After a perfect parkup and with the sun shining Harry our Ford Auto-Camper Campervan takes us to Saint-Vaast-La-Hogue where a walk around the fortification delivers a surprise. The walk allows you to make your own judgement on health and safety and delivers an exhilarating experience. This was followed by a fantastic lunch with Stews favourite Mussels. However confusion of parking signs leads to an unwanted warning. We finally find another stunning parkup but with the barn doors open Stew gets over confident and crashes Tom the drone !!!

You've got us all shedding rears Stew. Funniest thing i've seen in a long time. Look after him Jane😂😂
Hope your not really shedding a rear lol that made me laugh - win win
I know as soon as I powered up i knew I was an idiot …
Thanks for watching
I was so nervous at 11:40 when Stew was talking to the camera, as that’s when I would have fallen into the sea! Well done with the multitasking Stew 👏
That was on the outtakes lol as I dragged myself out the sea 😂😂😂
Weirdly didn’t think about it till you commented… thanks for watching
The bees buzzing are around the ivy blossom ,they love it ,and apart from buzzing don’t bother with u walking by their them busy getting their nectar .
Yes just going about their business - lots of wildlife on that walk - thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing another interesting as well as funny video!!!! It seems the French are quick to invent new ways of fishing!!!! the take off the drone was hilarious!!!! And all the drone later did film was awesome as we all got a very good view of all the area...👏👏👏
Thank you glad you enjoyed it - I have to say it was a lovely 24 hours although my drone flying was not to clever lol 😂 live and learn
Thanks for watching
Oh my word, that wall! Bernie would have been fine, but not me! As for the drone pilot...well 😂🐕🚙
Drone pilot us short in the upstairs dept lol
The walk was amazing as you really got right out by the sea - not so sure in bad weather
Opening the van doors to a view of the beach/sea is one of the best feelings ever! Magic x
Yes when you get those moments they are to be cherished … thanks for watching hope you are both well
@@getawaygeese all good thanks. Working weekends and evenings atm so not much camping and no vids. Might get back to it at some point though. Take care x
@@adogaday well you gotta do what you gotta do for sure
Have been loving the France series Jane and Stew, brilliant drone shots in this video... once the drone was out of the van! 😂
Yes getting the drone out the van was easy just not in a way that was great lol 😂
Thanks for watching an idiot abroad
What a glorious sunset ! That narrow castle walk was quite daunting - not sure I would have done it 😂 🦋
Castle walk was refreshingly there to be done despite a warning - not sure in rough weather but a great feeling doing it
Parkup was one of the great ones
Glad you didn’t get a fine. I loved the precarious walk. Take care Gill
Yes it was good they just explained to us our error …. The walk was a highlight as we were on our own too
Thanks for watching
Tears are running down my cheeks. I’m laughing so hard. Even had to rewind & watch again. Lol😅 ❤ just what the Doctor ordered on a winter day. Terrific video as usual Cheers Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👋🏻♥️💙😅😂
I know as soon as the bell tolled I should of switched off - I’m an idiot 😂
Thanks for watching
Would love to do that walk, amazing 😍 Thanks for the entertainment, love your new throw for Harry ❤️🚐🇫🇷🥖 xx
It was a perfect walk for the weather and didn’t meet anyone so a bigger bonus lol 😂
Thanks for watching
Another great video, you two do make me smile. Lovely coastline, that walk around the castle was different, you are right about the H&S in this country, completely bonkers.
I feel in lots of ways this country has got it wrong and I see that in other countries like this walk - what’s wrong with allowing ppl to go as long as you warn them and don’t get me started on parking fees and museum costs lol
Thanks for watching really appreciate it
Oh no 🙈 I wouldn’t like that walk! Well done for doing it 😊 That shop looked right up my street, food looked great! Hope Toms concussion 🤕 has subsided 😅😂 Lovely footage, thanks, Em 💜
Thanks so much! 😊 we had a great day and Tom now has matching scars with Harry - Shame they have an idiot as an owner
The walk was great and wouldn’t miss it for the world
Really great vlog enojo well done good luck both 👍👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢
Thanks for watching
Poor Tom, got a headache 😂😂
I know what an idiot as could of severed an artery in my leg 😂
Thanks for watching
@@getawaygeese 😂
I would not have been able to walk that walkway out into the sea! I would have been on my hands and knees!!!!🤣🤣
😂The drone taking off fr inside Harry!😂
Thanks for sharing!
Ju
😁
I think in bad weather it would be a no no but it was a great experience and all on our own to
Thanks for watching
Wow the wall walk around the tower is absolutely fantastic. I have took down the name for when we are in France next summer. Looks like a nice area for some fishing!
