You're so calm, at least on the outside, I would be freaking out!! Glad you' got out before the tide came. Hope the tooth is OK x
Thanks Heather!
What a crazy few days you had. Glad you got the motorhome out. That waterpark did look amazing.
Thank you xxx
@@RoamingRadfords welcome 🙏
Hello to you all wow great videos coming out brilliant and amazing places hope your all enjoying yourself and I bet it feels strange lol and wow bet you was in shock when you got stuck but at least you got out hope your all OK all the best
Hey Jamie! Thank you xxx
Oh dear.Glad you got it back on the road without breaking anything. I can relate. I parked our previous camper on our lawn for the winter and when the frost melted, the motorhome sunk to the muddy ground. Took a while to dig it out. 😀🇫🇮
Ohhh Yikes! Glad you got out in the end!
What a last few days crown coming off getting stuck 😆😂 glad how you just crack on whatever best way to be love it water park looked mint .camp sites are a must with a pool especially with kids another great vlog keep them coming and take care 🙏👌👍
Thanks so much Bradley!
We love it...👍👌🍾
Thank you x
Awesome vlog guys, fantastic water park & the stress of getting your van stuck which reminded my wife & I of years ago when we brought (don’t laugh) our Vauxhall Frontera 4x4 to tow our caravan.
While on holiday & owning a 4x4 feeling so smug, I dove a little way onto a stoney beach in Dorset, yup we got stuck, even worse the Ford escort parked next to us drove off no problem…how embarrassing was that! Haha lol 😂
Looking forward to your next vlog & adventure of the Spanish tour!
Oh gosh! We are reading that this happens a lot more than we realised!!
Looks like a lot of fun was had by all
Lots and lots😊
Glad You still enjoying your trip and managed to get your vehicle off the beach hope your tooth is okay and everything is goes well for the next three weeks
Thanks Dave!
Hello there, glad you got your 🚐 out. The water park looks great fun. Stay well. Safe travels. All the very best.
Cheers.👍😎
Thanks so much Rob!
Sorry for your drama,but superb vid all the same,Your vids make our day so sunny! ;)
Aww thank you! I love the idea of bringing sunshine ☀️
Great video , love the van 🚐 🤙
Isn’t it fab!
It's amazing to see RV's from around the world. I would have never though this would be front wheel drive.
Ha ha! Live and learn!
We love that place
Us too!
Nice video guys glad you are back road lovely video keep them coming
Thanks so much John!
That aquapark looks great fun! I love following your adventures from not-so-sunny Birmingham.
Aww thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing vlog full of drama!!!!! all problems successfully solved, your boys must have really made the best of the fantastic waterpark...
They had an amazing time!
Glad Comfort were there in your hour of need. That's when you know you've picked the right insurer. Sorry about the tooth, been there too. Let's hope that with Harry being poorly that's the trouble comes in 3's done and dusted. Safe travels.
Ha ha Kim, the sickness went through us all, but it was still a fab time!
@@RoamingRadfords oh no you poor things. Hope you're all feeling better. X
I am currently laid up with a slipped disc and severe sciatica and I have just discovered your channel . I have binge watched your videos and was excited to see this new one today. I cannot get away so I am enjoying having a holiday vicariously through yourselves!! Thank you for helping to keep me sane xx
Oh my goodness you poor thing!
Great video lovely waterpark, next time you get stuck let some air out this will give you more traction more spread, well have a great few weeks can't wait for next video
Thanks Andy
Plenty of drama for you there 👍💙❤️
Too much drama!
Great video guys. How cool was that water park 👌🏻
Good to see you all enjoying it (apart from Steve getting the bus stuck) 😂

Good morning 😀 Lovely part of Spain 🇪🇸 😎 Shame about the getting stuck in the beach 🏖 🤣 No one hurt only your pride Steve 😆 Take care cheers Stevie 😎🏴
Exactly! All of this ⬆️
Nice to see Iam not the only one to get stuck on a beach inch beach in Co Kerry my Renault Master campervan decided it was time for fun and sink it did. But I have followed John & Mandy and fitted a set of Bad ass tyers to my camper BF Goodrichs Ko2s.
