Hi there Pete and Su, We had a super time at Southport. We explored all over and did lots 😁. We loved the amazing beaches. Trust you Sue 😂 but you made Gail smile. Model engineers miniature railway is apparently open Sundays. Eye Kettleby is one of our favourites. It’s a very relaxing place to spend 10 days especially with the weather you had. Hope you enjoyed a Melton Mowbray pork pie whilst you were there 🥧. Thanks very much for your compliment and comment 👍 Take care, Rob & Gail 😀

Yes agree Andy. A time of sorrow for Southport ❤❤❤

Hi Barbs, I’m pleased my video may be helpful to your friends 👍. It’s certainly been useful for us. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Barbs, We have never owned an awning and never felt the need to purchase one. We are quite happy relaxing in our caravan 😊. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Barbs, Yes I made the hooks myself. I used 3mm stainless steel rod. I show this in my video titled ‘Caravan Grey Waste Extension’. Knowing what I know now, I would have used 2mm stainless rod as it would have been good enough and easier to bend. Don’t mind the questions at all Barbs 👍. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

I like a challenge Barbs and my technical mind helps solve problems 😁. Bear in mind the extras on our toilet are not standard. The electric blade is a factory option, but only if a new toilet is ordered / purchased to replace an existing toilet. The marvellous ventilator kit which includes the multi level waste indicator is widely available as a retrofit. Thanks again for watching, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Barbs, another of my very early videos. I would make a better job if I had another go now 😂. Home from home plumbing is a must for us 😁 . Best regards, Rob & Gail

Hi Barbs, Hope you’re doing well 👍. Gail’s mum had surgery on a pinched spine a number of years ago. I’ve noticed you have seen my grey waste video which hopefully answers your questions 🙂. Thanks for choosing our channel to keep you entertained 😂. Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you very much for your compliment Sheila & Gavin 👍. Good to know you enjoyed our latest video. Our little hobby keeps us busy on our travels but we do enjoy putting them together. Thanks and warm wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Morag, This was one of our all time favourite holidays. The site was top notch as are all Morris Leisure sites. Stanmore Hall is one of their sites and this holiday stands out for us too. Agree Llanberis is a village with a difference and to think Gail thought we were going to struggle for things to do there, she soon ate her words 😂 . We too wish we had time to visit more sites, there’s so many good ones out there. Thanks for joining us again 👍, Rob & Gail 😀

😂 Bit self conscious back then, not confident being in front of the camera 😂. But the facts are there and pleased you found it helpful 👍. Thank you as always, Rob & Gail 😀

That’s a shame Babs. You would think the council would want to preserve the second longest pier in Britain. It needs a helping hand from the National Lottery. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍, Rob & Gail 😀

Yes Barbs the club know how to charge at prime seaside resorts because they know they can fill their pitches. When we add up the great weather we had, the brilliant time we had and the sites perfect location, it was worth it for us. We’ve never been to Wells Next the Sea but are aware of Pinewoods site and it’s on our to go to list one day. However you may be surprised to learn pitch prices between 8th and 13th July 2024 were £49 / night weekends and £42 midweek. But from 20th July to 3rd Sept they are asking a staggering £60 / night ! wow ! Our trip to Cleethorpes in June was an absolute bargain at £25 / night and we loved it there. Thanks again for watching Barbs 👍. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

@@robswiseways5697 😱😱 £60 a night! No wonder Lord Coke (owner) is loaded 🤑 🤣

We loved it at Teversal Barbs. It was one of our favourite holidays of 2023. Pleased you have wonderful memories of your stay there too 👍. Warm regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi there Dave & Helen, It’s not easy finding time for TH-cam when you’re busy enjoying your own holiday so many thanks for watching 👍. Southport has its own Victorian charm and is well worth a visit. Hope you’re having a smashing time on your tour 👍. Warm regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hello there Angie and Dean and thank you for a perfect score 👍 We are both flattered and appreciative and it’s wonderful to also be top of the tree ! 🍌We do our best to please 🙂. Gail is tickled pink by your compliment and pleased to hear you are following in her footsteps 😁. All the best to you both, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Morag and once again thank you for watching our videos. We are really sad there’s only a few months left for anyone influenced by our video to enjoy the waterside pitches and all the site has to offer. It really is quite unique.It was great to make friends with the wildlife and had we known would have taken a larger stash of food for them.We always aim to see and do as much as possible on our getaways and it’s great to be able to share it with all who watch. Thank you for commenting 👍, warm regards, Rob & Gail 😀

