We go every year Steve, it’s no problem at all, everything is pretty well signed out and the ground staff are helpful, we have used Dover and Poole and I’d say they’re both similar. Driving in France is also a lot less stressful than this side, especially if you pick a site like this one that is literally 5 minutes from the motorway

It was only when you went into town that I realised we stayed at this campsite last year, it looks a lot different with yellow grass, it was very green in September and we had three days of solid rain!! I think the campsite is owned by an English and American couple I think, we stayed in the serviced pitches and the view is brilliant, we also had a laugh at the Pizza vending machine, I believe they’re looking at machines that vend cheese as well. We got back from Vendee a couple of weeks ago and am already missing the weather and scenery, we are looking at two weeks in Spain in the caravan next year. Hope you’re having a great time 👍

Good to see you made it Martin and good plan going from Poole and missing all the Dover hassle. Agree with the “buy it cos u need it” comments - must be a lot of Cadacs and pizza ovens kicking around garages and sheds . Enjoyed the vlog and look forward to continuation. H 👍🏻

Hi Howard, Good to be back over here, but only here due to booking before Covid, I could have stayed in the UK. I’ve been thinking a lot about the ‘buy it cos u need it’ or think you do and never use it! I sense a vlog coming. Take care, Martin

@@TheCaravanNut good idea Martin , but how many blokes are going to admit to impulse purchases?. Or even VLOG influenced useless buys 🤣! I’ve probably got stuff we bought in the time between buying our first van and picking it up - the “We’re going to need ….” period . At least we’re glad we bought the same canopy as you and feel the full awning will be making its way onto Gumtree some time soon ! You could run a survey /poll for people to list stuff they thought would be great idea then consigned them to the garage/shed/spare bedroom etc. example:- Those ( well known company) fork /spoon/25 in 1 eating implements….. I mean ..I’ve made it from high chair to pension using a knife and fork so…..

I feel the same as the previous comment but might give it a go next year. Can you give an approximate cost travelling from the north west.

@TheCaravanNut 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not cheap! Obviously fuel getting to the port and ferry can cost a bit. So far we’ve spent £160 on fuel, ferry was £700ish, sites 1k then there’s food and all the other stuff on top. You can do it much cheaper buy choosing smaller sites. Would we do it again? Probably not to be fair. Cheers

@davidmatthews3093 4 ай бұрын

Is a towing cover that ridiculous bit of fabric that people put over the front of the caravan? Is there supposed to be any point to it or is it simply a fashion item?

@TheCaravanNut 4 ай бұрын

Personal preference, it keeps the front of the van clean and reduces possible stone chips on the front windows.