Oh no! Sounds like a good plan though!
love yor vids,that jackery is brilliant
omg this is awesome ...... being in OZ..... so far away.............. but looks so good........
Ohhh Lyn! You will have to come visit Europe!
Great video guys!
Stay safe
Smithy
Thanks Smithy!
Will make a great story around a campfire 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
Indeed!!!
Recovery boards,,,,,, you need 4 of them
Oh, and stay off the shingle 😂
Hope all’s well now, looked like a stressful day or two, take care.
All good now thank you!
Keep the good work up guys brilliant
Thanks Terry!
Snap Steve … the bloody french baguettes did that to me too lol… good vids as usual…. 👍🏻👍🏻
😷🤣
i hate stress like that! - right never parking on a beach again !
Ha ha ha, yes! Learn from our mistakes!
Just seen you coming out of the petrol station in Plymouth just before the A38 hope you had a good holiday
Hello!!! We’ve just got off the ferry 🙁
@@RoamingRadfords least you’ve come back to England with some nice weather for the end of the holidays I would like to grab the sticker from you but I was on the other carriageway and couldn’t catch up with you
Glad all ended safely 😁👍
Thanks Steven!
The water park looks great. Guess you were lucky the water never came in as far as the van.
Ha ha, phew!
I fully understand, my front crown came out day 3 of first COVID lockdown, took 6 weeks before I could get re-fitted, great vlog as always
Urgh! So much tooth stress!
Love your vlogs so down to earth ...my wife would be " I told you not to go on the beach I told you nag nag " 😂
I didn’t stop him when I realised what he was planning to do, sooooo no nagging from me.
Hi really enjoy your videos.
On your conversation blog . Loved the chat with life beyond the bricks.
One question you missed. How do you get round the fact you don’t have a fixed address for bank accounts etc.
Omg brill family footage. Bet you slept that night steve lol
Thanks!
Can’t wait for the Lisbon vlog xx
Lisbon was stunning!
All part of the fun guys🤣🤣😂😂👍👍
Absolutely
Great videos,but how do you find travelling around,do you have any issues with narrow roads,bridges etc while driving your Motorhome around
Not really, we use Google maps and be super careful x
Beautiful place. We are good at getting stuck 🤣
All the best people are 🤣
i honestly thought your camper was rear wheel drive,. glad to see you escaped the beach, lol, great video of the water park, i did think at one point you looked a bit flagged out, lol. great video to watch, was very close to there a couple of years ago when we went with friends who live there to mojacar for dinner. look forward to the next step of your adventure, safe travels .
Thank you so much David!
What’s a holiday without a little drama 🎭 😀😀😀
Exactly!! Oh man!
What a great road trip you are having making lots of lovely memories for you all.
Thank you James!
Mentioned you Guys when I renewed my Comfort insurance quote about rescue on beach
I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not for your premium 🤣🤣🤣
You need hydraulic leveling,get stuck you can raise it up and then put rocks under.
Would love it!!!
good vid on your travels stay safe lee
Thanks Lee, final stretch now though!
My son as "Autism "
No more planes to Spain.
Really nice family 👪
This is an amazing way to travel! I’m sure your son would adore it!!!
Hi there it’s Eva if u don’t know me I litrally just saw this chanel if u don’t know me you might know Simon Poizat I’m his daughter i have subscribed!
Hey Eva! Of course we know you lovely! See you next week!
Great attitudes love it, stick to soup and sangria, can't take dentists at the best of times, looking forward to next instalment cheers
Thanks so much Clive!
