Road Tripping favourites Charlie Ross and Izzie Balmer start their antiques hunt in the bucolic Cotswold town of Stow-on-the-Wold. They’re pointing their 1960s classic car to Wales via Gloucestershire in the hunt for profit-making collectables. Charlie’s campaign for brown furniture is momentarily put on hold when he picks up a military first aid kit for a quite intimate area. Can he secure it for a rock-bottom price? Izzie’s eclectic mix of buys include a toast rack and a tutti-frutti bowl. Izzie detours from the shops to head to the oldest Welsh mountain pony stud in the world to discover the incredible history of one of Wales’s native breeds. Meanwhile, Charlie finds himself in Cirencester unlocking the city’s fascinating past at the centre of the Roman Empire. The story is right beneath his feet! A nail-biting auction in Cardiff concludes this first leg, and an unexpected big profit puts one Tripper firmly in the lead.
