- I SMACKED THE VAN !
2 HUGE MIRRORS And a reversing camera just ain't enough for some people What a start to this weekend with a pranged van !
It was back to Thetford forest caravan and motorhome club site for a stop off on the way to a beautiful CL Site in Wymondham , Not far from Norwich , Norfolk , Just £20 for the night Cavick house farm was a lovely little site ( NO FACILITIES ) with a little gift shop on site selling Stationary , Cards , Cakes , and as many eggs as you can eat from a vending machine!
We had the BEST FISH N’ CHIPS to date , totally unexpected from a tiny chip shop with barely any signage , Highly recommend G.W Woodbines & Sons - We gave it a frenchie rating of 10/10 !!
So with a village close by , 25 min walk or 5 min bike ride from the site , & a beautiful abbey & old railway en route , this site was really convenient and one we will return too

Hi Mike and Kirsty, the Wymondham CL site looked lovely. Kirsty did great on the fish and chip run and didn't they look yum. Oh and the cakes look so tasty. Nice cafe and gift shop on site. Great video thank you for sharing x Julie and Tony x
hi julie & tony that fish n chips was the best yet ! kirsty did well on the chippy run &’we really enjoyed it , the cakes were nice from the farm shop too ,a lovely little CL
thanks guys enjoy the rest of your week
mike & kirsty x
Glad you enjoyed my home town, woodbines has always been a great chippy!
didn’t know you were from there jon , have you been to that CL ?
loved the fish chips best we’ve ever had
@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel no not been to the CL as to close to home😎 although have been to the café for lunch 😁 I walk the dog most days around there
Kirsty went to the fish shop😮 Nice vid as always you two nice guys!😊👌
thanks paul , she don’t want to go again though she said once was enough 😂
thanks for watching 👍😀
The fish and chips looked amazing!! X
it really was nice ! thanks for watching
Brilliant Vlog! This site is going on the must visit list. Forgot just how beautiful Wymondham is, chips looked great too. Gutted for you about the dent but once your man has worked is magic you’ll never know. Kirsty is a dab hand on the chip run but Mike you’ll have to work harder on the table set up 😂😂 table wrong way and NO PLATES!! Don’t think you’ll get any complaints on Kirsty’s Chippy music 👍 Top drawer. Helen & Dave 👍
cheers guys yes we thought of you on that site it was tucked away but close enough to the town ideal place really , hopefully the dent is fixable , so annoying though! kirsty did well on the bike she’s got herself a job 😂
cheers both have a great day 👍😀
Accidents happen guys we are only human. Hopefully the dent man will get that out.
The site looks stunning, can see why lots of people go.
Can't beat a good fish n chips 😊xx
yes dunno how i managed it tho with 2 huge mirrors and a reversing camera 😂 got to see the funny side though , fish n chips in the van goes down well 👍😀
thanks guys & safe travels
Brill video Mike, you let yourself down getting the table set the wrong way round. 😂 Well done Kirsty on the fish & chip run 😉ATB to you both, Perrin & Marilyn. 😊
hi perrin & marilyn , i know i can’t do anything right lately 😂😂 , yes kirsty did a great job fetching the tea , although she doesn’t want to do it again !
thanks again for watching and commenting
have a good week
mike & kirsty 👍
Ouch!! Poor van!! X
yes it was a shame but hopefully fixable 👍😀
I hate those speed bumps at Thetford , as you know we have to go over them quite often. Sorry about the neighbours at Thetford , hope we didn't disturb you when we set off early. We gave you mention in tonights video so hopefully we are forgiven 😂. Bad luck with the dent the Mike , it's a pain when that happens. I never tire of looking at those big Norfolk Skies. Thanks for another great CL option , we love Wymondham , best wishes Helen and Martin.
hi guys & thanks to you for telling us about the abbey and the station , when we arrived & walked past track we chuckled and said martin will be along in a min driving the train ! loved the site and area & currently watching dave & helen mentioning you guys informing them of priory farm , i think it’s only us 3 channels that cover norfolk ! another lovely looking place we’d never even seen thanks to both you and @caravantastic 👍😀
Oops dint in the van, another great video looks a lovely site, fish and chips looked so tasty 👍
hi andrew & karen , yes a lovely site that was , hopefully the dent will come out the dent man is coming Wednesday so fingers crossed 🤞
have a good weekend guys 👍😀
The dent, I have just pulled a dent out the door of my Kuga
It was easy. No special tools.
A standard hot glue gun
Pair of pliers
On a sunny day park your van to warm the metal up..
Dry clean area completely.
Apply glue with hot gun to dent cavity.
Allow glue to dry on the paint for 5 minutes.
Use pliers to grip glue and pull glue towards you.
Re apply a few times, I pulled my dent out . Worth a try.
It doesn't damage the paintwork.
that’s good to know that yours came out ok , thank for the information and thanks for watching the video
Another fantastic site and great fish and chips, what more could you want? The dent is annoying but I’m sure you’ll get that sorted. It was lovely to see blue sky. Thanks for sharing another great video.
hi sylv yeah so frustrating hitting the van but these things happen , hopefully it’s fixable , yes blue sky what was that all about 😂 we were shocked 😮
thanks again for watching
take care
mike & kirsty
