@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel Hi Mike, phone signal is excellent, 3 bars of 4G which we use to stream tv. Each pitch has a tv box to plug your telly into. The walk is 45 minutes to an hour. We’ve booked to come back in August 👍 www.poppyland.com
Fantastic guide to setting up! My husband said you made it look so easy. I’m going to make a check list for us from this. Thank you so much. This site looks lovely, especially the ice creams!
Hi Sandra, ha ha! the beauty of the edit facility (we have a swear box). Poppyland is another fab Norfolk site and we will be back there this year for sure. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Dave & Helen.
I am new to your channel we have just returned to caravaning after a few years, we have just bought a 1ry old swift challenger . We live in Felixstowe so we are loving all your trips which would be local to us .
Thanks Ian. Bella is doing really well at the moment, so we’re just soldiering on. She loves the caravan and is so well behaved. As always, thanks for supporting us. Cheers, Dave & Helen 👍
Thanks for your wonderful video, Helen did a really great job of towing and reversing, glad Bella is recovering from her eye surgery, and the camp site looks like a lovely place, we went on are very first caravan park last weekend and really enjoyed it and we are looking forward to the next weekend away, and I would like to say a big thank you for all your helpful videos witch put me in good stead on are first weekend away, thanks again keep on making your videos Dave, Helen,and Bella,👍🐾.
Well thanks so much Buster. Glad you had a great first trip out in your new van and your lovely comment. We really appreciate you supporting us. Enjoy the next trip. Cheers, Dave & Helen 👍
Hi Philip, thank you. We’ve been trying to get on there this year and it’s full most of the time, so that says something! Agree, Pam & Billy are great hosts. Have a wonderful stay. ATB, Dave & Helen
Hi there, whenever I book I always phone about February or March time and never have a problem as I know if I leave it any later then I’ve no chance lol, there are other sites but for me poppylands is the best,
Great video and a lovely well looked after site Dave & Helen. We liked the little cabin with all those goodies 🍦and good prices too. Bella has found a good home with you both and we wish her all the best. Cheers, Rob & Gail
Hi Rob & Gail, that’s very kind of you to say. She’s settled with us really well, such a shame she’s lost an eye but she’s currently coping very well. Smashing little site and one we will deffo be visiting again in the future. Thanks again for dropping by and supporting. ATB Dave & Helen 👍
Hi Helen and Dave. What a lovely site. Great level pitches as well. Really hope Bella is getting better everyday 🙏 and no more operations. Love the old camper vans. Thanks for sharing. Paul and Sarah 😀
Thanks both! Had a lovely stay at Poppyland, our sort of site. Bella’s doing great and back to her old self at the mo. Those old campers are cute aren’t they 😎. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 👍
Hi Greg and thanks very much, we’ve booked a return trip and there are two cracking pubs a short walk away serving amazing food. Thanks for watching, cheers Dave & Helen 👍
Lovely guy's great memories of our caravaning days. Haha love Nth Norfolk but spent a fortnight in the North Walsham one August and it bloody rained 10 out of 14 days. Nothing changed then fellow doing the outside wife in!😆 Great vid again! 😊
Hi Paul, I must say these fab sites are especially fab when the sun shines 🌞 and yes, the pink jobs seem to be all done in 15 minutes and I’m busting my backside for about an hour 😂😂. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. ATB Dave & Helen 👍
@@HelenandDave Forgot to add, the sparkliness of your caravan was spotted by the Mrs. Washing the caravan is now my first job for tomorrow! 🙃 TOP PRIORITY!
