La Rochelle is lovely shame u couldn't stay. Safe travels to Espana. What a sweat little baby Chicco is. His Mummy and Daddy are lovely too. Bev thinks u are a great couple and is always telling customers at the practice when waiting for treatment, they have got hooked and subscribed too. See u soon in Spain. Take care.

no it’s been warm but cloudy 😮

[@touringtourne]

I experienced the dreaded knock late sunday night in Hoek van Holland. According to Park4Night there were two places to park for free. A Nice policeman told me (and a french couple) that we were illegally parked. There are three legal places, but they were full. Instead of sending me 45 minute to a place to park I was allowed to park on a Street close to the free parking. The french couple and I wrote a review on P4N, but they deleted it because it was mentioned on that site that it was for daytime parking. That is bull****. P4N had deleted the two parking from the app. I think I will try searchforsites hereafter.

Just a heads up, you're able to update places on Park4night yourselves if you find the description is wrong. Enjoy your travels 🙂

[@NorthernersonTour]

thanks wendy but that doesn’t help sue when we have travelled miles to get to what a few have said a brilliant park up to be find out the town changed the rules months ago ❤

@@NorthernersonTour very true but it would help others to not make the same mistake, I've updated a few myself after being thoroughly disappointed, it's the biggest fault with Park4night... nobody seems to oversee it 😕

Hey guys loving the vlogs. Fab information given about your towns visited and aires etc. if youre heading into Portugal fab we are keen to follow and learn more about Portugal as not explored there ourselves. Watch out for tolls on the roads Im told can be bit expensive although not yet had a chance to find out ourselves 😂. If ur in Almeria sing out. Safe travels 😊

I wouldn't worry about the French rozzers I was pulled over on a motorway services 100miles north of spain in my camper, miss commication on cigarettes I only had 40 they thought I had 4000, they had a quick check inside of the van, they couldn't believe I didn't get cigarettes in Spain as they are cheaper. There was about 6 coppers all nice and chatty spoke good English didn't bother to check passports or paperwork. They chatty about were we lived in England and what we did for living and did we enjoy our holiday.

they where kind enough to not move us on when i told them how far out of our way we had headed to that place to sleep for the night and i said i was going to buy from the village shop xxx

Love watching you guys. Mark, you forgot to put up the "end screen" in the KZbin Studio. I have a hint for you, to stop flickering when you're surrounded by lighting, go to your GoPro screen, pull down on the rear screen, swipe left, click preferences, click general, swipe up and select "anti-flicker", make sure that is on 50Hz, then LED lighting won't flicker. Keep up the good work and give us a shout out, cheers guys 👍👍👍🚐🚐🚐

La Rochelle you can park and stay approx 40 min walk away at Port-Neuf apart from that you can try the Municipal Campsite but usually full in the summer. It’s been like that for years I’m afraid

[@NorthernersonTour]

but when you want to park in la rochelle and it says there is lots it’s a bit annoying having to park 49 mins away ❤

[@happymotorhoming]

@@NorthernersonTour yeah it’s a good trek for sure especially after a fish platter and a few bottles of wine. We discovered this back in 2017 - nothing changes so can’t be bothered to go back which is a shame as it’s a lovely place. If the aire (which was 15 euros at the time) was better value for money then it would be great. Suppose electric bikes and scooters cut the journey down though 😆