Great vid as per usual you guys. Sorry to see the dent…just one those things I’m sure you’ll get sorted. The other tip I’ve heard and tried for the sliding door is a squash ball in the top runner - works well! Keep em coming you guys 👍
thanks for the tip will try it out , yes shame about the dent , just one of those things , got to try & see the funny side but i think it’s fixable , thanks for watching the video and commenting
much appreciated 👍
mike & kirsty
Try a tennis ball in front of bottom door runner works a treat for Ower van to old door we're ya need it 😉
thanks for that, much appreciated i’ll try it out 👍😀
Ouch for the van and a lovely video.
thank you & yes it was unfortunate but fixable , thanks for watching 👍
Thats 2 sites on the list for next year , been to Thetford years ago but its changed, the cl looks fab and as for the fish and chips 😮👌👌👌👌👌x
oh the fish n chips were something else ! really nice 👌 👍😀 , thetford is a nice site as long as you don’t mind no facilities
thanks for watching the video
mike & kirsty 👍😀
Ouch, not good about the dent, hope it is an easy fix for you. Rgds Gary and Julie.
hi gary & julie , hopefully yes they can do something with it , more annoyed with myself than anything but these things happen so just got to see the funny side and forget
about it
thanks for watching the video 👍
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel I know the feeling - Scratched all the window on some overhanging branches because I was too busy looking at a pond in the New Forest. That'll learn me. ATB to you both, G&J.
Thetford site is always a safe and super bet . Bad luck crunching the van ,ah well it happens to most of us sometime. That CL was a lovely little find , well done Kirsty, also congratulations on your first fish n chip run and as you managed to get the best fish n chips ever you can perhaps do it again 🤬okay perhaps not 😘. Good video both of you most enjoyable as always ,take care 🚐👍
hi eric yes kirsty did a great job on the chippy run although she does not want to do it again 😂 , it’s quite stressful actually , hoping it comes out right and the angles are ok etc , ( not filming the pavement the whole way 😂) it was a nice little site we liked it a lot there , poor van got dented but i’m sure it’s fixable , thanks again eric take care and stay safe
all the best
mike & kirsty
Another cracking little campsite to add to the list, thanks! Fish & chips looked fab and luxury to have them cooked if beef fat - can’t beat that 😋😋 Thanks for the tip about the flexishade, brilliant idea, mine arrived the other week (after watching your video recommending them). Safe travels, Debs 🚐🍻
hi debs yes very tasty that fish n chips best we’ve had so far , glad you like the shades , thanks again for watching
safe travels 👍😀
mike & kirsty
What better than Wells!!
yes! we were shocked 😮
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel it did look nice though.
Another interesting video - thank you. I only live in Attleborough, about 9 miles from Wymondham, and although I have been to the Abbey was not aware of the CL or the fish and chip shop.
thanks bill , a really nice area we loved the little rail station and abbey , the chippy was a tiny little place could hardly tell it was there , enjoyed our stay there , thanks for watching
mike & kirsty
Hi guys
Just back from Grange Farm looks like a lot of changes going to happen there ,
Well that’s it Mike looks like U will need another ET ,
Kirsty looked so happy on your ! ! New bike 🫣
Kirsty that music choice for the chip shop run reminded me of On The Buses 😮🤣😆
Another Gr8 video with a few of the shots I like ,
Keep the vids coming (the hard work does pay off )😉👍🏻
Keith,Michelle + Freedom the VW Camper-van .
hi keith & michelle yeah we heard that they are selling off the land apparently or sold it already , wonder if it will stay as it is , kirsty never wants to do the chippy run again 😂 , not sure why she seemed pretty comfortable doing it , on the buses🎵 😂😂 👍 , lovely little site though in a nice area
thanks again for watching
happy camping 👍😀
Hallo to you two and the two dogs. Don´t worry about that small dent...as it is not in direct line of view when looking at the van you two are the only ones that know that it´s there. Stay well and stay safe.
hi roger yes that’s true it can’t be seen looking directly from behind but side on it does look pretty bad , thanks again for watching the video and commenting
all the best
mike and kirsty 👍
Hi Mike and Kirsty another lovely video nice to see Kirsty cam fetching fish and chips Don't worry about dent Iam sure it will come out we have all done it By the way are you going to Joe's birthday weekend with Posh Cats on September? Tony b😊
@@tonybrookes5892 hi tony yeah how annoying but got to laugh otherwise it stresses us out too much in the end , we did say we are going to joe’s birthday but not sure about the dates now we have to check tomorrow then i’ll have to let trev know
Pity about the dent, could have been a lot worse though. Looked a nice campsite, but remember to have the plates next time 😂
yes i forgot the plates 😂 cant do nothing right these days 😂👍
hopefully the dent will come out , but easily could have been worse yes !
thank graeme safe travels
mike & kirsty
Fabulous Vlog again. You collected the most important cargo Mike 🤣 Your camera angles always look good. Two sites and a wedding 😃 Well done with the chippy run Kirsty. Great CL choice. We need some lessons from you Kirsty, you know how to pick ‘em. 😃🚐💙 Trev n Sue xx
hi trev & sue , yes kirsty did great on the bike and the chips were still warm! 😀
it was a really nice CL in a convenient location , really enjoyed that one , thanks for the nice comment much appreciated

