Thank you very much Aliwan 👍. All the very best, Rob & Gail 😀
Hello Rob & Gail Thank you for your lovely video, what a fabulous location. It's sad the lakeside is going to change it must have been very special to watch the sunsets and have that beautiful view in the morning. You both will have been greatly missed by the ducks and fish at dinnertime. Your videos are great showing lovely places to walk and visit. Take care looking forward to your next adventure 🐟🐤
Hi Morag and once again thank you for watching our videos. We are really sad there’s only a few months left for anyone influenced by our video to enjoy the waterside pitches and all the site has to offer. It really is quite unique.It was great to make friends with the wildlife and had we known would have taken a larger stash of food for them.We always aim to see and do as much as possible on our getaways and it’s great to be able to share it with all who watch. Thank you for commenting 👍, warm regards, Rob & Gail 😀

Hello Rob & Gail what a lovely place & video you have put together always intresting everytime another great choice with your site too look forward to your next adventure 😊
Hi Yvonne, Thank you for joining us again on our latest adventure. We are so pleased we got to stay at this site before the touring area closes at the end of 2024. Good to hear you enjoyed our explorations and found them interesting. Next vacation will be at the seaside, hope the weather improves 😁. Thanks for commenting and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob and Gail good to see you out, we are at Eye Kettlby Lakes this week having some R& R, Bosworth looks nice glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing, hope you,ll be back on our screens soon love watching you both. Take Care xx
Hi Julie, You’re having some decent weather for a change at lovely Eye Kettlby Lakes, it’s a top notch site 👍. We had a great time at Bosworth Lakes with our picturesque view. The walks were nice too. Not long until we’re back on the road…. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Excellent content again from you good folk, hope all Gail’s fingers were accounted for after the fish feeding frenzy , garden knocked into shape, car & van washed today ahead hitching up in the morning and heading for Wales and Chirk via Chester, hope the weather improves 🤞,best wishes Chris & Mrs D.
We’re pleased you enjoyed our latest production Chris & Mrs D. Gail was assured by the park ranger the Carp were toothless 😂. She likened them to piranha, I think she’s watched too many movies 🫣.
Great to hear you’re hitting the road and heading for a nice part of the country. Your pre-holiday regime is much the same as ours. We like to leave everything just so before we go. I think you’re in for a spell of pleasant weather, have a smashing time, Take care, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob and Gail , i thoroughly enjoy your videos 😊 you always have great content and explain where youve walked through the map , which i love. Take care look forward to the next vlog
Hello Sam, Great news to hear you enjoy our vlogs and our presentation style 👍. We enjoy putting these videos together and sharing as much as possible. Pleased you appreciate the map views. Take care and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Yes, I've only discovered this fantastic channel recently, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! My new estate car came with a tow bar, and now I find myself eagerly looking at used caravans!!👍👍
@@snacklofter Caravanning is a wonderful way to spend a holiday with hundreds of touring sites and miles of open road 👍
Hi Gail and Rob,
Another lovely vlog and site, I can't believe that sites are now turning away tourers and replacing with lodges, maybe down to finance/money ?.
The walks looked lovely and really interesting in the signal box too much for me to remember 😂.
Gail is defo braver than us with hands in with the hoover fish, loved how the ducks were walking over them 😀.
Nice weather again until the rain came 😌.
Looking forward to the next vlog 😊.
Take care both as always.
Paul and Joanne 😁 👍
Hi there Paul and Joanne,
As always thank you for watching and commenting 👍.
It’s a shame the touring site is closing at the end of the year. Hopefully our video will inspire people to book before it’s too late. We enjoyed the holiday and filming the attractions in the area which may be helpful for anyone staying at other nearby sites in the future. There might not be a lake view with Hoover fish and ducks though 🦆 😂.
Don’t mind a caravan day in when it rains but would have loved a visit to Twycross Zoo.
Kindest regards to you both.
Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob and Gail hey those carp were amazing eh 👍 lovely film again and what a great site id like that with the kayaking, wad hoping you would of gone to the battlefield its quite a sight isn't it i remember visiting with a Richard 3rd enthusiast once we were taken to a little local church where his memorial is and theres always fresh flowers on it , anyway we both enjoyed watching 👌 Glyn and Carol
Hello Glyn and Carol, Pleased you enjoyed our video 👍. It was another great holiday and we enjoyed the site, our pitch and everything we did. Gail enjoyed feeding the Carp best 😂. We didn’t have time to go in the heritage centre at the battlefield but we may have learnt about the church in there. There’s never enough time is there. Take care both, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob & Gail, we watched this video last week but forgot to leave a comment, apologies! A fab looking place and such a shame the touring site is to go. Always love the walks, the detailed look around, maps and tips. Thanks and best wishes to you both. Helen & Dave
Thanks for your kind comments Dave & Helen. It’s a shame this unique site is being lost to lodges but I guess that’s where the money is. It’s a nice historic area to explore, pity the Battlefield steam railway wasn’t running. Gail wanted to visit Twycross Zoo but rain stopped play. Take care both, Rob & Gail 😀
Well done, another informative and great video.
Cheers Colin, your comment is much appreciated. It’s a lovely area to visit and the site is one to catch before it closes to tourers. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Rob & Gail you’ve done it again, another fantastic place to visit. My heart started to race the minute you walked near the railway line and things just got better, model railways and beer trains 😁🍻
Hi there Colin, Shame the touring area is closing down but at least our video highlights the attractions to visit if there is an alternative site in the area. If we had more time we would have walked to Shackerstone station and seen the trains. We knew you would be fascinated with the railway clips 😁 especially the beer train 😂. Cheers Rob & Gail 😀
Great video again.
Thank you Paul, much appreciated 👍. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
What a shame the touring side is going :(. Loved the video and the Carp were unbelievable! Ian
We think so too Ian, we really enjoyed it there. The pitch view, sunsets, feeding the ducks and those amazing Carp 🐟 . Pleased you enjoyed watching it all. Cheers, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Gail & Rob
Great video and what a fantastic site, but what a shame tourers have lost that fabulous view. Lots of historical site seeing which we love.
Take care
Hi Janet, It’s a good thing we booked this year and didn’t leave it on our waiting list. We had a very enjoyable stay at this unique site. We too appreciated the historic links in the area. As usual not enough time for everything and it was a shame the steam train wasn’t running. Thanks for watching 👍 and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
I lived a mile down the road at Cadeby, it is lovely to see ‘home’ from a visitors point of view, so pleased you enjoyed it xxx
Hello Ann, It really is a lovely historical area and we enjoyed our holiday very much. We enjoyed filming and showcasing some of the local attractions. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Another great vlog Rob and Gail , what a great view from that pitch !! Looks like there's plenty to do in that area with friendly wildlife too.
Thanks again 😊
Hello Pat, It was lovely to sit in our caravan and take in the changing views. We got drawn in by the atmosphere of Sunday afternoon. The sunsets and calmness were beautiful too. Gail loved feeding the fish and I always enjoy feeding the ducks 🦆. Had some good days out, shame the train wasn’t running though. Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Another excellent video, great to be out and about with you and Gail again, looking forward to the next one, cannot wait!
We’re off to the seaside next Marian. Pleased you enjoyed following our explorations around Market Bosworth and thank you for your kind words. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi ya Rob and Gail.
Fantastic vlog again guys.
What a lovely site. You've made some brilliant friends with the ducks and fish, loved you feeding them, thought they were going to take your hand off.
Beautiful walks and town was great.
To round your fantastic vlog off you went to the battlefield line, I'm going to make you a railway enthusiasts yet.
Thank you for the mention, Su and myself were really delighted.
Thanks Rob and Gail, you are a lovely pair. Brilliant to meet you one day.
