Thanks for watching. I bet you were popular! The thing is, it's ALWAYS in the front locker, so we never check; why would we? It's always there :-) I like to put things in the caravan, know where they are and never remove them. Did it once with my club hammer, took it out to use in the house, and forgot to put it back. I bought another for the house, as it's hard to put awning pegs into a hard standing without a hammer :-)
So what have we learnt from this video? 1. Don't ignore Road Closed signs.... 2. Try not to loose/forget any of the caravan essentials! We live relatively near to a small airfield (much like that one) so we hear the aircraft quite often, they even fly over our house (thankfully not too low) To be fair I thought you were going to throw the pine cone at Mandy and blame it on a squirrel or other wildlife! Another very entertaining video! 👍
I'm so glad that you explained how the bluebell woods got the name😁 there was a small wood where I used to live that was full of dog poo, the name of which escapes me
Thanks for watching. I know I should be knighted for the public service I provide; actually, as I'm filming, I say stupid stuff like the bluebell comment. Used to delete it, but now I keep it... BTW it's was the dog sh!t woods..
How can you lose the battery for the drill😂 we normally keep it on the drill. I will add our drill is 12 volts so we can charge it in the van via the 12 volt socket which is handy because one day it died has we were setting off but charged it in the van as we were going along so it was ready when we arrived. You mentioned Australia and New Zealand, I follow a Kiwi site ‘Adventures with Rosie’ it’s interesting to see how different their vans are compared to ours. They are built for more off road work and seem a bit more sturdy.
Thanks for watching. My question exactly, how did "we" lose a battery. Well, it fell out of the car; Mandy picked it up but obviously left the battery in the road (it was dark), so when I went to use it... At the end of the vlog you can hear Mandy say "She's found it" that's her speaking to the person we visited; it was on the road outside their house :-) My drill is 18v. Yes, I'm family with that channel.
Thanks for watching. I'm experimenting with getting people to watch to the end :-) The only other option is to make it enjoyable the whole way through.. E&P very soon, I promise..

One of the first sites we ever stayed on. My Wife had a training course nearby so we set the van up for 2 weeks there. We enjoyed the airfield and the cafe there. As you say, it’s fun to see the small aircraft come in and out.
Thanks for watching. Yeah it's a lovely site. Reading reviews, they had issues with travellers last year but noticed they'd got big bollards at the entrance now..
Looks a nice site. Great walks nearby and a bit of plane spotting thrown in. You don’t need E&P Graham, managed no problem with the windy up thingy! Cheers
Thanks for watching. The cafe didn't, but there was a pilot's bar, so if you can get your hands on a plane. Mind you, having a few pints and them flying isn't ideal!
Hi Graham, still watching since we bought our Bailey almost 4 years ago. Pretty experienced now having travelled a large part of the North Island of New Zealand using our van throughout the year. Unfortunately in Auckland right now our van is more a submarine with the flooding we are currently experiencing.
Thanks for watching and for your support; it is appreciated. Sorry to hear about the flooding. It seems very little news from NZ ever filters through. Stay safe. Hope it dries up soon.
Great video as always, we’re going to Wyatts Covert site in Feb half term visiting London for the first time properly and also going to Lego land with mini monsters. Went their a couple of years ago the site was really good
Wooded area with a carpark... watch out for DOGGERS my son and when you forget that much stuff, it's nature's way of telling ya "time for motorhome!!.😂😂💕🇬🇧🇺🇦
Great video mate I’m thinking of getting a towing cover I know you have one and noticed you didn’t put it on the van on your trip have you changed your mind on towing covers I know people say they scratch the van? 👍
Thanks for watching. No issue with the towing cover, I was just in a hurry to get to the site and a bit stressed time wise so decided not to put it on. I had a bit of a strop and decided I didn’t have the time 😂🙄
At least hi viz guy stood and helped where you could see him. My wife and daughter like to stand in any blind spot they can find. That and mumble instructions thinking I can hear over the car engine. 🙄
Thanks for watching. Yes, I could see them, but I have trust issues. "Sorry mate didn't see it" they don't give a crap :-) There was a bloke in from of me; I think he was pumping up a tire; he didn't move an inch. Hampered my otherwise perfect manoeuvre
Good to see you winding up the legs properly. LOL International Caravan Vlogger at his best 😂 Trev
Thanks for watching Trev. I had to have a lie down after that :-)
Itis always wise to take a child or a grandchild in case the battery runs out on the steady winder. So much easier on the back.
Nice video Graham but wing mirrors disappeared in the 70s it’s now all door mirrors
Thanks for watching. Hmm, I am a product of the 60s I know nothing of these things you call door mirrors 😂🙄🤷🏼♂️
Bring back memories................ Just keep on winding..........................
Thanks for watching. Getting E&P fitted Wednesday and it’s all your fault 😂
@@CaravanVlogger you’ll love it - what a toy!
That's one of my fears - taking a wrong turn and ending up down a little one way, narrow, dead end street that I can't get out of.
Thanks for watching. I agree; it's a constant worry. Especially when the wife says, "turn left here...I think" :-)
Looks a nice site for plane spotters
Hi Graham. My wife made me a check list so I don't forget stuff. One time left the waste container at home with the check list.🙄 thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching. I bet you were popular!

