You made a point about Ireland...i said this before you should come over..just a tip if you find a pub or any place ask owner if ok to park for the night and explain your eating drinking there.. if no move on...loads of places at the side of road also... a good example Google goat Island ballnamona waterford...there's small beach plus not many people know it could park there for a week if you wanted.

@@WanderbusAdventures hey Rich, we’ve actually followed you since you more or less got the bus mate, I was using a different channel then ( Ant Hart ) but now we’ve started a build of our own too decided to start a new channel as well👍🏼 I’ll be honest, if I had the skills to do what you’ve done with yours, and a c1 license a vario would be top of my list too. Amazing vehicle! I love how mechanical it is and not needing to be plugged in and diagnosed all the time!ha all the best to you and the family mate 😊
