to a tollbooth on the road! 🤷‍♂️

@@globaltraces Thank you very much for the info👍

I’ve heard of this screwdriver trick with these locks, but with half the key in there I didn’t think it would work. And besides, having an excuse to get the power tools out is always welcome!! 🤣🤣🙌

It’s a very good point. Unfortunately there are some bad apples in the cart who dump black waste, leave rubbish everywhere and seem to actively avoid trying to put anything in to the local economy and they give everyone else a bad name. The flip side is that some people just don’t like campers - they’ve chosen, or have been lucky enough, to live in a beautiful area and they don’t want it crawling with tourists making it hard for them to go about their daily lives. It’s a very tough balancing act. In Slovenia’s defence - they do have commune-provided camper parking spaces in some areas to help bring campers to the area. Kranj was one of two such places we stopped in as we went through.

Yeah, Dave has been flying a DJI Avata 2 FPV for a little bit now and he’s getting better and better with it, but in his words “so much more learning to do!” Makes a change to the more common drone scenic shots that he shoots on the Mini 3 Pro. “Fixing things in beautiful places” 🤣 I think we’ll be re-using that line somewhere down the road 🙌🙌🤣

We look forward to seeing your journey when you get going! 🙌

🤣🤣🤣 not Duncan Goodhew… genius!!

🙏🏻🙏🏻 Keys are definitely not like what they were in the “good old days” that’s for sure!

Which is why in Slovenia we only parked in actual commune provided camper parking places rather than wild camping. And is also why we moved through Slovenia quickly.

Let this lovely family enjoy travelling. I park everywhere in slovenia and never had issues. Only Kevin, like you, ruins our adventures 🎉😂

Dave is slowly getting the hang of FPV and it’s such a cool perspective. And Isla is loving her bike 🥰

You totally have to go to those Austrian mountains!

🤣🤣 It’s so that! It’s just a never ending list of things that need attention.

Thanks, Nigel! :-) 🙏🏻

Thanks, David!

This is good to hear! There’s so much about “life on the road” and trying to figure out what everyone wants to know is hard, so mixing in bits of different things hopefully keeps it interesting. 🤞🙏🏻

Us too actually!!

It was a very busy week, but all the better for it!

Noted! We will do a full in-depth service at some point, but since we went through it this time quite quickly with limited time we couldn’t do the whole thing in detail.

It’s a good suggestion… maybe we’ll give it a go 🤣 More Otis next week… 🤞🤞

Thanks, Istvan!

OiOi!!

The strudel was delicious indeed… and we may have eaten more than one helping in the days we were there!! 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the content and Dave’s pictures and videos. Thanks for subscribing too 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@globaltraces You are welcome! 😃😃

Yeah they do… but normally about three times faster than Bebe’s top speed too 🤣🤣

Thanks, Wagner! We spent a while deliberating over music for this so glad someone picked up on it!

Thanks, Sue 🙏🏻

Thank you! Maybe we should drop them a line!

Do it! It’s incredible!

Thanks so much, Wagner! Dave is quite handy with a camera and when he gets chance he turns in some pretty impressive pics (just don't tell him I said that!) If you want to see more....there's a mid-week special about to drop ;-) Extra Otis was just for you! If you know where to find some of those extra 200k subscribers we'd be very grateful! 🤞

Many thanks! 🙏🏻

Awww thank you! 🙏🏻 glad you did!

Cheers, Tom. I keep trying and taking a lot of pictures and some of them turn out alright 🤣

@globaltraces Sure one day it'll catch on! Keep trying! 🤣

Aren’t they just?! Thanks guys 🙏🏻 The chairlift was hilarious up and down 🤣 for Oti especially. You’ll have all this to come with Nala 🥰

Yes, we do keep a close eye on him running around in high places. He’s pretty good on his feet but also a bit of a doofus so we keep him away from big drops. 🙏🏻

Thank you! We try to keep it fresh and interesting and the Dolomites seemed like an ideal place for a longer video! :-)

Thank you! 🙏🏻

It’s a combination of Park4Night, iOverlander and Google Maps, as well as recommendations from other overlanders we meet. Usually we’ll consult the first two and then depending on the location, explore around a bit if we can.

Fantastic ❤

Awww thanks guys! Lots more Isla cam to come in the future as she gets more keen to wear it! She just told us, while walking, to “get the camera out because this is going to make awesome video…!” 🤣🤣

Real Italian Gelato is out of this world!! 🤤 Hope you enjoyed Otis running st the end! We thought of you when we put it in!

@@globaltraces Otis is the best. His long-stride running past the camera are fantastic. He knows exactly what he's doing. What a show off 😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣👏

If you think this was epic, then wait until we get to the Dolomites!! 😍😍🙌🙌

Thanks, Istvan! Always trying too!! 🙌

Thank you for following along - you should have come and said hello! Next time you see us, definitely knock on the door! Safe travels! :-)

It’s a good solution and that’s a great range for a Landy. We fitted a reserve tank recently so with the main tank, reserve and our jerry cans we can get around 2100km which has so far been good enough to keep us in cheap fuel areas!