@@robswiseways5697 💕

Hello there Roland, We’ve just Googled Evening Primrose and yes you are correct✔️. They were a very colourful sight to come across. Once again we are happy to know you enjoyed watching and you put a big smile on Gail’s face 😊. We had a great time. Warm regards Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you very much Steve 👍. We had a wonderful time in Humberston / Cleethorpes 😁😁and enjoyed staying on the old Thorpe Park site too. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you Barbs 👍. I just use the Colapz pipes on the end of the rigid pipe into the drain point. Warm water will cause them to sag if suspended between ground pegs if trying to create a fall towards a drain point. I touch on this in our Llamberris video. Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Greetings to you Doug in Canada. Hope your wife is finding the UK to her liking 👍. We much prefer mild temperatures as we are both useless in the heat 😂 . Fresher temperatures are better for our walking holidays too. Thanks very much for watching our video, we had a lovely time. All the best to you, Rob & Gail 😀

Thanks for dropping by again BB and for your compliment 👍. It’s surprising what you come across during explorations and Churchtown seems to be proving popular in the comments section. It was a really good holiday. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Hello Morag and thank you for tuning in again 👍. This was one of those sites we wanted to take everywhere… Great view and mostly quiet 😂. Great location too. Thanks for commenting and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Stewart, We had great time in and around Southport. Thank you for the tip, we are already booked to visit this site later in the year 👍, so one to look out for. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did 👍. Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

@@robswiseways5697 tyyy

Hello Carol and Stephen, great to know our video may influence you to visit Southport👍. It certainly kept us entertained. Although the sculptures have been on Crosby beach for 19 years we had no idea of their existence until someone mentioned them a few days prior to our holiday. So glad we were enlightened as they were amazing ! We too have always said the pricier serviced pitches are not necessarily in the best location and can often be found clustered around the facility block. Gail had a wonderful view of the ladies toilet door when we had our caravan door open 😂 She was not amused. We always stay on a mix of sites and will hopefully visit a serviced CL next trip with a view and a bit of breathing space in front ! All the best Rob & Gail 😀

@@robswiseways5697 Ha ha! Poor Gail, let's hope your next holiday has a more inspiring view! We've ended up by the facilities block in the past, not the best. The rest of your trip looked lovely though. Best wishes to you both.😊

@@Cas.1964 Thanks both, we had an amazing time 😃

Thank you very much Richard it’s kind of you to say so 👍. There was so much to see and do and we really enjoyed filming it all. We arrived on Sunday pm and spent the afternoon relaxing in the caravan, had only we’d known 🤔. Hope others read your comment and visit Birkdale Village. Thanks for your comment and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi there Andrew and Karen, We had a great holiday all round. All the beaches were surprisingly something else with those sweeping dunes and yes those statues. We only learned about the statues a few days prior, so a lucky conversation that was 👍. Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Cheers Tommo and we’re pleased you enjoyed the vlog. We enjoyed exploring and found plenty to keep us occupied so can recommend a visit 👍. There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with the site, we just weren’t keen on the pitch itself and its lack of privacy. There wasn’t a TV hook up on the bollard but it didn’t require one with having such a good signal to the caravan aerial. Don’t know about Wi-Fi as we use the personal hotspot on our phone. The phone signal fluctuated between one and two bars. Thanks for your comment and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you very much Shaun. Another set of happy memories added to our store. Hi to Sally 😀and hope you are both well.All the best Rob & Gail

Hello and welcome ! Nice to hear we’ve evoked some happy childhood memories for you👍.It was a shame both railways were closed but no doubt they will be put to test at weekends and throughout the school holidays.We know just what you mean about Llandudno, it has the same Victorian grace about it. They don’t build them like they used to ! As for the weather of late, well that’s another story. Winds and towing just don’t mix . Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Kind regards Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Lucio, hope you are good. Yeah, we won’t be moving anytime soon.You’re not that far away… Great to hear you have been enjoying our videos so thanks for watching 👍 All the best, Rob & Gail

@@robswiseways5697 hi sent you an email Rob , Lou

Hi Ian, pleased you enjoyed our latest efforts.It was a good holiday and we enjoyed it all. Churchtown has a nice atmosphere and we loved the park with its aviary and fernery. Well worth seeing 👍. Thank you for watching and best regards . Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Susan and many thanks to you. Indeed a wonderful ,nostalgic, genteel seaside town. We had a marvellous time and can highly recommend. Thank you for your comment 👍 kind regards Rob & Gail 😀

Hello there Snack, Pleased you enjoyed our tour of the area and we can happily report we enjoyed every minute. Another big ✔️Thanks for joining us again , all the best Rob & Gail 😀

Hi there Jan, Hope you’re well. Thanks for joining us again and pleased you enjoyed watching 👍. We had a great time and packed a lot in. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi there Tony, Pleased you enjoyed our latest go everywhere, see everything video 🙂. We certainly like to pack plenty in. Great it’s inspiring you to return. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Well fancy that Dave. If you mean the end pitch that would have been our first choice. Good to know you carry a trusty shovel 😂 There you go a Robs top tip of the day 😂 . I made a slight adjustment too. We are bowled over to hear you absolutely love our vlogs 👍. It makes the hard work all worthwhile. Thank you. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