@@CaravanningwiththeMrs Sorry if we've just given you another job! I gave the van a quick one, two with some Fenwick's and a new chamois before we left for Poppyland. 😀
Wishing Bella all the best and glad to see she is responding well. She has clearly found the best possible home with you both and obviously gives you great joy and love in return for the love and care you give her. They certainly do become an important part of the family in very short order. Poppylands has been on our radar for some time, pass it so often and will likely try and grab a weekend there before winter. We are now looking at more sites “on the doorstep”, up to an hour away from home, just to keep costs sensible and is something we will do more of next year for certain. I guess that fridge honesty box soon became full to overflowing in no time…..( maybe a good job there was no license to sell alcohol?) 😏
Thanks Mel for your kind words which are oh so true! We have enjoyed it at Poppyland and would recommend it and have to agree local private/CL sites are the way forward (although we have two more long trips this year). Spot on ref: that honesty box !!! lol. Cheers, Dave & Helen
We had an honesty box at our local roadside purveyor,,,it was jams ,eggs,and honey…somebody was helping themselves…so now you have to ring the bell to be served…
I mostly either forget to align for alko lock or end up with tyre inflation valve where lock fits once I've levelled up and legs down, I've ended up buying a milenco ACE wheel lock so much easier to fit, looks a cracking site, poor Bella hope her other eye does not end up going the same way, thanks for showing us around 👍
Hello Andrew & Karen, thanks very much for your comment. I’ve got used to thinking about the lock but it took me a while. We’re keeping everything crossed for Bella, she’s a good dog👍 Hope you’re both keeping well and who knows, our paths may cross one of these days. ATB Dave & Helen 👍
Hi both, just back from a lovely 9 days at Norfolk Broads CAMC site. What a lovely part of the country, explored the coast from Caister up to Happisburgh and found a great eatery, the Lighthouse at Walcott. Can’t wait to come back.
Hi Richard, we know the lighthouse very well, eaten there many times. Never been on the Norfolk Broads site but know the area well around Ludham & Potter Heigham. So pleased you had a great stay, Norfolk is a wonderful county. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a lovely comment. ATB Dave & Helen

hey guys, after watching you caravanners, i wondered if you'd share what you use for sat nav to get to the sites around the uk, and if you use any particular wifi in the van, cheers in advance 😀👍
Hi there and thanks for watching and leaving a comment. In terms of wifi we just stream via our phones, so obviously we are dependant upon good coverage but we have O2 unlimited data and most of the time we have good coverage. Sat Nav wise we use Aguiri. Here is a link to our Amazon Store and you can view it via 'In Car Entertainment'. Hope this helps and thanks again, Dave & Helen
What a wonderful channel Me and my other half have just bought our first caravan together, and can't wait to get out and about in it , this will be the first time towing for me but im sure I will be fine . I to have a kia sportage are they good towing cars Cheers Phil
Hi Phil, thank you so much for your kind words. Hoping you have many happy years of Caravanning. The Kia Sportage has been a fab tow car for us, we have the GTline 2.0lt AWD auto. I know a few people with the Sportage who have no problem towing with it. ATB Dave & Helen
It really is a very popular site but another you might like then is Clippesby Hall in Norfolk. Here is a link czcams.com/video/OMh3aQrn-wQ/video.html Cheers, Helen & Dave
Hi, great video. As a newbie, do you release your motor mover after you have applied your wheel lock or could that damage the wheel as the mover is released?
Thanks for watching 👀 I generally put the wheel lock on before releasing the motor mover and after I’ve put the steadies down. Never been given any direction on this myself but I do it to be sure the wheel doesn’t move before putting the lock on. Never had any issues 👍 Stay tuned, Helen & Dave
Good morning both, just booked at Poppylands in August following seeing your video, any recommendations in the area to do eat etc, we are the for 10 days just the 2 of us and Fudge our Jorkie
Good morning Ian, you won't be disappointed, we love it there and heading back next month. We visit Cromer a lot just a 10 minute drive away and just up the road is Felbrigg Hall, which is worth a visit and there are two lovely places to eat quite close by The Gunton Arms (a deer farm) and a Tapas restaurant called The Suffield arms. There is a little train station nearby so if you want to get the train to Norwich or Sheringham on the coast you can. Have a great stay. Helen & Dave
Good video 👍
Thanks David 👍
Stayed here last September. Wouldn’t hesitate revisiting, lovely place. Idillic, calm, quiet, place of tranquillity. Friendly owners
