I love your channel and all your explanations of the ins and outs of your life on the road, it is fascinating for a non trucker! Thats the River Bidasao next to the N121, I believe the water is controlled by dams , there is a Hydro Electric station as you go up and away from Irun towards Pamplona. I have been driving this route to Malaga area for 40 years, Dover-Calais to Poitier via Rouen ,N154 Evreux ,Dreux,for first day, then down the N10 to Irun and up and over on the 121, round Pamplona to Tudela and then across country to Medinacelli(where you filled up your water1) and down the A2 to Guadalhara and Madrid,sometimes we stay second night at Marivella near Calatayud. Then third day down past Madrid , Manzanares, Valdepenas, and then Granada on the A4 then Malaga and arrive for tea! Always stay at the Hostals in Spain, they are such good value. HAve also driven accross from San Sebastian to Santiago de Campostela, and down through Portugal via Huelva And Seville in the south, and have also tried other pyrrenean passes int he summer. Try not to use the AP roads and the autoroutes if I can. Keep up the wonderful vids and stay safe.
Your not talking to yourself,, I’ve not long discovered your channel but I’m working my way through them all,, bloke or sheila makes no difference,, you’re a real gem and probably the easiest person I’ve watched on utube yet,, you’re lucky I’m in Oz
Since I discovered your channel ( and subscribed ) I've been going back through the vlogs . No shouty clickbaits and calm talkovers on the realities of working as a truck driver in Europe . ( beautiful scenery to having to fit extra locks ) . Was a dream of mine as a UK HGV driver but too old now . Thanks for the uploads
I so agree with you, a stunning place to stop and have a picnic. On my many travels, I think the best place I've stopped at is at Glen Coe in Scotland, awesome scenery. Its great when you come across this little bit of heaven. You should make notes of the places you've stopped at, and if in the neighbourhood again, stop and have a look round. That's one thing I missed when working in a city, no where to have my lunch on a summer's day. I think that's why I loved camping and caravanning. I too love walking in all weathers. Rain doesn't bother me at all. Have you ever thought of taking a bike along on your travels? I had a Marin bike. They are so light. Mine was a mountain bike, but you can get hybrid for both rough and road biking
There are some beautiful parts of Spain it's a pity many people only fly to Benidorm etc for their hols, there's so much more to see. On the camino, Galicia would be my favourite. If you get a 24 at one of the big centres where the camino goes through (Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos, Leon etc) you could walk a section of the camino & get a taste of it & meet some peregrinas. Just follow the yellow arrows or shells. You did say you enjoy walking lol.
Just subscribed Sherralin, great Videos and great information about the areas that you pass through and the areas that you tip in etc….Your a breath of fresh air! Kind regards and safe travels. David.
Hi great vid, that road up past sunbilla was a nightmare in the early eighties the 121a it was all hairpins and up and down you should of tried it in a Scania 111 with dodgy trailer brakes an exhaust brake that was useless,good old days.
Good morning Sherralin 😊 Another fantastic ride with you 👍🏻 I do get itchy about doing it again after riding with you lol 😆 but I’m too old now lol 🤣 Sad you’ve got to lick you in your cab 😢 But safe is better than sorry 😞 Love the tacho bits and I think you should do more especially fir new driver coming into the driving world 😀
Thank you. Some of the earlier videos are in a different format but they should still play ok. Some ones I’m really proud of, like the one going through the Gibraltar tunnel as not many do it. Hope you enjoy them. 😁
@@GBtrucklady i sure will 😊👍 do you have any vids on driving hours digi cards etc.been out drinking for many many years and thinking of a return but these all confuse me 🤦♂️
hello de Belgique, votre reportage est super avec de belles prises de vues et la route dans les montagnes est très agréable à regarder .merci et à la prochaine vidéo.
Hi, firstly thanks for your support. I think what you are referring to is the control for the night heater. It’s on a cord so if you sleep with your head to the left (like me) you can stretch it to reach.
Spent many a Saturday night in the garage at sunbilla ,you couldn’t drive 22.00 to 22.00 Sunday the it was a mad dash to Madrid head for Sofia then medineccli then N2 down great days
Thanks for watching. The answer to your question is still the same as I answered you before. Under the tachograph rules & regulations, after 6 x 24hr shifts, a driver must take a 45hr test period. This can be reduced to 24hrs under certain circumstances. More information can be found at www.gov.uk/tachograph

There are drivers who carry bikes, a colleague has an electrics scooter she takes with her. I’m happy to walk. 😁
Green Spain is stunning and its a part of the country most tourist's never see, I'll be there again this year God willing. Thanks Sherralin
Very true.
@@GBtrucklady Excellent reversing

hi what an ideal place to park relaxing next to river great video as always look forward to next 1 .
It’s a stunning place to start the day. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for another great video.. The road systems in Spain look better than ours..
Thanks for watching. Spain is a big country so traffic is spread out a bit more, the cities are just as bad as everywhere. 😁
You are an excellent truck driver, driving thru narrow winding roads. Thanks. 🙏🙏
Thank you.
