Those Happy Days #4 Abandoning vehicles is our game, but obviously it’s others we’ll blame.!

Going back to that comment he made about being content, they don’t act like contented people at all, quite the opposite. Always rushing through life from one thing to the next, chasing the next big thing like they’re running from something. He may see himself as some kind of wise guru but they really lack self awareness, especially in how they come across to others.

I noticed last year (or the year before) that everyone they shop they buy a carrier bag. It proper winds me up and I’m nowhere near being a vegan!

Mountain Warehouse are known for their poor zip and stitching quality.

Agree that boots and coats are definitely worth the investment in the long run. Especially where off grid and travelling are involved. It’s not about being fashionable it’s about warmth, comfort and safety.

My partner did the national 3 peaks earlier this year. The guide for that stopped a load of the group going up Ben Nevis as they didn't have good enough waterproof layers (double stitched etc) or suitable enough warm/wet weather gear. They had brought mountain warehouse/peter storm type stuff. You were also stopped from walking at all if you didn't have boots with full ankle support. My partner spent a small fortune in the months leading up to that to make sure he had had the right kit - and as you say, that kit will now last him a lifetime.

But these two divvies are going to be FINE in the arctic circle in a mountain warehouse puffer jacket and some thermal leggings.

Is she seriously planning to wear leggings in -40°C? This is what we were put in on a mild day in May for our geological excursion in Bodø:

As an aside, that looks epic!

That said - that could be taking place in the wilds of Scotland if it was Worzel & Nana with their track record.

Until I see evidence - such as storefronts, road signs and number plates on cars and someone telling them to duck off in Scandinavian...

they are in Northern Scotland!

I was looking up clothing for Lapland. Most people stay in resorts tbh around Christmas and they advise you rent the clothing from them. Heavy duty coats, salopettes, boots, goggles etc.
Nanna's coat didn't even look waterproof. So snow will make it damp instantly. Worzel's ski suit looked a bit better.
I wonder how many Pot Noodles they'll take with them? Though forward planning doesn't seem their thing. They'll probably have to keep stopping at garages to moan about the lack of vegan options.

And it's not just clothes, did they take care of skin care? I know Worzel doesn't shower and moisturize, but Nanna might make the really painful experience of what happens when you use the wrong face cream in those temperatures. She'll burn her whole face.

 

[November_again]

We've got a timeline. Of course they're already giving themselves an out by ending it with "probably".

 

[Pontyslapper]

Thats when he figures he'll emerge from his post Christmas fug after caning Nana's family's booze supply followed by his lot over New Year.

 

[Camperfan]

Why the tear in the eye? It's their decision to go now, for Christmas, no reason they couldn't have gone at any point after. No one's forcing them... honestly, anything for drama!
Is that Brighton they are at? They just circle round the same old haunts, their family hometown, Brighton, short trip away to make it look like they are free to go where they please, back to home, Brighton again. So much pointless mileage.

I thought I saw the 'Demountable' heading out of Ashford today! I was turning out of a junction and there it was waiting at the traffic lights. Didn't twig til I'd driven past but looking in the rear view mirror it was a grey Ford Ranger and the rear of the Demountable had the white H on it. Could it have been our heroes?!

I think you mispelled zeroes.

Drinking and driving.

Let's hope les rozzers give the cupid stunts a tug, smell his boozy breath and duck him over massively. The demountable of doom might be an undiscovered les rozzers attractant - Les rozzers loves tugging something a bit different to the usual French shitboxes. Maybe he'll fall foul of the speed limits and pass one of Les rozzers 'hidden' scameras and get the fine in the post upto 2 years down the line. Then when the arrogant knobber ignores it - next time he ventures frogside, they'll have him on toast.

 

[November_again]

Place your bets now on their first secret hotel stay. As always, we will be able to tell by Nanna's freshly washed and straightened hair.

I'm going with day 4 (which will be vlog #2)

 

[Camperfan]

Wearing a polyester woolly hat indoors already? There's no hope when they get to the proper cold.
I'd take a guess the pic was taken in Belgium judging by the beers (two each?).

If that’s one of their “flutters of happiness”, I dread to think what they’d look like if they’re only “content” or even worse miserable?
Faces liked a slapped arse!

 

[Pontyslapper]

Maybe the ferry. He's too bloody tight and too much of a closet alky to even consider the 1hr+ gain from using Le Shuttle.

In that photo - Worzel looks like he's been in Nana's makeup bag again and nicked her eye liner.

 

[Camperfan]

Ahh probably is the ferry, much cheaper and tight wad probably wouldn't put his hand in his pocket for the tunnel.

 

[November_again]

Definitely the ferry. Getting their first beers in before lunch.

And a nice clear shot of their numbers plate which might come in handy down the line for us.
