In the late 1970’s I was studying Mechanical Engineering. As an education we visited the Land Rover factory in western Sydney. What a revelation, here were teams of men and women dressed in white lab coats bolting together series 2 short and long wheel base Land Rover Defenders. Each was supervised by another fellow with a clipboard. Each vehicle was mounted on a trolley and it was pushed slowly from post to post. Everything was hand made, hand assembled and hand checked until it left the door for the dealer or customer. So when people talk about Land Rover’s old school vehicle building, they really are correct. This contrasted quite shockingly with the British Leyland factory in South Sydney, also visited , which was supposed to be the cutting edge of production line engineering. Well we know what sort of products that lot built. Land Rovers still exist in huge numbers, Leyland cars do not.
So while there are some aspects that are better built by robots, hand made charm and character are still important and tangible in appreciating cars and bikes. Likewise those lovely Barber Jackets, but they are a bit expensive for me nowadays.
What an incredible insight, thank you so much for sharing this, Paul🙂🇦🇺
I’ll pin this comment👌🏻
When 1970's Defender manufacturing/building becomes a standard of reference for quality you know your industry is in trouble.
The defender , Barbour and Cornwall has transformed you from your usual cool urban Steve McQueen vibe to a minor member of the royal family vibe ! A man for all seasons and future James Bond
I noticed his Steve McQueen vibe......🙂👍
That’s very kind of you to say so, Simon🙂
These brown nosing comments are just ridiculous. Were you rubbing one out while writing that?
@@pookiewookie7679 the guy who was previously asking what size jeans Freddie wears 😂🥰
And don't forget Miss Monikapenny
This video proves why people should be listening to they parents. They just know stuff😊
Gorgeous,beautifull,magical place,just the most relaxing ,chilled ,place to be ,your mind is in a perfect mode ,miss it been there three times,will be back again soon ,lovely cornwall,xx
Wow. If I ever travel to the UK Cornwall will have to be in the list. Beautiful place.
Went to this church yeeeeears ago with my wife (girlfriend at the time). So cool to see you there, it’s a real hidden gem
Gorgeous whippet. Show stealer, and goes perfectly with the landie
Thanks Marcus!🙂
No no should be a yellow Lab or an English Springer. If you want to go elegant retro, a pair of English Pointers.
The church was the definite highlight, cornwalls microclimate adds to its ambiance .
What a stunning day trip! Really enjoyed tagging along as I have never been. Thanks so much for sharing.
The little church by the water with the palm trees looks like it could be in Australia, and the village by the sea is so pretty. The final shot showing headlands and the sea bathed by sunset light was gorgeous.
St Just is a stunning wee church, visited there a couple of years ago, quite breathtaking. As you say you wouldn’t think you were in England.
Ohh Freddie! Quite the long wheelbase always presents a challenge in the small country towns & the driveway it seems😎 Simply beautiful & incredibly picturesque Cornwall! Sensational video of your adventures! Thanks to you both for your efforts & time🙌
Really glad you enjoyed it Steve, thank you!🙂
It’s going to feel seriously weird getting back in the Fiat!😆
The best times to visit Cornwall are now, in the winter with the LR 110, when the 'grockles' are all tucked-up at home and in the summer/autumn on a motorcycle so you can skip past the queues of traffic and park with ease.
I’ll definitely be back on the Bonneville in the summer🙂🤘🏼🏍️
What a beautiful rig! It really suits you guys, and the location gave the whole day a dreamlike quality. Well done Freddie and Monica.
Really appreciated, thanks!🙂
Gets a loan of a Landy.
Takes out a loan for a matching Barbour wardrobe.
Because he must.
Gotta love you Freddie.
🤣🤣
The end with you and the 110 on the grassy mound looked straight out of a Land Rover ad! Very cool.
Portscatho is a good Cornish lesson. It translates as harbour of little boats. When I was born we lived in Gerrans at the top of the hill. My grandfather owned a little bookshop in Portscatho.
