Randa and Zermatt, Switzerland in our Camper van Part 1
April 2022, we travel down to Switzerland on the Euro tunnel, through France. Our destination is Zermatt, Switzerland. As Zermatt is a car free town, and bookable campsites are few and far between in that area, we are staying in an apartment in Randa. From Randa we catch the train to Zermatt to explore the area around the Matterhorn.
Part 2 coming shortly.
Thanks for watching.

The Jilong framed pool 4m x 2m x 1m (rival to Intex and Bestway)

During lockdown 2020 we bought a framed pool for our swimmer son to train in, by using a swim tether. We chose the Jilong pool on Amazon, rival to similar pools by Intex and Bestway, as it was over £150 cheaper! In this video we unbox, setup and show some of the ways we have been enjoying the pool.

    Hello. Just watched your video. Was wondering if you still use it and still happy with it. Iv got a Skoda superb and was thinking of getting one, it's a very long car and with that on the back was wondering if it would still be ok to drive about. Four bikes on the back must be some weight on the back

    • @MackVentures
      @MackVentures ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! Yes we are still happy with it and still use it, but not as often. 4 adult bikes is quite a weight but the rack and the van can handle it, thankfully!

    • @markbifferos2765
      @markbifferos2765 ปีที่แล้ว

      I also worried initially about the weight, but.... manufacturer of the tow bar will give the max trailer nose weight. I'd assume there's a relationship between the max nose weight and the weight carried with these racks. Interesting thing is that most of these carriers specs don't reference the nose weight or any other features of the tow bar, so they must be OK for practically any car. Maybe this is because nose weight forms a vector with pulling force For my car max nose weight is 100Kg (and it's not that high), and un-braked towing load is about 750Kg. Consider the vector combining those two forces... I think, that's plenty enough for 4 bikes.

    Cracking video - now thats put me right in a pickle - I've said no to a train from Lauterbrunnen to Zermatt at about 4hrs each way... but I think this video might get me some heavy persuasion once my wife watches it - or we'll end up doing a day or two over that neck of the woods. Our plan at the mo is upto 10 days in Lauterbrunnen, grabbing a few overlapping rail passes and leaving the van setup and hitting the trains/funiculars and maybe gondolas hard.

    Hi! Was looking for a pool to do tethered swimming in and this has answered my question - brilliant. Can i ask if your son can do some free swimming in it as well ie can he do a breastroke before reaching the other side of the pool and if the depth was a little shallower could he still swim in it do you think -its just that theres a used one available thats a 85cm in height so its a little shallower so was a bit concerned - am only 5ft8 though ? Also how often do you feel you have to run the pump to keep the water clean ? Am guessing the water costs are around 25 pounds to fill it ? Cheers

    • @MackVentures
      @MackVentures 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comment. You can’t do any free swimming in it as just not long enough- Only tethered. My sons 6ft and I’m 5ft 4. When the water level dropped a bit (from the splashing) even my fingertips occasionally brushed the floor so the deeper the better. We tried to run the pump about 8 hours a day- sometimes daytime and sometimes evening. We’re not on a water meter so not sure of cost to fill it but it took about 5hours. Hope that helps you 🙂

When it was cold my son wore a wetsuit but when it was sunny and warm it was fine.

You just need to make sure you have the electric socket at the rear of your vehicle next to the tow at. I don’t fully understand the last question. Do you mean the actual tow bar and electric socket in the vehicle? If so then you have to get that fitted separately if you don’t already have one, it’s not included.
