I'm really enjoying following your France trip and all these picturesque villages. Your editing style works well to tell the story. That road looked better suited to 2CVs and reversing was deffo the right decision!
So glad you're getting some lovely sunny weather. Here in Australia we are trying to outrun the heatwave at low 40degrees. We definitely needed a powered site to run the aircon. Love those flamingos.
Great reversing skills Trisha. We live in an area of country lanes and the number of folk that can't reverse is alarming! Lovely video again and really enjoy the history lessons. Once you're back in the UK, if you ever want to visit Suffolk, there is an abundance of old timber buildings. Lavenham is especially typical of a 15th century village with over 300 listed buildings. Thanks again. Happy travels
Great video, wow, brilliant reversing Trisha, and published on International Women's Day (8 March), well done 😀🚐 The flamingos are fantastic, so glad you got to see them up close, and that you bought your souvenir flamingo, 🦩 take care, happy travels ❤️🚐🐶🍾🦩 xx
Fantastic architecture to be seen as you made your way South. Well done Trish for comprehensively dealing with the tricky situation of having to reverse, really impressive! The camping car parks are terrific VFM, thanks for the upload 👍
You are a fabulous driver Trish , I can’t even reverse into a parking space! Those flamingos looked beautiful, what a find. Glad you’re stopping to "smell the roses" in the little villages, much better than boring motorways.
Nice tricky reversing. I've been in that situation myself - had to put in my electric mirrors. Council van coming other way no bothered about going in passing place. Nice tour in France 😊
A very nice video with a rather good show on how to reverse in a VERY tight spot!!! All the villages with their great big churches were lovely, the awesome show of flamingos at the end was spectacular.... Keep safe and out of tight spots...😛
Just " loooved " your presentation 😊 A cab table chat with us ....walkabout with your over commentary....then the lovely music leading up to 🤔🤭 the merry.go.round 🤗 The joy coming through you in your new van venture..... Oh yes and you've past the test of " having to reverse away from tricky encounters " Looking forward to more "oot n aboot" with Kiera n co. Cheers from "Down.under" ❤
Blimey guys there would be tension in our van down that lane ….. well done Trish I like the Martel site and location Wow flamingoes ❤ Looks like your really relaxed - have fun guys
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland A great video. I loved the travelogue you gave of your journey to the south of France. Beautiful little villages on the way. Nice park up by the sea. I loved the flamingoes.
Thanks Michael, the flamingoes were an unexpected surprise, and seeing them up close on their natural habitat was something special for us that we will never forget 👍🐾💕
Great video. And think of all the history around the places you’ve visited. You just can’t beat the wee villages and hamlets anywhere in Europe. Stunning. Loved the flamingos. Cheers
It looks like you've got another fan, my French wife, aka Mme MB. She reckons that some of the villages featured are in the Auvergne. Her late Maman was from the Hérault dept, to the west of where you are in les montagnes noires. Bonne route. 👍🏻
Hari OM Honestly. Satnav has driven me to distraction on this trip oot, and I have had half a dozen multipoint turns to do in The Grey because of such roads (and two farm tracks) as you faced there! It's six metres does pretty well in tight spaces, it turns out. You were brave backing all the way, Trish! Anyhoo - the towns you found looked fab and it's impossible not to feel better for the sighting of a flamingo! Hooroo the noo, YAM xx
Hi its called the Camping Car Park you can apply online if in the UK and the card will be sent to you, alternatively when you go to France to one of their sites you can get a card at the entrance through one of their automated machines.😀
Hi Mike & Tricia, very much hope your adventures are going well. We are just about to buy the Swift 144 but wondered if you could answer one question which is troubling us. We keep hearing that the Whale heating and water system is bad and continually has faults over using a Webasto diesel system. Could you let me know how you have found it so far. Really appreciate your comments and advice and keep posting the wonderful videos.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Hi Mike and Tricia, thanks so very much for your reply and for taking time out to answer my query. That’s great, and puts my mind at rest. Really love the 144 and it’s a perfect layout for us two and Hamish our border terrier. Have a nice day and look forward to more videos.
Hi, can I ask if you have avoided tolls? Also did you need to purchase a crit air sticker? We have been following your journey and hope to visit some of these places later in the year in our wellhouse converted proace. Enjoy the rest of your journey. Many thanks in advance.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot thank you. Yes we watched you when you first got Maggie. We had already seen the proace and knew that was what we wanted but it took us some time to get it due to family bereavements etc

Thanks Donald, even you on the Brompton would have struggled to have squeezed through there🤣

Wow 40 degrees, dont think we could cope with that. The flamingoes were definitely a highlight for us👍💕🐾
I loved following along through those beautiful little villages with you. Great video!
Thanks, we are glad that we are taking back roads to see these villages 👍💕🐾
Love that oot n aboot😊

Thanks Jane, we have not been to Suffolk, must do it one day, have seen a lot of other UA-camrs doing it though👍🐾💕

