  • I’m leaving behind the car adventures for a while in pursuit of sorting Bó out from the mouse attack & moving back in.

    Great to hear the van is back to livable again Jake. Can’t have been nice having to sort it after they’d run riot in the van. And 10 days in a car in Scotland in weather warnings is a solid effort. I’d have thrown the towel in after a day 😂. Keep the good stuff coming. All the best

    In the nicest possible way; mad as a box of frogs but utterly awesome all at the same time! Keep the dream alive mate 🤙🏼

    Keep the content coming Jake mate! I enjoy all the topics. Even a pleb talking about the tread on his extra wide, zero drop new trainers that he doesn’t even like and hates the colour! Haha 😜 love it!

    You're a quality lad! Bet your mum is proud of you. Always enjoy your intelligent and down to earth content. Glad your home is thoroughly demoused.

    Just recently started following your journey and absolutely loving the videos. You seem really sound and are a pleasure to watch and listen to. I wish you all the best with your goals and I hope the mice now know their place (which is outside).

    You made the right decision. The car was far too small.. Our UK weather is wet enough for camping, without being in a steamed up tiny space. Most unhealthy.

    Don’t beat yourself up about not staying in the car. You did better than me, I managed a grand total of one night in my car in Devon a few weeks back and at half four in the morning I was booking myself into a hotel. So you did amazingly

    Hi Jake, have you worked out how the little furry bastards got in? Any counter measures possible?
    We have a small invasion nearly every year in the house - they squeeze under the doors - they usually get into a bag of rice or something, and poop & piss everywhere - the mess is nothing compared to your van, though.

    How does your van do pulling up the Lake District hills? Have you driven up Hard Knott pass mate?

    • @JakesJourneyMate
      @JakesJourneyMate  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Not the strongest engine being a 2.0L 130bhp, front wheel drive & the length of her doesn’t help. Hard knott in the dry last year saw me reversing down as the engine just wasn’t strong enough & the S bends meant I couldn’t get a run up. Medium wheel base would be sound I reckon, the older 2.2 Ford engine they put in would probs be better

    Hi Jake
    France has firmly rejected the proposed amendment to the French Immigration and Integration Bill, which sought to grant an automatic visa/visa waiver for 6 months to UK subjects who own 'secondary residences' in France. The decision by the French Constitutional Court on Thursday, January 24, 2024, is considered final, with no avenue for appeal. Check it out yourself, but I think you will find it is still only 90 days for all UK tourists to anywhere in the Schengen area, that's a bit of a b**** isn't it
