  • Before we started researching the UK, we honestly had no idea Wales even existed, let alone knew it was THIS beautiful! We are able to drive through Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, stay in Royal Victoria Park in Bath, and find an absolute BANGER campsite in the mountains. Wales is pretty awesome 🥹

    Cold showers are like a cold plunge, right? Could you shower with cold water in the cold? 🥶

    September is the best month to visit the British Isles and Eire. The weather is better and Cricket is over and the Footie Season is in full flight. You could be a Gooner, a Manc, a Scouser or a Geordie but Saturdays are for pints in the local boozer and football on the telly!!!

      @kyleandmadie Hi, it's Brad, I am the one who sold it to you. I haven't watched the build videos, how has it been mechanically speaking?

    • @kyleandmadie
      @kyleandmadie  Před 11 měsíci

      Oh hi!!!! All seems good so far mechanically (knock on wood lol). We did replace the serpentine belt and transmission lines before shipping it over to Europe! All seems okay :) hope you’re doing well!

    We are in Snowdonia in our van at the moment and the weather is only marginally improving 🙈 Wales is reeeeeally beautiful no matter the weather though!

      We are glad to hear it has improved at all... It's a little miserable being stuck in the van for a week straight 🤦🏽‍♀️ you're so right, it's gorgeous no mater what! Hoping for better weather for you as the Summer moves on :)

    You missed a trick there - Bath is over 3,000 years old. They also have 2,000 year old Roman ruins and a bath house, as well as being a 'picture perfect' looking city! Such a shame about the rubbish weather??? What time of year was this?

    Just when you think uk couldn't be any more authoritarian. Having a older vehicle means paying just to pass thru.
    Just another reason i will never go to that country.

      to be fair, there are Low Emission Zones in Europe too... but it was very different than what we are use to in the US!

    • @AM-dz2sh
      @AM-dz2sh Před 10 měsíci

      Please do not visit.. I would hate for you to realise that the UK/Europe has more freedoms than you. Enjoy your crippling medical bills, no sick pay, socially restraining amount of vacation, lack of employee rights, appalling education system, school shootings, general violent crime rates and oh yeah.. lack of actual democracy! "Democrats or Republicans.. what no other choice? Ok, well I'll take the turd sandwich please?" Shall we take back the woman's choice to abort.. sure! Screw her! MURRICA
      You uneducated brainwashed moron.. LOL