I don't know why, but here I am after tinkering with my digital audio workstation laughing as my Wife naps , you two crack me up. Freddie Bond and Monika Galore, a movie has to be coming soon. Loved this town and love the Defender.
I love this😆🔫🤵🏼
Lovely video - beautifully photographed - perfect weather. Many of the Cornish do indeed think that the land beyond the Tamar is another country! 😉 Thank you both for a delightful escape from the greyness .
I had to google where the Tamar is- I’ll remember this🙂
What a glorious part of the world....Add in a Land Rover, Barbour and it's another great video.
Freddie, fantastic work!
What a lovely video to wake up to on a Sunday morning! The church was beautiful! Another ferry to go on from Falmouth is to Fushing. A small village on the harbour. It's a passenger only ferry, but once in Flushing there are two lovely pubs. If you feel like stretching your legs you can take a coastal walk to Mylor Yacht Harbour and drool over the spectacular yachts. There is a very nice cafe there too.
Glad to see the weather is improving, I'm in Cornwall in two weeks.
We actually drove down to this passenger ferry thinking it was a car ferry, and then had to figure out where the car ferry was😆
I popped over to Flushing over Christmas, and did the exact walk you mentioned and also stopped at the coffee shop too! It’s a beautiful spot👌🏻
Beautiful experience, thanks for taking us along for the ride. What a great way to start my Sunday 🤩
Splendid, this church with the palm trees, what a beautiful dreamy place. A wonderful landscape, a car full of character and a gentleman, a great video.
Thanks Sandro!
Lovely video guys..that part of Cornwall has a sub tropical feel, it's a unique climate for plants thanks to the Gulf Stream...the Scilly Isles even more so. Every Defender driver watching including myself will have smiled knowingly as you wrestled the steering!! Lovely filming by Monika too. Cheers, Steve
I’m now very keen to visit the Scillys for this reason. I also can’t believe how many Defenders I see a day here; 5-10 minimum🤩
Hi Freddie and Monica just I’ve returned from a visit to Cornwall after many years away and can’t wait to return . Yes it’s a beautiful part of the country . Next time will visit the church . On the bike it’s Merlin or Alpine Stars off the bike it’s Barbour great choice . Your Cornwall trip is going to be hard to beat …. Lovely vlog .
Thanks for reminding me 'i do live in such a stunning country' . Now all i have to do is get out there and explore these places , before the government bans the motor car as a personal means of transport .
I really hope you’re wrong about cars Neil, but it does feel we’re going that way. Really glad you enjoyed the video🙂
Enjoy every second of the trip in Cornwall, someday maybe my turn to visit your Country next! Best Regards from Norway
Thanks Jo, sending all my best to you up in Norway!👋🇳🇴
@@FreddieDobbs Thanks,last time I visit your country was last November 2022 at NEC Birmingham classic car show! Thirth time visit the show......Also Visit LONDON back in 2010 seeing ACE CAFE, Wars Harley Davidson and Urban Rider........
Glad to see you enjoying my ‘home turf’ on the Roseland. We take the beauty on our doorstep rather for granted until you see it on screen and then it reminds you just how beautiful it is…. Love the Landrover looks fantastic but, whilst landies are perfectly suited to Cornish lanes (most people won’t argue with a Landie head on! 😆), the turning circle can be a bit of a hindrance lol
I genuinely think I may have had a breakdown if I’d be navigating the tiny lanes in the height of summer with all the traffic!😆
Cornwall is just an absolute gem.
Love it, have always loved it and will always love it!
A very special place that sticks its hooks into me whenever I’m there and I always find it so difficult to leave it!
Never mind the Barbour, Basil the greyhound for me please! Lost my two beauties in the last six months. Both just shy of their twelfth birthdays. Miss them like mad!
Thank you Freddie and Monika for another excellent video. Just love the your trips to some beautiful places with wonderful landscape.
Thanks Donna!
Wow, we've been on that ferry so many times....Cornwall is calling !
The Defender suits you! Yep better put that on the list.
Thank you sir!🙂
Gr3atfilm Freddie....well done loved it...
