I’m not surprised that site’s quiet! No one can find it!😂 Great video, glad you’ve found your way out.

@MotoringMatilda Ай бұрын

Wow, that all looked very complicated! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay though :). Just need some Benny Hill music now ;). Ian

getting lost i loved Jenny's comment you must really want to get here,that place was so hard to find .nice trip tho you have as many roadworks as us.

Hi Bob and Jenny a great video as ever and well done on getting through the maze that is the area around Lichfield at the moment I can’t believe how it’s changed now I worked there post m6 toll but pre HS2 and it was straightforward to get round then but looks barmy now and they’ve cut through the old road system It will be great when HS2 is finished if it ever is Looks a lovely place where you stayed I worked for Lichfield Council and we used to cover the area where you are It’s lovely out that way and some lovely spots such as hopwas and kings Bromley Yes the famous cappers lane remember it well! Glad you have reached Somers wood safely and have a great time all the best Daniel

That’s the best 120k miles arrival yet Bob. 😂

If you come to Litchfield again just stay on the A38, it’s so much easier. Welcome to roadworks in the Midlands, lots of fun and frustration. You nearly went past my house, you could have had a cuppa. The Plough pub is very nice, food is delicious.

It must be a nightmare for people living there!

@RobandLynnontour Ай бұрын

Can’t believe we have actually been to a site before you, luckily for us it was before HS2 roadworks started there, we stayed on the campsite on the right as you drove in, and yes….. we didn’t find the pub either 😂😂

You've a lot more patience than me. I'd have given up and gone to Somers Wood! 👍

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

We nearly did!

@gallivantinggalantes Ай бұрын

Hi Bob and Jenny and Poppy, Oh my word what a nightmare, so pleased you found your way eventually. Its a lovely CL though enjoyed the walks. I bet you were pleased when you arrived at Somerswood, take care x Julie and Tony x

We were quite pleased when we finally found this CL 😁

The site looks lovely

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

It was really nice with the marina and canal. I'd go back when they've finished HS2! 😁

@mickgreen9310 Ай бұрын

Love the map intro

@richardspeight9520 Ай бұрын

Nice driving bob

@grapesodatravels Ай бұрын

We find Google maps is best during roadworks, etc. It's supposed to be kept very up to date. What a pickle! Interesting looking site. How lovely to be able to stroll along the canal. One day, we'd like to try a narrowboat holiday.

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

We did use Google maps in the end.

@teedee3765 Ай бұрын

Hi bob , if you enjoy staying at a marina take a look at overwater marina audlem Cheshire . Campsite and cl , great facilities , cafe on site , great walk to the village along the tow path . At the weekend there’s a little shuttle boat that will take you to the village . You can also walk around the marina and see the boats . They even have day boats for hire .

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

That sounds good, thank you

@123penfold Ай бұрын

Think you and the van where getting exasperated with the A38 .

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

Yes, but more annoyed that the road closed sign didn't show access to that lane was possible.

@gooney71 Ай бұрын

Definitely should have had the theme music to benny hill..... 😂

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

Yes thought about that, then viewers would say they can't hear us talking. 😏

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

I've put it on Tik Tok to the Benny Hill theme. Thanks for the suggestion! 😁

I would have lost it a long way back and just gone home.

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

We were tempted to go to Somers,Wood instead!

@Bossstangs197 Ай бұрын

Are you going to go for the full air suspension or just the rear.Ive gone for the factory fitted self levelling at Swift,but the air suspension was the front and rear which was 8 grand.So will be looking at just getting the rear done.So looking forward to see who you get to do your,s done by.

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

We're going to get front and rear. We'll be making an update video soon.

You didn’t go Gongoozling? This is best part on this site!

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

We were only there for one night and exhausted after the journey there! 😊👍

Hi great blogs , but why don't you have a map, satnavs are so troublesome just asking ,,

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

Not sure how a map would have helped here, all the roads have been changed.

@iangiles7038 Ай бұрын

If you turn left when you come out of the site it takes you straight onto the A38

@BobEarnshawMoHo Ай бұрын

That was closed, because we couldn't turn off the A38 to get to the site.

@caveman3474 Ай бұрын

What a nightmare. Road looks horrendous. It’s never good getting lost as when u arrive you are all stressed. Not one site I will ever visit given the access.
