Hello, in my previous digital voice telephone video I received a lot of comments regarding battery backup and not being able to make urgent telephone calls during a power outage. We don’t live in an area that suffers power outages and we have a decent mobile signal. So you are correct in saying we don’t really need battery backup. However, in the event of a power cut and power loss to our local mobile phone mast, our one corded desk phone that’s plugged into the BT Router will effectively give us several hours of telephone backup. Presuming the telephone exchange has backup (otherwise what’s the point of them selling us backup), I would also have internet access. Although I only purchased these backups to conduct battery backup timings for my video, they are a safety net. Thanks for watching. Cheers Rob 👍

Hello Alfie, imagine you had great adventures there staying as a youngster. Lots to explore, see and do 👍. Lovely holiday park. We had a fabulous time and couldn’t have asked for better weather. Thanks very much for watching. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Thanks for the tip Jack. The BT website states BT broadband is becoming EE broadband. I shall stay with BT for as long as possible. Cheers, Rob 👍

Thanks for watching Pete. Strange how they charge £84.99 for one and the same price if you have two. One for ONT and one for hub? By the way I’ve double checked the instructions and word for word it states: ‘Every minute the alarm beeps four times’. This is exactly what happened when I was timing it. Thanks again. Cheers Rob 👍

Ah well can’t win ‘em all Howard. Thanks for watching though, Rob & Gail

Thanks for watching one of our other site videos Emily. And, thanks for spreading the word on Goodleigh Hill 👍. It’s great to know some of your guests already know of us. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Really sorry to hear about your illness and operation John. Hope things go well for you and hopefully back on the open road soon. Hope our video brought some happy memories back for you and Sheila 👍. Best wishes and kind regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you for your comments It’s will be a very slow process

Thanks for your compliment Finlay. We do have cordless phones but the one in the thumbnail is a corded desk phone. This is plugged into the wall phone socket. The phone socket extensions are wired back to the phone socket on the back of the hub. So it should work with the battery back up. I show the wiring of the phone socket in my other video. There is a link to it at the end of this video. Cheers Rob 👍

@ Ok, thank you for the clarification :)

Hi Vince, yours is the third comment from folk living nearby, it’s a small world as they say. Really enjoyed exploring your neck of the woods and yes, no doubt we’ll be back one day 👍. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Well Brads we must be doing a good job 😂. Seriously this is one beautiful site with great spacious pitches. Thanks again for your support and comments 👍. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Good to hear you may well follow in our footsteps, it’s a great site 👍. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Hello Andrew, We’ve never explored the Fenland area before and Delph Bank was a great base 👍. Thanks as always for watching. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi David, I had the Omnivent fitted by the dealer when we purchased the caravan new. They wired it to the lighting circuit which I couldn’t understand and was dismayed with. This is one of my early videos and I didn’t like to point this out. It’s a better feeling knowing I’ve wired it correctly. I did another video a year later and rewired it with the dedicated roof fan wiring harness. I don’t understand why Bailey don’t offer Omnivent as an option like some other manufacturers do. Thanks for watching and take care, Rob 👍

Hi Colin, Great holiday, we enjoyed it here. No doubt you spotted your handiwork work between the maps 😂. Good railway history too eh. Take care, Rob & Gail 😀

Hello John, A breakfast van was never mentioned so I guess the new owners are doing it a bit different. We’re pleased you enjoyed our video again 👍. Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Well I never Glenn 😁. Good job it got the ‘wise way’ touch 😂. Hope you’re enjoying it there as much as we did and of course it’s award winning fish & chip Friday 👍. Enjoy the rest of your stay and thanks for letting us know how much you enjoy our videos, that’s great. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Chris, Thanks very much for your comprehensive reply and compliment 👍. Gail has caused quite a stir with those curtains 😂 . You’re so right regarding the UPS. I wonder, with FTTP if there is any requirement for a UPS in the cabinets, as I suspect the fibre would run straight to the exchange. I would hope the exchanges have UPS systems as before with the old copper lines. Coupled with the end users UPS, both ends would be active. Ha the Cat 7. I didn’t need this but wanted the experience of installing S/FTP cable. I purchased the termination tools, reasonably priced I must say. All via an electrical wholesaler who ordered Nexans cable, wall jacks and tools. I have CCTV powered by POE which is another reason I wanted a better cable. Same as you, I also have network cables ducted underground to the outbuildings. Thanks again for watching and commenting 👍. Cheers Rob

