Our family have been roaming around the UK, Europe and US since 2007. We set off on each trip with only a rough destination in mind, allowing the roads we take and places we stop to evolve as we meet new friends along the way.

Such a small world just seen one of my old friends in the background of this video! 😅
Oh wow!! Really!!
Love the aire at the old station Béjar beautiful village as well
😍😍
Another brilliant video guys ❤️❤️🚐🚐 xx
Ahh thank you x
I met you near the sea yesterday, you are such nice people🇲🇦❤️
Ahh thank you! You, and everyone we’ve met here have been so welcoming x
3 years and that theme tune puts a smile on my face ❤. We've only just come off the Pont Aven this morning in Roscoff. There is a reason she is still the flagship, she's still a queen. Enjoy your adventures this year Radfords, I'll be following along as usual ❤
How you had a fab trip yourselves!
Can’t wait to see you all explore Morocco ❤ was telling my husband, you’re such a harmonic happy family, even the teenage boys, love them too. The way they participate in the vlogging, awesome 👍🏻
Ahhh thank you x
Very interesting to see your video and travel route. I’ve driven this many times with my family so I understand your travel talks. I was really interested where you stayed on beach so looked up your link. I have to say I was really impressed. I have driven along that route between Gibraltar and Algeciras and never knew about that beach. Looking on the map you were looking right out in bay and outside you could have seen the planes land or take off from RAF Gibraltar. They aircraft turn out in the bay as they are not allowed over Spanish airspace. You found a brilliant spot to park up. Great find very impressed.
Always fun arriving at Algeciras port.
I enjoyed watching your video. You look happy travelling with kids. Wife happy with kitchen facilities on board vehicle presiding food.
I’m jealous of you travelling as I sit in uk. Worst summer on record.
You sure made a good choice to travel where you are.
Enjoy your driving and new experiences in Morocco.
Awww thank you so much x
From where we live we use that route a lot. Very quiet once north of Seville. Now Bejar. If you stop there again. Above you is the ski resort of Covatilla. Cool in summer and a great drive up.. From the aires you have the Via Verde (green way, old railway line). Walk towards town takes you through a tunnel. Walk away from town is very rural. Worth doing. Enjoy.
We definitely want to visit again!
George you little pro. 👏
He’s a legend!
Have a great trip 🍀☀️😎🌻🍉⛱️ thanks for taking us along!
Thank you! You too!
i really love watching your videos, back in the 70s dad and mum would drive down the same route to see all our relatives in spain, we loved the old pride of bibao , brings back many good memories , looking forward to your next video.
Wonderful memories!
Binge watched this last night with a wine (or three). Having visited Tunisia a few years back I wasn't sure about Morocco but it seems you are similar to me in that I always want to visit the big cities but I know I always enjoy the smaller towns!
Jo it’s all about Balance 🤣🤣🤣 and wanting everything 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤣
@@RoamingRadfords Real-life struggles 🤣🤣 I still never learn 😝😫
Hi Steve and lins the last time I went to Morocco (driving)was about 40years ago, and I was driving an articulated truck, so I wasn't going to see as many sights as you, even back then you had to reverse on to the ship, no looking in your mirrors just keep your eyes on the marshal, once there in Tangier you realise how friendly your hosts are,the only thing that I found was the road side food stalls that were offering fresh food really were fresh, so fresh in fact, that the chicken was slaughtered there and then, have a Fantastic time in North Africa and enjoy the sights
We’ve walked passed piles of chicken heads!!
Just a minor tip: disable mobile roaming onboard a ship. I know O2 will bill you according to the flag the ship flys under, not your location. I was stung for non-eu roaming on the Portsmouth-Santander trip because it flew an Icelandic flag.
Ouch!
If he’d have asked me to reverse up that ramp onto the ferry I’d have said “you must be jokkkkkin🤣🤣🤣xx
🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video, please make sure next time to take a day off in Salamanca, it's an amazing place 😊
It’s definitely on our list to come back to!
How the bloody hell has this channel only got 31k I’m going to start sharing for you as it’s a wonderful channel you don’t know how happy I get when I see a new upload ❤

