Thank you so much - such an incredible place 😊

Thank you 🙏

Thank you and yes you’re right👍, we head over up towards Jasper in the next video and that is stunning. Beautiful country and thank you for watching our videos 😊

Yes I know - 😂😂😂 It was Pepsi max cherry too 🤣🤣

Hi 👋, you’ll absolutely love it 😊 When the book arrives you’ll see that 99% of the hosts do not require you to call ahead, you simply turn up. They often have time restrictions (such as please arrive before 7pm for example) of those we visited none asked us to call beforehand and we had no problem getting in. There’s a symbol next to each host stating how many vans they can accommodate and we always chose hosts with 2 or more spaces. There’s so many to choose from and they are reasonably close to each other so I I don’t think you’ll have any problems. Enjoy your trip and if you’re there end of September/October we may even see you there as well be heading that way ourselves too. Thank you for watching our videos. Sue and Steve 😎👋

Thank you Phil 😊

Great question. We used village aires en route to refill with fresh water and empty the loo, you're never too far away from a village or town that has these facilities in France. The Park4night app is great in this regard. Thank you for watching our videos and your great comment. Sue and Steve

Thank you Johnny and Ewa, France is fantastic, such a wonderful culture and amazing people. Really motorhome friendly too. Enjoy your travels and thank you for watching our videos 🙂Sue and Steve

Totally agree Ianrea 👍there’s Brit stops but nowhere near as good as France Passion. We love France, 🇫🇷 so motorhome friendly. Thank you for watching and enjoy your travels. Sue and Steve 🙂

Hi Ellen, ///repair.fascinating.airlock is the W3W location for the parking. You’ll love it 👍👍

Thank you 🙏 It was awesome 👍 Thank you for watching our videos 😊

Hi Simon, we’ve never owned a coach built so can’t comment on them really. All we can say is that the van suits us very well (for two people), it’s economical, goes down narrow roads with ease and is easy to maintain. When parked up we tend to sit outside anyway so to us, a larger vehicle would be more hassle. Hope this helps. Sue and Steve 🙂

Hi @janehirst2923, for us yes, absolutely 100% worth doing. We went for a 230ah underseat lithium battery (ecotree), plus an extra 2x 140 watt panels, all the electronics (Mppt controllers and B2B battery chargers etc) are victron. Everything was supplied by BlueFix in Hereford. It all sits neatly under the dining seat so you don’t see any wires or anything. The cost was just under 4K. We already had an EcoFlow Delta 2 so didn’t need an inverter fitting. The new leisure battery allows us to charge the EcoFlow too which is fab. We have been away 6 days so far and the battery hasn’t dropped below 91% yet and we’ve been using the electric kettle, air fryer and hair straighteners every day and of course the fridge is on 24/7. We have had the option of EHU but have declined as not needed. We’re in Spain currently though and it IS sunny. We could last maybe 2 days with the old 95ah battery fitted as standard so Lithium is a big improvement. If you want to message us privately (via Facebook) I can send you the breakdown of costs and some additional thoughts we have on the installation👍 Hope this helps. Sue and Steve

Thanks for the info I will try and PM you.

Thank you Paul 😊 It’s the first time we’ve ever seen one, incredibly cute, he just sat there having his lunch, wonderful to see 😊👍

Thank you Ian 😊

Thank you so much for your comment John, yes we love the van, it’s really perfect for the two of us. In 2023 we spent more nights in the van than we did in our own house. We’re doing a few upgrades in the next few weeks (electrical upgrades) and will post a video soon showing what we’ve done. Thank you for watching our videos 👍 Sue and Steve 😊

Hi John, yes us too, always avoided Madrid - often doing an extra 100KM or so to keep away as we'd always been told it's very busy and difficult to navigate. Having now done it, I can confirm this route had no tolls whatsoever, it kept us out of the low emissions zone and was actually really easy. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching our videos and wishing you safe travels. Sue and Steve 😊👍

Thank you David. Yes it is so much easier in Europe that's for sure. Thank you for your kind comment and for watching our videos 👍😊

Hi Gareth, we only use google maps for the route and park4night or searchforsites for the overnight parking. We've done this trip quite a few times (doing it again this April actually) and the scenery is stunning which ever way you go. If you're not in a hurry it's lovely to drive via Zaragoza and Valencia and then along the coast to Almeria. If you get as far as Aguadulce drop into our favourite Chirinquito there, it's called Diegos 👍 Hope this helps, Sue and Steve

@@wadskistravelchannel we are in Alicante for 8nights in april(but the typical fly and stay) over the summer will be road trip so will use Google to plan and look at those stops to let the children burn off some energy

We've been up here quite a few times over the years - it's a truly epic place to ride Gareth 👍 My favourite trail is one called "el diablo" (the devil) - I've fallen off more times than I can remember. Thank you for watching this one 😊

@@wadskistravelchannel lovely, you do know there looks to be a big drop if the front end goes you are off the edge. Looks brilliant and class weather

Thank you 🙏 Yes we’ll be careful 😊👍👍👍

Hi, yes unfortunately we only spend 3 months away for the same reason ☹️ we’re now unable to go back into Europe until end of March. I hope you get back over there when you can, even for 3 months it’s definitely worth it. Thank you for your kind comment and for watching our video. Safe travels, Sue and Steve

Thank you 😊 We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Safe travels, Sue and Steve

Thanks Elen 👍

Hi Ian, thank you for your comment and for watching our videos 😊 The monkeys were too busy eating or looking for something to steal, they didn't chat much, but they were really cute ☺️ We're so glad you enjoyed the tour. Hoping to get the next video out soon. Sue and Steve xx

