    And I've got the theme tune to "Auf Wiedersehn Pet" stuck in my head! 😂

    Good video again 👍
    We had a lookat this site, but the fact it is near to the retail park put us off, but after watching this we will have a another look. Thanks

      Hi Mo, thank you - well worth checking out, especially in the less favourable weather as easily accessible and plenty to do in a short distance. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

    Although its a lovely site and only about 3 miles away from we live, we have been to it, its just to close, great for Denz and Teesside park though 🙂 Been over the transporter bridge many times as kid on way to Seaton Crewe, an amazing feat of engineering, as is the barrage. Like Rachel i did the the Rat Race as well, the 3 years it was on , great fun and climbed over Newport bridge one year on it 🙂 Good to see The Talpore is now dog friendly, only been there in the summer and sat outside with Tyler, nice to know she is allowed in now. Shame Presron Park was closed, would of been nice to see what its like now, have mot been in there for decades, did all the graphics for them when o worked at the council many many years ago ! Great blog as ever, take care and all the best Trev Debz and Tyler

      We like it because it’s close! 😂 I’m gutted that I may never going to get on the transporter … it’s epic & an icon!
      Newport bridge was closed the year I did it! I was on the boat ages to jump off! It was good fun!
      It’s good that dogs can go back in the pub now! They were doing a refurb @ Preston park but opens again soon!

      We can highly recommend the site. You are right when you look at the site on paper it might put you off, however please don’t be put off. The retail park is within walking distance but not in your face 💗
      The pub is also really handy but you don’t really get noise from it.

    There is another transporter bridge in Bilbao Spain. Years ago, Terry Scott ( Terry and June fame and carry on ) drove over the edge of our transporter bridge, with no gondalier there into the catch net ( June 1974 ). He and his Jag had to be rescued lol.

      Ohhh I didn’t know there was another transporter bridge - if that’s working still I might have to go there so I can tick it off my bucket list!
      😂😂 Terry & June 😂😂 now that’s like a blast from the past! I wish I had seen that!
      I wonder how many more people have driven off without there being a gondola there? 😂😂

    Hello. David Rachel and Roxy. Hope you are well. I really enjoyed the video today, very interesting area , nice site too. We just took our Sainsbury van to the garden centre yesterday to give it a run. Awful weather so cold, 1c. Stayed in today. We read that rats this year are chewing car electrics and radiator hoses so I was recommended to spray engine with rodent spray. Smells of pineapple and mice don't like it. A lady with a VW had a huge bill for repair work. Although we are in a village there are fields around. Recommend you check this out. Rodent spray. Have a good week. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Nice you use it all year. We're off to Kessingland site Suffolk in March. Best wishes to you both. David and Beverley Norfolk

      Thank you - hope you’re well too! It’s been pretty chilly hasn’t it - hope the van in going well still despite the weather. Sounds like a good idea to stop things eating pipes and tings. Will check out the rodent spray - thanks for the heads up. March will be here before we know it! Have a lovely week too - all the very best, David & Rachel 👍

    A great video and a place I would never think to visit but might do now. We camp all year round and tend to do club sites with electric in the winter and non EHU in the summer. Take care Gill

      Thank you - it always amazes us what you can find which at first glance you would think “nah” but actually are really nice. I thought it good value as with the temperatures the way they are, it does mean you’re using electric far more than when it’s warmer! All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

    Not visited White Water Park yet, but often looking for year round sites to break up the winter months. Although we've been greedy this January just returning from Abbey Wood (London) and planning to go to York Rowntreee next week. Thanks for the videos.

    Isn't the Captain Cook birthplace museum at Preston Park? or was that the museum that was shut - which would have been a shame as it was very good when we visited few years back

      Hi thank you for watching & commenting. 💗
      The Captain Cook museum is at Stewart’s Park not far away. At Preston Park there is a Victorian street. We will have to go back