Thumbs up thumped 👍
....Pete and Su....
Hello Pete and Su, Pleased our video got a thumping thumbs up 👍 . We knew you would enjoy seeing the Battlefield Line. It would have been great to have had a ride on the steam train but we did have a nice time filming it all and meeting the two friendly but camera shy volunteers.
It was a very good holiday and we loved our pitch view.
Feeding the Carp was a highlight and made Gail’s day, thanks to our chat with the park ranger.
Thanks as always for your support.
All the best,
Rob & Gail 😀
Lovely site tour Rob. Look's like there's plenty to do in the surrounding area. 👍 Graeme
Hello Graeme, We really enjoyed our stay at this site, it was quite different. Also enjoyed our days out too, so a thumbs up from us 👍. Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Hello you lovely two! Another smashing vid guys and a bit of decent weather for you. Gail i hope you looked after your little soldier after he got stung! 😮 Nasty that! Atb until next time!❤❤
Thank you very much Paul. We had a wonderful time 👍 and enjoyed it all, apart from the bee 🐝 sting, it really did hurt. When we got back to the caravan Gail gave me an antihistamine and the Sudacrem and I soon got over it. Thanks very much for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀😀
We did see the fish just after you said 1660 left hand side 👍
Well spotted Paul. We had a look back and saw it too so thanks for that 👍. It literally leaped right in front of us first time. Cheers for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Great vlog again Rob and Gail - shame about the site closing to tourers
Hi there Shaun and Sally, Hope you’re well. Pleased you enjoyed the video 👍. It was a fantastic holiday and we loved staying at the site. Such a blow to hear they are closing the touring area. We love a pitch with a good view. Nice area too. All the best and take care, Rob & Gail 😀
F.Y.I. I have just received my caravan back after a post sale 1 year warrantee damp repair. The caravan is a 2011. It has been of very good service, to honour their sales warranty ( Beechwood liesure Thirsk ). What was found on both sides of the caravan, was shrivelled sealant under the awning rails, obviously age related, that had shrunk and left gaps for the water to permeate. Interestingly enough, I got talking to another caravan owner in Castleton and he had the exact same problem on a previous caravan , that was also fixed, by replacing the sealant under the caravan awning rails both sides. My thinking is now, that if you have a caravan that is 10 years old or more, to get the awning rail sealant replaced at it's 10 year birthday or shortly after, leakage or not. It is much more inexpensive, than repairing the damage after the water has ingressed. The damage would have cost me north of £2000, if it was not under warranty. The caravan was 11 months into a 12 month warranty approximately. The other caravan owner sold his caravan after 2 years post repair to his friend, who has had it for a further 4 years with no further problems. This may be something that you would like to consider. Because the sealant underneath the awning rails ( both sides ) is hidden by the rails themselves, you have no indication of how good the sealant is until it leaks. Your caravan is about the age that this may start ?
Hi Steve, I haven’t come across any water ingress. We keep our caravan in its own garage so it’s only exposed to the elements when we go on holiday. I’m hoping less exposure to the elements equals less ageing to the caravan structure. Being Alu-tech construction, the awning rails are part of the structure and hold the sides and roof together. This can be seen in Bailey factory tour videos. Whilst I see your point of view Steve, I would be very reluctant to disturb the awning rails on our caravan. I clean the caravan every time we return home, meaning I should hopefully spot any gaps and rectify before problems arise. Thanks very much for pointing this out though 👍, I will be keeping a close eye on the rails and for any leaks. Cheers Rob & Gail 😀
Looks a great location
It was Andy and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. Shame the touring area is making way for more lodges, those waterfront pitches are great 👍. Hope you’re ok. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Brilliant little place that, and you got to go in a signal box... always wanted to know how difficult then levers are to move... and yes vacuum cleaner fish lol
Hi Paul, Another good holiday. We couldn’t resist the invitation to look in the signal box 👍. Although an untidy workshop now it still maintains a cosy feel with the old cast iron stove. He did say the levers with the shorter handles worked an electric switch to make them easier to pull. Feeding the fish was Gail’s highlight of the day 😃. Thanks for joining us again Paul and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob n Gail. Well I thought I was going to see you in a peddle boat.😂 This looks a great site shame it is going to be changed. I guess Statics make more money! Glad you had a nice time. Thanks Phil🙂👍
Hey Phil, Hope you’re good. Thursday was going to be pedalo day and Twycross Zoo visit but the rain let us down. We were very surprised to hear the touring site is being lost to lodges. They are very pricey 🤑 so I guess you’re right Phil. We’re pleased we chose this year to book this site off our ever growing list. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
It can be really busy and I mean busy in the summer.