I love following your adventures, have a wonderful time xx
Thank you! You too!
We travel to spain frequently, we never take any notes over 20, we find they dont like high notes, even 50s. Have a good trip.
Great tip!
Just got to thank you guys for your review on Camping Albufera currently on site just love the entertainment they put on Saturday night rock band what a night to midnight.
Enjoy your trip looking forward to viewing it all Spain & Portugal so cheap why stay in the UK

Lol “ roads a bit bumpy “ enjoy 🙂 we’ve seen em going on the Moroccan boat when catching boats to Italy/Majorca from Barcelona and we’ve seen some sites,tyres on some bigger than our car others loaded with more stuff on the roof rack than we have in our house😂
🤣🤣🤣
Fair attempt to entertain on a major driving leg of your journey.
Well done 👍💙❤️
It was a long old drive!!!
Have a great time guys.

Thank you! You too!
Hi guys we were on that aire about 4 weeks ago and there’s some strange story about that American RV on there but didn’t get to the bottom of it
It looks like it’s been there a looooooog time!
What a experience, enjoy all xx
Thank you Lynette x
Can’t wait for the next one. We are off to Spain on Wednesday but alas we are going via the tunnel so a long drive from Devon (Newton Abbot) to tunnel then on to the trek down through France to Salou for the 7th August. Will be watching for your future posts. Have a great time.😊
Have a great trip!
Looking like a fab trip guys! One comment thought for Lynsey 😄 spotted in your van - please turn your knives the correct way on your wall, blades should be point upwards for safety 👍👍 even I didn’t know this, but living with a chef keeps me right! 😄
Ohhh I had no idea! I assumed the heavy handles should be on top! Will do this when I get off the 🏝️
Looking forward to following you on this trip
Thank you x
What a great experience,enjoy.❤
Thank you x
Ah brilliant absolutely fantastic keep safe and sound and most of all enjoy
Thank you x

