Epic Winter Adventure: Exploring Northern Spain with our Land Rover / S6 - EP01

"Don''t know what that is , but I'm sure if it was in Australia it would Kill you! " I watch as much for the sense of humour as the amazing repairs , comedy duo 😂

[@paultinwell5557]

Processional caterpillar nests (I think). They won't kill you unless you're a dog and get your face deep into them, but leave them alone as they're deeply unpleasant.

[@edwardgrimes8572]

Australia or TEXAS!!!

[@mbak7801]

@@edwardgrimes8572 I agree Texas is worse. Far fewer dangerous critters but loads more deadly humans with no impulse control.

[@pgmerovingian]

Processionary caterpillar nests. Very dangerous to dogs, they can sniff the fine fur which can cause an allergic reaction and kill them. They descend the tree trunk in line, then head underground for 6 months resulting in an ugly brown moth

[@hughjanus3347]

They certainly are processional caterpillar nests....you get them in maritime pines everywhere (we have to set traps on the pines in our garden in southern Brittany). The caterpillars descend towards the end of April - all nose to tail in a long line. The hairs sting badly and can even fly/float and sting you. Our previous dog lost a 1/4 of her tongue to the little devils. They're seen as a dangerous nuisance in France and are burned off Red Adair-style (doused in petrol before throwing a match and jumping smartly back)

Thoroughly enjoy watching Christian and Vera's adventures and their expeditions. Great touring videos in the best-maintained Discovery 3-Series on the Planet.

[@charlesperry6088]

Christian when I look at those steps etc I just think “well I’m 63 and I’ve had my first (mild thankfully) heart attack…I think I’ll just enjoy this vicariously”. I used to enjoy that sort of thing in my 20s. More power to you still at it in your 50s. Awesome trip!

[@caryknapton7233]

The best channel on you tube by far... Thanks for sharing your fantastic adventure with us. Maybe one day you will get to do Africa in your Disco 3 with a (Howling Moon Stargazer) rooftop tent where we did for 5 years. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these videos..

This video is very interesting. It’s also nice to see a Land Rover in use on a road instead of being in a workshop on the end of a wrench. Thank you both for taking us along with you.

[@bobrose7900]

Beautiful and fantastic video! Disco performed admirably and was completely in it's element. I would also be very nervous on some of those snow and ice covered tracks - but the Disco eats them... yes, snow chains and I use BFG mud terrains which work surprisingly well on the road if that were an option and have a much taller profile. I have the natty little mud flaps that keeps the muck off the vehicle and do not foul the ground with the suspension raised. What pressures do you run in the tyres? The diesel heaters consume a surprising amount, so it's difficult to assess mileage without separate metering. Thoroughly enjoyable video, well done!

A ten hour drive is just to the next city here in Australia.. :) Great trip Thanks for sharing it.

[@robertjohnston3658]

As an Australian that blob might kill you if it contained wasps, but the snakes, spiders, crocodiles, sharks, jellyfish, octopus and the deadly drop bears will surely get to you first and kill you in as little as 30 seconds from contact! Great episode , despite Vera’s “ babling” and your boots sounding like a German storm trooper. ( ha ha ha) Wonderful scenery and what a fabulous trail to trek. Vera looks to be sprinting away from “old man Christian” , but that fresh underwater may have “held you up” ( pun intended ), so a great excuse! You are a funny couple and work so well together and have created a very entertaining travel show Cheers from Australia, gotta go, I need to chase that big brown snake out of the house and feed the drop bears to stop them eating my dog.

[@jebw]

Great video. I really loved the scenery. Google has a habit of sending you up a bush track, like in Australia.

Thanks for the great ride along! I've done Spain also many times with my Discovery but being a single driver I would travel through central France and drive max 5 hours then overnight I would take it easy and reach Valencia after 3 days from central Germany ... brings back a lot of very nice memories.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We needed to stay in a certain area because of Philipp. We have been to the Pyrenees Mountains three times with our Discovery 3, long before KZbin however. Nextime, we will go further West to Bardenas Reales and go hiking in Picos de Europa National Park. 👍👌🙋‍♀️

[@GaryMartino]

So kind of you both to allow us to travel such a gorgeous journey. I do believe that this time Christian was the first to say "omg" in a video before Vera. You are both the best!

Stunning, rugged land that I wouldn't have associated with Spain. Reminds me of Colorado. Of course, in terrain like this, an efficient and torquey turbo diesel is mandatory.

I would get to those stairs and it would a be a big fat NO!!! Can't imagine the cost involved in building them or to replace them.. As for the rest of the trip, I am envious, gorgeous country! I concur with your decision making on the ice. Exercise your superior judgement to avoid having to use your superior skills.

Hey Christian and Vera 😊 That was a most enjoyable trip. Thank you for taking us along with you 👍🏻 I wish you both a very Happy New Year and look forward to seeing more great content. Today, I myself am going to set about servicing my EAS Valve Block for the Air Suspension on my Range Rover P38. I bought the car at the end last summer and know for sure, that it has probably never been serviced. It is a task that requires being meticulous, which suits me down to the ground. Wish me luck, haha 😂😀🙏

When the going gets tough, the Landy gets going! What a brilliant adventure you two went on in Spain with your Disco! Greetings from yet another Australian!

[@m.cooper1854]

After watching all of your many repair videos, it was a great pleasure to see you using your Land Rover for what it was intended, overlanding across Europe. Most impressive of all is to see how fit both of you are hiking with challenging changes in elevation. And to see remote backcountry I never knew existed in western Europe. Take more vacations!

Lovely episode again, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve been at the French side of the eastern Pyrenees quite a few times (relatives have a house down there). Nice to see the similarities and especially the differences. Spain is particularly much more desolate. Impressive footage!

[@alanforsyth2628]

Your footage of the staircase of death is the scariest I have ever seen in my life! It reminds me of a regularly recurring nightmare I have where I'm climbing a staircase on a rockface or wallface, and there are missing stair treads. Suddenly, the handrails disappear, and then turning around to go back, you find that all the stairs behind you have gone. Then I wake up! Your comment about changing your underwear being a waste of time is very apt and hilarious. I'm glad you took the decision to not go further on a trail. As Clint Eastwood said in one of his Dirty Harry movies, "a good man has got to know his limitations". You're a good man, Christian. You two go where angels fear to tread, but in this case, stop where "tyres" fear to tread.
