Thanks for watching!
I’m not surprised that site’s quiet! No one can find it!😂 Great video, glad you’ve found your way out.
Wow, that all looked very complicated! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay though :). Just need some Benny Hill music now ;). Ian
Congratulations on finding your way!
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.
That’s the best 120k miles arrival yet Bob. 😂
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 😂😂
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!
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
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 😁
Glad I wasn't driving Bob!!I'm confused even now.Safe travels.See you on the next.
You've a lot more patience than me. I'd have given up and gone to Somers Wood! 👍
We nearly did!
We know the area well and we still got lost.
well done you really need to visit bridgehouse marina near garstang lovely marina and facilities are out of this world .
Fantastic Video. Well Done.
Love the map intro
Fantastic video♥️
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.
We did use Google maps in the end.
The site looks lovely
It was really nice with the marina and canal. I'd go back when they've finished HS2! 😁
Definitely should have had the theme music to benny hill..... 😂
Yes thought about that, then viewers would say they can't hear us talking. 😏
I've put it on Tik Tok to the Benny Hill theme. Thanks for the suggestion! 😁
I can't even see the sun 😂
Nice driving bob
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 .
That sounds good, thank you
Think you and the van where getting exasperated with the A38 .
Yes, but more annoyed that the road closed sign didn't show access to that lane was possible.
I would have lost it a long way back and just gone home.
We were tempted to go to Somers,Wood instead!
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.
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!
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 ,,
Not sure how a map would have helped here, all the roads have been changed.
If you turn left when you come out of the site it takes you straight onto the A38
That was closed, because we couldn't turn off the A38 to get to the site.
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.
Maybe could've phoned site for guidance ?
I did, she couldn't help!
Ridiculous not to have diversion route and signs
Oh there were diversion signs everywhere, but no sign saying road closed access to the Plough only....
