    Watching your blog of La plage grimaud brought back many memories. Stayed on 5 sites there from 2003 .la plage although then having worst management, worst maintained with ancient facilities and dodgy electrics especially during the regular flooding its still remains our favourite site,beautifully positioned and regular trips on our Honda to st tropez was wonderful ,to old now but great memories, thank you for your lovely blogs,enjoy.

    Ha ha how could we not like that video! We got a mention, we had to play it back three times ! Thanks so much for making our night , Lyndz is busy telling all of her mates so you might get even more subscribers. We loved Haverigg, loads of cycling, walking, people watching and we ordered first ever electric bikes too so it will always be special. We have loved every video of this trip but tonight’s is the best yet ha ha. Thanks again guys. Ian and Lyndz!

    This brings back memories, we stayed on the campsite closest to the port, in May 2004, for 10 days which included the Monaco Gp, we caught the fast boat across to St tropez from port grimaud, would love to go back again, drove to St Rafael to get the train to monaco

    Great video guys..
    Just a bit intrigued, by something Mrs Slaw said at 26:00 , she said “earlier we walked past the pits” (whilst referring to the Grand Prix - but which Grand Prix are we discussing here?… The St Tropez Grand Prix (which I am unfamiliar with) or The Monaco Grand Prix)
    It’s just that you are sat in a bar in St Tropez saying you walked pasted the “Pits”?
    St. Tropez to Monaco is 133 km away taking just over 2 hrs by car…. Never mind by bike….

    • @TheSlawsAdventures
      @TheSlawsAdventures  9 місяців тому

      Thanks Sean! At the beginning of the vlog you see us cycle past the Sail GP pits. At 26:00 when I refer to the pits, I follow it by saying it was a boat race. You are quite right there is no St Tropez F1 GP and we were miles away from Monaco, but I definitely wasn’t referring to F1 GP 🤣

    You needn't have roughed it at breakfast. My yacht was there, the one with the helicopter on the back. You should have gone aboard and asked for Harry.
    I remember being in Puerto Banús looking at The Chaf, a huge boat. I spotted a crew member and got chatting to him. He said, "Are you from Yorkshire?" I said I was from Mirfield. He told me he was from Batley Carr and got the job by answering an advert in the paper. We have seen Lord Sugar on the phone on the back deck of his huge boat and also Gary Glitter, albeit a much smaller craft.
    It looks lovely and warm there and you captured some good footage of the views.
    If you need a crew member (lacky) on Helga, I'm your man.
