Hey guys Claire dosent need any makeup she is a lovely natural beauty. Can’t believe you have that good weather it’s atrocious weather in Skye landslides wind and rain 😢😢anyway we just have to get on with it. I really hope that the snow doesn’t come this week 🤔. Safe travels you lovely guys let me know when you get to skye❤❤

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Haha🤣👍, indeed, Claire is a natural beauty, it's very much me who needs the make up😂. Yep, we've heard about the bad weather you're currently suffering with, terrible🥶🌬️🗻. Yes, the next time we visit Scotland and make the drive North West, we'll let you know in advance. This time we're staying south🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙❤️. Hope you avoid the snow, although we must admit, we would love to visit Skye when it's had a splattering of the white stuff🗻📷. Take care and many thanks as always. Stay safe and warm. Big hugs, Tony and Claire. 👍❤️💙🚐

[@lizgillies3564]

Good weather for pictures 🤔🤔👌♥️♥️

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Indeed, perfect for photography. 👍❤️💙📷

I’d got so used to you driving on the right, it confused my poor brain for a while! Really interesting places to visit. Never been to Yorkshire. Xx

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Haha, I hope that you are not too influenced by our vids the next time you go for a drive lol, that could be terrible! Put Yorkshire on your bucket list, a beautiful region. Take care and all the best as always. X

[@nickwilkins3616]

Hi both, you’ve got SUNSHINE! How did you find that, nice to see Abbeys, we have one near us in Tally Wales, lots to choose from, our weather has been shocking! Hopefully the weather will follow you , safe travels. Nick and Claire

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hey up both, hope you're well. Yep, we had sunshine but also had to outrun the odd storm lol. Yes, Abbeys are amazing, brilliant architecture and history. Summer will be with us all soon, until then, stay safe and warm. Many thanks again, take care and all the very best. Tony and Claire.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Tony, your nose is looking so much better! I'm glad it's healing well

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Many thanks Dara, it looks fantastic from 50ft away👍🤣. Hope you're both well 💙👍.

Hi there, many thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave the kind comment, we're glad that you enjoy the channel and the odd fact or two. Thanks again and all the very best. Tony and Claire.

[@raymondporter2094]

I thought you were English Heritage members? If so, entrance to Rievaulx Abbey would be "free". It is one of the very best Abbeys to visit and has a visitor centre+cafe and a museum on site. Whorlton Castle is just a few miles from where I live. Byland Abbey & Coxwold not too far away. You drove past Helmsley with its Castle (English Heritage ) and nearby Duncombe Park. Whitby Abbey (also English Heritage ) is an absolute MUST visit. And at Whitby with all its Dracula connections (it's where he came ashore after The Demeter was shipwrecked on the rocks below the Abbey), Captain Cook connections and steam railway. The thing is that if you visit this area (North York Moors) or the Dales (Fountains Abbey near Ripon and Middleham Castle), your year's English Heritage membership would have paid for itself before you even got out of the local area, with so much more to see in County Durham and Northumberland.... Good to see you in North Yorkshire, though! And glad to see the nose is coming along nicely.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an informative comment, full of great places to visit and explore...cheers. It's times like this that we wish our videos were live, so that we could adapt our plans on the go. We have been to a few of your recommendations on previous outings (a couple of vids below). We were EH members until our move to France where our monthly outgoings are very tight. Again, our sincere thanks for the locations, we've added them to our journal for a future visit. Take care and all the very best, Tony and Claire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXjIl6J8rKaYqdEsi=eiqx-mjHc2cKWts0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLPdHVnn8SrY80si=tBmfWx_TrNohW2BJ

Fabulous mug! Super fun 🤩

[@philsadler928]

For a change I have been to the places you show before you! Part of the reason Rivaulx abbey is so well preserved is because the person that owned it kept it as a garden folly to show off to their guests

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Haha, damn it! Many thanks for leaving the informative comment, very interesting. If only we all had a little folly like that lol. Many thanks again and all the very best, Tony and Claire.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I love Yorkshire! I'm looking forward to us getting back there this summer. You saw some nice abbeys! And you saw Rievaulx Abbey the same way I saw Tintern Abbey 😂😂

Hey up Gordon, hope you're well buddy. Ooow, that sounds like a horrific injury, we hope Yvonne has made a full recovery!! Cheers, take care and all the best.