mike & kirsty 👍😀

hi guys was really nice meeting you both , glad you like the site and around the Norfolk / Suffolk area’s theres so many sites dotted all over the place , thanks again for watching the videos and safe travels
happy camping!
all the best
mike & kirsty 👍😀
Regular tune for the fish and chips please , it’s your trademark
yea i’ve used very that tune for the chip run since i started the channel , thanks for watching the videos 👍😀
Table prep poor, video very good, dog licking your ears and face hilarious🤣. ATB Ruth K
😂 kirsty agreed with the table prep , terrible , id better stick to the bike 😂 zola is a nightmare !
thanks for watching ruth have a good week 👍😀
Well done Kirsty 👏🤩 we'll be going to this chippy for sure!.. that looked awesome 👌
I hope the dent man can sort that dent! 😖 wondering if it's Steve the dent man from Red Lodge.. he's excellent 👍
Enjoying the videos as always! 😎🤩
haha yes it definitely will be steve , we’ve used him for years , let’s see if he’s up for the task although he might not want to appear on cam which of course i totally appreciate , but i’m sure he’ll do a great job
thanks again for watching and commenting 👍😀
Nice Site not far from us! Looks like you had a good Licking!! 🤣🤣Shame about the Dent!!
hi pete really liked the area , yes i get a lot of good photography from laying on the ground but dogs think i want to play 😂😂
Hi Mike and Kirsty.
We have three chippies within one mile of our house, but none are very good! The best fish n' chips we have had were found in Bude, North Devon whilst on a week's stopover in the van.
Great vlog, as always and once again you found a cracking site. Can I ask how far it is from the town? It looks like a place that we'd enjoy.
Sorry about the bump!.....easily done, easily fixed.
hi rob yes a shame about the bump but hopefully fixable , yes that was the best fish n chips we’ve ever had , the site is tucked away but to walk into town would be about 25 mins i’d say and just a 5 min drive , really liked it there actually it was a pleasant place to be in
thanks again for watching
mike & kirsty
Great vid Mike. You may remember I asked your opinion of the Vantage and availability as I was downsizing from a 7.5 metre Burstner , needing to get down to 3500. !! Your experience with a similar situation we follow ,and although we couldn’t find a Vantage we have found a nearly new Devon Sapphire on a Sprinter intending to make our first tour around Suffolk and Norfolk so you have become our travel and site guide for this area. Intrigued on your latest vid by your fly screen , have you any info please. Hope to see you and Kirsty on your travels as we intend to start in Sept. Look out for a grey haired old b --ger driving a Devon and I’ll buy you Fish and Chips
hi steve yes of course i remember and a great choice of van ! never seen one on a sprinter before , only ever seen those on fiat citroen peugeot etc , but we love a devon van , superb converters and we wish you many happy travels , the fly screen was a shade here’s the link to the website and thanks again for watching our videos 👍😀