Did Comfort cover towing off the beach or did you have to pay extra? Water Park looked fun though 👍
Pulling us off the beach was covered and we weren’t charged any extra for it 👍
@@RoamingRadfords Fantastic, I'm guessing a few companies would have stung you for a bit extra.
Took the kids to one of those inflatable waterparks in Windsor (UK). Not quite as nice in typically British grey and overcast weather, but fantastic fun all the same.
So much fun! I bet the kids loved it!
Great to see Harbour Lights, my daughter is there at the moment, we have yet to try Lunar park.
It’s wonderful!!
Great video! The lengths you guys go to for more views 😂 just joking glad you got off the beach, clearly your moho wanted to stay 🏖 loved the inflatable water park went on a similar one in Lanzarote so much fun but definitely hard work too. Hope tooth all sorted now 😊
Don’t!!! There was a moment of pure panic before we found the “content” upside! 🤣🤣
Love you guys, even though I live in Spain.
xx
Thanks Jean
De Nada mi amigas. Happy touring x
Love it.
Another fun packed, informative video, complete with minor disasters!! So glad they managed to drag you off the beach but I suppose that’s the difference between a holiday and An Adventure!!! 😂😂 look forward to your next Vlog!! 😁😁😁😁
We are all about adventure 😬🤣
Wish I was there to help! Such a shame 😕
Thank you that’s very kind!
Hi guys that was an interesting video, what insurance company are you with to get that prompt attention. ROB.
Thanks Rob, we’re with Comfort Insurance and have their additional European breakdown policy
@@RoamingRadfords Many thanks for that.
What a lovely area. I am always getting my van stuck lol
Steven 😬😘
Hi Steve,love watching your videos and they really inspire us to travel. We have family living in Mojacar which I know is near to Villericos and we are struggling to find a nice campsite in that area,can you recommend anywhere please. Many thanks
Hi Carol. Thank you for the kind words. We’ve mainly wild camped when visiting friends in Villaricos in the past, but did stay on a campsite just up the road at Camping Cuevas Mar
goo.gl/maps/AzEe7fHe7aSHS8Qo8
Which was okay, but nothing special.
There is however a lovely campsite just 25 minutes up the coast towards Aguilas called Camping Bellavista
goo.gl/maps/8VM2vXgVy7m9BSjv6
That was a lovely campsite with a great pool and just a short walk to the beach.
Hope this helps x
@@RoamingRadfords thank you so much.We will definitely check out camping Bella vista
hHAH hHA hA Classic, Was like watching a "Carry On" movie 👌😂😂😂
Ohh don’t!
@@RoamingRadfords H Ha ha lol
Oh no! I’m out at bbq, I’ll look forward to watching this when I get home later.😂❤️👍
Jimmy 🤣🤣
@@RoamingRadfords Oh dear god! I’d have been so stressed to have the motorhome stuck on a beech. You still managed to make an enjoyable vlog. Neils had the same issue with one of his teeth. He was so paranoid about anyone seeing him, whereas I thought it was hilarious.😉😂👍❤️
im glad your all having good time with friends.
enjoy and stay safe.
Thanks Moira x
hi ,,nightmare the tooth the exact same thing happened to be in Majorca had it fixed then fell out again ,,i whistled when i spoke very embarrassing ,,i have a had a screw in done now and no more drama,,very sore ,,getting it done and paying for it ,,worth thinking about though ,,looks hot there ,,,
Yikes!!! I hope it’s a swift and painless process for you!
Hi great vlog you need some Bad ass tyres 😆 🤣
Ha ha ha and a winch!
🤣😂
what drone to you have great footage
Thanks Scot, we use the Mavic Mini 2
The water park looked like so much fun. Sorry there's been a few challenges on your trip, but I guess is part of the adventure. Thanks again for sharing your experience in Spain.
It’s all an adventure 😊
i can see u im i. The black van in the quue for the cruise
Hey, we just spotted this. Be sure to find us to say hi and grab a sticker!