Yes it’s great although not so sure in high wind and rain lol - but a great place to- people were fishing down the walled walk way
Enjoy if you go
You wouldn’t catch me on that path! Beautiful but a bit scary. Loved the shop! I would have definitely bought something. Pleased no ticket. Throw looked really nice. Love the back door view. Re the drone 😬 ouch! Doom bell 🤣 Thanks for sharing. ( PS We won’t try this at home!)👍😊❤️
Thanks guys - it was a great day and we loved the wall walk but in bad weather it could be a little challenging for sure
I knew as soon as I powered up I had messed up lol 😂 idiot - the bell was so timely
Thanks for watching
The key when looking at size restriction signs are the two arrows, the sign here had arrows at 12 and 6 = Height, at 3 and 9 = Width.
Thanks - makes sense I think we will be better informed when we go back
Thanks for watching and above all commenting
Beautiful views with the drone. That path would have scared me, as ever since I had proper vertigo, my brain goes weird on narrow paths with drops or paths with something moving like water. It looks like a wonderful place though. Hope Harry has recovered from his accident. Stew is such a plank sometimes. 😂😂
I’ll take ‘sometimes’ lol - I think in windy stormy weather it could be quite a dangerous challenge … I am ok close down to the ground but high up I struggle a little
Thanks for watching
Maybe someone has already told you in the comments as I haven’t trolled through them all, but the trick for eating mussels is to use whatever (even fingers) to empty the first shell without breaking it, the you use it as tweezers to pull the flesh out of all the others😂
Now not tried that I heard of using one shell as a scoop
I love mussels lol 😂
Thanks for watching
Hi guys , Just catching up, first time on WiFi in 3 weeks, we are on country number five , watching this in Venice😊
Love Venice outside the tourist hotspots - you certainly are great tourers
Thanks for watching and stay safe
Great video folks and yes you read the parking notice on your windscreen correctly when you returned. Not sure what translator you use but there are great translation apps about. Main thing is you have a go and the French appreciate that. That moules frites looked amazing. Arrêté municipal means bylaw. Hope that helps.
Thanks for watching and above all commenting….. I think we got there with the notice but the parking up the road seemed confused - just using Google translate app
I use one called Reverso on my phone it’s pretty quick and handy
@tony59able I will take a look at that one for our next trip
Saint Vaast La Hougue is twinned with Bridport, where I live.
Oh wow I didn’t know that and what a place to be twinned with
Hope you can go sometime if you haven’t before now
Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the video no way could I walk along that wall, I was having the heebeegeebees 😱😱on your behalf, but the locations and town looked fabulous and now duly marked on the map. Perfect Friday evening viewing with a take away pizza 😋😋
Enjoy your pizza - thanks for watching - the walk was amazing and we’re were on our own - I think in a storm it could be different
Saint Vasst just down from the large light house is great for oysters. Also interesting coast to sailing around. Great to watch your video from my lake side park up in Norway 😊👍🏼
Thanks for watching - loving your pictures
I have to say we really enjoyed this stretch of the coast
Were currently in Normandy and are now going to head up tost vasse after watching your vlog. Hope we park in the right place.😂
Well I don’t think you will be disappointed - a lovely town good luck with the parking
3:49 p.m. it is clearly indicated that parking is prohibited for motorhomes
Yep realised that we initially (wrongly ) thought it was warning about a potential height barrier - obviously completely wrong so we pulled over quickly when we saw another van - the second sign at the end of the road towards the end of the video confused us to but reading comments on park4night say it was ok to park in the day and not overnight
Thanks for watching and commenting we are certainly more wiser going forward
What a beautiful area to visit. Great video.
I have to say the 24 hours was just brilliant and the walk in the sun topped it for us
Thanks for watching
That spit looked amazing! What a beautiful place!
Oh man, we're going to have to hire a campervan/motorhome and see if we suit vanlife, aren't we!?
You should I suspect there would be no turning back
Thanks for watching
Very enjoyable episode. Good to see you getting stuck in to that meal Stew. You had us shouting at the screen when you launched Tom from inside Harry. Glad there was no damage 😂 Keep them coming 🙂
Loved mussels I know there is a risk but I can’t resist them
As I started I knew I was doing something I shouldn’t - typical me
Thanks for watching
Hi Jane and Stew, brilliant video, the scenery, the drone battering off the roof. Is the wall walkway one way? What happens if you meet a chunky tourist coming the other way.
The walk is advisory one way from what we saw but guess it’s up to you to navigate or knock them off lol 😂
Thanks for watching
Blimey Stew, that drone take off from the van was priceless. 😅
No it was almost blooming expensive lol you know as you do something it’s wrong lol
Thanks for watching
