Thanks for sharing you’re trip, a part of the country, we’ve never been to. Em xx 😘
The south coast is amazing, Em. You should come down (assuming you're in the north) and bring the van 👍👍👍
I drove past that caravan park last week and it's starting to fill up with campers 😊
Oh yeah, it gets busy on bank Holiday weekends at all campsites, Stephen. It's best to book early
@@HermanHitstheRoad 😊 It occurred to me afterwards that it's Easter. 🤭😆😆😆🤭
We went there last year and felt our pitch was cramped. We loved the location and cycled to Hastings and east bourne. Thank you for the video. Take care Gill
Thanks Gill
Another great video Ads - so many laughs!!🤣 - Zoe, I think that fiver could possibly be mine - its easy to tell turn it over and if it has the queen's head on it - that's my one 😉 Love the fact that Ads seems to have issues with Pevensey. Was that a definite possible maybe vote for the campsite from Zoe (definitely none commitall) - and televised abuse - what is youtube coming to!! Thanks for the entertainment.
Geoff
Thanks Geoff. We're glad you enjoyed the video 👍👍
We'll send you the fiver but you'll have to pay for postage and packaging which is £10 🤣🤣👍
Well done with the video, could you do more sites please , Slindon Salisbury , all the camping club sites , you are so funny , and lively , john stevens .
Thanks for your comment, John. We'd love to visit all the of the camping club sites.

I hope this helps?
Cor would you believe it. I lost a note just like that. Mine had the queens head on it too 😂 I love Eastbourne and Becks Hill. Love how traditional and non commercialised they are but Clare said that just makes me old before my time 😂
If you can give me the serial number then you can have it. I don't think you're old before your time, you're just old 😉🤣👍
Great video guys. Like the way they give you 4 parking bays for motorhomes and some wally parks his car in it. He would receive one of my notes ha ha.Hope you are both well . Will look forward to the next one x
Thanks Michael. We're glad you enjoyed the video. Do you keep a pad of pre-made notes then? 😂
@@HermanHitstheRoad sure do
LOL and what do they say on them?
Great video both, we went to Eastbourne about 6 weeks ago when we we're staying at Brighton, my partner was a coach driver 25 years ago so been there loads of times but I'd never been, what a lovely place would definitely revisit, you both looked like you we're really enjoying your trip (Zoe has an infectious laugh) we're off to Llandudno north Wales in 9 days Oooh can't wait then on to Malvern for a nights so good to be out and about, well have fun both great to see you xx
Llandudno? Anywhere in Wales is good. I think you'll have a wonderful time, Chrissey
They do say that aside from the Holy Grail the greatest treasure is William The Conqueror's lost fiver!
Wow, so you mean that Will the C has lost his fiver with the Queen's head on it? 🤣🤣👍
@@HermanHitstheRoad By all accounts a very forward thinking fellow!
Haha 😄
Hah cycled passed there yesterday and now up the road at a CCC site just by Chichester. great area and good video thanks
Wow, are you cycling the coast or something, plymouthwelshboy?
@@HermanHitstheRoad 😄no Moho
Funny how I stumbled upon this as you were walking past my parents holiday home which is near the kiosk on the beach.
Didn't see a kiosk, MUFC. Were you searching for Norman's Bay then?
@@HermanHitstheRoad no, for some reason it was just on here. Kiosk is about a mile towards pevensey bay from the camp site. Incidentally I held the record apparently for being the youngest on that site at 4 days old which I imagine has been broken now haha.
👍👍👍
We went there last year it's a nice walk along the beach to sovereign harbour about 4 miles
Oh you can do that, John? We never got that far.
I haven’t been to that campsite but I love Hastings and Eastbourne so will try to go there at some point 😁
It's a great location for Hastings and Eastbourne, Sylvia
Pevensey Castle would have been coastal when William the Conqueror landed. Normans Bay will only have been reclaimed in the 1800’s. The Martello towers on the beach will be the oldest buildings around which were defences for Napoleonic wars
The lighthouse is on Royal Sovereign Shoals and is very shallow. From the land it might look strange but was a useful marker so big ships would know they are out the lanes. It has been decommissioned now
Thanks Tom. Lot's of great info there 👍👍👍
We live in East Sussex and love this site. We have stayed here quite a few times, it’s handy for Eastbourne, Sovereign Harbour and you can cycle to Cooden, which we have done. It’s only 20 miles from home.
Is there a cycle route or do you have to go on busy roads, Marilyn?