Know how you feel losing a crown, lost my front one a month ago...having to wait till September before its fixed and that's private.
Yikes hopefully it’s a quick easy fix for you.
Worth keeping a set of Maxtraxs with you. They would have most likely got you off the beach.
Great tip
@@RoamingRadfords they are reasonably compact but are an excellent bit if kit, there are cheaper versions available. They are used by most 4x4ers when stuck off road.
Regards Peter
what a lovely lagoon , will visit there the next time we are down that way , many thanks for showing it , take care and stay safe
Thanks Leslie, we are pleased you like it! You stay safe too x
It’s never a motor home holiday without something eventful happening ;)
Ha ha ha! Henry 😳😬🤣
I have that too ,crashed into my gutters without rotor protection even though I bought them but great drone but never leave line of site just need some music for it
do you have a music site you use
hope you get a chance to chill out
have you seen the you tube videos on DJI 2
Have you been to Aqualandia in Benidorm? I went there with two mates on my stag holiday once and went on the steepest waterslide I've ever seen!
We haven’t but that sounds awesome!
😍
😊
This is brilliant content, as a fellow UA-camr - I can see how much work/editing has gone into it. You have a new subscriber right here! Glad you got your van out ha 🤙🏻
Ahhh thank you! What a wonderful comment!
What a mare getting the moho stuck!!
I know!
Wow, bet that was stressful! Glad it was all sorted for you all in the end 😀.
Thank you all!
That waterpark looks epic, i think everyone gets stuck at least once
Ha ha! Yes!!!
That must have been a squeaky bum moment.
Very!!!
On my 60th last September both my two front crowns came out eating crackling, I’ve just had two new ones fitted a month ago, now I’m a £1000 pound lighter. Hope you get it sorted.
Yikes! But I’m sure it’s worth the money!!
😱 high drama indeed, well done on the tooth and escaping the beach - I’ll do my best to not emulate either of those but we have booked Santander ferry for May !!!!! Great video as usual, we are loving following the trip 😍
You are going to have an amazing adventure in May!
May will be a wonderful adventure for you.
Hi Steve what size is your jackery is it the 500 explorer thanks baz&debbie

@@RoamingRadfords hi thanks I have bought one now a 500 watt need it for help just like you when off grid 👍
Just recently found your channel guys, looks soooo much fun!, and the quality of your vlogs are brilliant - well done family!
Aww thank you so much.
Steve/Lyndsey can you help me I have just had for xmas off my lovely wife Sue a SONY VLOG CAMERA ZV-E10L i have been trying to use the sony play memories home and the imaging app they provide ,i want to start doing some you tubing but I am finding it long winded and i am getting no were, can you please advise what software do you use for editing and uploading to you tube , and keep it up your videos are very good and i will use your information they are great
Hey Steve, we also have the new Sony ZV E10 and after recording we use Final Cut Pro on the Mac to edit the footage, then we upload direct on the UA-cam Studio site. Hope this helps, if not just shout.
See this is where the problem lays with these camper vans people think they can just pull up and set up camp everywhere .you're lucky you got away with it being so high Up the beach and not in the tide region 🤣.suppose it could be worse at my place in Scotland they're parking up in the cemetery at night and it's graves they're getting stuck in .👍
Are they picking there as it’s the Dead Centre of Town?
Sorry that was lame!
You need some bad ass tyres!
Ha ha
🤢🤢 we did the same in France,luckily the only English speaking person there was the caretaker and he was amazing.pulling our van out.
It’s easily done guys .
Thanks Jay!
I'm sorry but why would you take such a heavy vehicle on to the beach?
Love this channel guys, from a new subscriber 👌
Ahh. Welcome along!
Munch munch!
poor you been there as a scot with bad teeth temp-bond does the job until you find a dentist but not then just go commando
and enjoy your holiday
“Commando” 🤣😷 thank you
Too much moussaka maybe🤭
Ha ha ha!
