ALBANIA - WE GOT IT WRONG 

Ah hello, so good to hear from you, we really enjoyed meeting you 😀

Hi Amanda, thank you and our pleasure. I think you'd really like it Albania, it's a bit wild (like Pauls hair) 😘

@@TheGapDecaders 🤣 I have been cutting it …. So heaven only knows what it will look like going forward 🤣

😂😂Is it a "should have gone to Spec Savers" moment? 😁😘@@askthechicken

Hi Dave, I'm sat here after a days editing with a glass of red, beaming 😀 as I read this🍷 It's rare to receive any recognition, so your positive feedback is so incredibly welcomed, thank you so much. I started the channel 21 months ago with zero videography, editing or RU-vid knowledge and needless to say it's been a steep learning curve. I had an old GoPro and DJI Mavic Air which I used for the odd image or faffing about, and I still use the most basic editing suite, iMovie. I'm not a techie kinda guy so RU-vid tutorials were my go-to for everything. After drowning my second drone and with the change in Drone laws across Europe, I decided to stick with something under 250g, hence the DJI Mini 2. Re: set up and capturing material, Izzy's laughing and says "if you only knew". We've had a few barneys over my continuous desire to stop, set up, run back, set up a different camera angle, and argue as I drive and operate the drone on a challenging track. It's hard to imagine (for those who don't video edit) quite how much time it takes to create a e.g. 20 minute video, I love the idea of making a video showcasing what it takes. It might well be a challenge for early next year in between the new truck build. In saying all of that, I think something needs to change, the niche is small and even using all the SEO and Tubebuddy tools, the channel's grown slowly. But for now, thanks Dave, you've made my night 🙏🍷😀

Dear Izzy, if you buy Phil a DJI MIni 4 Pro he could get it to follow the truck whilst keeping both his hands on the steering wheel. It also has anti crash sensors. Just think of the increased peace of mind you will have. 😅 Phil, I too have crashed a Mini 2 perhaps we can exchange stories at some time! Once again I love your work, I hope you enjoyed the 🍷

@@daveroberts-bridgnorth haha has he paid you? Maybe for the next special birthday!

😂😂 Thanks Eve 😘

Hi, I'll put the link below... it's without question a game changer. 👍🏻😀 eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/eu-freedom-of-movement-and-residence.html

Oh yes loving my Irish passport even more now!! 😍 Many thanks for this awesome news.

Pleasure 🍷😀@@agetyrrell

Hi Rob, cheers 🍷🙏

😂😂👍🏻

Thank you! 😀

Hi Bob, thank you and appreciate you saying. We average about 15/16mpg, we tend not to exceed 80kph on good roads, and obviously any time spent on mountain roads and sand/desert conditions greatly reduces that mpg figure (closer to 12) Good luck with the search. 👍🏻😀

Hi David, our pleasure. Yeah, the whole litter thing is a blight, particularly when it's so naturally beautiful.

Hi Debbie it depends on the country! Some don't stamp Phil's Irish passport, but mine is always stamped, and if they don't I ask them to. This is because if I even need/want to travel solo or head back to the UK without Phil, I need the evenidence of my Schengen ins and outs. We do carry our marriage certificate and printed copies of the legislation in various langauages, but have never had to use either (and I use my maiden name officially, so our passports have different surnames). Hope that helps :) Izzy

Hi thanks, it's superb, we loved following it. 🙏😀

Hi there this is the legislation you want eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/eu-freedom-of-movement-and-residence.html. I spent a lot of time talking directly with the EU - it definitely applies scrips the whole bloc :)

Having a V5, Driving License and V5 is indeed essential. They (Border officials) do very much care about how long non-Schengen residents stay (or overstay), we've been challenged a number of times and held in Calais for 90 minutes before proving Izzy had the right to travel with me under the EU legislation, using my Irish passport.

@@TheGapDecaders But it's like displaying the UK sticker many will say that's a big deal but hardly anyone will ever be stopped for a minor infringement like that. Same applies for food rules it's probably a million to 1 that a boarder official would check for food.

Yeah, you could literally walk every inch of the castle with nobody blinking an eye. When we came back into Albania on a different border crossing, it actually felt like a different country and it just kept giving. 🙏😀

She's a lucky girl ☘️ 😀