Hi again @elenbarnett5389, yes of course, the aire near the flamingo's was at La Marina del Pinet - what3words are ///cage.grander.shrewdly - it's just a large carpark but very peaceful at night. During the day you can also park on the beach - we had a lovely coffee in the Gallego Playa restaurant right on the beach (overnight parking is prohibited on the beach though). Hope this helps. Sue and Steve xx

@@wadskistravelchannel great thanks 🤩

Hi @elenbarnett5389, We're so pleased you're enjoying our videos 😊 The aire next to the railway was at Estacion de Canfranc - literally just at the end of the Somport Tunnel. The what3words location is ///exercises.pest.festoon - if you look on google earth you won't see it as the aire is so new it doesn't show. I think we were some of the first to use it, it really was a stunning location. Hope you find it OK and enjoy your trip Thanks again for watching our videos. Safe travel, Sue and Steve xx

@@wadskistravelchannel cheers 👍

Hello @Gareth_NocturnaGarage, I honestly don't know. I guess it depends on how well they travel. We have three kids too (all grown up now) but I'm not sure I'd take them on this kind of trip as it was a lot of driving. Our kids needed constant attention when they were younger and wouldn't sit in the van for that long - but of course yours may be quite content to sit and look out of the window and not start crying. We didn't stop in any sites that were family friendly on this trip though and of course there's loads of family orientated sites in Spain and Portugal. I guess if you stayed in sites with swimming pools and other things to amuse them you'd be OK? Remember it's over 2000 miles round trip using the route we took. I think if we were taking a young family we'd probably book a site with pools and activities where we knew they'd enjoy it and use the main motorways in Spain to get there as quickly as possible. Hope this helps and thank you for watching our videos 😊 Sue and Steve

Thank you Gareth 👍 We’re still quite new at editing and finding new ways to improve our videos is great fun 😊 Thank you for your kind comment. Sue and Steve 👍

@@wadskistravelchannel I done one in premier pro took me bloody ages

Thank you David, yes I would have preferred to walk up but Sue insisted....Gibraltar was a really great day out, thoroughly recommended 👍Thank you again for your comment and for watching our videos. Safe travel Steve and Sue

Thank you Ian 👍👍 Sue and Steve

We went for a van as heard horror stories of damp in several fairly new coach built. Damp should be less of a risk in a metal van. Downside is it’s not as big as Coachbuilt (width wise) so less inside, but a van is easier to drive and park. I guess there are pros and cons to all really. Van is certainly our preference but everyone has different needs I guess. Hope this helps. Sue and Steve

Thank you David 👍 Yes the weather was glorious in the Algarve, we’re certainly missing it at the moment 😕 Nothing planned UK wise apart from a couple of odd weekends away visiting friends and family over the coming weeks. Next proper trip will be to Italy in April (once our 90 days resets - we can’t go back into Europe until end of March 😟). Enjoy your travels and thank you for watching our videos 👍👍 Sue and Steve

Inspired us to do a tour abroad - on the park up in Panes at the moment! Thanks for putting your videos out🙂

@@ruthkirby9277 That's awesome 🤗 Thank you for your kind comment. We hope you enjoy your time there 👍If you get up to "The Bear" can you tell us how the dog is doing that lives with the cows please, he's such a gentle soul. Safe travels, Sue & Steve 🙂

Thank you @ac2litre 😊. Portugal really is beautiful and we must have seen your friends at some point as I think we pretty much met every single person who lived there.... 🤓. On a serious note, we rely heavily on GPS data from our cameras and Google maps history as we too can't remember where we've been (or why)....we create these videos to remind ourselves how lucky we are and what a great time we had 😀. Thank you for watching and we'll get the next video out as soon as we can. Sue and Steve 😊

Hi David, yes it was certainly quiet. A bit busier in the Algarve as you'll see in our next video. We certainly prefer being in quieter park-ups and avoid big campsites as much as we can (although in the Algarve we had no choice). I don't think we'll be going out of our way to purchase any more Pomegranates but should we be given any we'll give them another go with your spoonful of pips tip 🤓 Thank you again for watching our videos 😊 Sue and Steve

Hi Steve and Sue Brilliant video keep it up, uncle Tony and I back in 1946/47, sat in the garden each with a open safety pin picking out pomegranate’s seeds to eat, we thought they were wonderful, first time we had ever see them. Dad 😎🦹🐈‍⬛👍👍🥰

Thank you David, Spring will be just around the corner 😊 Thank you for watching our videos, hoping to get the next instalment out soon 👍👍

Thank you Mark. Really appreciate your kind comment 😊

Hi Janice, thank you for your kind comment, we're glad you're enjoying our videos, thank you for subscribing 😊 We looked around quite a bit when buying our scooter rack and found the Watling rack a good fit for us. I believe they sold their stock to a company in Lincoln (www.motorhometowbarcentre.co.uk) - I've not had any dealings with them but might be worth a call. Hope this helps and happy travels 😊 Best wishes, Sue and Steve

@@wadskistravelchannel that's useful to know and we will be looking into this. Many thanks 😊 Jan and Dave. Happy travels

Hi Graham, thank you for your kind comment and for subscribing, we're glad you're enjoying our videos. The ferry crossing was OK, we usually drive through France which we do prefer as we love the French countryside and villages but if the weather is a bit cold we prefer to get to Spain via the ferry and head south as quickly as possible. The roads in Spain are some of the best in Europe, most of the motorways are now toll free too. There isn't as many overnight park ups in Spain as there are in France but we never struggle to find somewhere. We use the park4night and searchforsites apps mostly. We'll be putting our next video out later this week and we always include our overnight parking locations - including what3words which we find really useful. Enjoy your trip in November and thank you again for subscribing. 😊 Safe travels. Sue and Steve
