  • Join us as we move on in our early retirement alpine adventure to the Haute Giffre in the French Alps. We discover possibly the best and wildest campsite in the French Alps. We spend our days cycling, hiking and wild swimming in the hidden places.
    We are Richard and Jackie and we live in the UK. We have chosen to early retire from teaching during the summer of 2022 at the age of 51. We are currently on a 3 week trip to the Alps, with no plans just our desire to find the hidden wild places.
    You will soon realise that we are complete UA-cam beginners with all the challenges of creating and publishing videos ahead of us, not to mention uploading when on the road.
    Please subscribe and like our videos if you like what you see.

    Many thanks,
    Richard & Jackie

    Hello, I'm glad i found you as we are off to France at the end of August and your videos are very helpful. We also plan to tour Europe for three months next spring. In this video you mention your Wild Guide, looking on the website there are a few that cover France, what particular one are you using on this trip please?

      Hi we used the wild guide to the french alps which was fantastic with so many great suggestions of more remote places to visit. We have a link to it in our Amazon shop 😊 Enjoy your trip, France is such a wonderful country to explore 🚐

    Spectacular! I’d have had to be up that mountain… Louise would have stayed at the tent making sure we didn’t get through any more than a litre of wine 😀

      Yes we realised a while ago that we both needed Mics 🎤 particularly if we were filming outside so hopefully the last half of our video collection should be much better sound wise 🤣

    What is the card and how do u get hold of it please?

      Hi Beverley- it's the ASCI Card that is used across Europe for low season camping. Have a look here: www.campingcard.co.uk
      It runs for 12 months and restarts in January each year. For most campsites it offers discounts for the start and the end of the season. For example we stayed in Calais last night for €20 inc EHU. This would normally cost €36 at this time of year. Not all the savings are as great, but we definitely made our money back on our this road trip.
