Oh wow just on catch up, as an avid wild swimmer all year in skins, well done for getting in, that water was lush 💙💙🥶

It really was lush (are you possibly welsh?), and as novice wild swimmers we loved it, but it was soooooo cold! We couldn't last very long!!!! Thanks for the comment. 👍

En-route from Scotland to the Dolomites right now in our wee microcamper. Should be there in a couple of days. Hoping to get some Via Ferrata done if the weather allows. If you haven't tried it, you should! 🧗😁 Looking forward to watching your adventures.

Have a great trip - I hope the weather holds up for you. We haven’t done any via Ferratas yet but it is something we want to have a go at. I did a lot of indoor climbing at uni and as a teacher on residentials so know I would enjoy it!

I am sure you will get to some of these places one day - lots of little mountain B and B’s in the area for hikers and refuge huts. Richard fancies a multi day hike from hut to hut in the Dolomites 🥾🏔️ our to do list just gets longer because we only really scratch the surface in each place!

Loved the video guys. The drive over the passes from Slovenia into Italy looked amazing and the walk around the Tre Cime looked spectacular. You don’t get to park up in locations like that very often so we would say it’s definitely worth the money. Looking forward to the next video. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

They were real google specials that took us over the Slovenian mountain passes but so pretty. The Italian border that was the middle of a river! We really enjoyed the night up at Tre Cime - a definite experience we would have regretted not doing 🚐🥾🏔️

We always travel on a budget, rarely eat out in restaurants, love to take a picnic on our walks, and of course it saves money, you seem to think like us, we have just been to Dorset on a budget, stayed at a temporary site. We must get down to Cornwall, the biggest cost is the fuel, we live in Derbyshire, always enjoy your vlogs, 😊
@earlyretirementwanderlust4 күн бұрын
Yes it is amazing how much the diesel costs add up travelling from Yorkshire - we had not really been to Dorset apart from to catch a ferry - it was lovely. We just keep thinking - the more we can do things on a budget the longer we can stay out travelling but we have noticed campsite fees have gone up considerably since we started out with the van 7 summers ago. Cornwall Is beautiful 🚐

It was our first time ever to Venice and we loved it. It felt so easy to get around (I did let Richard do the navigating of all the alleyways) They are Helinox chairs which we treated ourselves to in Lockdown 😬 They were expensive but they are actually still like new and we went through so many sets of the fold up chairs before that - so we have probably broken even!!
