The Reality of Travel Days in our Old UK Campervan [S8-E56]

Van life isn't all beaches and beautiful spots - the reality of driving our UK van around the world is that quite often we have to just drive. This week we have to drive down to Mumbai to get ready to ship on to our next destination.
Do you want to join us for a special party to celebrate the completion of our drive around the drive this September. We'd love to meet you there:

[@jaynedavies2757]

the more i see you travel, the more countries on my list to avoid. how your managing to keep so calm through India, i don't know, i would be such a nervous wreak.

[@ginost7]

middle age english trying to rationalise and question indian traffic is fun to watch but a futile exercise in logic

[@shadowette1950]

I would love to meet you but sadly I missed my chance when you were on vancouver island...

[@mtbelly1972]

Always look forward to Sundays and watching your videos. Thank you for sharing them with us. 😊

[@rebeccaqallaboutthefeminin1794]

You haven't indicated the speed you are going

[@MB-ve6my]

I think Marianne deserves a gold star for her driving on this video. She is AMAZING!!!

[@odomangulati7079]

Is that because she is "white" ? cuze 10 million Indians do that everyday without any gold star or medals or pretend its "heroic".

[@alanbrown2538]

I Have to say that Marianne Did an Excellent job on that Driving,I Was a Professional Driver in the U.K for nearly 50 Years & Watching that Video I Ran out of Expletives ( Swear Words )🤬🤬 Once again Well done to Marianne !!!....💙💙

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

Lol. Brilliant comment.

[@Bambitheman45]

That was nucking futs. Animals just wandering on highways. Dual carriageway way means whichever side of the road you think is quicker... I don't think they have a highway code. Mind you how many languages do they have in India, something would definitely be lost in translation... Well done Marianne, not surprised you needed a lie down in a dark room after that. And to think I hate driving my 2023 plated Fiat Ducato chassis cab in Edinburgh...

[@richardheath8246]

I think you saved the best till last! I couldn't stop laughing at the antics of the other traffic - it explains a lot about what I encounter in a 3.5 ton truck for work on a daily basis trying to pick my way through some of the more "interesting" areas of Birmingham & the West Mids. Except what you encountered is obviously more extreme. Certain "traits" of drivers I encounter seem to have been copied from things we see in this video. You can't get stressed by it, you just have to laugh at it & just when you think you've seen it all some driver does something even more extreme! I reckon many seem to think they are still in Mumbai, not in UK. I usually just treat is as a challenge now, a bit of fun! Well done Marianne for coping with so many hours of it! Almost makes me want to try driving in India!

[@sophiemarcaurele]

I love Indian music, what a treat! 👳🏼‍♀️🎶 I'm sorry you're getting so many whiny comments about the "boring" driving videos from viewers who don't understand you're on a deadline and must make good time, as China rejected the visa and you had to do a detour.... some people sure feel entitled to dictate youtubers on how to run their channels when they just have to sit there and enjoy the free entertainment you spend so much time filming and editing! 🤨🥴 The vast majority of us very much appreciate you, thank you for the privilege of taking us along on your world trip! ❤❤ 🙏🏼🐄 🦚

[@lynnechandony3697]

Gosh I don't find any of the videos boring. They are driving places I have never been. I LOVE IT.

[@avisekghosh6375]

😂

[@odomangulati7079]

That is NOT Indian music you hear in their video. its British version of something resembling Indian music. Its a "CRINGE" version of a generic "Indian bollywood music"

@@odomangulati7079 speaking of which, the word is actually "cringe" 😬😅

[@sarlapurohit1216]

​@@odomangulati7079 Yes,definitely Indian music, in background music playing with Sitaar,and Tabla❤

[@jerryding8848]

What a road warrior Marianne is. Driving a stick shift in Indian traffic madness hours at a time. Hats off to her.

[@Reddylion]

Murican roads are as worst....... it's only the bikers who irritate me.

