#vanlife #campervan #travelCompleting a 5 year Road Trip - THE 4 CORNERS OF EUROPEGadget John Adventures2025-08-24 | Since 2020, and a random visit to Tarrifa, a very strange roadtrip started to take place that wasn't really anything that needed completing, even after visiting the western point of Portugal the connection hadn't been made of the geographics extreme points of Europe, that was until Summer 2022 when I visited Nordkapp at the top of Norway, at this moment I'd visited 3 most extreme points of Continental Europe, and shortly after Mandy pointed out there was one left!
So here we are, completing the 4th geographical extreme of the Continental Europe landmass, the most Eastern point, the one that doesn't seem to be visited by anyone as a tourist destination, well unless you're into completing trips like this and also find any reason to go on an epic roadtrip.
So grab some snack, a nice drink, and follow me as I take you to all 4 corners of Europe.
For reference I followed the well known points for the North, South, East & West, which are: Extreme points of Mainland Europe Northernmost point. Cape Nordkinn (Kinnarodden), Norway (71ยฐ08โฒ02โณN 27ยฐ39โฒ00โณE) Southernmost point. Punta de Tarifa, Spain (36ยฐ00'00.2"N). ... Westernmost point. Cabo da Roca, Portugal (9ยฐ29'56.44 W). Easternmost point. Ilomantsi, Finland (62ยฐ54'33.1"N+31ยฐ34'52.7"E)
In no way am I rewriting the endpoints of europe, I'm just showing the pints I visited and why I visited them, mainly so others can follow and even make their own roadtrip.

#vanlife #campervan #travelVanLifers Nightmare - Blown Engine in EuropeGadget John Adventures2025-03-21 | What would you do if your van could no longer be lived in? Well that's the question most people want to ask us and this video shows just what happened when the engine in Johns van had a catastrophic failure while we were in Luxembourg with just a few schengen days left from our 3 month winter adventures.
We couldn't fit all that went on in one video, so we've split the videos into smaller chunks for a much easier to follow mini series. So don't forget to keep checking our channel for the follow up videos coming over the next week.

#vanlife #campervan #travelFinGadget John Adventures2025-02-25 | Travelling through Portugal and along the N2 this week were at a nice lakeside parkup, again, because who doesn't love a lakeside parkup eh?
After a couple of weeks off it's given us the space to really think about how we travel & make content for youtube, moreover its given us time to think about whether it's worth the effort making these videos when the videos get fewer and fewer views each time.
So we've come to this conclusion...

The next day we headed over to Portugal and our little treat for our 30th Wedding Anniversary, a week in an all-inclusive hotel where we simply drive in and park the vans and pickup the key to our resort room.

#retirement #vanlife #travelSeason FinaleGadget John Adventures2024-10-05 | It's been around 9 weeks since our previous video where Mandy had just had surgery to remove an infection that had caused sepsis after just completing her cancer treatment.
We had to move campsite due to the previous campsite having to close due to the only access road closing for 2 weeks to be resurfaced, so we moved the Spitfire Park Campsite - which we highly recommend spitfirepark.com
Mandys recovery was estimated to be 10 to 12 weeks and to start with it took a few weeks until she was able to walk for more than a few minutes, but she took things slowly and each day we tried that little bit more until after a month she was walking more and was far more stable on her feet.
With the help of renewed confidence in her health and the arrival of our friends, Jon & Tash from @lifebeyondbricks as well as Darran from @TheUrbanMotorhome, Mandys recovery has been remarkable and in just 10 weeks she's walking and driving again.
There's still a long way to go until she's back to the fitness levels pre cancer & sepsis, however, were working on that each day in order to get back to doing what we started this channel for in the first place, the love of travel.
Mandy has some hospital appointments in the next 2 months to see how the cancer treatment, and sepsis recovery, is looking.
Thanks for watching & thank you for all your love and support. J & M

#vanlife #campervan #travelNumbGadget John Adventures2024-03-01 | This isn't the video we thought we'd be making when we set off on this trip!
The way we live and why we live this way is down to many family members never making it to retirement or when they do retire they are not healthy enough to enjoy it.
We now have to go through more tests and meetings with the hospital and choose the treatment that's best and in the long term we also need to work out how living in a van fits in with the future and what that will look like.

#vanlife #campervan #travelThe Secret Coastal Route - Scotland Winter Vanlife TravelsGadget John Adventures2024-01-07 | As we continue to be caught up in the storms that are battering scotland this winter it seems this week it was the high winds that brought down so many trees that caused the biggest disruption to our travel routes.
The worrying problem was the failure of the diesel heater though, we can always do our best to dodge the storms but a broken diesel heater in freezing temperatures is just not fun at all, so replacing the heater was an absolute must no matter how rough the working conditions.
We managed to get our more this week and had a fantastic walk along the mountains to see some epic views, which were made even nicer by the appearance of the sun for a few hours just before the snow returned!!
Let's also not forget to mention the stunning waterside parkup in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains and water it was one of our best parkups for a while.

My van also decided the adblue problems needed escalating and came up with a new message to say the van would fail to start in a few miles. So some urgent van repairs were in order.
We also met up with Rob & Archie from @archieme who are in Scotland for a couple of weeks.

