Thank you, decathlon have some great bikes, we were in France recently and so many people ride their bikes. That's a great price for folding bikes too 😁👍🏼

Hello 👋🏼 yes it would be fine unless you are looking for an electric bike. This one has enough gears for hills and is very lightweight as the frame is aluminium so would be a good choice 😁👍🏼

Oh wow that's great you found it, so many places you could have lost it in the vans. Hope you had a great trip 🥰

Oh wow, we can imagine how cold it could get in there from our visit 😬 Shrewsbury is great for camping, lots of choices for stay, thank you and hope you enjoy when you visit again too 🥰

Hello Richard, it was called Cote De Nacre in Saint-Aubin Sur Mer, it's part of the Sandaya Group in France and a great location for exploring the British and Canadian landing beaches. It's currently closed (we tried to book for June this year) but is due to reopen in July following a refurb 👍🏼

Ha ha that's a great reason love that David 😂 Caroline isn't keen on them either so next time will give her the camera 📸😂👍🏼 A sock for a tandem is a great idea, maybe you could develop one although not sure it would fit in our campervan, you might need a big A Class 😁 Thanks for watching and hope you are both doing well 🥰 (plus the dogs of course 🐶❤️)

Aw thank you for letting us know, that's brilliant and so pleased you liked it too, it has to be one of our favourite bike rides so far on our adventures 🥰 hope the weather is good for you too, enjoy your trip 😁

@@VantasticAdventures the day after we had our folding ebikes stolen 🙈🙈 😪😪 secured by motorbike lock outside the ticket booth for river boat..devastated

@@andrewlawrence9076 oh no that's awful, so sorry to hear that 😕 sounds like you took all the right precautions too, a motorcycle lock doesn't come off easily. I really hope the police find them for you, it seemed such a lovely safe place but I suppose that's attractive to the criminals.

Thank you 🥰 we found a low heat was perfect

Ha ha 😂 this one was purely for research purposes, it was recommended by everyone we spoke to, honest 😂😂😂 all good thanks hope you are too 🥰

Thank you, glad you found the video useful 🥰 The bike is still great and we are taking it to France tomorrow. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😁

That's a really good idea and definitely cheaper than the Velosock 😂👍🏼 Thank you, a useful backup too in case we ever need when on the road 🥰

That's a good idea, it's useful carrying them inside sometimes isn't it? 🥰 Have a lovely weekend both and enjoy your amazing trip 😁

The viewers were getting withdrawal symptoms apparently 😂👍🏼🥰

Wow that's brilliant! We haven't been to Spain yet in the van but that's planned for 2025 so will take a look at the park ups, great way to travel especially over a month 🥰 thank you have a lovely weekend

Ha ha 😂 he was actually there on the campsite which was a surprise in the morning opening the van door, complete with a bow and arrow plus a horn to call his merry men, no sign of maid Marion though 😂👍🏼

@@VantasticAdventures hahah brilliant. You have your own maid Marion!

Aw thank you that's very kind,.pleased you are enjoying our channel 🥰

@@VantasticAdventures we are in Germany (in the mh) at the moment, this afternoon we visited Colditz Castle. So interesting. Have a good weekend.

@@paulreyland9671 oh wow that sounds amazing!! 🤩 It's on our list, any tips would be very welcome, enjoy the rest of your trip 🥰

Thank you it's a great site definitely one Mia would enjoy too 🥰

Aw thank you that's very nice of you to say 🥰 Glad you are enjoying the channel and we have lots more travel plans so can't wait to get back out 😄

Thank you 🥰

Thank you that sounds perfect! Beer sounds good too, can't beat a good recommendation 😁 Dog beaches are hard to find so that's great - thank you 🥰

Thank you, we were very lucky with the weather in the end compared to the forecast 😁👍🏼 Mollie would have definitely loved this one, we will return and she will be back soon 🥰

Thank you, one of our favourite campsites already so will definitely return 🥰

Ha ha thank you sorry we haven't shown that still 😂 Currently a debate on where it goes but we have bought the wall fixings so should be coming soon.... 🥰

Ha ha that was discussed here too, do we really need to buy a cover when we could just use and old sheet 😂👍🏼 Iain is a magpie though and collects things 😂 your trip sounds perfect! Barnard Castle is lovely, Iain used to live there but we haven't been back in the van so will check out the site, thank you 🥰

Thank you 😁

Thank you, we did the windows again for this year at the end of April and during the hot may bank holiday weather all windows opened perfectly without sticking and importantly didn't leak during the heavy bank holiday rain either 😂👍🏼

Hello 👋🏼 we actually crossed via the train to Calais so stayed near Ashford

Yes you are spot on, not too challenging so good for beginners especially for a first red but a nice flow 🥰👍🏼 Will definitely return with Mollie, she would absolutely love it

Ha ha 😂 if you mean in stature it's Iain's shoes 👟😂 if in temper she had to work during part of the trip hence the laptop on the journey there (plus not sure the "bike in the kitchen" helped 😂) - she has promised to be normal next time 😂👍🏼🥰

Thank you 🥰 definitely one your little ones would love as a lovely playground on site and in the forest plus Bentley would love the forest trails too 🐶

Ha ha 😂 too scared to say 😂😂😂

Thank you 🥰 it was great to be back out

Thank you 🥰 switched back to the big camera and used a mini tripod so thank you, really appreciate the feedback 👍🏼🥰

Oh no! Hope you were okay 🥰 we missed that, will have to go back as we read about it but didn't manage to see it 👍🏼😁

You are spot on, despite being busy so much room and easy to escape into the forest and not see anyone on your own trails, really worth a visit 🥰

Oh wow we didn't realise they opened all year round, that's excellent 👌🏼 thank you 🥰

Thank you 🥰 that sounds perfect very much appreciated 👍🏼

Thank you 🥰 thanks for the tip, we had a quick look on their website and they look great! Will check them out in more detail, thank you 😁

Yep you are absolutely right 😂👍🏼 We didn't use the footage of putting it up as we had a fight, it's actually quite easy so will try and feature in a future video when next away - thanks for your feedback very much appreciated ☺️

Thank you, we didn't realise they are so much easier to use! 🥰👍🏼

Thank you 🥰 great to be back out, just missing Mollie but the Border Collie pups were a good substitute 🐶🐶🐶

Those puppies were adorable 😍

Thank you so much! Wasn't aware of that one and sounds perfect for us, will add to our list as not too far for a weekend either 🥰 thank you

Thank you both 🥰 completely agree on the camera, we said the same thing watching it back, we used an older camera for this trip as didn't expect to be filming so much and the stability isn't as good so will retire that one for tripod use only and stick to the posh one 😂 thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, very much appreciated 🥰👍🏼

Thank you, definitely a great stop and so much to explore 🥰

Cheers 🍻🥰

Thank you that's very kind 🥰

Thank you, we didn't realise they had these 🥰 make such a difference, someone suggested tin foil as an alternative too 👍🏼

Thank you 🥰 really sorry we can't remember what it was called and it's been deleted from the music service now too, even tried to Shazam it but no joy 😂

Oh no, it’s such a catchy tune, i tried shazam too but no luck, thanks for getting back to me 😊