[@Saisunil772]

In india almost 90% of vehicles are stick shift only.😅😅😂

[@davelee-00]

What absolute carnage on those roads. After an hour I would park up and walk away from my vehicle, never to return!! Hats off to Marianne. ✴✴

[@nigeldavey1043]

I made the mistake watching this installment on my tablet, propped up on my bed because it's the coolest room in the plus 30°c temperatures we're having at the moment but I have found it so frustrating that I can't now get off to sleep. 🤔🤣 It's 12.15 and my head is still buzzing. I can't believe you haven't seen so many serious collisions that you're reduced to nervous wrecks. It's absolute madness. I've been a driver for over 50 years and until seeing your drive across India I thought the worst it could be was something like my experience of driving in Malta 20 odd years ago. I've always fancied going to India but I think I've changed my India. 😬😯

[@jilldinneen4271]

Wow Marianne, you are one intrepid woman. Great navigating Chris. My heart is still racing from your traffic gridlock! I hope that you had a good nap after all that. You deserved it.

[@VedaSay]

I drive this stretch of the journey many times, never seen traffic that bad. This was totally crazy. Excellent work. One tip, open your cola or the lemonade , put on loud music...only way to beat that craziness.

[@joewillistexas]

Love your experience!! I've spent about 4 months in India over the past two years and I love it. You should have spent more time there!!! Marianne is an excellent driver to have adapted to the Indian "style" of motoring. Traffic rules are merely a loosely followed " suggestion". FYI I think the gathering is likely related to the recent election.

[@vinnie4117]

Marianne, you are a fantastic driver, I have been driving for 40 plus years and I wouldn’t fancy driving those roads.

[@simcha62]

That is the most intense, entertaining, inspirational, exhilarating trip I've been on with you guys. Now I'm exhausted! I can only imagine how you feel.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sueprior9184]

Marianne you deserve a trunk full of medals for that driving. You kept so calm. Hats off to both of you. Thanks for sharing your travels in India. It has never appealed to me although i love the people who seem so so friendly. It still doesn't appeal to me. Safe journey.

[@SandraGartner-hj9ty]

I applaud Marianne's driving skills. We visited India this spring and Indian traffic was the single most incredible and anarchic thing we encountered there. I would never ever ever ever dare to drive a vehicle there. Well done you!!! (By the way, always fix the price of a guided tour or anything at all beforehand 😉 would be my advice to anyone who plans to travel to India.)

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you - and that is THE best advice !!

[@Val_E_Chavez]

I think it’s fabulous that Marianne enjoys driving ! Why not ? Chris does his part as well and it seems to work. Here’s to another 27 plus years together ! 🙌🏼🤟🏼🫰🏼

[@darwinstubbie860]

Hi Guys. This has become my Sunday afternoon Entertainment. I love the way you make your videos. It is just like being there minus the heat, dust ans smell. Chris is probably a better camera operator than a driver and Marianne was doing exceptionally well not putting a scratch on Trudy.

[@linsampson5308]

What I like about these two is their competence

[@tanypie1321]

Marianne I am always so in awe of the way you handle things. I am a confident driver and will drive just about anything anywhere, but never would I attempt India!😂 You are both such an inspiration. I laughed out loud 😂for real when Chris said he needed to lie down in a dark room..I needed it too and I am watching this from my sofa!!😅 Love your channel and always look forward to Sunday mornings to watch. Stay safe ❤

[@user-wp7zn8ii5u]

"I need to lie down in a dark room". That is when my husband would say this calls for chocolate and alcohol! You both are road warriors, love the videos. Thank you for showing me something I would never otherwise see. 💖💓💞

[@ChristopherHarris6005]

Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. These were some insane roads x10 y’all both have nerves of steel. But where did y’all stop for food on this leg of the journey? Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s journey around the world.🌎

[@LadyLsound]

Haha ! funniest near the ending guys, with the traffic jams! You truely did great!

[@allamericandiner]

Hi, I feel real bad for your below par road experience. I have driven extensively in Northern and Western India and while that’s nowhere close to highways of Europe, it feels it should be better than lot of the roads you have been on. Not sure why there are so many State roads. I wish you better luck and experience on the highway and also better hotel experiences. Great work in negotiating all that traffic and wildlife, it can be daunting! Really impressive how you managed it. Hope you have a smooth stay and experience in rest of your trip.