What a beautiful church inside and out and that ancient pub, if walls could talk can you imagine the history, I always think of the generations that have lived and died experiencing the places and buildings that we do now
I feel exactly the same- the things the walls must’ve seen!😳
Another great video to start the day. Well done!
That's why I like bikes over cars, a lot more manageable and easy to park 😁 but I do like the simplicity of it over the modern computerised boxes we drive today. Stunning scenery and as always you get the nice weather, great video you two as always 👍
I do agree Dale- Cornwall’s made for bikers with all of the tight lanes!
Love Barbour ! It’s my winter go to brand !
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika
Thank you Jason!
Nice to see Cornwall highlighted, stunning part of the world and lovely place to ride the back lanes on an Enfield
It really is perfect Enfield territory with the 40-60mph lanes🙂🤘🏼🤘🏼
Saddlebags 73😉
Nice one Freddie and Monika, a beautiful part of the UK....
Hi , yes a magical place over the other side of the ferry , once more a very interesting video and glad to see your keeping your arms fit and back to basic hard work .😀
No need for a gym when I have the Defender!😆
Love the barbour look. Very dapper and suits you well. Love the defenders. Great video. Love the way you keep finding old cars everywhere. Great to see. Thanks man for all yours and Monikas videos , so inspiring 😎
Thank you Mike!🙂
How did you turn right to get down that narrow little road to the ferry 😆 that's what l was wondering, you wisely cut that hour out 😆.
Seriously though, thank you Freddie and Monica, everything in this video can be weighed up in one word , Beautiful.
Particularly loved that old Church and the old Pub, you even managed to get the best parking space.
I'd say, if you'd of put a tenner on that old greyhound he'd come first, well done mate, music was top drawer.
I had to do a five point turn to navigate the final part of the ferry descent😆
If it was the summer with busy roads, I’d have had a serious freak out! It really is a stunning part of the country👌🏻👌🏻
The choice of music and the editing during the church scene was very moving; I got choked up. What a beautiful place… Excellent video, well done 🙂
Thanks Stephen, really glad you enjoyed it. It’s a special place🙂
Great place Cornwall and definitely great on a bike. Lovely vid.
Thanks Steve!
You two do a great job of exploration.
Thank you sir🙂
Beautiful😍
As a Devonian, even I have to agree that Cornwall looks absolutely stunning in your video. But the Cornish won’t thank you - they’ll have tens of thousands more tourists visiting now!! Great job -beautifully filmed.
Thank you Jester!🙂
Ass wipe
Lovely video Freddie and Monika.
I (Ol Man) modelled for Barbour some years ago for their Ventile fabric campaign. I had a Spitfire flying overhead, literally divebombing to be in shot! Good old days and I’m pleased that you appreciate the quality and style of the bygone era, with the Defender and choice of motorcycles etc.
I bought a Defender double cab brand new, when Darcy was a toddler for £22,500! It would be worth much more now I’m sure! Hindsight!!
Are you staying at your Dads place?
What a shoot for Barbour this must’ve been- an unforgettable day by the sound of it!🙂
This is eye opening because I did wonder how much Defenders from 20 years (ish) ago cost when new. It is mind blowing to think they’ve actually gone up in value!🤯
Thanks for sharing your pub visit in Portscatho, I may well take my wife there on her birthday soon, lovely church too.
My mother lived in Falmouth during 80’s and 90’s me and my friend around 20 at the time rode down on our illigal bikes mine a CX 500 and him a CBX 550 sport brings back so many happy memories guys thank you.. two weeks into my recovery and first few steps on my Steve Austin Bionic Hip lol sat here on the farm Eastern Cape SA you just come and visit and ride the wild coast guys x
Ahhhh I love this- what a memory! And so different to SA! It is my dream to ride there one day🙂 Delighted recovery’s going well- sending all my best🇿🇦
Looking forward to coming back to your videos in about 3 weeks time, heading off on a 10‘000km round trip from Switzerland to the North Cape and back with a 30 year old BMW E30. Gonna be following in your roadtripping footsteps, unfortunately not on a motorcycle ;)
Enjoy the remaining time with the defender looks like an absolute joy to live with!
