Nigel and his undies, classic Nigel. Love the film making and the content, really impressive.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Cheers Geoffo!! I’m really enjoying the creative process, and having a laugh at Nigel on the way!!

Your video was great to feel the beauty of challenge and healing together!👍👏 Nigel & Sue! 🌹🍀 Be a beautiful star today.🙏

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. Have a blessed day

[@peterbrockman161]

Here's hoping after this video that Nigel gets some sponsorship from Bonds or Tradie trunks.... He certainly deserves it. As a fellow MTB rider it was good to see the trails there too. They look extensive and clearly cater for all skill levels. Thanks again. 😁👍

[@nigelandsueadventures]

I mean, yeah driving back to get them! He should get sponsorship!

[@graemeashton1917]

Definitely would stop before they flew off, because they might fall into a muddy puddle 😂 lol

[@patrickosullivan6006]

Thanks guys. Great video as usual. Shame they cut down some of those trees. Yes funny how our weather changes from one end to the other. ❤️

Excellent vlog, I really enjoyed your commentary,particularly about the war POWs, & your outdoor bike riding, very cool to watch older people getting outdoors activities. Cheers from Downunder, ps, how much would you sell your van for after you’ve done touring Australia?. 😄❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺

Hi. Wow, I have only just discovered your videos which are very inspiring especially as you are having these adventures in a LWB 4x4 Sprinter. After years of 4x4 camping, we decided to fit out a VW Crafter for a bit more comfort but then VW came along in 2022 and offered the Crafter Kampervan. Just took delivery in Feb this year. Its the 4x4 All Terrain version with rear diff lock and Seikel lift kit etc. Given that it will have similar capabilities to your great van, I was very interested to see you successfully traversing the sandy tracks along the Ningaloo coast (we will be there later this year). I found that very encouraging as many tracks are labelled 4WD only but then I see many youtube videos of utes towing monster vans along these tracks and thought a 4x4 van should be okay. Any comments? Cheers. Geoff

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Thanks Geoff! The Sandy tracks are usually fine, and we’ve driven along the beach quite a few times too. We are quite heavy at almost 4.5 tonnes (we carry bikes and a lot of sporting equipment in the van). The van doesn’t live corrugations though!!

[@geoffsshed8433]

@@nigelandsueadventures Thanks so much. Our "Wolfie" weighs in at 3.7 tonnes so that is reassuring. My wife and I watched several of your videos last night covering areas we will be visiting this year. Apart from enjoying the quality productions it has given us confidence to take Wolfie further off the beaten track (with care). Picked up some ideas for nice walks too :). Cheers. Geoff

There camps like that on Murray River in SA

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Oh we are really looking forward to SA!!

[@ollieatdalby]

hi guys top effort on that ride,you have done well. question what supplis did you take as you only had a small amount of kit cheers

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Cheers Ollie. We wanted to go as lightweight as we possibly could. Basically we took just one change of riding clothes and hut clothes, the food we needed (we took only just enough!) and a bit of repair gear for the bikes. Fortunately we didn’t need any repairs. We hired sleeping bags at the huts. And then our camera gear, but we went lightweight here and just used 1 x GoPro, our iPhones and we took our drone (Mavic Mini) which we needed to get a permit for. Hope that helps

[@peterbest2434]

Great video again. How do you find the Mountain Design chairs? I have tried sitting on other much more expensive lightweight chair & found them uncomfortable.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

We actually really like these. If only they had drink holders haha

[@craigwilson8615]

Yet another awesome video guys. Can I please ask what brand and size your awesome awning is. I am about to order one and yours looks perfect.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

Hey Craig. It’s a fiamma fs80. 4m long. To be honest we hardly ever use it! Doesn’t like the wind at all

[@craigwilson8615]

@@nigelandsueadventures that is the one im looking at. I dont think any awning really like the wind. I mainly want it to get me out of my van more, for the social aspect i guess.

[@nigelandsueadventures]

@@craigwilson8615 that’s a very good point. We tend to spend a lot of time inside the van. Will be more more now it’s getting so chilly
