This episode was nearly over before it started! I had a warning light on my campervan, but luckily I got that sorted and continued this vanlife adventure. I found some old shipwrecks, then went on to find an amazing park up on the Isle of Sheppey!
But yes, I am leaving the UK. As soon as the van is built! As for where I'm headed, well I talk about that in this episode. It's going to be a vanlife adventure of EPIC proportions.
Hope you enjoy this episode, and you're excited about what's to come!

Can honestly say you've become my favourite channel on KZbin! The combo of your humour/personality, pro editing skills and good vibes are a winner! I just know your channel is gonna get crazy big one day! 😁 You deserve every bit of success. The Pigeon is looking super sleek, you've done her up to such a high standard. We all go through phases of feeling down, letting stuff overwhelm us but the important thing is to feel what we need to feel but not dwell on it and always remember the positive things in life! Hope you're okay. The adventures sound awesome! Big things coming for this channel 👍

[@Adz]

Thank you so much :) it means a lot! And yeah I’m definitely feeling more positive this week! Can’t wait until I can hit the road for these big trips!

You wanna do a oil change and filter as the viscosity of the oil cans pull up faults like that. Had similar problems with a motor and was due a oil change and fixed the problem.

Top video, started watching you on my old channel from pretty much day one (because I love caddys) I’ve since bought my own caddy and started making videos, I doubt I’ll be able to do adventures like you for a few years because of the kids, but I will live vicariously through your videos until I can do my own.

[@maxineredfern3380]

Ooo wow Adam that’s some adventure, go grab it with both hands while you can, that a trip of a life time. Hope pigeon’s engine is ok. Maxx

[@SeanOConnor-lx3jg]

Going to the Arctic Circle will be interesting, depending on the time of year your solar panels might be able to provide you with all the power you need or be completely useless.

[@iancash4129]

Can't wait for the journeys bud it will be quality mate as normal

[@pasikarosto]

Greetings from Finland. The quest for the Arctic Circle is really something to wait for. Season dictates much of the needed gear. Seasons without snow are easy, well maybe if not counting zillions of mosquitos, but wintertime driving requires good stud tires and arctic clothing. I'll be waiting for these epic episodes with popcorn ready. In which country are you going to visit Arctic Circle? Or perhaps a grand tour across all the Nordic countries. Or maybe you want to meet Santa and his staff in Korvatunturi.

[@michaelhutcheson9509]

Best of luck don’t let things get you down. Big adventure ahead

[@scottman4943]

That sounds like an amazing adventure.

[@crystalwaters8852]

[@justsayin644]

This guy has a good attitude and is still pretty young so i think he will do ok in his life. Many people take a lot longer to learn this stuff about mindset.

[@vanman_bavaria]

Testing the van in the Alps before driving it to the arctic circle is a good idea, i just don't know whether Switzerland is one as well. I live in southern Germany, not too far from the Austrian and Swiss border and I'm in the Alps several times a year with my van. To sum it up the alpine countries: Austria: Nice, price level normal, overnight camping outside of camp sites in general is absolutely forbidden, fine is 220 €, police knows how to use P4N. Switzerland: Nice, price level is absurd (example: 10 eggs ~ 9 to 10 €, Pizza in a normal restaurant ~ 20+ €), overnight parking situation depends on canton, usually quite relaxed. Italy: My favorite, normal prices, overnight parking not a problem (nobody cares, lots of free official RV parking). France: Like Italy, maybe a little bit more expensive, but still OK. RV overnight camping is usually accepted. I would recommend Italy, nothing beats sitting in an italian Cafe/Bar and sipping a cappuccino with a cornetto. People are friendly, prices are OK and there are enough high mountains and valleys to test your van.

[@allanmacbadger5692]

If you are travelling up to the arctic circle through Finland you will need to make sure of proper winter tyres and 2-3 Jerry cans for fuel, first of all check out the weather during the winter, in the summer it's all about the mossies, they're as big as a wren and vicious

[@Guvnor100]

Apparently great for mountain biking in the summer. Apparently the mossies make the reindeer herd up and pump out an almighty stink. That helps the reindeer owners find them when the time is right.

[@mraidymaddful]

if you're planning on going to the Arctic Circle I would have a small wood burning stove fitted in the back. Either that or a really decent diesel heater.

[@MartinRees-tp2hm]

Lovely spot spent many a night up there all year round.

[@0191DURHAM]

Great video, funny and still really interesting. I felt the comments you made at the end as well. Looking forward to seeing your future posts

Ah mate, gutted! I'm down at Riverside several times a week. I actually saw a van that looked like yours and then as I was walking I saw the drone. Never saw you though sadly! Love all your videos matey. 👍🏻

After another channel I watched for a while started going downhill I thought great now Adz ventures is as well. I’m happy I stayed till the end to hear that you are not actually giving up and getting rid of the pigeon.

Keep it up adz 👍alwayz look forward to your videos .. good laff as always n artic circle sounds a great journey

[@glendahill]

Glad you managed to get yer butt out of bed for that spectacular sunrise, Mornings are the best time of the day. Sounds like you have a plan WRT leaving the UK. Years ago, I left, thinking I would be away for a year, ended up being 4 years. The best 4 years of my life. So do it,the UK will still be here being, well, the UK. Experience different countries, cultures, food and all that good stuff that isn't British . I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I have a dog and two cats that I can't abandon, but if I ever get the van situation sorted, well they would come with me. I'm sure we will all enjoy the ride with you, so take a deep breath and do it. It will be THE ONE

[@christinamacintyre9972]

Prob with Adams videos is - so eager to watch them when they pop up that i am like.. ok the whole world has stop right now 😊

[@jwcgroup]

One of your most beautiful thought provoking filming yet. You're a star, keep going, life is for looking ahead you are doing it 🙏

[@stephenrussell6074]

Don’t forget to change the tires to all certified weather (snow rated for the countries that require it to be legal) and get a set of snow chains which you practice with. You may benefit from changing some of the vehicle fluids the manufacturer will have recommendations for -20 ish. I would recommend a mountain four season sleeping bag and down jackets and pants. Insulated snow boots. Consider a sat phone and satellite internet.

@@Adz even I as a grumpy old man felt the Christmas spirit. Cost an arm and a leg to do the whole package tour, would be great to drive there and be able to sleep in the van. Was only - 6 on average the year I visited, the year before was in the - 20s. You would need to be prepared. Anyway, keep up the great content, hope you suss out the oil pressure problems.