It’s always good to hear from locals. Hope we got our facts and pronunciations right 😁 . We had a marvelous time exploring and it got the thumbs up from us, we really enjoyed it. Thanks for dropping by and for commenting 👍. best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Thanks very much Lang and Sara, you’re most welcome 👍. Actually I’m a cider man myself and Gail couldn’t drink the lager being gluten intolerant but we did enjoy the cider 🍺. Thank you for your comment and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Thanks for watching Steve. Hope you’re keeping well and busy. Another good holiday under our belts. This TH-cam lark certainly keeps us busy and in touch too. Thanks for dropping by 👍. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

You’re welcome Michael 👍. It probably is worth trying the EcoCamel. Worth reading my reply to mikewykes comment regarding the shower head. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

@@robswiseways5697 yeah I’ve seen that and I noticed the same leakage on yours but I reckon your right about the air induction and the relative lack of water pressure. I still think the direct water connector into the van includes an over protective pressure reducer. I get the point about not wanting internal leaks but when all said and done nearly all new plumbing installations in our homes also use push fit connections and no one seems to worry about leaks in their houses? In my case I reckon the direct system delivers less flow rate than the external pump which is just plain ridiculous. Thanks again for your input. It helps to have a second opinion.

Thanks for your info Chandresh. I’m not a ICT expert, but you’re right about the hub ports not being grounded. I mentioned in the video when using S/FTP cable it should be properly grounded. My network is indeed grounded to an earth rod and it should still help prevent Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) and where I have network cables bundled, Alien Crosstalk. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Rob 👍

Thanks for watching and spotting our shower, Mike. The leaking water you see is actually dripping from the air intake hole of the ecocamel jetstorm shower head. The website states ‘its inbuilt Aircore Technology injects air directly into the shower head water stream’. Saying that I might try it in the house to see if it drips in there. Might be due to lower pressure in the caravan. All the best to you and thanks for your encouragement 👍. Rob & Gail 😀

Hi David, Yes, full fibre vs full serviced 😁. No spiel needed to swing my decision to go FF ! We remember the slow speeds too with dial up internet. Good luck with the installation, hope all goes well. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Rob 👍

Hi Andy, nice of you to drop by again. We were surprised to find the churches locked. A shame, but guess it’s a sign of the times. As you say, the gardens were nice and well worth seeing. Best regards 👍, Rob & Gail 😀

Many thanks Teresa. We were most impressed with this beautiful spacious site and can understand why you visit often with your family 👍. It’s certainly a top site and we didn’t want to come home. We had a memorable time there. Thanks for your comment. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Hello there, so lovely to hear from you all and trust you are well 👍. We are pleased to know you are still following us after meeting you in the summer. We’ve never been to this area before and were amazed to see all the Fenland ditches. We had a great time seeking out all the places of interest and it made a lovely change. Thanks for your words of encouragement 👍. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Thanks for your comment. I agree about back ups with 240v sockets. However, I have a corded desk phone plugged into the wall phone socket. The phone extension socket system is plugged into the phone socket on the back of the hub. I show this in my previous video (link at end of this video). I only purchased these dedicated BT battery backups for the purpose of the video as we never suffer from power cuts. Thanks for watching. Cheers Rob 👍

Most kind of you to say so Yvonne. Thank you for your support this year too 👍. What great October weather we had for showing off this lovely site and area. Take care and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀

So lovely to be appreciated Lynn. Thank you very much 👍. We really enjoyed our stay here. The site and area were a pleasure to film and share. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Glad you enjoyed watching Ian. We are pleased we booked this site. It’s been on our ‘to do’ list for a while and it didn’t disappoint 👍. Great area to explore too. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Pleased you tuned in Stewart 👍. It’s good to know we got your thumbs up approval of our review. Yes unfortunately we missed out on your award winning fish & chips which was a shame. We wish you the best of luck though with your future club house lounge with its large screen tv and thanks for a great stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi there Shaun and Sally, thanks for joining us on our October break 👍. Hope you’re still enjoying your caravan adventures too. Ah, it’s a tempting offer Shaun to swap my car, but I will hang on to it for the time being. Thanks for thinking of me though. Take care both and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

We were nearly neighbours Lily & Bruce 😀 . Apparently the longer gravel pitches are the most popular fully serviced ones. We could hear RAF Holbeach in the distance but didn’t get any fly overs whilst we were on site. We do enjoy admiring craftsmanship from time gone by. Apart from restoration on large cathedrals etc I sadly doubt we will ever see the likes of this type of architecture again. Everything is down to time and money these days. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😃

