    Nice spot in Minehead, with easy access to the town and the seafront. The West Somerset Railway is interesting to have a look at and the walk you mentioned to Dunster Beach is good. The Apple Tree cafe in the High street is a great place to go for lunch or even just a cup of tea/coffee. Thanks for showing us around

    The road from Taunton to Williton is the A358, not the A38. You then join the A39 to Minehead.

    Hubby and i were in minehead in july the two weeks of very hot weather and it was busy as well, we stayed about 5 mins from the centre, we had lunch at the Wheelhouse which is a family run place it was excellent and lovely owners, only thing was being starred at whilst we ate as we sat outside because it was so hot, Dunster proberly my fav place very pretty not sure about parking i think you mentioned with a motorhome, but was pretty, good to see fudge out and about hope he is keeping well xxx

    One dog walking feature that can be added to a recumbent trike is a fixed arm that a leash can be tied to. It works perfectly. The dog trots a safe distance from the wheels to the side and everyone is happy. Pace yourself and the dog so as not to over work them or their paws.

    You've probably covered this, we pick up our first motor home this Friday. How do you secure Fudge for traveling, we also have a German Shepard.

    • @HereWeTow
      @HereWeTow  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have tried two ways, he has a harness that we have clipped in to one of the rear seatbelts but we found he couldn’t move due to the strap not being long enough. The other method was to attach a short lead to his harness and then attach this to the leg of the fixed table. He could then turn around on the floor. We bought a non slip bath mat for him to lay on so he doesn’t slide about on the floor. Enjoy your new motorhome 😊👍 Karina

    Once you and George have the chance to ride around on a recumbent trike, I know you will be hooked! I guarantee it! A battery-powered pedal assist trike would be an even more ideal situation. No hills too steep. I'm trying not to be obnoxiously persistent here, but I watched this stop while keeping an eye out for how well a recumbent trike would enhance the experience and extend the jaunt. With a trike, you just conveniently stop as pedestrians approach and they pass you safely. You don't have to stop and catch your balance as you would on a bike. When you parked your RV and I saw your large rear garage door, I was so filled with envy. The perfect situation. Fish and chips demand to be eaten straight away. Cold fish and chips are not good at all! In England, you used to wrap fish and chips in used newspaper to keep them warm. But in the 70's you stopped doing it because of the toxic dyes in the ink.

    Hi both. Two question's if I may. What did Jules have on his Kebab? Looked like chicken nuggets or something and also, what camera set up have you got in the cab with the split screen? looked really good. Thanks.

    • @HereWeTow
      @HereWeTow  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Iann..it was a mixed kebab,, grilled chicken, with salad and garlic mayonnaise..no nuggets 😂 In the windscreen we used a Go Pro 9 and a DJI Action. Have a great week and thank you for watching 😊 Karina

      @@HereWeTow Thanks for quick response. How did you get the picture in picture? do you use fancy software? I ask because my kids want to create a channel when we finally get a motorhome and any help on kit and software would be great. Hope you enjoyed the food, it looked fab.

      @HereWeTow  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is DaVinci Resolve, it’s free software, it isn’t easy to explain how to do it all but when you get started we can give you some advice. Basic editing is straight forward though 😊👍

    Fantastic vlog, really enjoyed it.
    We absolutely love Minehead its just across the channel from us . I'm a bit biased though as my Grandfather was born and raised there. 😊👍
    Yes the channel very often looks brown and murky because of the high tide ranges stirring up the mud and silt but it still looks impressive 👌 🤩
    Thanks again 👍

    Great walks, if you walk past Butlins, to the golf club at the end and the parking, you can walk along a path or the beach to Blue Anchor. Great place if you have a dog. Love the site.

    Great revue . love that area so much to see and do . we have a tandem which we take with our motorhome we tend to camp just outside Porlock places worth visiting Watchet, Dunster, Dunster beach, Bossington, Allerford, Porlock, Porlock wear, Lynmouth, Lynton. Stunning area but the roads are bendy and very hilly.

    • @HereWeTow

    Very informative vlog.
    We were in Minehead last year and stayed at the CMC site where we had a dreadful pitch. We just couldn't get our van anywhere near level after ramping on 3 wheels. I have to say the site was pretty full when we arrived so it was Hobson's choice! Our wonky motorhome experience didn't spoil our stay though. The site is ideally positioned and surprisingly peaceful.
    If you walk to the left ( away from Butlins ) towards the small harbour, at the end, you would find lots of parking for motorhomes in quite a large car park.

    While I have never been down the A39. If it's 2 lanes and HGV use it I would not want to scare of newbies using that route, it's hardly a narrow country lane.dpes look like a great site

    • @HereWeTow
      @HereWeTow  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly Victor you would not want to tow an 8ft caravan down it..the HGVs are generally over the white line and its solid hedges along quite a bit of it. My advice would be that you wont have an enjoyable tow to site on the A39 with a big unit. I hope you and Karen have had a nice summer and are both okay. 😊 Karina