So near yet so far Colin… I’m still fancying hot pot pie 🥧 😋 😂

Thank you very much Yvonne 👍. We love sharing and inspiring others and are pleased to know we have given you some ideas. Great to hear you enjoyed your holiday in Barmouth, we love a traditional seaside town. And the weather wasn’t all bad was it 🌦️ . Good to know you’ll join us next time, Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Thank you for watching and commenting again Aliwan, much appreciated. Thank you also for your wonderful compliments. Take care, Rob & Gail 😀 👍

Hi there Mark and Jo, It has certainly been a lot drier since we returned home but on the plus side we did dodge all the showers whilst we were there. We like the East Yorkshire coast very much and you’ve been lucky with the weather. We also like the Lincolnshire coast and loved it at Sutton on Sea despite the heat wave, yes it really was two years ago ! Hope you have a great time there 👍. Cheers, Rob & Gail 😀

@@robswiseways5697 oh I thought it was last year you were at Sutton on sea CCS. 😂 Lol yeah we noticed you,s dodged the showers. Yes thku I think will like the Sutton CCS 🙂

Ps, I'm gonna try do a utube over the weekend if I get round to it ,I've never uploaded or done utubes before so hope it fairs up ok lol 😂🙂

@@MarknJoscaravaningtours Time flies doesn’t it 🙂

@@MarknJoscaravaningtours Well we’re going to have to keep our eyes peeled for this one then 🧐

Hi Julie, Just missed you by a few hours, but our paths may cross one day 😁. We found the site really handy to explore from too. Lots to see and take in on the walk into town and we liked that. Everyone is missing the pier, we certainly did and it’s a shame it will remain closed for the foreseeable future. Let’s hope the weather cheers up for you in September for your return visit. Not long until we’re back on holiday again and it’s lovely to know how much we are appreciated. Thank you. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀

Really pleased our videos are keeping you entertained Barbs 😂 , we are flattered. Oh yes you simply must try the pate and beetroot combo, it’s delicious 😋 Cheers, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi there Sean & Lisa, thank you for your compliment 👍. It’s a lovely site with lots to see and do in Southport itself and the fantastic beaches are vast. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

You’re welcome Peter 👍. We loved exploring this area and it’s great to share our adventures. Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Allan, whilst we were filming a local lady pointed out Black Combe to us. With the silhouette being only slightly left of Blackpool Tower I did check my map before commenting on the video. Thanks for your comment and best regards, Rob & Gail 👍

No it isn't. It is Barrow in Furness. Look on a good map a) IOM is 70 mile from Southport, and at street level the Horizon is only 50 mile away. b) From Southport the IOM bearing is about 30 degrees west Blackpool Stating it is IOM is an urban myth with many Sandgrounders (Locals)

@@arthurdent2900 Hello Arthur, OS maps are the best 👍. I’ve just checked and Black Combe stands 500 plus metres above Barrow in Furness. There is a trig point North East of Barrow in Furness, at Furness, which is a mere 156 metres above sea level. But you are correct it’s definitely not IOM. Thanks for your comment, Cheers, Rob & Gail 😀

Hi there Chris and Mrs D, A few years ago now we stayed at nearby Bron-y-Wendon and we had a look around Tyddyn Du with a view to a future booking but unfortunately we’ve never been back that way. Despite the chilly weather, we hope you had a smashing time 👍. I was very lucky I didn’t have to share my shortbread as Gail is gluten intolerant 😁. Thanks very much for your compliment and best wishes to you both, Rob & Gail 😀

Sorry to hear that Barbs. Hope all ok now and are able to rebook soon. All the best to you both, Rob & Gail 😀👍

@@robswiseways5697 unfortunately he died of cancer sorry to part with bad news. I sold our caravan as I didn’t feel I wanted to continue but 4 years down the line and I’m going to buy a 2 berth next Spring and start having new adventures 👍🏼

@@barbsdee3831 Oh Barbs we are so sorry to hear this. But it is marvellous to hear you are planning to get out and about again 👍and we wish you all the very best 👍

@@robswiseways5697 I’m getting lots of great ideas from your channel thank you so much to you both 😘

Fancy missing you Mel and Adrian by just a few days. That would have been a coincidence since we met at a club site one year ago this month 😁 . Rotten Row was certainly blooming lovely despite a battering from all that rain. Definitely worth a look at👍 by anyone staying at the site. Our pitch felt very exposed and we would have preferred one backing onto the hedges.We’ve got a clear rear washroom window ! The sheltered pitches are more favoured by us too. Hope you enjoyed your two week tour and are happily prepping for your next trip… Best wishes to you both, Rob & Gail 😀
