Isolated Adventures
April 30, 2020 by TLO in Adventure

Despite pretending we have adventures were ever we go, things have some what dried up in recent weeks. Let be honest, life is f’ing dull. I’m not going to polish this turd and tell you all what a great time we have had and how it’s almost as much fun as real life. It isn’t, that would simply be a lie. We are all bored out of our skulls, desperate to get back to work, socialising, travelling, moving and interacting with other people. I told Lexi all of my jokes about 5 years ago, so my material is thinner than my hair and her patience is thinner still, I am now realizing part of the reason our relationship has lasted nearly 10 years is that i have only been at home for about 3 weeks of that! It now seems sitting in silence mindlessly flicking through social media is the new normal. Will this new found addiction to my phone ever subside?

I, like every other smug prick with an instagram account, have tried to learn some new stuff during these unprecedented times – I have learnt that being in isolation with a talkative 3 year old is like having an insane parrot super glued to your shoulder.  I have learnt I can now do an entire weekly shop whilst holding my breath. I have learnt my iPhone’s face recognition doesn’t work when I have 2 chocolate digestives in my mouth, and that no amount of shouting will make a 6 year old learn his times tables. I have learnt that when a puppy eats a green crayon their poo goes green and that by far my favourite member of my family is our new pet dinosaur called Brian…let me introduce you.

Secretly I am a bit fed up of being sanctimonious and pretending “the good life” is hugely rewarding, really what I want to say is: Homemade pizza is not as good as Carluccios, homemade sourdough is not as good as a supermarket loaf, home cured salted pork belly is revolting, digging compost heaps is not rewarding, making papier-mâché creatures is not fun and Joe Wickes is a bit of a twat.

So with that in mind Archie, Jack and I have taken on the challenge set by no one at all, in making a video of our adventures through isolation and trying to make it look fun. A combination of dens, camps, bike rides, baking, puzzles, lego, swimming, nerf gun raids on our new puppy have meant our Isolated adventures do look way more fun than the reality if you never see longer than 4 seconds, cut it together with a fat Ozzie singer and hey presto Isolation suddenly doesn’t look so bad, and maybe that’s actually how we will try and remember it!

    I LOVED that!! You may be bored rigid but that film was a real feel good 5 minutes and definitely cheered my day. Missing you all from a remote Granny/ Mummy xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Looks fun to me but, as you say, it’s all the time not on screen that’s the challenge.. The effort is really appreciated and the boys will have permanent reminders of their Doha lives. As will you and Lex when you look back from afar. At least you’re putting effort into it and it shows. Well done. Our love to you all. Ian

  • A winter camp to remember - Closing the 2023 camping year with a real bang, an amazing spot in Alentejo played host to a hysterical weekend. Made even funnier with some full on food failures (by me) and some logistical challenges of cold weather camping! Bring on the spring.

  • As we left the mountains I had assumed epic landscape would fall away, I hadn’t taken into account dreary Northern European weather would take over. We thrashed through northern Spain over the last two days with little to report.

This afternoon we found a wonderful lunch spot for swimming, caving and watching the Lionesses thrash the Mathildas.

I used every ounce of my religious knowledge in explaining to the boys what the Camino de Santiago was as we inadvertently tracked the route to the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, I think they got the idea and we enjoyed a bit of culture, for but a moment!

Then on to Portugal for a final camp by the sea, we eyed up a spot that I proceeded to entirely under estimate and got Ventura extremely wonky and stuck. Suffice to say I thought we needed a tractor, but after an hour of solo digging, scraping and tyre deflation the sand gods let us free.

An epic sunset closed our final full day on the road, all things being well we track down the coast to Lisbon tomorrow afternoon!

  • Endless switchbacks, tunnels, mountain passes and epic Mountain View’s was the theme of todays drive. We had the Odessa Valley in our sights for the close of the day, but Ventura pulled like a train and we made it by lunch for a swim.

A casual 7 hours of driving later and we made it to our lakeside camp without seeing a dual carriageway all day and mainly sticking to single tracked roads. 

The Pyrenees wins.

  • The Smugglers Way - An awesome off road route from Andorra to Spain that closed my first day crossing the Pyrenees (east to west) with the boys. 

Not the most challenging 4x4 route, but a perfect off road interlude for our marathon 2,000 km trip home. Today was Northern Spain, Southern France and the whole of Andorra (one road east to west) before we took on the Smugglers Way.

We chased eagles with the drone, crossed ‘illegal’ borders, swam in wild rivers, camped and ate wonderful steak all whilst gawping at the epic landscape. Day 2 has a lot to live up to.

  • Today marks the start of an epic summer road trip around the entire Iberian Peninsula. 3,700 kms. That’s the same as Sydney to Perth, or Lisbon to Gdańsk, or London to Inverness four and a bit times.