#vanlife #campervan #travelDEALING WITH ANGRY LOCALS - Scotland Winter Vanlife TravelsGadget John Adventures2023-12-17 | You just never know what vanlife will throw at you, and what people might throw at you too!
We like to show you what happens, whether that's good or bad, in our videos and sadly this week had a couple of challenges in parkups, the first parkup was stunning right until we thought we'd have to leave due to the raging river that suddenly developed right behind us, which then led to another parkup where the locals were the ones causing a flood, of negativity!

#vanlife #campervan #travelWinter Vanlife Adventures in Scotlands Highest VillageGadget John Adventures2023-12-10 | We head off to Wanlockhead, Scotlands highest village, where we explore the village and it's history before our mates, @campervibe , turn up for a challenge.
A few weeks ago I asked Emily if she'd be up for a "Snack Off" as she's the Snack Bandit and loves her snacks, and I'm fond a my snacks too, so we came up with the idea of how this would work and after choosing our top 5 snacks we then had to let Mandy & Louise decide on who has the best snacks.
I won't spoil the result, you got to watch to find that out. After the snack champion had been announced we headed out into the snow for some fun, until John decided to take things too far and that's where things took a bit of a turn!

#vanlife #campervan #travel5 Countries, 4 Aircraft & Crazy GolfGadget John Adventures2023-06-25 | In this video we explore the beautiful Colmar and the surrounding area before heading off to Luxembourg to meetup with friends and explore the amazing city of Luxembourg, which sadly for us meant some urgent medical help was needed, but after that was sorted we spent 2 days exploring Luxembourg and enjoying some great food & views there. We then headed into The Netherlands to visit with Family first and then friends, before heading to Amsterdam for a little holiday. After 4 days in Amsterdam we headed back into France to experience the D-Day commemorative events and then we headed over to the West Coast of France where we met up with more friends where we enjoyed a nice catchup for a few days.

#vanlife #campervan #travelHeavy Storms meant we had to use the tow ropeGadget John Adventures2023-05-28 | The weather has been pretty bad this week, though we've managed to dodge a few storms whilst visiting Laon & Reims the weather finally caught up with us and oh buy did the storm hit us hard.
One motorhome parked near us got really stuck in the grass so John came to his rescue and freed him from the mud, even got some free beer for his good deed too.

#vanlife #campervan #travelWhoโs idea was this! Two-Van convoy around France. John & MandyGadget John Adventures2023-05-21 | We are John & Mandy, a married couple of almost 3 decades, and we spent 6 months building our very own campervans after 3 years on the road sharing a motorhome.
We're currently touring France and in this video we explore a very peaceful forest with ruins of an old Abbey and go for a hike to a very tall observation tower at the top of the forest.
We show how easy it is to travel together and share our full-time vanlife experiences of life on the road.

#vanlife #campervan #franceHistoric Moments in Arras & The Ulster Tower in Thiepval. John & MandyGadget John Adventures2023-05-14 | Continuing our tour of france, at the slowest pace ever, we are finding some really interesting, and lovely, places to visit that we have simply driven straight past on our previous time through northern France. Staying off the motorways and trying to limit our travel distance to less than 100 miles per week is really paying off as it's forcing us to explore France like never before.
In today's video we visit an amazing town and the attractions that are local to it. We would definitely recommend visiting the The Wellington Tunnels, in Arras, and also highly recommend you take the time to visit The Ulster Tower at Thiepval, you can learn more about that here ulstertower.com/visit/ulster-memorial-tower

#vanlife #campervan #franceOur two-van convoy to France starts! John & MandyGadget John Adventures2023-05-07 | And we are off! Our 3 months tour of France, which will also include some other countries too, is off and straight away Mandy wins the cost challenge as her little van was ยฃ35 cheaper on the EuroTunnel but strangely we both got stopped at he border checks as they didn't believe our campervans had no gas on board.
Once we got that cleared up it was into France and time to enjoy life in the land of camping aires! They are perfectly located near towns and villages and usually with places to walk, and in this case a nice canal network to ride along.
Whilst the route we took maybe wasn't the best, but it really ended up being great fun and it was great to be back out on the bikes again.
If you want to know more about our bikes please follow this link - mirider.co.uk/?sld=johnandmandy to check out the Mirider GB3 bikes we both have and the Lumos Ultra Helmets we showed in this video.

#vanlife #campervan #travelHis Final AdventureGadget John Adventures2023-04-06 | In the final video of the scandinavian series, from August 2022, we travel south in Sweden, go fishing on a lake with @LostInEurope and find a couple of epic parkups.
I didn't record anything really on the last day, I wish I had recorded every second, but that's life, you just never know what's going to happen next.
Cooper enjoyed a few hours of long walks around the harbour parkup and during the night he said his goodbyes.
It's been so hard coming back to edit these videos, but I wanted to have his final few weeks on here so we can come back and watch anytime we want.
We'll be almost in real-time very soon and show you what and where we've been getting up to.

#vanlife #campervan #travelExploring Swedens forgotten WildernessGadget John Adventures2023-03-28 | During August 2022 I explored the wilderness in Sweden, which even in a lifetime you'd struggle to visit everywhere. Not only are there countless lakes to visit but the centre of Sweden, around the E45, leads to some very remote locations which really do make you feel like you're all alone.
In this video I explore areas of Sweden not too many people get to and discover some roads that don't even show up on a map.