@@CaravanVlogger o yes she was over the moon with me. After an hour of told you to check the list I took the ear defender's off and whent to the pub
@@paulpringle8263 You waited a whole hour!

Thanks for watching. Yes, I make these mistakes so that you don't have to. How many other caravan channels teach you what NOT to do? haha
@@CaravanVlogger erm let me think.... None! Although I bet you regretted not putting on your caravans front cover!
I did but I got a bit stressed and refused to put it on 😫😂
I'm so glad that you explained how the bluebell woods got the name😁 there was a small wood where I used to live that was full of dog poo, the name of which escapes me

Damn. I only watched this to see your new E&P levelling system. All the way to the and and you get the bloody handle out. C'mon Graham 🤣👍

E&P very soon, I promise..

Thanks for watching. Great site isn’t it. We started the year discussing we’d use more private sites. Hasn’t started off that way 🤦
Loving the humour. The site looks a great place for a short weekend away.
Thanks for watching. Yeah it's a lovely site. Reading reviews, they had issues with travellers last year but noticed they'd got big bollards at the entrance now..

Thanks for watching. I probably just made it look easier than it was :-) Everyone needs E&P ! Mind you, not got it yet :-)
Nice site ❤️😁 Ps does the Cafe sell Beer ? Asking for a friend 😂
Thanks for watching. The cafe didn't, but there was a pilot's bar, so if you can get your hands on a plane. Mind you, having a few pints and them flying isn't ideal!
last time out the battery was dead and we had to do the legs manually!!! Takes you back!!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Sorry to read about your caravan Sean..hope you get it sorted out.
@@M..R.... Thanks, all sorted, ready for the next adventure hopefully soon after dismal summer so far! all the best
Graham i got concerned the Pine Cone was something a dog had left behind Ha Ha P.S i leave my front cover on in the winter it help me not to forget
Thanks for watching. You leave your cover on all the time? Hmm...
Yeah haha it did look a bit like something a dog left behind.
Great video as always, we’re going to Wyatts Covert site in Feb half term visiting London for the first time properly and also going to Lego land with mini monsters. Went their a couple of years ago the site was really good
Thanks for watching. We enjoyed our weekend there without travel too far from the site 👍🏻
Great video as always Graham 👍
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Wooded area with a carpark... watch out for DOGGERS my son and when you forget that much stuff, it's nature's way of telling ya "time for motorhome!!.😂😂💕🇬🇧🇺🇦
Thanks for watching. Ha, motorhome! I do keep doing the lottery, so if those numbers ever come up, there might be something big and shiny on the drive
@@CaravanVlogger I don't think so... you've been their done that and have learned your lesson..I hope!!.😂💕🇬🇧🇺🇦