We had a lovely time at this site and Sunday afternoon was very entertaining. We also enjoyed the peace and tranquility the week days gave us. Can imagine its popularity as the weather warms up though! Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Great content and delivery as usual Rob.
Looking at you pitched up nose in made me think if you’d reversed in ( and maybe had an awning), it would be difficult reaching the waste drain, and the fresh water I guess.
Thank you kindly Howard 👍.
I see your point about reversing in. I imagine they expect everyone would want to face the splendid view hence, placing tap and drain at the pitch entrance.
Had we an awning and parked the car on the other side, the grey waste pipe would have been in the way. I would have had to move the pipe to drive in and out (the fresh water pipe would run around the perimeter).
Take care and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
I live 10 minutes from bosworth
You live in a very nice part of the country Adi 👍. We’ve never been to Market Bosworth before and really enjoyed exploring the historic area. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Rob & Gail 😀
What a fantastic pitch, such a shame they're replacing them with lodges.
It was an amazing pitch Carol 👍. We were surprised to learn of the site closure at the end of 2024. We had a fantastic time and are pleased we have been. The lodges are beautiful but very expensive. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Oh I forgot to mention did you have a fish supper them fish Gail was feeding would feed a small village😂. Phil
You certainly didn’t need a fishing rod Phil ! 😂😂. It was Gail’s holiday highlight 😃. Cheers R&G
Hi Gail and Rob, is the site open to day visitors when you where there, only we want a quiet-ish pitch. We have booked the same pitch as you. Had a look on TH-cam and it looks like mayhem or is that no longer the case.
Hi Nigel, We’ve just read from 2022 the site no longer allow day visiting general public access to the site. When we arrived Sunday lunch time we hit the weekend holiday makers but by the evening it had quietened down and for the rest of the week too. We prefer a quiet pitch but were taken in by the lakeside activities and actually enjoyed the afternoon spectating from our caravan. We hope you have a nice stay there and some decent weather. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
what a shame we're losing the touring site! I noticed you were using your cars satnav, are you able to input your caravans dimensions?
Hi John, we had this site on our to do list for a couple of years and we’re glad we did it this year ! We had no idea the touring section was going.
Unfortunately not able to input dimensions into the sat nav. In settings I have ‘fastest’, ‘shortest’ or ‘econ’. I have it set to econ and this chooses main routes but there has been the very rare occasion when it wanted to take me along a narrow road. I ignored the instruction and carried on driving so it recalculated and put me back on track. I always check routes on Google satellite and street view beforehand though.
I did have the sat nav updated in 2023 but bear in mind my car is a 2011 model. Overall I am really pleased with the system. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob, on the web site it says Adult only site but there is play equipment for children, is the play area for the lodges.
Hi David, It says family touring park on their website lakesideholidays.uk
So not sure where you’ve seen adults only. There were children on the beach on Sunday when we arrived but it was very quiet mid week.
Brilliant site and area to explore. Can highly recommend 👍. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
@@robswiseways5697 hi Rob, sorry my mistake, I looked at Bosworth caravan park which is very close by
@@user-me9um1lc3j No probs David. Cheers, Rob
