      Thanks Gill. Yes was plenty to do in the area - and the coast line isn’t as well explored as others I find.
      All the best, David & Rachel 👍

      Thank you - It’s a lovely ride through beautiful countryside, another one which brings back fond memories from when I think I was single digits of days out with the family. It was great to revisit and loved the journey along the line. The food in the pub was great and it had a nice atmosphere about it (certainly over the lunchtime we were there). Fascinating watching them turn the train around. All the best to you both and Maya and Luna, David & Rachel ❤️

    Great Railway there David & Rachel, I had to survey the Ravenglass end about 3 years ago, A66 Cafe you must have been heading east then, huge chicken sheds opposite there now. Cheers K.

      @LeisureBit  Před rokem +1

      It’s a lovely little railway - a bit different with it being smaller - interesting that you had to survey the Ravenglass end.
      Yes that’s right it was on the way back we called at the A66 cafe - remember when it was the Little Chef?
      All the best, David & Rachel 👍

      Thanks Trev, was great to take a ride on the train as it had been many, many years since I last went on the Ravenglass railway. Can’t beat it can you 😀
      We we’re closer than you think on Saturday afternoon/Sunday Morning at Troutbeck Head (we were at the other end of the site by the beck - you were out when we went past or would have said hello 😀)

    Lovely stop, really enjoyed this one thank you, the railway and cafe etc. looked fab ❤ Also the coast there is so unspoiled and usually quieter too, we haven’t yet been in our van but will add to the list now 👍 Great fun in the water too plus so well behaved in the pub 🐶 We made Mollie watch for tips 😁

    • @LeisureBit
      @LeisureBit  Před rokem +1

      Thank you - the coast is great on the west coast isn’t it and rarely is it too busy also. Definitely recommend, and well worth a trip on the train - I last went on when I was a young lad so was quite nostalgic to go back. Lovely countryside too. Roxy has her moments but generally is pretty good unless she gets spooked with something - hopefully Mollie didn’t pick up any bad habits! Have a good rest of the week and weekend. All the best, David & Rachel. Roxy says hello to Mollie too! 🐾

    Hi David & Rachel nice to see the weather was better than when you were in Maryport such a little gem of a place Ravenglass is especially in the summer months car parks soon fill up
    Myself and Sheila often go down and watch the world go by
    The railway is also known as La'al ratty La'al In cumbrian means small
    The cafe on the A66 used to be a Little Chef along time ago Remember them
    All the best keep up the great vids

      Hi Malcolm and Sheila, yes the weather had improved some what after Maryport which was great. We stopped at Tesco in Workington on Monday on the way back to Silloth 😀
      Great to know what La’al means - thank you.
      I remember when the cafe on the A66 was the Little Chef 👩‍🍳

    Can’t say I’ve heard of this line but that said I don’t do narrow gauge lines, the only one I’ve done is the Ffestiniog in Porthmadog, I hope you don’t mind a tiny critique here but that same song you’re using in every vlog recently is getting really repetitive now…
    Campsite looked like it was just the job tho.
    What happened to the ending?
    Soooo Rachel what did you think of……

    • @LeisureBit
      @LeisureBit  Před rokem +1

      Ah the ending - we are not sure what happened to the ending and then decided not to record a replacement ending. Should be back to normal going forward so long as the ending gremlin doesn’t strike again! 👻
      Ref music - I got flack for too much variation in the music so did some research and it advised more consistency. The particular music we’ve been using we both thought represented some of our story so kind of conscious decision to be more consistent and less “random”. Appreciate your feedback though as always will have a ponder 🤔
      All the best, David 👍

      Out of interest is it the intro track or the backing instrumental track repeating (or both)?
      It would be great if CZcams allowed you to have optional music track so you could switch off the music if you didn’t want it - could even have a more or less jazzy option 🤔