@@HermanHitstheRoad The route is a little used country lane, you turn left at the site entrance and cycle to the railway crossing, then turn right and cycle the lane which takes you past a lovely pub with beautiful garden, then over the crossing to the road that runs next to the beach, you can take your motorhome along here, we have, at the end you reach Cooden Beach Hotel with its restaurant and people sitting out on the beach terrace. You can continue on to Bexhill, the road is wide and flat. We are only occasional cyclists and can manage this. You should consider staying at Crowborough CCC site, we live here, there is a bus stop at the entrance that will take you to Brighton one way and the other to The Pantiles in Royal Tunbridge Wells. We live a couple of miles from Ashdown Forest, home of Winnie the Pooh, Pooh Sticks bridge is at Chuck Hatch and the car park takes Motorhomes, as does all the forest car parks, which at the moment are free, not after July though. There is also the Nutley Windmill on the forest which is 300 years old, Sheffield Park gardens and the Bluebell Railway are nearby. Also Heaven Gate Farm tea rooms at Danehill nearby has the best blue woods I have ever seen, amazing.
That's great information, Marilyn. Thanks 👍👍
I stayed there two years ago. Enjoyed it very much
One morning I walked along to road to the little shop, bought milk and a newspaper.
Decided to walk back along the pebbly beach. It was beginning to be rather windy. I had tucked the newspaper under my arm. Suddenly a huge gust of wind snatched the paper from under my arm and went sailing off ahead of me. Oh no, thought I. Couldn’t run to catch it but as I walked back I kept noticing the odd page blown up against bushes, low walls etc. Picked them up. Got back to campsite. Put pages back together and discovered I’d only lost one page. How about that. Whole experience Did make me laugh..
Yes the vans were close together when we were there. We’re firmly told we must not extend beyond a certain point.
Visited science centre at Hurstmonceaux. That was very interesting . Also Hastings and Rye
Thanks Dorothy. 👍
Never been to that site but I suppose it’s bound to be busy on bank holidays. You visited some nice places whilst you were there. The piers are in need of TLC as I think maybe the younger generations are not so keen on them as us. No ice cream in this video ? 😲😉 Safe travels 🚐 Trev
Thanks for commenting, Trev. I'm trying to stay away from the ice cream 🍦👍😉
I'll agree it's not the best of sites especially on a bank holiday, we've been several times and of course it's handy for visiting Julie's brother in Eastbourne, should have visited Rye an excellent place.
Did you spot the WW2 pillbox built into the keep at pevensey castle or Anderida ( a Saxon shore fort, built and used by the classis Britannica as the water used to come up nearly to the walls.
Anyway great vid, looking forward to the next one. 👍
Thanks Andy. Yes we saw the WW2 pillbox. 👍👍👍
Yes the site is pretty large, I didn't find it that well laid out compared to other ccc sites, but that said I haven't been there in 4 years- great location though. I describe Eastbourne as an older persons Brighton, love the seafront.
I know what you mean about the layout, William. You have to do a lap of the site including exiting and reentering to use the motorhome service pitch.
Pevensey Bay you helmet, gis my lady Godiva back!
A bit rude, Stephen
Why were all the soldiers called Norman? I understand they landed at Pevensey and were ready for battle there until a scout said “ sire, we should go further east and meet Harold. There’s a place a few miles down the road called Battle ( can you believe it sire) it’s surely the perfectly named town for the site a skirmish. And so boys and girls that’s how William the Conqueror ended up defeating the English.
What i want to know, Jonny is how they managed to cross the campsite and the train line without being seen or run over 🤣
@@HermanHitstheRoad They didn’t worry about getting run over by the trains. Just like today they only ran twice a day. Anyway they saw the caravan sites and made a detour along the beach.
🤣🤔
We have been several times , but never on a bank holiday ,turn left out of the site for a nice walk or cycle ride to a local pub, via a level crossing
Is that the Star pub, Colin? Must remember to go there.
Yes the Star
👍👍
It would be funny if that fiver was a fake.hope you had a nice time.all the best the Bank of England.😊
Haha it was a bit wet still, Adventures Type 🤣🤣
It's my fiver, it was blue with the Queens head on it🤣
We'll send it to you if you can tell us what the serial number is, Phil 👍🤣🤣
I was there two weeks ago and that’s my fiver!!!🤣🤣🤣
Nice try, Johnny. What are the last 4 digits of the serial number? 🤑
@@HermanHitstheRoad they are numbers £££££$$$$$ Ker Ching! I win
I'll send it over, Johnny 🤣
That’s my fiver for sure!!
We'll send it to you if you can remember the serial number, Tina 👍👍🤣
Sadly I was not at Norman's Bay. So It is not my fiver.
OK, Digger Buckett 😂🤑👍
Being a canny Scot I could give you the serial number of the £5 note if required
LOL 🤑👍. I think she's spent it, Alan.