[@chrisjones2028]

hi Marianna and chris, we tow a 24 year old caravan around the UK and my wife also does most of the driving. Not really given it much thought until friends and family said shes so brave driving around the M25 with a caravan. i think you guys are so brave and inspiring. thanks for sharing your travels.

[@kylee23569]

After the Indian roads I wondered if you ordered and kept an extra set of struts etc . And had several spare tires with you . Marianne , you are a ROCK STAR ⭐️ driver !

[@shelleylake4430]

M- you are such a confidant driver and c - love your comments at M drives.

[@SusanDavid-dr6nh]

Congratulations- you have a great working team. I am British and live in South India and find the driving here is amazing as you both have pointed out - no rules! Thank you both. Wish you had come south possibly next time. A very beautiful part of this continent.

[@katewilliams4876]

I am on the edge of my seat during the whole India experience. Once again, a fascinating place, full if welcome people. Just too chaotic for me. Marianne is tge best driver EVER!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@shadowette1950]

It seems that you and Chris have your "jobs" equally divided you drive , and exceptionally well,, and Chris does the videos etc, exceptionally well.... ❤❤ for both!!!

[@valeriethoresen8567]

Well done Marianne on taking on such confusion traffic. I LOVE DRIVEN BUT I COULDN'T DRIVE THERE IF YOU PAID ME TOO ... total mayhem.. think I will stick to UK driving. 👏👏👏

[@paulb345]

I have been watching you since Turkey. Now I am surprised to see that during your India trip you never mentioned the names of the towns on your path, not showing what you are eating, conversations with the locals etc. Try to include those please!

[@dikeledimothiba65]

Yeah, I just started today with the Southern Africa videos and now this one😅 all they are able to manage is to survive the chaotic driving😮 it's wild!

[@odomangulati7079]

@@dikeledimothiba65 You mean the "amazing" driving they managed which a 100 million Indians do every day without complaining or whining or pretending its an Olympic event ? I guess even driving a vehicle in "India" is heroic when a white man or woman does it. Racism and its many forms ..........

[@carolglew9065]

You two are amazing, what a team. Thoroughly enjoying your videos.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks so much!

[@NRJIID]

Marianne, I have cringed and prayed while watching you drive through India. I could absolutely never. My nerves would be shredded. I'm guessing those asking about you as the driver are newer viewers. Those of us following you and Chris since your early days know your routine. Safe travels to you both! Namaste. 🙏

[@maximichaels9022]

Hello mates,Maxi from SF now in Texas..I've been watching your channel for awhile back in Thailand you gave Paddy a ride up north & now driving thru India, you are, Maryann a courageous patience driver& I pray a continued journey home safely & in good health..take care mates❤

[@Aaron-P]

According to Wikipedia, the peafowl (chickenus discotechia) *does in fact* originate from the Indian subcontinent! Wow, how about that! With Mimi and I watching the video, that makes four of us total going "Whooaaahhh" over all those bumps! 😫😫 Good ol' trusty Trudy! 🚐💪 Liked all the safety signage! "Better 'Late' Than 'Never'" was my favorite. Doing the maths in my head, you guys were averaging 25 mph with the traffic and roadworks, etc. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 That concrete checkpoint chicane was a bit mad! Wooph, after the last push into Mumbai, I wanted a stiff drink just watching! I settled for an ice-cold Diet Coke, though. ❤️❤️😎👍xx

[@nickworley1000]

What an endurance drive and to keep so cheerful What a brilliant driver though 😮

[@Astrodenizen]

Thank you for taking us to India. It certainly looks like it has been an adventure. As for Marianne driving - it is common in the UK for women to be the primary drivers. Anyone commenting likely hasn't been to the West. Most Vanlife youtubers are women too. You both rock!

