The Nc500 is a fantastic road to drive. I did it a couple of years ago but wish I had spent more time exploring rather than just driving it so I can say I drove it.

Dont get a cooler hooked up to your cigarette lighter and expect your car to start in the morning, I learned that the hard way lol.
Hi Ellie!! That was really beautiful drive even with the fog!! I wish I had your enthusiasm for driving to different places alone but then I’m a lot older than you, turning 70 on Thursday and didn’t get my license until 5 years ago after my husband passed away. I live following your adventures!! Just stay safe!! 💜

@@EleanorGraceDiaries I actually just returned from Disney World 2 weeks ago as an early birthday gift to myself. I don’t celebrate on my birthday as my husband passed away in my birthday but I celebrate with friends either before or after. Thanks so much!! 🤗
Your laugh is so infectious,your videos brighten the worst days . Keep them coming please x
Wind, rain, burnt sausages and broken eggs. A real culinary delight under difficult circumstances … I would have not faired better, you are not alone!! BBC Weather!! It will be a calm and clear night … we got hit with a hurricane (1987). The forecasts has not improved since 🤣🤣 It’s great to see you so happy, Chedder Gorge is on my list either this summer or next. You should go to the beach, find a nice quiet spot and chill for an hour, night times the best … it’s quiet!! Catch you in the next one 😁😁
Hey Ellie! That was a nice drive with a great view! I wonder if it's a little eerie to drive at night. I'll see you next Sunday have a great week!😀
Michelin Tyre style cooking. No hate intended! That road was amazing.❤️

Hi ellie,head off up to the scottish highlands and go explore off the beaten track as you will find many stunning drives and wild camping places 😊 this is where i am living .if you want to explore further away then head off to the alps and also head off up into the mountains off the beaten track,iv done them afew times in my land rovers and i am moving into my defender 110 in 2 months to live full time and will save me over £1100 a month on bills which i can then use towards doing many more overlanding trips 😎.take care and have FUN 😁
hi Ellie, its like you woke up and thought today is the day im going to have a new start, cut down on coffee, cut down on sweets and going to the gym, i was expecting you to say its a April fool. Such a wonderful little trip that you had and it was nice to see Stitch. We have seen your cooking but those poor sausages looked like road kill. I was praying that you could pull out of the field unlike your yellow bug when you had to get a tow. Take care in this WTF weather we are having, cause at this rate you both and your house(car) could end up in oz. ❤
Hi Ellie, I absolutely love Cheddar Gorge, thank you so much for taking us with you, all the very best from Nick in Wolsingham x
Hello Eleanor, your video was recommended to me by KZread and I have to honestly say, it's really good to see such a positive person and also such a cool Land Rover Freelander lovely named Stitch (how came it to the name Stitch for your car?)! The shots of the landscape during your car ride and of course elsewhere are wonderful and very well worth seeing! Many greetings from Styria, Austria 🇦🇹, Christoph 😊
I really enjoyed your videos and look forward to them. Don't listen to any of the negatives comments as you the one out there doing the channel which is helping your mental health which is anything positive for you which is there most important part for you as you expressing your views and opinions. Keep up the great work xx
Hi Eleanor, Enjoying the vlogs. Thank you. Also love the choice of vehicle but you could say I am somewhat biased. If you get a cooler, they ruin all the time drawing 30-50w so better to run off the Jackery and if you can supplement with solar when you can. Running it of the car will flatten the battery. Better off with a compressor fridge over a cooler IMO. Not sure if you have some of this stuff already but if I may can I suggest a few things. 1. An air compressor should any tyres lose pressure. 2. Spare tyre valve caps, stops any crap getting in the valve and affecting pressures. I also carry spare valves as I drive mine off road a fair bit. But valve caps are a good thing to have. 3. Spare blade fuses. Fuse boxes are located under the bonnet on the passenger side, below the glove box and under the boot floor. 4. Jump leads and a jump pack. 5. If you car camp on grass a fair bit the terrain response will sort you most times but some traction boards may be worth it if you will see a lot of rain, they can be stored on roof racks/rails. 6. Basic Tool kit, you never know. 7. Tow Strap. Must visit Cheddar Gorge myself sometime, looks great.
Genuinely, spat out a mouthful of Coca-Cola over me keyboard when you said "for those that are new here, I cannot cook" and the look to the camera lol. Oh brilliant :)
Love your videos you are a natural at this very posstiv and so happy and cheerful keep up the good work
Howdy neighbour! I love that you’re so happy right now. Thank you for being you xx❤️
Got to correct you here hun...the sausages weren't burned...they were 'caramelised"! 😂 Cheddar Gorge looked impressive. My first love has just moved to Somerset from over this way. She said it's lovely there and wants me and another classmate to come visit. Told her we might when the weather improves. Another great video, thanks for taking us along on your trip
Oh wow Cheddar Gorge looks incredible, that’s now on my bucket list! You know what else looks nice, those earrings you have on! Love the video, can’t wait to see you next week! Have a great week x
What a fantastic drive. It reminded me of Castleton in the Peak District! Loved the video as always! You cannot rely on the weather in this country! 😅 Hope you're doing okay! xxx
Another special journey. Thank you. I know I'm late. Been working on a second property/apartment to work out of. I really enjoy these. Keep up the good work. Love you bunches 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Ellie, Cheddar Gorge looks so amazing with the fog. I took my daughter a few years ago when she was quite young, she was so disappointed at the lack of cheese!!
That's exactly how I cook my sausages ... That sandwich looked delicious ... I am going to make one now just like that !!! lol
Another adventure with the amazing zany Ellie :) You never fail to make us smile with your addictive full speed full-on edits of your trips - and this one lived up to expectations with excitement / drama (well.. sausage drama) / and chaos....lol ;) You ask for other suggestions for some great driving roads? Well as it happens, I have two in mind which I have driven in my own Freelander so I can recommend them if you feel you want to cross the border ;) A5 in North Wales heading between Betws-y-Coed and Bangor - the height of the adjacent mountains takes your breath away (check out Streetview); and down in South Wales, the infamous Black Mountain Pass A4069 between Llandovery and Brynamman, as used by Top Gear and others. Takes you over the top with stunning views, as well as a challenge for your brakes coming down but totally manageable in Stitch.... Already looking forward to your next exciting adventure as you seem to feel so much better now! As always, take care and safe travels :) Pete
Love this video, Ellie, thank you! Your enthusiasm is contagious :)
Hey Ellie! My first time commenting and just want to send you some love and support love the journey you and the channel are on. Forget the haters you have been getting they are more than likely jealous of you for being brave enough for doing this and showing the ups and downs of your life. Cheddar Gorge looks amazing would love to visit it and drive on it. But i'd recommend coming up to the Peak District which is all beautiful and drive on the Winnats Pass and the Cat ‘n’ Fiddle. Looking forward to your next video! Dan X