Cheers
MY LOOOOOORD!!!!! What a trip, and in an E30! This is the trip of a lifetime! Have an incredible time😃
Excellent. Beats the Sunday papers anytime! Morning to you all 🏴
Thanks Mike, and good morning!🙂👋🏴
Cornwall,yes beautiful area❤️
So glad i found this channel.
I’m delighted you did, Yannis🙂
You're smashing hit, huge congrats on all the success.
That’s extremely kind of you to say so, thank you Paul🙂
this video covers some highlights of my first ever holiday in Cornwall (approx 20 years ago.) Time to go back!!...
I’d like to think very little has changed since then🙂
I enjoy your vids very much. love Cornwall , lived there for a year.
Thanks Dave! What a place to live- it has the most chilled out vibe from anywhere I’ve visited in the UK👌🏻
@@FreddieDobbs a much slower pace of life and the water is much softer , love the place.
Another brilliant production Freddie..well done son!
Thank you Mr Sinclair!🙂
Amazing 😢❤
Whatta lovely place...... 🤗🤗🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
St Just in Roseland Church is a favourite place. A friend and I were once given a lift from there to the ferry by one of the Churchwardens at the end of the day. Sadly another friend was buried there quite recently. She had only just gotten back into biking and had a younger boyfriend. Portscatho is another favourite place, we ate at the same pub last time we were there and if you carry along that coast a bit further, you will come to Caerhays Castle & Porthluney Cove. Both are beautiful and the Castle has the most amazing Spring Garden. ps I'm not too keen on the lifestyle stuff.
Thanks very much for these tips- I’ve saved them all🙂
It’s a very special part of the country🇬🇧❤️
Hi F&M I regularly go to St Just it’s such a spiritual place. Agreed the most beautiful place. I fortunately sail there too occasionally shame I can’t live down there. If you walk to the boatyard just round corner there’s a Walk to St Mawes (40 mins)abs beautiful. Plenty of refreshments and beautiful bathing. I also did a walk to port scathe and a neighbouring beach and swam there in the very hot period of last summer. As u say like nowhere else esp in winter.
Ps hate land rovers but love high vantage driving. Get that in a van too with far more refinement and put bike in bake as well as a dax for Monica😁
I’ve received a few tips about a very nice looking outdoor cafe near St Just (I’ll definitely visit when it opens up again in the summer).
We have considered a van too (the Defender has a Transit van engine!)
Great video man keep it real
I'd love to see all the places you show in your videos someday. Take a vacation for 3 weeks and visit Great Britain. The road from Krakow would certainly be tiring (and equally expensive), but the views, castles, churches, landscapes would compensate for everything. 🙂
Ah yes I know this drive; I drive from England to Lithuania five years ago! It is LONG, but I loved every second!🙂
Looks like a lovely place. You’ve inspired me to go out to a nice pup for a winter lunch today. Barbour are a great local brand do some great stuff, it fits in well with the landy.
A nice warm pub on a winter’s day- enjoy it, Robert!🙂 Doesn’t it; Barbour and Land Rover are a fantastic pairing👌🏻
The Roseland, my home ground. Cornwall's great for biking, there's a meet almost every night in summer. You should try a series landy round here, no power steering !
I will return in the summer on the Bonneville🙂🏍️
I can imagine most Landy Series owners look like Arnold Schwarzenegger with the constant working out😆
St Anthony’s light house is where Fraggle rock was set.
Adorable dog Freddie 😍😍
You're looking every inch the country gent 😁😁
Thank you Jo!🙂
Wow Cornwall looks amazing in the winter sun. We take our Land Rover to Cadaques. Try driving through those streets with 7 of you in it in the summer time!!!! Enjoy the rest of the trip
Wooooooow… I get nervous even thinking about this, but what a trip!😃
Palm trees in Britain, incredible
Oh Freddie! You should get out of the drive in one manoeuvre, I’ve had Land Rovers for years and never had to shunt like that😂
Maybe I do still have some room for improvement😆
I've never owner a car/van with electric windows. What a church and setting. X19s were rot boxes.