[@LokeshM-en3zn]

Nice video & beautiful background music🎉

Absolutely loving your trip to Mumbai. Cannot believe what I'm witnessing, the guy holding the pole was such a laugh. Anything goes in that country. Dave

You never lose your cool, you embrace the adventure and you have mastered the skillful dance that is the Indian traffic… you are amazing !! I was born and bred in India so I am well versed with that dance and to watch you get into step and rhythm right from the get go, first time in India, driving at night you deserve a medal. It’s obvious how proud of you your husband is and so he should be. Well done! Hats off to you. Stay safe both of you and 🥂 to continued happy adventurers 🙏🙏 ❤❤

[@sherylsimpson4841]

Hats off to Marianne. Driving in India seems to require exceptional driving skills and nerves of steel which you have in abundance. I am a transit bus operator in the States and also a female. Why there are those who think women can’t drive well is beyond me. I know plenty of males who couldn’t handle the driving there.

[@kenkyukai100]

Great content, would love to see some more of the everyday stuff you do while driving these long distances. What do you do for breakfast lunch, how much is it? where do you go to the toilet? What do you drink during the trip and where do you buy it?

Thank you. We love watching your adventure and look forward to Sunday evening when we sit down and watch your weekly video. I hope you are enjoying the journey although it must be very hard at times. We wish you all the very best and a safe journey. James and Honor.

[@tracyruth4247]

In watching many videos of people traveling in India, I've come to the conclusion that there are so many people driving in India there's no way they can control them. They make their own rules, especially the lorry drivers, because they have a mission to deliver goods and cannot afford to be idle. Great job driving!👊😊👍

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you for sharing the adventures! So much patience!

[@the_mum]

I am so enjoying these videos in a country I can never hope to visit...but I must say the music is just hypnotic. I love it...minus the singing. It is the drum beat that grabs me. Beautiful. I am amazed at Marianne's driving skills...stick no less. Well done both of you.

[@jericho1961]

That last leg was absolute insanity on steroids!!!! How you managed to needle yourself through that chaotic mess borders on the miraculous! So well done but it must have come at a price. Spent likely doesn't begin to cover it.

[@ParantapSharma]

21:00 slow lane is fast lane due to a reason/problem in india, actually their is no proper footpath/sidewalk at most of the places and no proper partition also between people walking and the left side of highways, and if some slow vehicle(ex. truck) wants to cruise at a slow speed peacefully then they have to move sticking with the divider(and thats now become a habit too). if someone sees a place where people are not walking on left, you overtake the truck from left. if you are a motorcyclist, then you can easily overtake from left. overtaking from left is not very ideal, but thats due to poor markings/partitions, almost non existent footpaths. Imagine that a truck is moving on the left lane, and suddenly there are pedestrians walking on the left side, and the same time a big bus decides to overtake from right, then that truck is sandwiched between pedestrians and bus, creating a very dangerous situation. So, the onus of taking care of not hitting pedestrians while overtaking is on the overtaking bus driver, and the truck driver can keep moving sticking to the divider peacefully without thinking.

[@woox007]

Now that's what I call an epic drive as you both have nerves of steel to cope with the roads and bad drivers in India. I lived there for 1 year and all I can say is never again.

[@glennamiles3566]

[@jasonzisser6441]

As someone with mild Asperger tendencies, I couldn't look away from watching the traffic chaos and in rapt horror. Marianne is incredible to have driven a large vehicle through all of this. That said, I didn't see many vehicles with dents in them so maybe this works for the Indians.

Seriously - once again, you and Trudy have done an amazing job on the driving through India! From poor Trudy tackling pot holes and high-rise bumps to Marianne dealing with everything that moves on the roads - be it animal, human or on wheels, you’re doing marvellously! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Big up to you!

[@robscovell5951]

On the topic of the Indian highway code: I took a theory test in Thailand to get my license. There were no questions about signs, road markings or rules. It was all about strategies for not getting into accidents. There are three fundamental principles: do not hit anyone else; do not cause anyone to hit you; do not cause anyone to hit anyone else. Speed limits and signs are not observed but if there is an accident, they are taken into account when assigning responsibility.