Ell driving through cheddar gorge looked amazing, it looked so atmospheric with the mist as well but imagine blue sky and the sun out that would of been even more amazing. 🤣the steamed up windows if I was in the car with you I probably would of drawn a penis 🤣cos I'm so immature and you know most men would of done the same if they was in the car too 🤣 Ell loved the video ❤🤗

@@EleanorGraceDiaries should be able to get one supplied and fitted for £200 now. On my transit I had it fitted in the engine bay to minimise noise inside.
Putting coolant in a car in Pommyland seems a bit of an oxymoron. I’m guessing that’s the field you were freezing your tits off in? I’ve only ever felt that cold a couple of times. The last time was at a Roadhouse about 1,200 km from here, heading back from a trip to outback South Australia. I’m not sure if you know this, but it takes about 16 hours of driving to get to our state border. Anyway, it was August, which is our winter, and the wind was blowing off the Antarctic. I parked at the back of the Roadhouse for the night and I was wearing full tracksuit a beanie, five blankets and socks, all while I was in a thick winter sleeping bag. I was in bed by 7 pm and I remember it took about half an hour to get warm before I could sleep. Up again at 5am for a hot shower and an 11 hour plus stops drive home. Looks like your weather forecasters just sit at the local pub and use darts to do a forecast. All that stuff in summer as well. It must make it challenging in Winter. Our winter involves a fair bir of rain but not like the east coast. Often we get rain from the north west which means warmer air with it. So it could be pissing down but still 20 degrees. Towards the end of the system, the winds turn southwest and it may get as cold as 14 before fining up. All through winter I wear the same clothing, shorts and T Shirts. I was going to do an urban camp at the beach but I got a bit busy and now the temps are on their way up to 41 Friday and a cooler 40 Saturday. Expect me complaining about sweating my nurries 🥎 🥎 off next week. I think some late night fishing may be the go. PS. That was a typical chaotic video that we love from you. If you ever come out here and I get to show you around, I will cook. Take care and stay safe
