Yer,done the route you took into Italy. Beautiful route to the tunnel. Then motorway all the way to Ancona. The motorway gets worse as you near the port. Must say you did muck up going in but you got there. Hated the system they have for booking the tickets for the ferry. He'll of a place to get to. Plus it's very narrow the port.
Not a lot of room to maneuver around.
But the ferry was good nice clean room. Port hole to look out at the sea. Plus plenty of places on board to get food and drink.
Greece is easy to get round. My wife and l retired therev10 yrs ago.
Never looked back.
Only picked up on your channel by chance a couple of days ago. Love the patter and where you go. Good to see a different take on driving. Wouldn't want to go to some of the places you go to. Bad enough taking my pick up through. Let alone a Pantech the size of yours. Much respect to you the way you handle it.
Myself was driveing in europ for 20 yrs at 4 weeks a time i loved it i hanged up my keys 2 yrs ago as i was 67
Another excellent video. Can’t wait for parts 3 & 4
Excellent mate. Keep em coming.
Fab video 👍
Good content,photography & editing, also very informative let's have plenty more,been following since before your Waitrose days, well done.
Enjoying this series. Stunning scenery down near Mont Blanc. You look like you are really enjoying your work and make the driving looks so easy. Would love to see more of what you eat on your travels 😊
Just found your channel. Good vids. Very enjoyable with good info aswell. 👌🏻 nice one.
This European, trip video was really good - Thank you 👍👍
Great vlog. You should have watched anonymous European driver vids. He did a set of vids on his travels to Greece via ancona .very informative driver.
I buddy hope you are well. Brilliant vlog buddy you made it look so easy driving on the continent. Philip is studying to be hgv driver just booked my theory tests first. I have a long way to go yet philip.
🇬🇧🤘👍
Crete is an nice island
watching you driving in France with those laybys and services then I look at the cr@p we have to put up with in the UK.
Yeah France know how it should be done and don’t forget the routiers.
Odd the signs would send you on such a wild goose chase, as, imo., the only sensible way is indeed to take the Ancona centro exit and then cross the roundabout near the university to go straight down to the waterfront. Decades since I've been there, but hard to see why they'd want to close that off for trucks.
Alternatively, one could, when joining the Autostrada Adriatico, go the other way (instead of down to Ancona), exit at Falconara towards the rail yard and then down the coast from there, but I don't remember if that's really "truck friendly".
I just followed everyone else out on the way back so I know the route in if I head that way again.
Enjoying video. Strange they charge different charges for tolls
It depends on the distance between booths and how close to a metropolitan area you are.
Come on Muzungo don't keep us in suspenders where's part 3 can't wait.
Just found the channel really enjoying it do you use a sat nav or Google maps
I type the route into google maps. Then just have a phone with pocket earth on it to have offline maps as reference to see where I am and read the signs as I go. No sat nav.
@@DTWTheWanderingMuzungu very impressive fair play all the way to Crete with no sat nav is the event gig a full time or part time job and are there more to come
The event job is full time but has only just picked up really due to COVID. Lots of gen haul and other work over the last year or so.
@@DTWTheWanderingMuzungu let's hope it keeps on the up and up for you 🙏
I'm looking at getting into euro tramping. The company you drive for, is there plenty of individual single truck euro work or is it mostly a convoy of trucks for events? 🙂
There’s a mix of both.
Hope you dont mind me asking. Are you happier doing runs abroad or do you prefer to do uk work. I hope they pay you well for your troubles.👍👍
I like a mix of the two. Its nice to be away but I wouldn't want to be permanently abroad.
Where is Greece?
If you could choose any Truck out of all of them, for all these European adventures which would you choose?
Daf works for me.
@@DTWTheWanderingMuzungu Those XG+’s must be nice in Europe with the massive cab
Definitely bigger inside but I’ve not driven one to see the difference first hand.
How long would a return trip.take.
Absolute fastest it could be done is 11 days.
Will you go through Macedonia?
No that’s too far north.
Dreadful head lights for driving 😉