Hi Janet & Andrew, All this lovely autumn weather and no caravan must be very frustrating. We would be back out if it wasn’t for work / holiday entitlement ! We were lucky with the weather at Delph Bank and had a marvellous time. It made a change to drive and sight see and it’s good to know you appreciate our efforts to showcase places of interest 👍. Thanks for joining us again and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi M & J, We’ve been looking out for a vlog from you, will keep an eye open. Gail and I are very well thank you, hope you are too. Some friends of ours stayed at Delph Bank many years ago and they said it sounds like it has new owners. It was certainly very nice 👍 and we enjoyed seeing the area too. Thanks very much for your compliment and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Thanks very much Simon, very kind of you 👍. A good site in a historic area and we enjoyed it very much. Pleased we came here. Cheers ☕️ for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you very much for your compliment Morag 👍. It was a new area for us to explore so we did the research before hand. It was a welcome change for us and we saw some lovely places. The site was very peaceful and relaxing. A good October holiday. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Hello Dougle, Your battery system sounds like a good set up. I know what you mean though about the lead acid batteries only lasting a couple of years or so. To be honest I only purchased these for the video as we never seem to suffer any power cuts. I wanted to show the dedicated BT UPS packs as they come with labelled connecting cables that anybody can understand. Ah yes the Cat7. The hub is around 6m from the ONT. The longest run I have is approx 45m to the garage. As you say I didn’t need this cable but I really enjoyed the experience of installing it. I’m also future proofed as no doubt Cat5 will eventually be obsolete. I did read somewhere, use Cat6 as a minimum for home networking. Thanks for watching. Cheers Rob 👍

Well fancy that Barbs, you learn something every day 😂 . It’s surprising what we come across during our research 🧐 and we had fun driving around looking for them all. Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Phil, It’s always great when someone adds a site we stay at to their ’go to’ list 👍. It was a new area for us to explore and we enjoyed everything we did. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Chris and many thanks 👍. What a lovely area to visit and showcase. We’re pleased you appreciate our take on your home ground. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Dave & Helen, Great site and area isn’t it and you’re welcome with the mention 👍. It made a nice change for us to explore the places of interest, just a pity most weren’t open 😂 . We’ll be climbing hills next trip weather permitting. Very best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you for telling us Graham. We did do our research but got a bit confused as both pronunciations were used 😂 . Hope we did the area you live in proud 🙂 . We really enjoyed our visit 👍. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Mark, We’re really pleased you enjoyed our video and have put it on your ’go to’ list 👍. We felt relaxed at this site and enjoyed all our days out. Apart from the occasional fish and chips at lunchtime and a rare pub lunch, we eat in the caravan. Gail is gluten free and we enjoy our fresh salmon and salad, cold meat, cheese and pickles and we both love pasta dishes. Gail sometimes brings a cooked meal like you, but doesn’t tend to cook much whilst we’re away. Our days out can be long and tiring if we’re walking. Top marks for tackling a Sunday roast though! Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Thanks as ever for joining us Paul and Joanne 👍. We had a great stay here and enjoyed chatting to owners, staff and holiday makers. Our days out were interesting and different and gave our walking boots a rest. We enjoyed filming it all and learning about the history. Gail is smiling you spotted her matching bling 😂. The leaking water you also spotted is actually dripping from the air intake hole of the ecocamel jetstorm shower head. There’s not a lot I can do about it 🤔. After our very first outing in the caravan on a standard pitch, fetching and emptying containers in the rain, I decided our second trip would be different. We’ve never looked back, but you are so very correct in saying we have restricted ourselves and miss out on many fab sites. Best wishes to you both. Rob & Gail 😀

@robswiseways5697 👍🥰

Hello Kim and welcome to our little corner of TH-cam. Thanks for subscribing and hope you enjoy following us on our caravan holidays 👍. Delph Bank is certainly a lovely site isn’t it. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Glyn & Carol, Pleased you enjoyed our latest release 😁. If you ever get to visit Delph Bank be sure to fly your drone over The Wash and show us the artificial islands. The proposed club house will be a nice touch for a beer or two. Ah, my garage is our little club house. Gail and I often sit by the caravan with a drink 😂. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

A site not to be missed Pete & Su. Oh yes my trusty spanner came in very handy indeed. All part of wise ways service 😂 . Good to hear we’ve done your neck of the woods proud 👍. We enjoyed a lovely stay at this site and had a great time filming and exploring this historic area. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
