As a comparatively young chap, I appreciate you for explaining your reasoning for going. It's refreshing seeing someone go on a trip for reasons other than, "dude, I wanted to drink beer and drive over rocks with my chrome bro-dozer." Sub'd, without expectations of future videos (enjoy the trip and don't let video production take from your experience).

Good luck Bill, you’re an inspiration to all of us. Safe travels and have a wonderful time!

Best of luck Bill. Please return safe and sound as we love your videos. Your summary of reasons for going is spot on and a sad reflection of a rapidly declining country. Have a great time!

Again a very outspoken - thanks God - video to my liking. Details on your shipping - contacts in Namibia - would be very welcome since it is indeed very hard to find the few trustworthy people!

Looking forward to your next video Bill! Thanks again for this one!

All the best and I wish you a good trip. I would say that your take on videos is quite different to the run of the mill, and as an Engineer myself (electrical rather than mechanical) I appreciate the nitty gritty details in your videos. I have to imagine that a video of interesting things on your trip would absolutely be worth doing. Anyway, good luck with it all!

Thanks for another video! Looking forward to any content you may provide from your trip!

So many thoughts : a) I ate my eggs, bacon and black tea whilst watching this enthralling and alluring preposition. A great start to the day. I sincerely thank you. b) Just this morning here in the Antipodes we get the headline "Christianity in the minority for first time in UK". Ten years ago, Basil Fawlty, oops, John Cleese upset the woke police when he said "There's something terribly wrong when the mother culture is the minority in London". c) Although things are grim you must always remember what Vera Lynn said "There will always be an England" No matter the weather nor how despondent and depressing it becomes it is your job and destiny to remain stoic and maintain Britishness and a stiff upper lip. It is completely within your remit to refuse to do manual labour with the enlisted men. Something about a bridge on a river....But I digress.... haha :-) d) You know, when The King asked Churchill at breakfast "How can you drink at this time of the morning?" he replied "Practice". e) I wish you good health and prosperity. Happy Days are here again. :-)

Hope all going well and looking forward to updates. Lashing in containers including allowance for tyres to deflate and still avoid the vehicle having scope to move is not a subject to be taken lightly. Meanwhile your rear wheel holder concept is now reality, thank you.

Suerte en el viaje, disfrute y nos vemos en el camino compañero.

Amen! Love your content. Wonderful to be able to learn from your experiences.

Just found your channel Bill. I'd say that the videos you put out are most certainly different and most definitely worthy of continuing. You have something to say and a perspective to share that is unique and I for one love it. Your videos have a substance that "influencers" can only dream of. As an ex pat who left Birmingham in 93 aged 23 I liked the insight into the "old" countries current political and economical situation which is pretty much the same as ours here in the "lucky" country. If you ever find yourself tootling around Tasmania then I'll be sure to seek you out and say hello!

Wishing you the happiest trails! Good Luck from Oregon, USA

All the best for the new adventure . Looking forward to seeing where you are going . GOOD LUCK.

Completely missed this video until now. I completely agree with your sentiments on the country and direction of travel, but I have some optimism that more people are starting to wake up. I hope you do put up a video of your travels as I find your no bs attitude and honesty enjoyable to watch. The vast majority of YT'ers are presenting a fictional character and lifestyle to get more clicks. My 109 County is currently parked in a basement garage in Slovenia, hoping to drive it back to the UK next year.

Hi Bill, you are an inspiration. You keep me smiling and positive while I work towards retirement shortly and want to start travelling like you. Keep safe.

good luck on the trip merry xmas ,and try too get xmas dinner on your travels

Always enjoy your videos and the fact you share your knowledge (and opinions ;-) ) with the Landy community. As a new Defender owner (ex-MOD petrol V8), I appreciate what you bring to the community of enthusiasts. Safe travels

Good luck on the trip!!

Congrats on your past adventures and good luck with your future travels!

Great video. Well spoken on topics. Have a great trip sir. Stay safe.

Well done have a great trip, Just put lots photos of in a video no commentary we will work it out !!!!! Thanks again 😊

I’d certainly appreciate watching some video/commentary about problem solving during your trip - whether mechanical or bureaucratic etc. Thanks also for the urine bottle - as a man with a dodgy prostate, that piece of travel kit looks a lot better than an old orange juice bottle! Happy trails, Steve.

Hi Bill, are you still on the road, hope your travels are going well. They just showed a series here on the Last overland trip from Singapore to London in the original Landrover from the first trip in, i think around 1953. It was very impressive. Cheers, Dave

You are quite right about the UKs state of affairs, it terrible. Good luck on your trip, take care. It will be worse when you get back!

Southern Africa maybe lol Enjoy. Safe travels

Safe travels. 👍

Hi Bill, how are the travels going, i hope you are keeping safe and well. Cheers, Dave

All the very best on your future journey, you are an inspiration. I have a question. Have you any experience of rear Salisbury axles on the landrover 110? I have some concerns for longer trips as by all accounts they are very difficult to work on by the average traveller and the advice is to swap the axle out for a td5 version which is easier to replace parts if they should fail. Once again best wishes wherever you adventures take you.

Agreed on all fronts. Looking at the Isle of Man myself. Weather no better but the tax system is.

looking forward to seeing some really slow off road driving. I drive solo on the mountains, you have to be very careful or your not coming home, so easily.

Good for you enjoy

Laughed loudly at your comment about wanting to leave this accursed country with no hurry about coming back. Classic. You should come to Australia, we have the destinations to keep you interested for a long time. You welcome at our place near Brisbane.

Safe enjoyable traveling

have a great trip Bill, sounds exciting! I hope you are not taking cheap Chinese injectors with you......blooming things are terrible but might get you out of a tight spot. Look forward to the report when you return.

It sounds like Britain is falling apart. Looking forward to your next videos Bill. If you ever get to Australia I would love to catch up and buy you a beer 😊

safe travels

I'm curious in which country are you exploring possible residency? I'm also looking at options.

Have fun Bill probably a good time to leave Europe for a while..

Hang on hang on. I thought this was about overlanding and your defender. Was trying to get away from politics for a while.

When will you be back ?

I wish I could tell you to come to America but we are in the same boat, reparations, illegitimate govt,. and all. Enjoy your trip. Let us know if you find a reasonable govt. You produce some of the finest technical, how to, and why videos on You Tube.
