      New viewer and love the content and presentation, but them (adopting Northernism) cracking Yorkshire beers must be served in a pint glass.

      @@andymoss very good point 😂 plenty were supped in the pub but you are spot on, we need a pint glass for the van, thank you and great idea, not sure why we haven’t thought of that before 😂 that’s why we love viewer feedback, watch this space… cheers 🍻

    Looked a great location even though it was rainy. It’s always good when places are dog friendly. Take care Gill

    Thank goodness for the Timothy Taylor, otherwise I would have had to label Iain as a Larger lout after seeing what he drank in front of the football 😂 at least we got to see Mollie paddling 😂 the look from Caroline when it was raining was priceless 😂

      Ha ha yes beer choice in the football pub was very limited... 😂

    That site was one of our favourites as so many walks from there. If you go out the back gate (to dog walk) and bear right you can walk up to the disused quarry then back down the lane to Skirethorns Lane then left back to main road. One of the bungalows on that lane used to have a model railway set up in the front garden - not sure if it's still there.
    The pub on the static site ( Poachers I think) is good and you can walk through the statics to get to it as there a gate before you get as far as the duck pond.
    We stayed there when the Tour de France went through. Carried our chairs, picnic and (of course) the umbrellas doen to the main road and sat there 2 hours waiting for the pelaton- flashed past in a minute 😂

      Ah brilliant thank you we didn't go that way so good reason to return 🥰 we watched that race too, it was over so quickly and so fast past us 😂

    Love Grassington, even though we got stuck there in our van and cost £110 to get towed out 🙂 Been back since ( in better weather) and it really is alovely place , all the best Trev Debz and Tyler x x

    Another great volg and another place to add to the list, pity the rain curtailed your activities a little, we were in Buxton that weekend and hardly saw a drop, it was very windy though which stopped the drone going up which is a pity as the Buxton CAMC site is in an old quarry so would have been great.
    Glad you enjoyed your trip to Skipton its a lovely town and well worth a stay for 2/3 nights, just enough time to get round all the great real ale pubs and bars🍺
    Not sure if Iain's tried it but Timothy Taylors bolt maker is an excellent ale & well worth trying should you happen across it.
    Look forward to the next one 👍

    • @VantasticAdventures

      Thank you not tried the bolt so will definitely have to go back and drink from source 😂🥰

    Molly is such a pretty girl. We were just up the road from you that weekend, by 8 miles. We holiday in Starbotton every year. The weather was awful all BH week, worst weather in the 15 years we’ve holidayed there. The walk from Grassinton to Hebden Bridge is lovely ( though have to cross stepping stones) and there’s a lovely tea room in the old school house. You should have tried the summer double decker bus that runs from York to Hawes on the Sunday & BH Monday - picks up on the main road in front of the site. We went on the BH Monday, only £2 and the view you get from the top of the bus is spectacular, first time we’ve gone by bus to the Wensleydale creamery in Hawes. It was quite an experience on those tight roads with steep inclines and tight stone bridges with oncoming traffic. Our son discovered the butchers in the spar this year and came back with a variety of pork pies and said they were the best he had ever tasted. Another great vlog, thank you.

    Great Video as usual - I watch your channel to work out how I can improve ours! Obviously great minds think alike - we went to Wharfdale a few weeks before you and have just been to Berwick Upon Tweed and then Edinburgh!

      Ah yes know what you mean! It was very busy as we left for our walk, the small streets were full of people and dogs, lovely atmosphere, Caroline desperate to visit again when they are filming 😊

    If you’ve got the silicon insert for the Omnia it make brilliant Yorkshire puddings or toad in hole

      @VantasticAdventures  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes definitely need to go back in the "summer" 😂 Great tip on the Omnia thank you, we should have bought the silicon extras at the time but were too tight 😂 will get that one as we may have accidentally set the baking paper on fire 🔥😬 didn't film that though fortunately 😂