Ut-oh! They are addictive aren’t they!
❤️🇲🇦❤️♓
👍
Lidl will have €100 no problem, well they did for us in Spain 🇪🇸
Great point!
Have the best time!
Thank you x
Great job George 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Ashley!
Great video , very informative 🚐
Thanks Paul x
Safe travels x 😊
Thank you x
Great vid guys, I won't even take £50 notes, so I understand the mistrust. On my frequent trips to Gib, I can see the ships, as we fly over the top of Santander. I used to work in Morocco, when I did some contract work at the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station, worth a visit if you venture that way. Enjoy the trip and drive safely.
We will keep an eye out for it!
They like 500 euro notes even less, so take care.
Makes sense!
George are a natural vlogger😂so sweet
🤣🤣
We're on the Pont aven on Wednesday afternoon from Plymouth, the weather forecast looks bad so hopefully the seas not too choppy lol
On the ferry, How much extra did you pay in the restaurant and did you need to book or just turn up?
Great channel and content
Have a great trip!
About £20 something for the 5 of us! And we just turned up!
The ferry was as predicted.....very rough. So rough that a car went sidewards in the garage during the night causing minor damage to the car next to it. 😮
Have an awesome trip! The app looks good but it puts your home address on for everyone to see so need to sit and see if I can hide it but it does look good.
Have you got cruise control?
Absolutely
Verry good ❤
Thank you x
Hi. Your suspension. Can you not adjust the suspension to cruise smoothly but take in the rough bits as well so that it is all smoothed out ??
You only have the buttons we’ve shown to adjust it to lift or drop the motorhome, it just takes care of the rest
Aha, good news about the Starlink standard package so far!
I think the reason you had a rough patch on the ferry was due to the bay of biscay which is renowned for being rough. I loved your video and is still the same high content from you lovely roaming Radfords. I think George should review more cabins on ferries he is down to the point.
George is comical for sure.
Isn’t he great!
Can you get dog friendly cabins on this crossing ?
Yes you can
22mpg? Crikey, who’s driving, The Sasquatch? 😂😂
🤣🤣 places to be!!!
Hello I like watching your videos, I'm not being critical but I know when a Motorhome has a frontal crash all hell is let loose and your knifes at the back on the magnets are going to fly foward God forbid. All the Best Dave
Are you taking your drone ?
Absolutely not, totally banned here
Aww that’s a shame.
By the way, amazing intro George, nearly as good as your dad!11111😅
Thank you!
Guys, I wish you the best holiday.
Yes, I still watch. I only like on my tv.😉🤦♂️❤️xx
Harry is already taller than Eddie, 🤦♂️👍❤️xx
I will never support Eon K. Hunt. Never….
22.3 mpg is quite good.👍❤️xx
So much to unpack here Jimmy!! Much love x
Surprised you are still using cash! We've used debit/credit cards for all our Euro trips for the last 2 years or so. Some really good foreign use cards out there nowadays.
We use Monzo and Revolut in Europe, but Morocco is a Cash Based economy so we needed to bring cash with us.
Enjoy Guys stay Safe Regards jJohn.
Thank John x
Were you pulled over because of the size of your motorhome? Looking forward to seeing your Moroccan adventures
Yes they just wanted to put the smaller cars on first as the roof gets lower further in, so they kept us in the tall bit
Ah, ok
A wee touch of click bait there lol
Wishing you all an awesome adventure in Morocco. Can't wait to learn more about how you get on, on this trip. You have mentioned Starlink several times in this vlog and then I was very surprised when I think you said... and it doesn't work in Morocco. Did I mis-hear. I travel all over Europe and stay in remote wild camping spots and I have never had problems with my mobile 4G service. I have the option to plug in an external antena if signal is poor, but think I only used it once.
So please help educate me on what I'm missing / not understanding about why you need Starlink. Of course if you already have a video on this, please just send me the links.
Wishing the whole family Bon Voyage !!
The Starlink is just belt and braces. If we are out in the middle of the dessert without any reception the Starlink should still work as it connects through satellites rather than the 4g/5g network.
George is a mini me Dad
Isn’t he!
Without doubt your van a Rolls Royce the best I've seen on UA-cam have a great holiday
Thank you so much, we love it!
Its becsuse there have been aot of forged 100 euro notes her in spain
Yep!
Hi all. Who would have thought you would have to reverse on to the ferry. I also fogot to remnind you about Not buying entry cards of of touts at marocco boarder safe travels
Thank you x
Have you not brought your travel bands. They do help.
Nope!
Can George do all the tours please - just saying 😀
🤣🤣
I was comparing your ”Beast’s” fuel consumption to our own under 3,5ton and I was surprised how good fuel mileage you get. Our computer says 13l/100km which equals 21.73mpg. Must be the speed.
Turning into a cooking show
Ohhh thank you 😊

😍😍😍😍😍
Great vlog dreadful clickbait 😵💫
Click bate only makes people not click.
Was you not happy that they didn’t get a full on search ?
I was ❤
I absolutely love this channel so I wouldn’t mind if they click baited every video you are on the internet after all 😮
Wait to you see us coming through Moroccan Customs 🫣🫣🫣
13k views in 9h. I recon it worked.
@@garethmayhew1676 I agree mate and I’m sure you’ll agree they deserve every success for the effort out in to this ACE channel 🥰
21 thumbs up vs 2 comments says I'm correct. It's a great channel, that's why I left the comment. Click bait will work a few times.
Hiya! Can i just ask,what that kontiki motorhome is? We have a swift kontiki 669 and have never seen one with that amount of wheels🛞 thanks Lisa
Lisa it’s a Swift Kon-tiki 874