Thanks

Hi ya Mike and Kirsty.
Wow proud of Kirsty. Sorry Mike you had a fail with the table.🤣
Should be able to get the dent out from the outside. Lots of firms do it.
Looks a great site, went to the station last year on the poppy line, very nice.
Great vlog guys. Breath of fresh air looking at your antics.
Stay safe you 4.
Pete and Su.
hi pete and su , yes that was 2 fails ! the plates and the table , id better stick to the bike in the future 😂 , yes unfortunate with the dent but not the end of the world , could have been worse
thanks again for watching and commenting
much appreciated
mike and kirsty 👍😀
I bought one of those door stop wedges for our IH, works well Mike. One piece of advice, Amazon sell a metal one, about &15. Once fitted, very discreet. Hope you get the dent taken out without too much expense.
thanks for the info about the door wedge i’ll take a look , yes so annoying about the dent ! these things happen but i think it will be fixable , we’ll see next week when the dent guy comes
thanks again for watching
mike & kirsty
Hopefully you get inspired to cross that channel soon 😂 Europe awaits ❤ get vlogs X
hopefully yes would love too , thank you for watching the video and commenting
mike & kirsty 👍😀
That looks nice site. Aren't you going to get Kirsty a bike. I love cycling
Great video again
hi david yes i love cycling too , we share the bike as one of us has to be with the dogs in the van , they don’t like being left alone and i don’t trust them either !
cheers
mike & kirsty 👍
Loved Kirsty’s chip run music. The fish looked beautiful. Another great campsite. Take care Gill
hi gill it was a really nice area , kirstys music was spot on !
thanks again for watching the videos
all the best
mike & kirsty
Looks a great place to stay and EAT lol
oh most definitely lol 👍😀
thanks for watching the video
mike & kirsty
I’ve got the black bomber Mike , maybe do a video on how to open it ?’ I just cut through, it’s the biz , cheers
yeah it’s a pain to open , but once your there it’s the best cheese ever !
Mate! Absolutely gutted about the van… I know what you’re like with bodywork care cos I’m the same… but that’s a dent master job easy enough at least it’s not on a seam. Site looked great too (CL) and the chips… Kirsty did well on the bike but I think she’s better at the table 😂 cheers both.
yeah what a twat , reverse camera and mirrors and still wack it ! hopefully he’ll be able to sort it , yeah it was a lovely little site out the way but close to town ,
cheers both 👍😀
Great vlog guys well done Kirsty on the chippy run 👍👍👍
thank you much appreciated 👍😀
mike & kirsty
I know that dent would be annoying but the truth is it's nothing really a dent repair and you won't ever know it was there, I got really lucky once reversing our van, I reversed and for some reason never slowed down and hit Lidl so hard stuff must of fell off the shelves and it was all taken on our tow bar , if we lived over that way we would definitely go to some of the sites you vlog they look 10 out of 10 places, what silly duffer would complain about the chip shop music , good looking fish and chips, and I was one who strongly said Kirsty shouldn't do the chip shop run and the result of that was, no plates out and the table the wrong way round 😂😂😂😂it's not just me then, another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍
😂😂😂 cheers stephen , yeah so frustrating when we hit our vans , surprisingly easy to do though , kirsty wouldn’t have done it though of course only i could have ! and of course the table facing the wrong way and no plates out , cant do anything right 😂😂 but must say glad i wasn’t in lidl when you done your bit , imagine seeing a tow bar come through the wall 😂 the fish n chips was really nice and the original music will be returning!
enjoy the rest of your weekend ( loved the oyster clips 👍😂 ) aurevoir for now
toodle pip 🥂🍾
Nice site, nice area and that fish n chips looked amazing, so much so, i've just had to order in a chippy tea😆 Thanks for sharing
hi guys yes amazing fish n chips really enjoyed it in beef dripping , hope you enjoyed yours too 👍😀
Came past thetford today on way to hemsby hammered it down with rain all the way from Shropshire hopefully better weather after weekend.last time I went to Wyndham we went on the old train and looked around the church
yeah this weather is nuts , non stop all day ! we really enjoyed that little place , conveniently located 👍
thanks for watching
mike & kirsty
Fish n Chips looked really tidy
Emailed you regarding the Door stop.
Have one fitted on my Van, works well but you fix it to the top rail not the outside one
thanks for the tip much appreciated 👍 will give that a go
cant beat fish n chips in the van !
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel if you ever head up to the North East you need to check out Neptunes in Seahouses, amazing Fish & Chips
Nice couple of sites and vid Mike. I'm sure the dent will buff out!
hi mike i’ve got the dent man coming on monday so we’ll see him work he’s magic fingers crossed 🤞
thanks again for watching and commenting
Looks a brilliant site! After never being to this side of the country until we we went to Pinewoods we are looking to spending a few weeks touring Norfolk next year and this site looks perfect 👍
hi alana yeah there’s so many places in and around norfolk and suffolk dotted all over the place , plenty of little ones like that one tucked away but conveniently located near a town 👍
thanks again for watching and commenting