Thanks Janet, power to us ladies. I still can't believe that we go so close to the flamingoes, and I have my cuddly souvenir to remind me👍🐾💕
Seriously good driving and decision making!
Cheets mate, she's no too bad eh?
She's a keeper 😁@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot
@@ScottishVanTrips 🤣👍
Lovely video,the flamingos were a bonus.looks like you are having a great time x
Thanks, yes the flamingoes were a real treat for us👍🐾💕
Bravo Tricia. Great manoeuvres. Like a professional. I’m loving you Guys travels in the new van. missed it as much as you have. x
Thanks Stephen, it was a very tight spot and so relieved that I was able to reverse out of trouble x
Bravo with all that tricky reversing, so impressive! And just wonderful seeing the flamingoes (and the warmth and light of Southern France...)
Thanks, just glad we managed to back out of that tricky situation and the flamingoes are something that we will never forget 👍🐾💕
Love seeing you on your journey. Looks amazing there.
Thanks, we are just loving it, but weather is still very changeable 👍🐾💕
Have enjoyed all your content, a classic throwing your washing into the machine , great camera shot.
Thanks, good job i remembered to take it out before we started the machine 😀
Fantastic architecture to be seen as you made your way South. Well done Trish for comprehensively dealing with the tricky situation of having to reverse, really impressive! The camping car parks are terrific VFM, thanks for the upload 👍
Thanks, I just took it really slowly on the reversing and let the van roll back👍💕🐾
You are a fabulous driver Trish , I can’t even reverse into a parking space! Those flamingos looked beautiful, what a find. Glad you’re stopping to "smell the roses" in the little villages, much better than boring motorways.
Thanks Tiddlywinks, my dad taught me well to always reverse into parking spaces and yes the villages have been wonderful 👍💕🐾
Nice tricky reversing. I've been in that situation myself - had to put in my electric mirrors. Council van coming other way no bothered about going in passing place.
Nice tour in France 😊
Thanks, yep some idiots on the road. We had no idea why these vehicles had been abandoned there👍🐾💕
Trisha did well getting out of that tight spot 👍 Loved those flamingoes, what a treat to see them ❤
Thanks, the flamingoes were a real treat for us

Thanks Beth, you're right, the little villages are a must see, and they have done so well preserving the history👍🐾💕
Trish, you are braver and better driver than me🎉.
and Mike 🤣
Another great watch, great editing.
I think you were very wise reversing out of that tricky spot.
See you next week 👍 🐸
Thanks, yes think it was the right decision to reverse back👍🐾💕
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊 glad you enjoyed it
Great video really enjoying your road trip thank you.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback Jen👍🐾💕
Another great video guys. Love the flamingoes, and the wee fluffy one. ❤ safe travels. X
Thanks, we loved them too, still to think of a name for the wee fluffy guy👍🐾💕
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot it needs to be a girl’s name with it being pink. Cherie. ? X. (Sheree).
@@000caro555 thanks, her name is now officially Cherie, we love it👍🐾💕
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot perfect. 💕
It looks like you've got another fan, my French wife, aka Mme MB. She reckons that some of the villages featured are in the Auvergne. Her late Maman was from the Hérault dept, to the west of where you are in les montagnes noires.
Bonne route. 👍🏻
Ah merci and big bonjour to Mme MB. So many beautiful villages in France and so well preserved 👍🐾💕
Well done on the driving..girl power lol
Thanks, we girls have the skill👍💕🐾

Thanks YAM, satnav can be a great thing but it can and does get us all into trouble sometimes 👍🐾💕
Great video, it's better to be safe than sorry trying to pass parked traffic on a narrow road with the potential to slip into a ditch.
Thanks Colin, yep we definitely made the right decision 👍🐾💕
Good video thanks
Thanks Lee
Ah Paul Jones and Manfred Mann, pretty flamingo.......... lucky devils.
I had that song in my head all the way home and nearly made that the title of the video👍🐾💕
Hey lovely sharing your adventures in France, what is the name of the parking card again?? Thanks for your help 😊 safe travels
Hi its called the Camping Car Park you can apply online if in the UK and the card will be sent to you, alternatively when you go to France to one of their sites you can get a card at the entrance through one of their automated machines.😀

Hi Ken, we have found the Whale heating and hot water system to be very good and reliable, no issues at all.....touch wood.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Hi Mike and Tricia, thanks so very much for your reply and for taking time out to answer my query. That’s great, and puts my mind at rest.

@@kenandersson7268 Thanks Ken, I'm sure you will love it 👍💕🐾
For walking around, I use google maps on my phone. And for poor/absent signal areas I can download the map in advance. I hate getting lost...
We use that too but there was a lot of development there that was not updated on Google maps and it was very confusing but we worked it out 👍🐾💕
Hi, can I ask if you have avoided tolls? Also did you need to purchase a crit air sticker? We have been following your journey and hope to visit some of these places later in the year in our wellhouse converted proace. Enjoy the rest of your journey. Many thanks in advance.
Yes and yes, sounds like you have the same as our last van Maggie. You will love France, bet you are really excited 🐾💕👍
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot thank you. Yes we watched you when you first got Maggie. We had already seen the proace and knew that was what we wanted but it took us some time to get it due to family bereavements etc
