Hello! In today's episode we start clearing our rickety ruin situated half way down the hill on the right side of The Wild Lands. We start on the more intact part of the house, removing the fallen roof and digging out the rubble. This is in readiness for putting a new roof on at later date, we've so many jobs to do its hard to know where to start! So we decided to do little but often and in the coming weeks we'll be focused on access and parking. Features Martin from Houseless not Homeless, check out his channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/HouselessNotHomeless We are now the proud owners of a stunning off grid property in Portugal, Lobateira, which we've renamed 'The Wild Lands'. We've been searching for our own slice of heaven to start a homestead. We decided to base our search around the Castelo Branco region of Portugal, as the land here is not only beautiful, but far cheaper than the Algarve. Equally, there are many off grid families in the region, and we wanted to be close to a community of like-minded people. We were 'stuck' in the UK (again) since returning to see loved ones over Christmas while we waited for our D7 Visa for Portugal. After nearly 6 months of waiting, we got to leave! This was a mammoth task as we had to transit through France to Spain in 24 hours or less! (see previous videos) Now we've finally bought our own at land in Portugal. Follow us on our adventure in the sun! (and sometimes biblical Portuguese rain!!!) As we start turning The Wild Lands' into our own off grid heaven. ?

This week we chat about how we travelled in the beginning, 18 months ago, and how we travel now - to discover what we wish we had known when we started travelling Europe full time in a van! We share what we've learned, and digress a fair amount (as we do) and Morph makes an appearance too! Watch to the end to find out what's coming up in the next couple of weeks... Apologies for the sound of the sea creeping in again - we did a test run with the door almost shut which was fine - but the sea seems to have gotten louder as soon as we started filming for real! It's just too hot to have the door fully shut, so we do apologise, and hope you don't find it too distracting. And finally - Morph is shedding a lot at the moment, so that's why we keep rubbing our faces! All the cat fluff!

Hello! We have a fabulous video today as we race (again) albeit slightly slower than the previous challenge as we go from the most Northern point border crossing from France into Spain and all the way down the entire country to the Med. We also talk you through our route, the mileages and, diesel prices and what the total journey cost us. Our van AKA The Sub breaks down mid-journey too :( BUT did we make it? And how did we survive the 44 degree temperatures in central Spain, it was HOT! A negative PCR test is required to travel on the Eurotunnel and enter France, as well as several French documents of declaration. Current Spanish Gov information states you 'may' require a PCR test upon entering Spain, we did not and the border was unmanned. Please check Gov websites for latest travel restrictions. A summary of all the current requirements can be found here: ▸ https://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/travelling-with-us/latest/covid-19/#foca We've been 'stuck' in the UK (again) since returning to see loved ones over Christmas while we wait for our Visa.

Hello! In today's vlog I talk about why you shouldn't use a satnav, installing a new head unit (Android in cab DVD/Satnav/CD Player).
