Hi Bob, jenny, poppy & Tara, it looks very nice there, I think its so lovely that you can travel anywhere around beautiful great Britain. You both make me laugh when you joke with each other. I'm glad Tara is ok, bless I love those 2 pickles. Have a lovely time all of you, lots of love Linda xx
Hi Bob and Jenny! Great video as always! So pleased to hear you say “that’s s a nice Hymer “ at 0.45 seconds on as you left Berwick! That’s our first motor home which we bought last year so we have been watching your videos since then as you give such helpful advice! I spotted Jenny as we were packing up to leave about 10 minutes after you guys! My husband Martyn didn’t believe me till we watched this video! He was chuffed by your appreciation of out lovely Hymer which we adore! Keep up the great work! X
Looks a nice site jenny and bob thankyou for the video we have just got back from ferry meadows anther nice site which we hope to visit again poppys so cute when she gets excited arriving at the sites happy travelling
My favourite time of year to travel, before it gets hot. Love the lushness of green fields and trees. Sorry it was overcast and rainy for you. So glad it cleared, delightful! x 🌄
We love Grafham Water Club Site and have been a couple of times. I seem to remember last time we went Sue walked me and the dogs all the way round the reservoir (ten miles) and we found a pub at the half way point. Not sure that I could do that walk now. It's a long way from Berwick to Suffolk as I think you found the great north road seems to go on for ever. :) Trev
Hi Bob,Jenny and pups, a lovely site, love little Poppy when she starts to squeal as you arrive. A long drive down to Grafham water, glad the weather. Brightened up for you x
Funny how Poppy always knows when you have arrived at the site. I hope you find fuel at a good price. So glad Tara is ok. What a lovely site and thanks for showing the service pitch, I’ve never been to a site that has had one.
Just watching this vlog and you will be pleased to know Hertford site are upgrading their service piont which will be along side the first toilet block. Good vlog btw. We have yet to visit Graffham but quite fancy the smaller site next door. Safe journeys
Wow that was a good long journey down Bob ! Glad the weather perked up for you, looks much better in the sunshine! Thanks for the info on the service pitch, appreciated that. Glad to see Tara is ok . Looks a lovely peaceful site, it would be handy for us to visit our friend down there . Did see online you had met up with others at the rally, hope it was good. You must both be exhausted ! Thanks again for all the interesting info ! X
Well done on all the vlogs you have been putting out this last week they have been very good. Poppy was in a hurry to check her " wee-mails " when you got there !!!
Hi Bob and Jenny not forgetting Poppy and Tara, we stayed there for 4 nights last October pitched by the wooden bridge. Did you see the resident giant owl, it perched in the tree right beside us every afternoon drawing large crowds.
Interesting, over here in Queensland service pitches are the norm on the larger sites. The ones with swimming pools etc., usually, there is a central point servicing 4 pitches with electricity water & a grey water drain. Caravans & motorhomes are fitted with a mains water connection. I've never seen an aqua roll, they are available. Frequently the setup is a gravel pad for the caravan, a concrete slab for the annex & a dirt/grass area for the tow vehicle. Cost about $50 out of school holidays. Showgrounds in country towns are great value often a powered site is $20 & they have amenity blocks. They are normally run by the local council & designed to get people staying over & spending a bit of cash in town. There are also quite a few free sites & deals like buying a meal in the pub gets you free camping. And our weather has been no better than yours this year.
We got the rain on Sunday night at our park then all the way home over the pennines with thunder. I jumped ahead of videos and heard Tara was not well? hope all is good now, i will see when i catch up best wishes to you all
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Lucky you caught it, i had one last year between my fingers after i had been sat on the grass, first i thought it was chocolate has i had a kit kat, lucky some girl had tweezers i am like it don't matter if it hurts just pull it all out
Bob & Jenny it looks a terrific site and I like the way Poppy always let's you know that you have arrived. I'm glad too that Tara seems to have recovered from her tick incident. Bob do you know if it's possible to purchase a fly fishing day ticket for the reservoir from the club site reception?
Hi Bob, while we were away at carsington waters last week, the warden told us that all CMC sites were moving to the two peg pitch system. Have you heard about this? We had a fabulous week at carsington, didn't want to leave.
another great video bob and jenny we all have are funny moments bob saying your in funny mood really nice to see this side of you. Hope you have finished editing your videos. I can imagine how much time this can take stay safe all of you safe journey from Rolf Marivel Baby Ayesha Chance staffi x
Hi Bob and Jenny looking like your having a brilliant time sites up to now look fine. Just a question related to your trip to Black Horse farm club site ferry pitch. I am leaving from M62 Merseyside is it better going M6 toll then over Dartford bridge. What would you say the better route, be grateful for advice. Many thanks keep the videos coming 👍
Both times we have been to Black Horse Farm our route has been M62/M6/M6 Toll/ A14 to the A1 for an overnight stop at Ashwell. The next day we went A1/M25/Dartford Crossing to M20 and then Black Horse Farm.
Thanks for getting back most helpful ,have the Tom Tom go camper so should not take me down any narrow lanes hopefully especially when we get to France
Bob. Just wondering why you don't use a mains fed water connection. Instead of water barrel. When I had my caravan on seasonal pitch up till last Yr. I had mains feed for approx 6yrs. So much easier. No cleaning of barrel ever. I just used to turn off when going home. You also don't need to switch van pump on. Not as much pressure. But useful at night if partner in bed. Say filling kettle in morning for a cuppa. No pump noise. On arrival I always ran water for 20 mins or so
Motorhomes have a fresh water tank unlike caravans and have to use a pump to pump water to the taps. Using the system I was using, I can fill the fresh water tank without going outside or moving an Aquaroll or a Motorhome
Hi guys love your content, what I am curious about are your diesel prices you quoted,, those prices are per gallon, if so you are very lucky, our diesel prices are around $A2.00 per litre which would make it about $A8.80 a gallon. All the best from Melbourne Australia
Why does a modern Motorhome need an aqua roll and in some cases a grey water roll or a serviced pitch? It is not just extra faff and equipment to carry? What is the capacity of the few tank and grey water tank? Can it last a day or two? I’m aware, from looking at other vans in caravan parks, that some MH owners still have to do the “caravaners rail pilgrimage” with their aqua roll to the water point, another roll to grey water point then emptying the toilet cassette … whilst I’m sitting with my feet up, enjoying my breakfast and catching up on my favourite CZcams channels! To me that more like “motorised caravanning” than a modern Motorhome experience as usually they are able to last 3-4 days on site or wild camping with out taking on water or disposing of grey water until reaching a disposal point. Finally, how does the Ford chassis, engine and gearbox compare with the Fiat you are more used to? Safe journeys, keep clogging!
We've been using the shower in the motorhome each morning and we're not moving the motorhome, so it's less Faff to use an Aquaroll than keep packing up and moving the motorhome.
I don't think the Grafham site in Sussex would be a good idea, it's covered with trees & I think Poppy would take umbrage with that 😁. Glad Tara is now ok, Tick's are nasty & can spread Lyme's disease, but I think they have to be attached for quite a long time.
Wow long journey. The sites looks great . Poppy always knows when have arrived on site x

