[@lianedegville3093]

As a Aussie my immediate instinctual reaction on seeing the dog and people swimming in that inlet was "sharks!". In Oz that sort of inlet is often the haunt of dangerous bull sharks. Then a nanosecond later I relaxed and was jealous of the ability to safely swim in that sort of area.

This bought back memories, we used to wild camp on Madiera Drive back in the 70's in my dads campervan (a converted JU250 bakers van with a pop top). We never had any problems then it felt so safe I guess things change.

[@tilerman]

I'm a van driving tradesman and my van has been broken into 5 times and i've had 2 cats cut off, each costing £1100 to replace. I have become totally paranoid where i park my van but the reality is, the people who commit these crimes really don't give a jot where a vehicle is parked, what time of day it is and even the amount of people around. Vehicle break in's used to be a night-time thing, one of my cats got cut off in the middle of the day on a residential side street with lots of people around. It's very depressing.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

You hit the nail on the head. Crime has become so brazen that time of day and witnesses are irrelevant to them. I used to work burglary and vehicle crime in plain clothes in Brighton. 6 of us on a dedicated team who would just cruise around spotting them in action. We reduced those crimes to almost nothing over the course of one year but that was before more weird things became the priority. I feel for you having suffered all that. It’s a disgrace.

Well spotted, re. the glass. Sadly Brighton hates cars and parking is either very hard to find and then, very expensive. Should have driven the extra 10 miles to Worthing - much nicer pier and no problems with parking and a very nice walk along Marine Parade.

Hari Om Oh Look, there's the Shetland Trader all the way south... I sometimes spot her coursing the Clyde and she's often over in the Forth. Yes, I guessed it - a new bed layer and it does indeed look comfy. Now, let me tell you about my experience with the Citroen 2CV (of 45 years back)... the one for which it was necessary to carry a hammer at one's side in order to tap the solenoid everytime one wished to start the engine...and a spare pair of tights for the fanbelt shredding it tended to do... and its tendency to have the control pedals detach themselves from the levers they were intended to control. I suspect any of the original chassis still on the road will have had a complete engine replacement and reworking of the pedals! Just going to the shops was an epic adventure. YAM xx

I keep my bedding in the back too but it's held in by a cargo net attached to the ceiling and under the rear 'seat'. The folded/rolled bedding goes back with the R&R bed and the netting stops it falling out of the rear door. Sorted.

You need a cargo net to stop your pillows falling out when you open that boot!

Just a little information. The reason you can’t see the screen on your camera whilst wearing sunglasses, due to them being polarized. Polots use non-polorized sunglasses so they can read all the LED screen displays in the cockpit.

That will be it for sure Henry, I wear sunglasses so rarely it didn’t cross my mind. Obvious now 😁👍

@@LifeistooshortCK I was so frightened of flying, even when I picked up people from the airport, the smell of aviation fuel would make me vomit. I learnt to fly, and the first lesson taught me to use pilot sunglasses. I did get my pilot's licence and I now love flying.

Interesting to hear about crime increasing in the run up to Christmas. My first thought was crime in relation to Brighton's high drug use.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Without a doubt drugs drive up petty crime in order to fund their use. At the moment though many people just can’t make ends meet and desperate times leads to desperate measures.

flip the bread once and then add the cheese to the warm already toasted side.

If we hit snow in our little van we could be in some trouble but we should just miss it this time of the year. Policing never leaves you once you have done it. In one sense it’s a blessing as I can spot trouble before it affects us but sometimes I wish I couldn’t see it if that makes sense. 👍

Double mattress toppers should be nice and comfy, its amazing how much bedding you can fit into your little red camper. Had to laugh (even though it isn't funny) you reminded me of Bri who would always spot glass like that on road sides and in car parks, "We're not parking here!" 😊👍

Don't get me wrong guys, I'm a Brit by birth, My home is in France and I have not been back to the UK for a few years, But the thought of taking my camper to the UK for any length of time would worry the hell out of me, What with the traffic, attitude to campers, cost etc and yes the crime. The difference in France and many parts of Europe is so far apart that I doubt our Van will ever cross the water. Maybe I have been away to long and become soft? Great tips btw, Thanks.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I can understand that view and you would find the experience very different to France. It’s doable over here without too much trouble but if you want true peace of mind it has to be campsites. Campsites have changed though. These days they are extortionate, have too many rules and there seems to be constant noise from leaf blowers and mini tractors tearing around. France is huge, people are far more tolerant and the population is very spaced out. We are lucky being so close to the channel so we will be spending more time over there for sure. (well as much as we can of the 90 days allowance 😁)

@@LifeistooshortCK Thank you for your reply. Love your channel and watching you both navigate your way around Europe. I agree with your comments, I have looked at camp site fees in the UK and its a little shocking to be fair.

How interesting, I would've never noticed. Thank you for pointing that out. That reminds me of the first time I've ever been to the UK, about 30 years ago, and seeing steering wheel locks. To this day you don't ever see those here in Germany, so I guess our local offenders are otherwise specialized and not so much into car theft. :) - So I just checked and I understand 101.198 cars were stolen in England and Wales (about 59 mio. inhabitants) in 2021, in Germany (83 mio) it was 9.805. Huh.

Hi both, Woolroom is a good make without a doubt. When I moved to my little Bungalow I bought a new bed and decided now there is only me I'd have a single and give myself some more space. Couldn't track down another Fogarty one so I got a Woolroom one and the lightest weight. Don't think I could use a mattress topper as well as I'd feel like a Sunday roast I reckon. 🙄 You don't want to be driving one of those 2CVs they're horrible to handle. Every time you go round a bend the body feels like it is sliding across the chassis. Albeit that they don't pitch and yaw it's very disconcerting. The chassis and suspension was designed to enable french farmers to be able to drive a carload of eggs to market across a ploughfield at 90° to the furrows without any eggs breaking or dislodging from the trays. They're even wielrer to drive than a Reliant three wheeler. That Shoreham Airport building is a beautiful example of that Art Deco style you find along the South Coast and it looks like they've put a few Bob into rhe upkeep of it since the Seventies/ Eighties when we used to drive down to there and also Blackbush on a Sunday and watch all the little aircraft coming and going. Once again you have demonstrated that here in England we have beautiful scenery right on our own doorstep. Having said that, I'm really looking forward to the Norway visit. Keep well both. And Bruin out.