I’ve heard this about the X19s😆
@@FreddieDobbs A friend had one in the '80s. A dog of a car.
Ok 👌👌 Freddie
the church!!🥰
It’s not a Turning Circle - it’s an ORBIT!! :- )
Very true!
I think Falmouth and the area close by is stunning, the scenery, beaches and so many things to do. Your videos are always a fantastic treat. Can I suggest the best pasties in Falmouth come from a tiny little shop, no more than a hatch and doorway, down some steps somewhere in the region of cream and black pearl on Church Street. There’s a fantastic seafood restaurant down there as well.!!
Thank you for this David, I’ll make sure we find this little place!🙂
They loaded tanks at smugglers cottage during ww2 and also at Glen Durgan on the Helford.
Love Falmouth… 👍 just brought a place myself down the road at Marazion so will be biking back and forth this year….!
Oh wow, fantastic!! Huge congrats Nick, and also a very good excuse for a lot of beautiful road trips🙂🤘🏼🏍️
100% , and just brought a new BMW GS to help 😉
There is no replacement for England. I live in western Canada now for 27 years, and yep it can be a nice place to live but it’s kind of boring. The greatest thing about the UK there’s so many little places to see and the the English pub is just the icing on the cake 👍👍👍👍
That’s fascinating hearing from a Brit in Canada. I’ve heard of a lot of people recently wanting to relocate to Canada- the quality of life and glorious lifestyle are always the main points people give🇨🇦🙂
@@FreddieDobbs Canada is nice and it’s been good to me 👍👍 but 5-6 months of winter every year starts to drive you a little stir crazy. A full weekend of -25 again, blowing snow and shovelling snow gets old fast 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Portscatho is a great little spot. Lovely hotel on the clifftop called Driftwood. Small boutique hotel with a Michelin star restaurant.
MONICA IS 100% RIGHT !! NO QUESTION !!
Ok, I am coming to Cornwall right now....hold the phone!
Another entertaining video Freddie and Monica, I enjoy your reviews of bikes, cars, pubs and even English churches, watching you poncing about in posh gear not so much!
This did hurt a bit but I can’t argue with your balance feedback so thank you John!😆
@@FreddieDobbs Just messing with you Freddie! Keep on doing what you're doing your channel is great with a unique mix of content, more power to you.
Beautiful home in a beautiful location. I often walk past here and am conflicted as whether to rescue the classic Impreza or tractor that peers out of the old barn.
Haha you know EXACTLY we are! I always wonder about that Impreza too- it MUST be saved!😳
Equally stylish to your triumph. That Landrover must be twice as long as your fiat. Amazingly shot video that flatters you both and shows just how beautiful Cornwall is.
Thanks Richard🙂 The Fiat will feel like a go cart after the Defender!
Suits you sir! The Barbour gear really blends you in Land Rover, parking beside the BMW, this will be a hard one to give up when the time comes, a very clever move by Nene Overland, LOL. I was really hoping you'd meet something on those narrow lanes. You are right so good to go at this time of the year, but summer driving the Land Rover in Cornwall would be an interesting one. Well done another great Video.
I genuinely don’t know what I’d do if I would come face to face with another car in the Defender on a tight country lane and in the height of summer😳
I didn't think you was gonna fit in that munchkin Monika sized seating nook in the pub. 🤣
wow...some really narrow roads? there..lol..i wouldnt care at all about the turning radius...your driving an old Defender..you no matter what..wouldnt be able to wipe the smile off my face..lol..beautiful church...that area must be very well protected from the weather..a pub basically as old as a country...the US...more history for me to envy..LOL..excellent video...
I can tiny imagine lanes like this don’t exist in the US. It would be very enjoying watching a Dodge Challenger or F150 in Cornwall😆
@@FreddieDobbs thats to funny..LOL..no..we have no small lanes like that here...LOL..i have a Dodge 1500 and there is no way..LOL
Thanks for another fantastic video.
