Omg, just saw it on my feed. I can't believe it is over. Thank you both for every moment of it. Just love it. Next it is mark and mine turn in 7 year time. Love to you Ro, Lae PNG
Perth to Perth - is definitely a 'thing' now. However, China, Russia relations may delay others following in your footsteps. $400 to fill tank!!! The $100 Alps tunnel pass is value by comparison. For a moment there, I thought the trip was ending on 99 episodes. Troopy is like a pet. Glad it gets to come home in episode 100.
@@TheWayOverland I drove a small RHD FWD Renault hatchback in July 1988 through an Alps tunnel. Traffic was heavy and slow and one lane each way. And there were 'windows' into steep valleys - air exchange perhaps. I figured if I broke down they would just push my car out a 'window' to keep traffic moving. I had tried to find a pass via back roads to avoid a 30 Swiss Franc year long motorway pass - I wanted to see Swiss country side on my way from Oxford, where I was staying while doing motorway repairs not far away, to Genoa. But back then it was paper maps and it was a hopeless task trying to go anywhere on unfamiliar roads. So, within an hour I had bought a pass. Forget what I paid for the tunnel.
Congratulations folks! What a journey. The wind at John O'Groats looks strong enough to blow the paint right off your Troopy! Should be able to celebrate with a Scottish meat pie and a decent cuppa tea. 😉☕
Thanks Geoff, we knew it was going to be windy though that was crazy. For us, probably very normal for the locals. Celebrations were had though with the colder, more bubbly 'tea'. 🍻
Awesome trip .. Perth to Perth .. love it. I have thoroughly enjoyed your YTs, thank you both for taking us all along for the amazing journey. What's next :)
No worries Andrew, glad you've enjoyed the videos! Next will be giving the Troopy some overdue love and attention, then a bit of travel around Aus. Long term there's a few options on the table..... Cheers 🙂
What a journey it has been. I've thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Thank you for taking us along with you through the many highs and (as Kitty mentioned) even the lows. You are such an inspiration to many of us with wanderlust in our hearts but work meetings on our calendars. =)
Thanks Jeff, glad you've enjoyed the journey also. Haha yes, those work meetings have been slowly growing in our calendars also, thus the need to get home. Our work to holiday ratio has been in very comfortable position for a very long time now so we have nothing to complain about!!
Thanks Rachel, the NC500 was a great finish to the trip. Hopefully the weathers much better for your journey than it was for us, it's a magic part of the UK regardless! Cheers
Great final video of your trip was fun traveling with you along this epic adventure . Have enjoyed all your videos and watched some more than once . May be you will get to come to the Americans and do the pan American trip . That’s one on my list to do . Thanks again for sharing your wonderful travel memories with us your over landing friends . Cheers and may your future travels be as awesome as this last one . Thanks from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🥂😁🍻👍🏼
Hey Jolie and Mark. Greetings from sunny Adelaide. Congratulations on achieving the Perth to Perth global trail. What an epic adventure with a mixture of highs and lows. Looking forward to your future adventures.
Well done guys. A fantastic achievement making many memories along the way some of which I'm sure you would rather forget. Everything we experience in life shapes who we are and never forget, everything happens for a reason. Finally, we have a saying here in the U.K. "it's grim up North". x
Thanks! We like to look at it with a bit of relativity, we had a good run for a very long time, and now it's behind us.👍🏻 Haha yes, 'grim' is one way to put it, could image long term it could become tiring though it was a great experience for our small exposure! Cheers
I was worried that when you got here in the Uk it would be a disappointment, after all the amazing sites you’ve seen. But at least Scotland delivered a bit of Drama for you. Well done. You done good. 👍❤️
Great video guys. You always manage to get some magnificent views of the mountains. Simply amazing...Good to see the price of fuel too. I did a quick calculation to Aussie dollars. Works out your €1.759 was equivalent to $2.58 AUD. I paid that just a few weeks ago in Marble Bar. So I felt your pain .. lol
What an amazing trip. The sights and people you met. The Ups and Downs. So inspiring. We hope to do the same in a few years time. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hi Ya and welcome to the UK and rally glad you have some nice weather to greet you. And the big question from me is , what are your plans and will you tour further? Mongolia Japan maybe? Hope you are keeping well
The weather for the crossing was incredible, we had considered the tunnel though with that weather the ferry was an easy choice. We'll do some further travels though they'll be ex-Aus, for the short term it'll be travelling around this big beautiful country we call home. These travels have definitely made us appreciate it even more! Cheers
Hi guys Are you kidding ?!?! Race trough Europe in a day? What’s the plan now..?? This can’t be it.! BTW when was this vid taken 2021 winter ?? Cheers guys and waiting for more…
No jokes Holger! We found 5th gear! We've lived and travelled in Western Europe previously, coupled with the prospect of having the Troopy home for an Aus summer was too good to miss so we pushed through. Have to give the Troopy some well overdue affection and do some 'remodelling' on the interior, then we'll be heading off for some exploring of Aus. Yep, late '21. Cheers
@@TheWayOverland hi guys, understandable… yep, the troopy and outfit looked in urgent need of serious maintenance and a complete revamp inside.. Will be a substacial investment in the girl… There are so many new things on the market now which makes a huge leap forward. Europe Germany shows so many new things where we get our ideas from to find in OZ. Not always successful and since the vehicles are much different in size and functionality. I am looking for myself right now for an new high voltage solar panel system and LiFePo4 battery inverter/ charger system for my van. Going internationally can’t pass the victron gear, to get anywhere… and well fit into a system. I guess you have by now the garage shocka block full of nice new gear for the troopy reconditioning.. the wheels off and the axles dismantled and stripped…for the big recon from bottom to top… Let us have a glimps when you are done… Cheers

A big congrats to the both of you, what an incredible journey. Over the last 5 years your followers have seen what they may never see in real life. please contact SBS to do a documentary on your travels, because the photography was amazing. Great to see the troopy survived. I will be 4x4 to remote surf breaks in Australia next year and I do hope we cross paths on your Australian travels. Thank you guys.
Cheers, We'd like to think it weighs heavier on the ups now! Well that's what we're focusing on anyway. Most of the shooting is on a Sony A7RIII - 16-35,70-200. We used an iPhone 12 Pro for a fair bit of these last episodes which would be good in isolation though when paired against the Sony it's clearly subpar. Editing is on Premiere, after 100 eps think we're actually starting to get the hang of it haha.
Haha we did talk about that a lot Scott though we wanted to do some Aus travel for a while first. Get life back on track then see where we're at for future longer trips. Cheers
@@TheWayOverland OMG... I just checked, and I watched that Ep too. I better check into my doctors 🤣🥺 Yes... Marry the Troopy. It deserves a whole episode devoted to the amazing job it's done
A fair bit, when we're international we use it when ever travelling with other people, or when one of us is walking away from the car, checking a track for example. At home it's always on. The newer aerials are removable which we'll be swapping to shortly.
@@TheWayOverland it would be cheaper, faster, and safer to go to Halifax from France or England. Then cross Canada and go up to Alaska, Yukon, or the NWT, then head south to Ushuaia. Then ship from Ushuaia to either South Africa or home to Australia.
@@TheWayOverland 😥 so Ushuaia up to Alaska, then across Canada to Halifax, ro-ro to France, then Africa? Too bad. You could have been at Overland Expo East in October. Maybe we'll see you in 2024.
