Broken Up. - Ep.1
🕑 Added 2024-09-08 14:21:16 +0000 UTCHere we go again!
Following some, lets say less than ideal situations, I find myself drawn back to the open road, and to a location I've longed to return to since my 'big trip" in 2018 - Italy.
There we get back to Vanlife basics, figure out a new life dynamic and remind myself why I was drawn to this free and nomadic lifestyle in the first place, which as this series continues proved to be the perfect remedy.
We' return to some familiar places, many new ones, face numerous challenges and conditions, as well as put the van through her paces and way out of her comfort zone all over again.
Thank you for your patience, I hope you enjoy and that the wait was worth it.
All my best,
C.J

Gotta be honest. I know the motivation for making this trip comes from acute heartbreak, (sadness and anger also maybe) but I am absolutely delighted you have come full circle to take on another European travel adventure. I for one appreciate how tough it must have been to find the reserves to document, edit and share it- so thank you. Bloody love CJ, Amber and Lance putting their combined fates onto the unknown road ahead. Inspirational viewing. Bravo once again.
Stephen Williamson
Good watch mate but hard one also. You will get there though glad your back missed you
Ste Tomlinson
Glad to have you back CJ. So sorry things didn’t workout. But get yourself better and sending you a few manly hugs. Not a bad effort with the travel blog. Some excellent cinematography and editing. Have you thought of doing this full time? 😉😀 Onwards and upwards. 👍💪

Oh wow, brilliant! Wonderful to have ye both back on here, and to see lance looking so well. Sorry but ' Emma took the gravy powder ' was really funny, for me not for you of course!

No vignettes, just a few tolls at Class 2 or 3 I can't remember now. Out of motorways and cities there was nothing.
Maxine

I remember when my Mrs just up and left that was 20 years ago and I still don't know why.? I thought we was ok ,but how wrong I was, took me ages to sort my head out and get use to being alone again, they are a strange breed for sure.
sam coysh
good to see you and lance back looks like you've both had fun on this trip, good to see you smiling by the end of the video

Richard Clements
Watching Lance he knows there was something up, he really is your soul mate a one in a million. Its great to see you back
Chas House
Welcome back young man! Great to see you back doing your story telling style. Sharing you inner struggles is not just good for you but also good for people like me. It reminds us we are not alone. I am sure you don't realise the positive impact of that side of the videos. Stunning scenery and brilliant watching Lance just doing Lance! That dam is such a tragedy. I wonder if anyone survived.

Despite your pain and your lack of picking up the camera ( your words) you still bounced back and gave us a bloody great video, well edited a great story and best of all , it's great to have you back. Looking forward to Episode 2. Best Wishes AL

The things that don’t kill us, make us stronger, I know it’s hard to come to terms with, but it’s true, life is something you live through, it’s not a spectator sport…….

Glad to see you back, I’m thinking that bike could do with some motocross style rim locks - seems to eat inner tubes lol. All the best pal, keep chin up
andrew matlock
Brilliant. Glad to see you have been experiencing "better" places. Sometimes life gets in the way and the only way in dealing with things is move forward, who knows what's round the corner.....end of trite shite, have you no fear?,going down those narrow paths, I'd be sweating like the crack on a glass blowers arse. Glad his nibs is getting back to good health, alongside your good self.
