So we had a unexpectedly beautiful night last night it did rain overnight quite a lot but we weren't in the tent we were in a room in this lovely farm cottage behind us thanks to Chris and Jill who are absolutely amazing because we came in and they said to us last night you know oh we'll cook some dinner we're like okay that sounds amazing oh and also you know the weather looks really bad you don't want to start off this morning with a wet tent so um so we've got a spare bedroom why don't you come in and stay in the spare bedroom and you know we weren't going to say no that is that was unbelievable and that was a beautiful night sleep thank you so much guys it was amazing so here is our map back out and yesterday you can see where we went yesterday we filled that all in up to Marlborough and round to where we are today now the route for today is to basically head completely east along the A272 and if we flip over basically we're going to be heading on the A272 all the way across through the south downs keep going cross keep going across and then we are aiming today to reach a cafe called route 1066 which is here sort of just north of Hastings and they again they're on bunker biker and they said that they have a grass garden that we are allowed to pitch our tent in but our first stop will be at heritage motorcycles where Chris is working on really awesome vintage bikes it's actually his shop so we're going to check out this shop first and then we hit the road so let's get packed up and get on the road okay you in see you all right here we go okay rocking and rolling nice what a lovely farm area they live in with the beautiful countryside around oh it's amazing absolutely incredible Chris's workshop where his business base is just a couple of miles down the road so we're just gonna pop over there go and check out the awesome bikes Chris and Jill they traveled all over the world they have been everywhere it was like back in the in the 90s so they went from England to Australia in the 90s and then about 16 years later they went all the way from Cape to Cape so from from the north from Norway all the way down to South Africa absolutely incredible they have they have really been there and done that they have you know they have been on awesome adventures it was a total pleasure to talk to these guys yeah yeah last night we were just spending the whole evening just chatting away to them that's why we didn't record our evening evening vlog until about 10 o'clock because we were just just chatting away having dinner chatting away about all their adventures they had so much advice and so many so many places they've been so many borders they've crossed so many unbelievable yeah it's absolutely amazing and there's another very good news from this morning we actually managed to book our ferry from Spain to Morocco so the ferries just started to go again like I think on the 18th of April and it's been closed for literally I mean it was open briefly last year but I think it's been mostly closed between Spain and Morocco for about the last two years and so we kind of were really hoping every day that these ferries would start up again and that you would we would actually be able to make that crossing and not have to actually ship the bike we had planned some shipping routes between Marseille or Genoa down to Morocco but that was going to cost a thousand pounds or something yeah it's amazing because now we had just had to pay 170 pounds about to cross with our motorbike from Spain to Morocco and we booked the date it's for the 16th of May yep so we have about one month between here and the south of Spain yeah look at this nice camper oh wow look at that hello I think a month is a perfectly reasonable time to go down through France down through Spain maybe through Portugal down to Tarifa and then Tarifa to Tangia so North Africa we are coming we are finally doing it heading down into Morocco ah I cannot wait I cannot wait hey guys we are super excited to announce that we have just launched our very own t-shirt to help fund our round the world trip it's called the Overlander and we designed it ourselves it's got the awesome adventure motorcycle on it and the world of overlanding possibilities around we absolutely love how it turned out and we hope you love it too in buying one of these Overlander tees you will be helping us to get a warm meal a tank of fuel or a good night's sleep along the way so all you have to do is click the link in the description to order your awesome adventure t-shirt thanks so much guys ride safe and we see you on the road look at that very cool that would be one way to travel around the world hey yeah definitely very interesting nice okay we've just hit the A272 this is the route that we're pretty much going to be following for the whole of today so I've just routed down to the route 1066 cafe just north of Hastings and it is 105 miles to get there so we'll probably do a whole bunch have a lunch break do the second half and get there in early afternoon it's just gone past midday so we should have some really nice riding ahead through the south downs and uh actually Chris was telling us that this this road the A272 is well known for bikers to go down and he said it's just lovely and twisty and turny and beautiful so yeah we can just roll down this road and see how it goes it is a little bit cloudy today but the forecast doesn't say any rain for the day anymore so our fingers crossed I mean it looks pretty ominous when you look above it doesn't look very nice but ah we just every hour where there's no rain is is good so we'll just carry on and hope for the best yeah the winding road of the A272 nice so we have just arrived in mid-horst yep mid-hurst mid-hurst how did you pronounce it mid-horst mid-horst yeah we've already covered 41 miles today it's been super quick actually this road is amazing it just winds through it's awesome so we'll probably stop in mid-hurst to eat our lunch oh yeah this is the old center it looks like very charming places oh there's the Tesco Express there we go falafels we've got our tortilla from yesterday we've got some french bread or some red bull Philadelphia cheese coming out of the out of the town have a beautiful picnic over the hills oh no it looks like it's just starting to rain uh-oh it's around coming up to three o'clock and it's been holding off all day with the dark sky but it looks like it's our luck is finally running out and the rain is just about to start time to put our rain clothes on ready for the rain our first time riding in the rain since we got bumblebee this will be a good test of this rst waterproof overgear i've got the full set got it on my gloves yeah let's see how it goes yeah it looks like it's going to be rain probably for the rest of the ride 51 miles to go so i guess we'll just have to just let it hit us push through take it easy and we'll be all right the sunshine is over yeah the summer has not begun yet that's not begun the biggest course i've ever seen where's she going oh no oh she's gone all right back to the bike it looks like we're coming just up to the last mile of the journey of the day it's been so far 122 miles so it's actually ended up a bit longer than we expected and it is still raining it's been raining not crazy but it's been raining pretty much the whole time yeah not super heavy but enough that you just constantly wet but luckily it's only the outer layer that's constantly wet and actually it feels quite comfortable like really the water doesn't seem to have gotten just yet so the first rain test has been pretty successful i'm i am quite happy with this so it looks like we're coming up to the route 1066 cafe and that'll hopefully be where they've got a nice place for us to pitch our tent and then that'll be our first night camping of the trip i think this is it 1066 cafe there we go but i think they might even be closed they are closed so hopefully we'll be all right it was a long ride so i'm really happy that we arrived we'll probably pitch up the tent just over there yeah so we got in contact with 1066 cafe everything's nicely set up look at that we've got our our box here we've got our tanking looks great it's very cozy so it should be a pretty comfortable night yes yes so it was a really really how we can handle the rain and that it was actually not too bad to drive around the rain for like six hours and then we just powered on through just kept going through the rain it was absolutely a lovely road though nice twisty through all the south downs and everything through forests and hills it was it was a really nice road so anyway if you enjoyed this episode today please
