      Lou? Apparently migraine's interrupts the digestive system and prevents it from working and from absorbing nutrients, etc. My step dad claimed 'Solpadeine' is the only thing which works for him, but only if taken immediately upon the first onset of symptoms. The digestive system apparently shuts down from working so nothing helps if there is a any delay.
      A famous actor even contacted him to say thanks and it had been a great help in helping her crippling symptoms too.
      -You can buy 'Solpadeine'' in effervescent tablets which helps as they are quicker to absorb. I don't know if you can get power sachets in the UK but may worth a go if you can.

    You are both England's answer to Thelma and Louise and I haven't watched Netflix since I subbed you the other week and you're fast becoming my FAVE channel so Hey ! Looking at your channel vids page with ALL the thumbnails together is seriously funny with the titles and photos, clicking vids is irresistible and I have to say Your video editing is absolutely TOP NOTCH PRISTINE PERFECT and looks AMAZING on my BenQ 4K Monitor. Your Epitaph will probably read "This IS the end of Solo VanLife !! ... Funny you went to Reading as I spent my 1st 16 years living between Hounslow London with Mum and Sonning Common between Henley on Thames and Reading with Dad and I went to Chiltern Edge Sec Mod School. You got that *SENSE* by the layby that something wasn't right and I have them too, when you go into a new area or you meet strangers, something not quite right, plus the fact I've been a minority gender since 1985 so I ALWAYS GO with that initial sense as I'm happily single but have a Jack Russell who is insanely protective towards me. And tyres, I got thick and wide Pirellis on my Ford Sierra in the UK ( it always felt it was tipping over on corners and my step brother worked at Central Tyres at that time and he put 4 new on and it FELT like there was serious glue on the treads and I could have driven around the wall of death when I was living in Basildon (at the same time Alison Moyet was in the charts and she grew up there) but in the '80s and '90s we called tyres boots in Essex. That video bit at the end with you both together was BEAUTIFUL, just very beautiful and heartfelt. Anyway, I have thought about a van but love my Audi A4 Avant 3.2Q tow vehicle too much but your van is very appealing but I'll stick with my 2010 Bailey Pageant for the now. I've only just come out of Winter, Shaken not Stirred, so am watching your older vids for warm inspiration. Have a Fab week the both of You'se 🌟

    We use a Ford ranger. Towing a gross weight trailer caravan 3.46 kg.
    We bought 4 wild peaks, 265/65/17.
    Just bought a new set. Got 55k out of them.
    And yes, I love em. Don't forget to rotate them, tread depth gage. Monitor that in case of under our over inflation.
    BTW, speaking as a bloody. bloke, I like birds too.
    As I taught my daughter, and 16 year old granddaughter, if you hear a warning bell in your head, no matter what, don't ignore it. You're getting a warning.

    If you ever get that uneasy feeling - listen to it. That is something I honestly believe we have as a 6th sense from our great, great (x1000) ancestors that alerted them of some sort of danger. Call it what you want 'gut feeling', 'intuition' - it's those feelings that keep you safe. I've often ignored those feelings because I felt stupid or that I was being dramatic and regretted it after.
    Really awesome wheels by the way!!

    Falkens are great tyres and really popular in Sweden.

    Great Tyres. If they are larger or smaller diameter wheels or tyres you may need your speedometer recalibrated. Just a thought. Cheers from old George.

    Nice wheels! One of the things we learned as seasonal campers (albeit a slightly bigger rig - 45 foot motorhome) is that tires over time sun rot from the UV light. So when we were in camp for a long time (6 months) we would put covers over the tires to block the UV light. In the US, the Department of Transportation require the manufactures to embed in the sidewall of the tire information that will tell you the week and year of manufacturer. The rule of thumb is tires should be replaced 6 years after date of manufacture, regardless of tread depth.
    Louise you mentioned moving because it didn't feel right. GO WITH YOUR GUT. If it feels squirrely you you, act regardless of anyone else's feelings. Better safe than sorry. Keep up the brilliant work!

    Lou, your riverside park up was a couple of miles downstream from where I live and from where the helicopters are based. Often walk my dogs along to there.

    Hi Guys Glad you didn't go the BFG route. We went the chunky discreet no white lettering route as well with Michelin Agilis Cross Climates but also because we wanted to keep the same size so we didn't have to notify the insurer. You have informed them of the change right?. We crossed into Italy this morning after spending the night at Lac du Mt Cenis in France with no border checks whatsoever, just like when we got off the ferry in Calais. The barriers were up and I think they were having a Sunday morning lie in. Typical as we had even gone and paid for PCR tests in Bourg St Maurice. Ideal time to pass through with AJ!

      That's not always true. The wheel size has only gone up an inch, but the overall size may have gone up more, stayed the same or even less. Less isn't likely as you haven't gone for low profile tyres. I actually came here to say because the size is different you may not actually be able to get a valid mpg comparison as your speedo and mileometer are probably now under reading. I would double check your speedo against a sat nav just to make sure so you know what indicated speed to pass speed cameras at.

  • @theonlywoody2shoes
    @theonlywoody2shoes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If those tyres fill the wheel arches more than the set they replaced, they are probably larger diameter - if so the rotational speed (wheel revolutions per minute) is lower for a set speed over the ground, does that mean your speedometer is under reading with those new tyres? I know most (all) vehicles have their speedo over-read as standard, but it would be wise to check against a known distance or reliable GPS.

    My advice Lou is to test those at tyres out on a decent road trip before you head off on a long term trip. I just returned from a two month trip in France and have to say I couldn't wait to take my at tyres off and put the standard tyres back on. The reason is the loss of power in the van due to the tyre size increase, the road noise drive me bloody nuts and also the van was way too bouncy and considerably less stable on the road. Will never use them again unless I'm home in Ireland in the middle of winter

    • @campervibe

    My 1st Tyres got Me 63,800 Kilometres.
    My 2nd Set were identical and got Me 63,400 Kilometres because I got a Puncture and changed to My 3rd Set slightly early.
    The 3rd Set were by a different Manufacturer, one I’d never heard of before and I got them because of a Personal Recommendation by a Friend, but I had Reservations and Trepidations about them right from the outset.
    And I was proved correct as they delivered less then 24,000 Kilometres.
    Set number 4 will be going on shortly and will be the same as My 1st and 2nd Sets.

    Glad you moved on when you felt uncomfortable. That's the best thing to do. I don't think the fact you've only moved on a couple of times is being overconfident; I'm sure I've mentioned before that I've only moved twice in around ten years wilding. The world is not such a big, bad place!
    I know you said, Lou, that you don't often clean the 'van. I have started using an American product called The Last Coat on my motorhome. It's a cinch to apply to a clean vehicle and it coats the surface such that for 6 months or so dirt doesn't stick, it just rinses off using a hose or in heavy rain. You can use it on the windows, plastic trim, pretty much everything, and it gives a fantastic shine. A little goes a very long way so it's good value too. Available from Amazon.

    HI - first ever of your vids and I liked your enthusiasm - will sub and see what your 'normal' vids are like.
    I could not go without offering advice on migraines - I used to get at least 1 a month where I would be hanging over the side of the bed literally wishing I were dead. My GP put me on a low dose of Beta Blocker (Nadolol) which is usually for blood pressure but has a side effect of reducing migraine symptoms and I have not looked back. So if you think your migraines are bad enough to warrant taking a small pill daily for life, please ask about it - was life-changing for me! I still get the odd one but nothing like the severe symptoms I used to get, often just vision effects now is the only way I know I'm having one. Also apparently it does not work for everyone - I was lucky!
