I remember it back in the day but I wasn't driving then so didn't get to enjoy the fun often. Weirdly I have never heard the Turkey thing. To us it was still a Fox Hunt. Although instead of plotting it was just done driving around getting closer until you actually found them. I think these days it would be classed as some sort of Rally and therefore not very legal.

@@JayGetsAbout True, i don't think it was very legal back then! and the fact i was driving a mark 2 Escort with huge spotlights! haha

Thanks. Have a great time.

Thanks. See you soon!

Thank you.

I'm her Dad. I had a tough paper round.

Thanks. Not a massive fan of crowds myself. You should have seen it later when we had to get across town at rush hour to reach North London. That was great.

A Martin Acoustic. D-18 if I remember correctly but it might have been a D-28.

I know the scene well. 😁

LOL - all you needed was a Halfords voucher in those days.

Thanks. There's nothing wrong with Fords they just aren't as good as Vauxhall (runs for cover). The museum is definitely worth a visit. Definitely takes you back.

Thanks - Yeah, it was a great place to use as a base for some day trips. It comes to something when your 9 year old daughter tell you you're childish 😁

Great Yarmouth seems to get some bad press. We thought it was great and will go again for sure.

Hi Darren - I've just checked my booking and yes, it was Dimbola Lodge. I hope you have a good time - we certainly did.

@JayGetsAbout thanks Jay, I'm now a little worried as I have paid much more than what you paid and not being funny, I didn't think what you paid was good value 😉 again thanks so much for answering my question👍👍👍 I've subscribed aswell 😀

@@Somersetmanwalking It really was OK. It was our second time in at Nodes Point - the first time was in one of the more expensive lodges (we got a good deal well off season) it was Billingham and was pretty new. So, by comparison Dimbola was not as good. However, it wasn't bad. The park is great and we found the staff really nice on both occasions. Of course, it helps that it is the Isle of Wight - our absolute favourite destination. I am sure you'll enjoy your holiday there. Please do let me know how you get on.

@@JayGetsAbout will do Jay we have visited Nodes Point many times when our kids were growing up and love the island, this is our first time back to Nodes in well over 20 years. the only thing that concerned me was that when we booked it they put it was 20ft wide and it didn't look it on your vlog, was it? i also thought your vlog was great. i will be doing a review on the lodge. we won't be using the facilities at the park much and will be mostly using it as a base. i am hoping to do a few Vlogs on the island about various bits and pieces weather permitting. Best wishes Darren

​@@Somersetmanwalking Firstly thanks for the positive comment about the vlog - I appreciate it. It is a steep learning curve but hopefully I will keep improving. It must have been that wide. All the lodges are listed as that and they are two vans wide (which are usually 10/12ft). It certainly felt roomy - especially compared with a standard van. You do notice it when you walk in. I will say the bedrooms don't feel massively bigger. They have used the space to have two bathrooms and the second bedroom has a walk-thru type wardrobe through to a bathroom with a full bath. I certainly feel people will enjoy that extra space because you can be together but can separate if you know what I mean. A standard van will have you on top of each other. Jay
