Good start to the year! Your little walk reminded us of Paul Whitehouse's "Brilliant kid" sketch from the fast show, which made us chuckle. Looking forward to seeing more adventures soon.

Gorgeous views. I do wonder why they don’t do the whole drive as tarmac on some sites (Looked so muddy and easy to get stuck). Love the hat! Lodges looked nice. Lovely walk, if a bit muddy. Do love that name Rosebury Topping. Must get there! That cafe was a very long way! You did well to resist the cakes. Carvings were beautiful 🥰. Those high Viz Jackets could soon be all the rage! Food looked good. Beautiful part of the world by the looks of it. Roxy enjoyed herself too. The boards were handy! 😊👍

It was a nice site but I really don’t get why there isn’t a path / drive / gravel etc to the pitch! It was really muddy and seems all so unnecessary! Rachel & David 💕

Hi David and Rachel hope you are well and Roxy too looks like you had a really great weekend mud aside! Ironically we drove past that pub in October when we were up at my brothers on the way to ormesby hall and thought it looked nice we will definitely try it now and the site looked great and you are right what stunning views and scenery it will give anywhere in the uk a run for its money! Agree about the pitches not sure why camp sites don’t carry on the pitch to the road to avoid this issue All the best to you all and hope 2024 is being kind to you Daniel
@LeisureBit 6 ай бұрын
Thanks Daniel - we have driven past the pub so many times it was nice to have a look in and well worth a visit - what a difference behind the pub from the road side also. The pitch access addressed and it’s spot on. All the very best and happy new year - David & Rachel 👍

We didn’t have access to the metal ramps or high vis vests, as that road in the dark is hard to see as site didn’t have much lights neither. We used our torch a lot. And yeah we struggled with the mud with the car. Had to park it over by the toilets. We were there for four nights so in and out of site. But location is amazing. That walk along the old railway track is amazing.

Nice one and HNY, looked a nice site and walks - agree that access to the pitch should be on gravel/tarmac or the like and not grass - the site will have the ongoing maintenance issues and mess to keep on top of but if its new they may be trialing. Thanks

Hi Tim happy new year! Did you have a lovely time? The site was nice and the facilities excellent but they do need to sort the pitches out. Makes no sense at all. The van was filthy. We were filthy.

You must be nuts to cross that road, so busy at all times. Stopped at the pub on the way to Whitby many times, lovely. However £36 a night even with electric is expensive, especially in off season.

Hi Dave in Durham thank you for your comment. It is a busy road but when we crossed it had quietened down but I’m not sure I would risk it during the day. The pub was lovely, it was out first visit and it was better than we thought. Agree re cost - the diff to add electric was a lot. Rachel & David

Hi Phil, We had driven past the pub many times, the campsite is fairly new. We hadn’t been in the pub before so was first time. I got the habitation service done by TCM service Centre near Durham who came to me who I would recommend. For the vehicle, I took out a service plan with SG Petch in Darlington so took it there - not sure I would recommend them though - back in this week to get the Glow Plugs replaced. Hope that helps, all the best, David 👍

Hi Malcolm and Sheila, hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Yes I think it would be grand in the summer and that walk was lovely and if it didn’t get dark so early would have been lovely to explore Guisborough Forest. It was a lucky break from the rain last weekend, even then there was still showers and overnight rain. I got the hat from a local company they had a special offer on so thought I would treat myself. The lodges looked lovely didn’t they - not sure on the costs but had a great outlook. Thank you and all the very best, David & Rachel 👍

Hi David & Rachel, really enjoying your videos. We are due to be getting our first camper van in April/May and I’m trying to get my head around all the ancillary items we need. I’m just wondering if you take a small toolkit with you on your trips and what tools do you consider essential? Pete
@LeisureBit 6 ай бұрын
Hi Pete,how exciting for your first campervan - I’m sure the time will come around quickly. I carry a small.toolkit which I have some screwdrivers, an electrical test meter, pliers, adjustable wrench and various cable ties and duck tape and that sort of thing. I also carry a tow rope but keep that separate. Typically the tool you normally need you don’t have but I’ve find most things you can improvise with. I also carry cable cutters and insulation tape. I think that’s most things unless I’ve forgotten something. All the best, David 👍
@tommo9757 6 ай бұрын
Hi Pete. The tow rope is defo worth mentioning. I've lost count of the number of times I've towed someone / been towed off a boggy grass pitch. Also, I would recommend getting some grip mats if you're going to go on a lot of grass pitches. All the best, Tommo

Thank Glyn - yes it would be perfect if it had the access to the pitch without getting muddy and would mean all seasons no hassle. The jingle I got done by a chap on Fiverr, it wasn’t expensive as I had tried a few but they weren’t catchy and did my own video to it (ironically just threw that together and should update the video) All the very best, David & Rachel 👍