Wyndham looks nice..
yes that was a lovely area

Where was that pig aroma site ? Are there any showers?
@@griswald7156 it was a no facilities site the one in wymondham
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel thats tough i liked it…..im searching for luxury facilities in coastal north Norfolk to hell with the expense….as we dont get to them there parts often like..
Hi. Brilliant to see you both again. EXCELLENT video. I'm embarrassed to say we don't really know how to find CL sites. How do you go about it?? Please don't change your 'chippy' music as it makes us laugh. Anyway take care and thank you for sharing your adventures. All the very best. Kindest regards VANESSA AND COLIN WELLS
hi thanks for watching our videos, becoming members of the caravan and motorhome club site and camping and caravanning club will definitely help finding these little sites with their apps and paraphernalia they send you , However , you don’t have to be a member to stay in most of them , google maps and a simple “ camp sites” or just “camping” search , will bring them all up , our videos cover mostly norfolk but youtube is a great platform for searching these little sites providing other youtubers have covered them in your area or the areas you wish to stay , i will be back on the bike and the chippy music will remain the same as it has been since the beginning 😉😀👍
thanks for watching our videos
much appreciated

Hi Mike and Kirtsty another great video,well kirsty on the fish and chip run they did look good 😊.Sorry to hear about the dent Mike i know how you feel really annoyed with yourself 😠 as i reversed into the house 🏡 2 weeks ago in my car and its got reversing bleepers ! My hubby is not happy had a quote 300 pound . Look forward to your next video.Have a good week Maz and Stu x
hi maz yes it was sooo frustrating , silly mistake but me being hasty and always in a rush , it was inevitable, luckily it’s fixable and not that bad , sorry to hear you did the same . i’ve no excuses either with a reverse cam and huge mirrors 😂 oh well , we have to laugh about it really life is too short
thanks for watching the video and commenting

mike & kirsty
Oh no ! Shame about the dent but sometimes these things just happen. Enjoyed this video just like all the others 😊
yes i thought it would have been worse as the impact was quite a bit but luckily it wasn’t too terrible , thanks for watching and commenting
mike & kirsty 👍
You know what they say…if you want to avoid damage ,stay at home and keep the van in the garage..
that’s true yes 👍
Great Vlog now that Kirsty has had a test run on the Chippy run, 0.5 miles is hardly a proper chippy run is it 😂😂 I think you let Kirsty do the Chippy run the next time you are Well Next The Sea what do you think Mike time for another vote 😂😂
totally agree !! … i thought the same thing , not far enough and she hardly got out of breath! 😂👍
i’ll announce another vote soon and see how it goes , ( and i’ll remove the bikes battery 😂 )
thanks again for watching our videos
all the best

@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel you will be in trouble Mike 🤣

Nice one guys
Does Kirsty like fish and chips with her salt 😂😂
😂😂 i never noticed that until i was working on the video and i thought OMG! No wonder she drank a lot of water that day !
thanks again for watching and commenting

I liked the site until you showed me the sleeping policemen…