I love Cornwall out of the main holiday season, but then being Cornish I am a slightly biased 😄and do return at least once a year with the family, the next time being in a few weeks.
When you said that you were heading over on the King Harry Ferry, I half expected you to head down to the Hidden Hut.
There's just too many places to list to visit in the county.
I had no idea about The Hidden Hut- I’ve just saved this to my list🙂👌🏻
@@FreddieDobbs Oops!
It’s currently closed due to a refurb and refit during Jan & Feb, back open mid-March.
Lucky I checked, because it’s not like anyone would head out to lunch and not check that the place is open 🤣
Loved the look of the church surrounded by palm trees but what regularly surprises me about the graveyards here in the U.K. is how soon they get neglected and overgrown, on our travels we noted that the graveyards we came across in the Azores were immaculate, it actually shocked us how well maintained they were.
Another well presented and edited vlog from you both but sorry I can't share your enthusiasm for the Defender but loved the Fiat X19.
It’s a very good point Lee- Monika and I have noticed this about the graveyards too😳
@@FreddieDobbs I think some of that is due to the fact churches and graveyards are so old in the UK that the graveyard spaces are often fully occupied by deceased from decades ago, so there are, in turn, often no family members to maintain the graves.
It is also usually the families responsibility to maintain graves and the local authorities' will do little more than maintain the paths and sometimes grassed areas.
Sadly, also probably explains why the majority of deaths are now cremated....along with diminishing religious belief 🤔
The locals become displaced by wealthier incomers, as anywhere "nice" becomes evermore exclusive, so the families of those buried there are less likely to live nearby, but... also, U.K. graveyards have recently (the last several years or so), become places of "re-wilding" and are "let go" somewhat to help address the critical loss of vital Habitat (for other locals, such as the Insect population).
Say no to gentrification! ✊
Hey Freddy, saw the video in Cornwall, I have just got my self a Royal enfield hunter and what a perfect bike for the small lanes , you should try one and keep it at your mum and dad's for when your there in the car, so cheap £3700 brilliant fun and what a location. Keep em coming..
Congrats on the new bike, Graham!🙂 The Hunter’s value is insanity- the same price as the Dax. How do Enfield do it?!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
LandRover and Barbour go hand in hand. and actually Barbour did a LandRover of clothing as a cooperation with them.
Just come across your channel and enjoying it. Reminding me of when i got my first landrover many years ago. I would point out that whilst the turning circle is awful you could quite easily have got out of the drive in one go, there was loads of space in front of you, its also about getting the right line. Anyway its all a learning curve to drive a vehicle you actually have drive rather than modern cars whihc do it all for you :) You'll get used to it pretty quickly and adjust your driving style to match, then you'll really start to love using the Defender. I never tire of driving mine and love the long runs i have to do for work, i especially miss the work runs to Cornwall. i was lucky enough to be a student in Cornwall in the early 1990s and fell in love with the place.
I’ll be honest Mike, I was quite embarrassed to see how much space I had manoeuvring the Defender when I watched the video back!😆
I love (and want) a Defender more than ever!❤️
@@FreddieDobbs I wuldnt worry Freddie, when i picked up my first one (a series 3 long wheel base) I had to drive it through Manchester at rush hour, fine i thought as i know the rat runs having grown up there, until i tried to turn in a narrow street assuming it would turnn like my Mum's Fiesta, 7 point turn later, many calories burnt and a number of very grumpy drivers behind me i managed to negotiate the turn! :)
Great clip. You are looking like the country squire
Thanks Richard, trying my best to look the part whileI’m lucky enough to have the Defender!
Brilliant video as always.More classic car content please.
Lotus esprit
E type jag
Maybe spitfire(roadster not a plane)
Keep up a good work
Sorry can’t agree. I say stick to the bikes - there are lots of others doing classic cars and you’ve already carved out a great niche.
12:27 That's just asking for trouble!
15:30 in Hahahahahahaha poor car needs the open desert I guess to shine...
