    Guys I think you had the patience of a saint! All that traffic and not being able to move must have been so frustrating for you both!! Here’s hoping you don’t get too many days like that again! Take care, Best wishes Sue, Brian and The Westies👍🐶🐾🐾🐾👍

      We're not patient people but what could we do really. Least we were parked up when it happened, not trying to make our way out. That would have been awful! Yes, hopefully we won't have another day like that for a while.😁 Have a good weekend. Helen, Karl and Nanook.

    Finally catching up, had a roller coaster week! Sorry to see you guys had such a day stuck in the middle! I don't know but I think satnavs should have a route options for motorhomes! Any felt like you at least had nice walk at the end.

    • @roaminginraymond
      @roaminginraymond  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Our satnav is for motorhomes but they're not accurate, even though it has our measurements in. Yeah, it was a nice park up although you're not meant to park there overnight we don't think, but we were too tired to try to find somewhere else. Hope you have a good weekend.

  • @ManyFunAdventures
    @ManyFunAdventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh wow. You had some bad luck there didn't you? What sat nav are you using? We use a Garmin Camper which 'should' never take our Motorhomes onto those roads. I also use Google Maps sometimes at the same time, but the Garmin is No.1 because it knows the size and weight of the Motorhome. Really rotten luck though when all that traffic suddenly came that way. At least you can make a cuppa and watch telly while all those car drivers are stuck in a huge non-moving queue and stressing. lol.

    • @roaminginraymond
      @roaminginraymond  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We do have a proper satnav, it's just that we saw the sign for the RSPB reserve and thought we could have a pitstop there beens we couldn't stop at Swanage. We do use Google Maps with the proper satnav too as satnavs rely on postcodes and Google takes you to the door 99.9% of the time. Satnav is still dumb though trying to send us down 6 foot 6 roads! We're on our third satnav now as Karl keeps swapping lol. Yeah, least we could chill while the traffic chaos was going on.

    • @ManyFunAdventures
      @ManyFunAdventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@roaminginraymond This Garmin one that we have actually accepts coordinates too, which takes you to the exact spot rather than just a post code which can cover a large area. Worth it's weight in gold, although it was a bit expensive to be honest. Still glad we've got it now though.

    • @roaminginraymond
      @roaminginraymond  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ours is a Tomtom Truck one but it sends us down some right dodgy roads, like the one we nearly got jammed down in the Lakes lol. Although that could have been the Snooper we had, I'm not sure. Karl doesn't want to change again but he might change his mind at some point.
