I used to love packing up what ever kit I had "not much " bung it all in a nail of the motor I had at the time and bugger of few months and I'd say the pyrenees was my favourite and I also like Germany, we parked up in a gateway on a forest road for the night in the old ambulance I'd convert and woke up to something hitting the van and when I opened the door it was wild pigs rooting about so just went back to sleep and woke to find flat tyre and more dents along the side of motor .
I have a couple mates who live in hungry ,they moved out few years ago and live in what we'd call a farm
