    Absolutely fantastic Tom, I have a deep affection for the Alps, not skiing but cycling the climbs and following the Pro’s on the Tour and Giro. I’m now preparing my Disco 1 for a week of Welsh lanes and wild camping in January and will raise a cup to a fellow scenic coffee addict. Keep up the great work 👍

    Really enjoyed that - thank you. Cinematic, thought-provoking and inspiring - clearly a lot of work to put together. I’m at the beginning of my overlanding journey, to get me out in wilder and wilder places for photographing the night sky. These alpine routes have just made it on to my list! Subscribed and looking forward to checking out your other adventures. Paul.

    Lovely stuff
    D2 roof is super flat for RTT
    Remove the useless rear foldable seats and you have tons of space for your camping gear.
    Just love those roads

    Hi Tom, actually I was looking for LR Discovery2 stories when I stumbled over this channel and liked it....I did col del Sommeiller during the Stella Alpina Rally for motorcycles...I remember it was brutal and I was completely exhausted! I would like to know how the Disco is holding up, is it a reliable partner? For me it's one of the best looking Landrovers so far but it's reputation is somewhat unreliable. I went from motorcycle camping to a camper, but I feel like the the difference is to big...now I'm thinking to build a 4x4 like your Disco to reduce my footprint and be closer to nature. Would you recommend the Discovery2 Td5? Keep up the good work 👍🏻.

    • @overlanddiscovery365
      @overlanddiscovery365  2 місяці тому +1

      Hey mate, holding up pretty well so far! Few niggles here and there but I think the biggest thing is to keep on top of stuff as much as possible. They’re a great truck and I love it just gotta learn them inside out and know what to keep on top of 🥰

    I am still to plan my first journey on my D1, but your video made me wanna jump out of the couch already. Any chance you could share the track just out of curiosity?
    The frames and drone shots are really neat and effective, I would only humbly suggest you balance your voice a bit better, because sometimes its a bit difficult to understand with the music, and we get pulled away from your gorgeous shots. Really well done! Keep it up!

      Thanks for the love mate! I would have been coming up into the alps around end of June early July. The tunnel du parpaillon only opened the morning I got there due to being blocked by ice. And the col de sommelier was still pretty snowy up the top.

    • @arborigenie
      @arborigenie 11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the quick get back! Yeah, I was wondering when this was, because of all of that snow up top! Good stuff! I watched your other videos and you pretty much did the same trip as me, from the west to east through the pyrenees, only earlier in the year! Keep up the work! Looks stunning!
