I dont know how i came across this brilliant vid as soon as the first second I loved this road Traveling wilh my best man in later years to come. J.C Hope and sons. Gosforth Haulage , Cumbria Titch Spedding in an old Scania 81 . it was always a main route for the ship yard and sellafield . Brilliant vid bringing back brilliant memmories from 1982 ❤
I originally started my HGV driving career in 1981 running all over Europe and the UK. I loved it but it was a different world back then what with T Forms, tank sheins, road permits, coffee money for the gendarmes, the Policia etc. Spent 5 days clearing customs at La Janquera once, 3 days clearing in Congorezzo outside Milan! All good fun!! Watching all your videos brings back some great (and not so great) memories! I particularly loved your videos of the trip to Greece! Please keep the European videos coming if you can, a lot of people do appreciate the time and effort it takes to produce them and from a personal point of view, it is great to see how things are now a days.
Well we are back on T1/T2, ATA carnet etc. we spend hours or even days clearing now which just seems ridiculous to me. Brexit is absolutely killing our country
At 21:05 into the vid. The articulated lorries used to take that rout as a little short cut into Barrow from the garage junction in the dip slightly before the junction coming from the Whitehaven direction . Brilliant Scenery.
Good to have you back. Enjoying the videos. Grew up in a road haulage family,and driven lorries for far too many years. I find your straightforward approach refreshing.😎
Im Heading through in question of myself here. as he heads to silecroft. I wonder if the old petrol station is still there . depending if turning left to Millom or Right towards Muncaster castle . . The parking area layby used to be a truckers layby and where the dridge is there was alvays traffic lights . Also the junction to go over corney fell . you could take a scania tractor unit over. im only 7 mins into watching
I've watched from start too finish all your videos yesterday Peter and you the Best on UA-cam I follow Broughtons and Sheridan and Tyke Trucking and one too more but you more Relaxing I can watch you allday mate
Good to see you back! If ever I go back to the UK from Italy in the car I always go via Martelange now for cheap(er) diesel ever since watching one of your PTM trips down south😅
I think the old Pickford's wrecker at foxfield is a Atkinson,great road the A595 gets a bit snug in places but beautiful scenery,try it on a sports bike,great vid & take mate.
a great video Pete, you are very informative and not a bit boring like some of the trucking video's. So glad to have you back. ps couldn't make out if a Scammel in the farm yard
100 years from now every video like this will proper goldmine of information how normal life was back now. You should record every minute of every trip even if no one is watching now. There's never too much video around. Eventually it will be valued highly.
Now then Pete, Martin ex-Bowker Hull. Good to hear you again, Been back on my spanners for 6 yrs now so really enjoying the videos. A bit different from sailing out of Hull P&O
Great video Pete. Lovely scenery but not the best of roads for a lorry. We used to backload out of the wire factory at Millom for Bidford on Avon, Warwickshire. Gvw 38t in a 310 Daf95. Memories😊
UK jolly better than nothing Pete look forward to your next European adventure we all appreciate your time and effort to make these videos enjoy your Easter holidays
Great vblog Pete used to drive thst road yo Millom over twenty years ago carrying steel coils to a factory that made welding rods . That road doesnt look any different .Have a good Easter break all thr beast and keep safe .
I enjoyed Pete,as sad as I maybe😂having driven all over UK,Ireland,Europe like yourself there’s something about watching driving videos…god knows what😂 but there you go,keep um coming fella.
I travel that Road regularly to delivering fuel from immingham to Broughton in furness , very tight if you meet a tipper 😂😂 Snack van ain't bad either ( cash only )
Hahaaaa!!!! Smashing drive along a smashing road!!! Juuuuust like a normal days driving along our national roads here in Ireland…love it!!! Have a cracking weekend Peter,love having your voice and videos back!!! All the best from Ireland fella…🤩👌😁🇮🇪 🇬🇧
@@AnonymousEuropeanDriver You make the drive a LOT more entertaining and enjoyable Peter, great to have you back sir!!! If you make it to Ireland, gizza a shout,be great to meet you and show you round the NON tourist traps…😆😆😆👍
@@AnonymousEuropeanDriver I’m on my way up from Clonakilty,full load of yogurt… I was going to record the journey,but I’m a dull fcuker,with a laugh like Mutley so I rethought that idea and decided it wasn’t worth the hassle…😆😆😆 I spend a fair amount of time on our “national roads”,great craic altogether!!!🤠😆👍
My home territory where you tipping if it was the nuclear plant we live just a stones throw from it brilliant video surprised you never met the tipper boys running out of the two local quarries mad they don't hold back😅
Great video dude, like me I try to stay fit, driving not one of the best jobs to be in to stay fit. I guess out it's difficult to get the time for the gym 🏋️♂️ mind you no excuse for a brisk walk every day. Look forward to your next video.👍😁
Another long relaxing vid thanks Driver! Alright admit it you found yourself twist and turning your neck while watching on this road as on coming traffic. Enjoyed the rain.