[@geoffhughes453]

Hi guys. That looks a good route to go and see those abbey's, they both looked like they are worth a visit but the second one was a bit pricey. Looking forward to your next vid.

[@Claire.O-photo]

It was a lovely route and the Abbeys are definitely worth a visit. It's a shame that English Heritage and National Trust memberships are so pricey. Thanks for your support. 😊

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there Geoff. Yes, a great little road trip between Abbeys, they're not too far apart. Yep, a bit pricey considering the Byland was free. Many thanks as always for watching and for the support. All the very best. Tony and Claire.

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hey up. Yep, it's definitely England, we got a lovely downpour to welcome us back to blighty lol. I just asked Claire for some of her moisturiser and I have been told to 'do one!', guess I'll be buying my own then lol. Many thanks as always and all the best.

Unfortunatly are days of travel abroad are over but we travel all over the UK. So we have English Heritage membership which gives us Access to all these wonderful places. Please keep up up all your wonderful vids, many thanks

[@Claire.O-photo]

We loved our English Heritage membership. Unfortunately it just isn't worth it for us now with the little time we spend in the UK. Glad you are making the most of getting out and about in our beautiful Isle.

[@Claire.O-photo]

And thank you for your kind comments and supporting our little channel 😊

Yep, as Claire said, we had full membership before moving and it was great to make a point of visiting the many locations......a great motivation to get out and about. Many thanks for your kind words of support and positivity. All the very best, Tony and Claire. X

Much warmer down in Spain as you probably know . Strange seeing you back on the left hand side of the road . The nose should be fully healed by now mate . Looking forward to seeing the reformed shnoz . Get that NT membership going mate , I'm in Scottish , much cheaper . Enjoyed this one mateys , take care .

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi there Ken. I'm sure that you are in a lot sunnier place mate, well deserved after your wait. Haha, yep, the old 'shnoz' is on the mend, you can hardly see the scar if you're standing 20ft away lol. Yep, we did come very close to getting a NT membership, but France got in the way lol. Who knows what the future will bring. All the best and travel safe buddy....also update your Instagram lol. Take care.

Evening both, welcome to my favourite area of Britain. Yorkshire has it all. Byland is just one of seven or eight monasteries that Henry VIII decided to destroy in Yorkshire, the best one standing being Fountains Abbey. No winging about being too cold, now you are Frenchies you two, Great vlog and look forward to the rest of the adventure.Tony the scar is no longer noticeable on film so no need to conscious of it. Hope the weather lasted for the remainder of the trip. ❤❤🕍👍Al

[@Claire.O-photo]

You'll (almost) never hear me complain about the cold 🥶😂 we are soft southerners though😂😂😂

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Hi Al. Yes, Henry certainly left his mark on the landscape, religion and history and dare I say, not for the best. 😂🤣Frenchies......Never😂, English men living abroad😎🤔🤣. Cheers buddy, the scar is definitely still there, but glad it's not frightening folks away lol. Cheers. The weather was pretty good although we did have to outrun a storm or two.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

OK, I have a serious question. As a person who has never drunk tea or coffee, and doesn't really do caffeine, I don't understand how you can drink tea late at night right before going to bed. Doesn't it disrupt your sleep?

[@Claire.O-photo]

For some strange reason no amount of caffeine seems to have an affect on Tony. I however am super sensative to it, so I drink decaffeinated tea. If I do drink tea with caffeine in it, it has to be early in the day as it gives me palpitations and then makes me jittery and agitated for hours😬

[@adventurevanfreddie]

Caffeine won't stop me sleeping Dara, not after 50 years of drinking it👍🤣. Mind you, maybe if I didn't drink coffee or tea, I'd look about 30🤔., 👍💙
