Engwe EP-2 Pro 2 E-BIKE REVIEW
We were sent this powerful 250 watt bike from Engwe to test out and review as we really did have a gap in our travel toolkit being down to one e-bike!
Riki put it through its paces and certainly had some fun with it and only fell off once! Boys will be boys and always push things to the limit.
If you are looking for a mid size e-bike to take you on and off road, then this could be the one for you....

Sax On The Runway - VANLOVE FEST 2024

We attended VanLove Fest for the 3rd year running as it's one of the highlights of the festival season for us.

Not to take away from all the hard work that has clearly gone in to organising great artists such as Ellie Sax and Kristin Nai...
SOLO TRAVEL - DID SAT NAV LET ME DOWN?

So it's high time I got back on the road and challenged myself to drive the longest distance ever alone in our motorhome for a very good reason!

    Why did you drive a 5t motorhome across the whole field, chew it all up just to move back the the bottom end anyway? Caused yourselves a load of grief and damage to the grass for absolutely no reason🤷‍♂️

    • @TheHillsExplore
      @TheHillsExplore Місяць тому

      Alex I’m not sure if you have watched the vlog? We explain that we are attending an event and the event is being held on that field. So that was where the site owners wanted everyone to park 😊 Before we went on to the grass, knowing the grass wasn’t firm, we spoke to the site wardens and discussed all options. They were equipped with a 4X4 tow vehicle and ropes as this is par for the course when you run a rural site with a large grass field. They run rallies all the time and the grass quickly regrows between events they told us. So armed with that information we were happy to live on the edge and drive on to the grass field. We aimed for higher ground, but that didn’t work out. So we let gravity and nature decide where we parked. It was all fine and mud washes off and grass regrows so no harm done 👍🏻 Campsites all over the UK would be closing down if they only used their grass pitches when the ground was perfectly dry. We had a great time and have stayed at campsites since where they have grass pitches and rain. As long as we are sure they have the capacity to tow you off if needed, then we want to support them with our custom and are happy to drive sensibly distanced from other vehicles and wash the van afterwards so they don’t lose their livelihood 😊 Each to their own on this one, but I hope this explains our reasoning and thoughts on grass pitches 😊 P.S. if hard standing is on offer Mr Hill would take that option every time! But sometimes it isn’t

And I’m so pleased to hear that you are going to try again ❤ I look forward to seeing your photo and it doesn’t matter if you only move a few feet on the first try.

    Lovely video watched it in the car waiting to board our ferry from Bilbao. We’ve never ventured over to Norfolk I’ll add it to the long list. I also like any sort of cake but Biscoffi is one of my favourites.

      Thank you and I hope you’ve had safe travels? If you do get a chance to visit Norfolk during the seal pup season then we would definitely recommend it. There are so many places to see aren’t there? It’s hard to chose where next. Riki has a real weak spot for Biscoff!! 😂

      He is addicted to anything Biscoff flavour! 🤣 They were blooming delicious after they thawed out a bit 😄 We do love a pub stop as it’s a great reason for a meal out. I don’t care how old you are. The 2p slots are such fun! 🤩

    Great video, we did the area a few years ago but never saw the seals. Its nice to see the volunteers roping off the area and keeping them as safe as can be.

      Thank you for the lovely comment. Amazing as it was to see so many seals, the baby seals that hadn’t made it did break my heart and I wanted to run down and move the ones in danger away from the water! There were so many volunteers out in all weathers keeping the humans a safe distance away. More importantly they were also really generous with sharing information and educating people too.

      Hi! Oh no I think there are a lot of bugs going around. Sorry to hear you were a bit poorly too 😟 Amazingly we did manage to drive off first time with only a little skid! I thought for sure we would need a tow. Did you manage ok? Hope to see you at the next one 😊

      We really did wonder if we should just go home 😂 With the outtakes… you can lead a horse to water, but making it drink is a different story 😂😂

      Thank you. I have a tiny little scar still! It could have been so much worse. Who knew slippers could be classed as safety wear!? 😅

    Just watched your vlog. We too bought our van from Oaktree. Great customer experience. What was the total cost for your service & hab check? Thanks and keep up with the great UA-cam vlogs.👍👍👍

      Thank you for your comment. It was £728 in total. Less than we spent on the car! Well worth the peace of mind and Riki loves a trip to see the Oaktree team 😊
