      Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hiya you two and Cance , First things first , what was Lorna making ?

Brilliant history lesson Steve , you should have been a teacher 😂😂, no seriously the history of our country is amazing , I just Love it , thanks for sharing, you'll certainly have some Fantastic videos to show your grandchildren and great grandchildren, well done you two 😊👍, how long is it now since you left your home down south ? Any regrets? what's been. the hardest bit so far ?

    that blind summit road footage made me laugh Steve. It reminded me of my Brother in law and his first car which was a Hilman hunter estate. He was courting my sister at the time and came to our house to pick my sister up and mentioned he was "going to see Mr Hill" and did I fancy a ride with them. I thought Mr Hill was someone he knew but no.... it was basically a blind summit upon which he did a dukes of hazzard and we hit the other side in the air and when he landed, he wrecked the rear suspension and we had to be towed home by the AA.....oh how we laughed.
    Another fab video from yourself, Lorna and Chancer with some great locations. Just a few bits to do on Viv before I do a long trip but your videos are inspiring me. I'll tell you in person at some point. Loved the video, love you guys and the channel. Big woof to Chancer and catch you on the next one. Much respect- Kenny

      Holman hunter , there’s a name I haven’t heard in years, the A68 has about 5 blind summit parts in a row near where we stayed, so we kept getting faster and faster until betty could get up them, we had a great time that day, even the upload to UA-cam was a laugh, what I didn’t show was we went to the river Tyne park to upload for 40 mins to get to 20%, and the other day got a £60 fine for not buying a ticket, the things we do for UA-cam eh lol, thanks for all your support and friendship Kenny, we move to little borough, tomorrow, if you fancy a ride out, take care buddy and safe travels 🙏👍👊🥰🚌

      @@richardfinney5081 I didnt laugh either at the time but he was 18, just got his car and not got any road sense. . I was in the back seat and that landing made the whole car vibrate. Another thing he did once was, every winter he would say, lets go for a skid... there was a huge carpark near us which stayed mostly deserted so he'd take the Hillman to the carpark and do automotive torville and dean impersonations with it. He was bloody bonkers.... funny thing is now... he's a test inspector LOL... I often ask him how many he failed today and his reply is... "I do not fail them, they fail themselves" Its hysterically funny when he says it

    You’ve probably noticed by now I’m binge watching your vlogs - thoroughly enjoying your adventures and of course you folks are great fun. You popped up on my thread and it’s always great to see how other’s are exploring their environments… albeit I’m in NZ and am a British citizen ex- Rhodesian/Zimbabwean/South African. My sister is living in the UK but is now heading back off to Spain to join my Aunt. Scotland is still a bucket list for me to travel - Clan McKinnon - Ilse of Skye. Amazing history of the Roman Empire who really must have found Scotland sooo far from everything blimmin cold and wet and the Scots a bloody handful to deal with! Their structures have stood the test of time. What an era to have lived in. Been watching The Outlander series that covers Roman Empire occupation in their initial seasons. Thanks for sharing your adventure to this amazing historical site. Reminiscing about your rough tenting adventures are fun to hear about too. It’s all about the adventure when you get a bit lost. Regarding your uploads and signals have you given some thought to Starlink orbitaltoday.com/2023/03/13/broadband-in-space-is-starlink-available-in-the-uk/#:~:text=Starlink%20is%20available%20and%20has,.starlink.com%2Fmap.

      Hi piper, starling is great, but way to expensive for us in the uk, the monthly fees are crazy high and it’s not a great signal, our friends have it and are always moaning about it, we have probably the best chance of a good signal with our existing setup, but some places we just have to make do with our phones, but thanks for thinking of us, you must visit Scotland and north wales, very magical places, take care piper 🥰🙏👊👍🚌

      @@wanderingbychoice thanks for taking the time to reply. Not too long after I commented about Starlink I was having a chat with some friends travelling around NZ - general concession was when it works it’s amazing but when it’s struggling it’s frustrating rendering it’s reliability and consistency in question. If you’re moving around a lot it’s more frustrating than it’s worth - it’s best utilised when you’ve decided to stay in a fixed spot for a period of time. Yes the cost for most in NZ is prohibitive at the moment. Issues when using vpn’s and sometimes Starlink are monitoring one’s activities will block access to certain sites - not even dodgy sites -weird! There’s no local technicians/ customer services either. Also it seems one’s IP address changes - weird? In addition since our weather has been very variable these days - Heavy rain, snow, and ice can knock out signal for minutes at a time to hours. So for those working remotely/nomadically it’s a huge pain in the butt! Not to mention that Starlink experience network issues too. It’s still got a lot to polish up. So agree with your take in using local providers.