We plan to drive from Lisbon, to Faro, to Seville, to Malaga, to Valencia, to Barcelona, to Girona and on into the Pyrenees to explore the mountains and to take on the famous off-road route “The Smugglers Way” an old cigarette trading route between Andorra and Spain. Then from the mountains to Bilbao, to the Babia Y Luna national park and into Northern Portugal to the Douro valley and then to travel south down the Portuguese coast and back home to Lisbon.

Today was the new drone pilot Archie’s first day the helm. This video is all his footage (unless he is in it) stay tuned to watch his drone piloting develop and our adventure unfold.

What could possibly go wrong…

  • @landrovercarhostoffroad4x4 recently fitted a new canopy from @exmoortrim and some LED’s to Ventura here in Lisbon. Hard to disagree she is now looking extremely good. Juan and his team at Car Host certainly know how to wield a spanner, great job. Ventura is getting ready for a 3,750km trip around the entire Iberian Peninsula this August, watch this space for more excitement and breakdowns this summer.

  • Another mega camping trip under our belts, awesome spot near Tomar - wild, beautiful and totally fabulous. Boys had never swum in fresh water. Can’t wait to go back.

  • An incredible weekend off roading in the mountains of Serra de Estrella. I got to take part in the 17th edition of the all terrain tour of Gouveia, hundreds of vehicles touring the mountains trails that weave through the area. Stunning countryside, hilarious company, incredible food and fabulous wine. 
Ventura was the first non Portuguese 4x4 to take part and was the least modified to complete the course, and she still has all straight panels!! Definitely the wildest off road experience I have had with Ventura and I can’t wait for the next one, a truly epic way to see hidden parts of this extraordinary country.

Day 2 has a lot to live up to. . . . #smugglersway #crosspyrenees #landrover110 #td5 #dualcab #defender110 #theadventuretruck #landylove #defender #greenlane #landroverclub #td5mafia #defendertd5 #landroverlove #dcpu #adventuretruck #landroverlifestyle #beachrunner #landroverphotos #landroveroflisbon #defender_life_style #venturatruck #travel #adventure

Today marks the start of an epic summer road trip around the entire Iberian Peninsula. 3,700 kms. That’s the same as Sydney to Perth, or Lisbon to Gdańsk, or London to Inverness four and a bit times. We plan to drive from Lisbon, to Faro, to Seville, to Malaga, to Valencia, to Barcelona, to Girona and on into the Pyrenees to explore the mountains and to take on the famous off-road route “The Smugglers Way” an old cigarette trading route between Andorra and Spain. Then from the mountains to Bilbao, to the Babia Y Luna national park and into Northern Portugal to the Douro valley and then to travel south down the Portuguese coast and back home to Lisbon. Today was the new drone pilot Archie’s first day the helm. This video is all his footage (unless he is in it) stay tuned to watch his drone piloting develop and our adventure unfold. What could possibly go wrong… . . . #landrover110 #td5 #dualcab #defender110 #theadventuretruck #landylove #defender #landroverclub #td5mafia #defendertd5 #landroverlove #dcpu #adventuretruck #landroverlifestyle #beachrunner #landroverphotos #landroveroflisbon #defender_life_style #venturatruck #travel #holiday #adventure #iberianadventure

@landrovercarhostoffroad4x4 recently fitted a new canopy from @exmoortrim and some LED’s to Ventura here in Lisbon. Hard to disagree she is now looking extremely good. Juan and his team at Car Host certainly know how to wield a spanner, great job. Ventura is getting ready for a 3,750km trip around the entire Iberian Peninsula this August, watch this space for more excitement and breakdowns this summer. . . . #landrover110 #td5 #dualcab #defender110 #theadventuretruck #landylove #defender #greenlane #landroverclub #td5mafia #defendertd5 #landroverlove #dcpu #adventuretruck #landroverlifestyle #beachrunner #landroverphotos #landroveroflisbon #defender_life_style #landrovermena #venturatruck #travel #adventure #classiccar #restoration #project #exmoortrim

An incredible weekend off roading in the mountains of Serra de Estrella. I got to take part in the 17th edition of the all terrain tour of Gouveia, hundreds of vehicles touring the mountains trails that weave through the area. Stunning countryside, hilarious company, incredible food and fabulous wine. Ventura was the first non Portuguese 4x4 to take part and was the least modified to complete the course, and she still has all straight panels!! Definitely the wildest off road experience I have had with Ventura and I can’t wait for the next one, a truly epic way to see hidden parts of this extraordinary country. . . . #landrover110 #td5 #dualcab #defender110 #theadventuretruck #landylove #defender #greenlane #landroverclub #td5mafia #defendertd5 #landroverlove #dcpu #adventuretruck #landroverlifestyle #beachrunner #landroverphotos #landroveroflisbon #defender_life_style #landrovermena #venturatruck #travel #adventure #classiccar #restoration #project #serradeestrela #gouveia #landroverportugal