Glad Tara is ok now 💟
Another very informative vlog guys, thank you for sharing. We love your two fur babies, Poppy and Tara. That was a long old drive. Stay safe guys.
Funny how Poppy always knows when you have arrived at the site. I hope you find fuel at a good price. So glad Tara is ok. What a lovely site and thanks for showing the service pitch, I’ve never been to a site that has had one.
That was a big drive. Look after yourselves. Take care Gill

That's interesting, some of our councils seem to actually want to turn motorhomes away!

Tara got a tick on Lindisfarne, she's fine now.

@@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting ouch, good to get it out quickly.
Wow that was a long journey! X
Yes, wasn't too bad though
I cycled around Grafham water on Sunday as it's about 20 miles from home. Hope you enjoy the stay and thanks for sharing. 👌👌
It was a nice ride round I seem to remember.
Bob & Jenny it looks a terrific site and I like the way Poppy always let's you know that you have arrived. I'm glad too that Tara seems to have recovered from her tick incident. Bob do you know if it's possible to purchase a fly fishing day ticket for the reservoir from the club site reception?
Sorry I don't know about the fishing.
Hi Bob, while we were away at carsington waters last week, the warden told us that all CMC sites were moving to the two peg pitch system. Have you heard about this? We had a fabulous week at carsington, didn't want to leave.
Yes, we're on a 'two peg' site now. Makes it easier to line up, just aim to get in between two pegs.
another great video bob and jenny we all have are funny moments bob saying your in funny mood really nice to see this side of you. Hope you have finished editing your videos. I can imagine how much time this can take stay safe all of you safe journey from Rolf Marivel Baby Ayesha Chance staffi x
One big video to film and edit yet...
Nice video....how long a walk from the campsite to the edge of Grafham Water?
Also are there any pubs within walking distance?
About 10-15 minutes across the field opposite to the water. There is a pub off one the roads but we didn't go, so don't know how far.

Regarding the stop start on the motorhome,you either like or you don’t ,but if you don’t like it as I don’t,you can turn it off.
Graham
I'm with you Graham, I don't like the stop, start system either and turn mine off when I remember.

Were you really at Scotch Corner Services? Caravans aren’t allowed there as I recently discovered.
We must have missed that sign! We parked outside Greggs.
I live close to Grafham water, I have cycled round it a few times

Fuel prices here are in litres, so £1.80 a litre or £8.18 a gallon, or $A14.56.
I'm sure you can buy coffee bags now so as not to miss out 😁😁
We never found coffee bags strong enough!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo The taylors ones aren't too bad, they do a strength 6 now.
@@TimmysFavs might try them then.
Bob always wondered what bread Tara is ? Enjoyed the vid cheers.
She's a Cavaschon.
