Portugal tour

HI gents
First time I've had decent signal or Wi-Fi to post an update on the trip. The ferry was 2 hours late getting in to santander, which cocked up our plan for Saturday evening. We were supposed to would camp about 3-4 hours away from santander but only managed a couple of hours which left us a ten hour drive to sagres for Sunday. Bit of a slog on Sunday, I had fitted a new vortex type top to my snorkel on the Friday just before we left, didn't realise it didn't let enough air in and it was screaming like a banshee with the air rushing through the veins, the truck was not pulling well either so had to whip that off and drive without a top on the snorkel for the 10 hour drive on Sunday, when we got to camp I cut a load of the veins out so it's ok now but it will go in the bin when I get home and I'll stick the original on. Done some gods tracks on monday and today, I'm currently posting some more videos on YouTube but I will add some pics on here.
That's it for now
Cheers

HI Mark
Truck us awesome, we are wild camping in the most beautiful spot tonight by a river, I haven't got enough signal to put up any pics today but as soon as I get some 4g or WiFi I'll get them up with a video of the water crossing we done to get here. It is everything I hoped it would be.

Great photos. I'd love to do something like this

Jay666d · 10-05-2018, 21:30

It sounds amazing... I hope me and the Old Girl (The Truck... Not a significant other

) can do this sometime!

Just watched the videos Neil!

Some awesome footage there!

I know from experience with the camera, that it will not do the steepness of those inclines/declines any justice at all!
