You two do make me smile, "we're off on us walk today" says Rob and hes off leaving Gail trailing behind with the camera, "come on through these nettles" 😂😂😂😂 wonderful! 🎉🎉
Gail’s used to me by now (she says rolling her eyes) 🤣. I very often have to go back and rescue her 😂. I love the great outdoors and I’m afraid I get carried away exploring 🫢
Thanks Rob, recently stayed here and could not get the TV to tune 😒 then watched this video again to see how you'd placed your aerial and voila! Worked a treat ☺️ love your videos, been a godsend for us newbies 👍🏻
Hello Emma, Hope you had a happy stay at The Happy Pheasant. We loved it there and are pleased to hear our videos have been a great help to you including the little things like getting a picture on your tv 😀. Hope you are settling in to caravanning life, it’s brill isn’t it 👍. Thanks for tuning in and all the very best to you, Rob & Gail
Hi there Rob & Gail, cracking video full of really useful info from start to finish. The Happy Pheasant looks a lovely site, and the peace & quiet is very appealing plus £100 is excellent value. Fab top tip on carrying a shovel, I wouldn’t have given that another thought but how simple & effective for levelling the van. Thanks for sharing, ATB Dave & Helen 👍
Thank you Dave & Helen, Sometimes you just can’t beat a private site. We spent ages chatting with the owners and found them really friendly and they were thrilled we were posting the very first TH-cam site review. Lovely place. Ha yes the shovel, one to add to the tool kit there Dave ✔️ Take care, Rob & Gail
Thank you very much Simon. Yes a lovely site with a warm welcome. A great countryside retreat with a view. Thanks for tuning in and commenting. All the best, Rob
Hi Andrew we were pleasantly surprised. We do like an open view and it makes a change from club suburbia. We had a good holiday there and can recommend it. Thanks for tuning in and all the best Rob & Gail
Hope the happy pensioners enjoyed our happy pheasant video. We had a happy time there and yes those Rhododendrons looked very happy with themselves didn’t they. Happy to hear from you again Peter and Susan 😀 and Happy regards, Rob & Gail 👍
Thanks Rob, as a fellow caravaner on the other side of the world it’s always interesting to see how it’s done in other places, I don’t think we’ll ever get the chance to come and see your wonderful countryside so thanks for sharing. Maybe one day you might be able to come and check out my camping back yard…Cheers from NZ
Greetings to you from across the globe and thank you for tuning in Graeme. It’s a pleasure to hear my channel has reached NZ. I doubt we will ever venture further than the UK. TH-cam is the closest we will get to seeing how others caravan… All the best to you, Rob
Really well made little film that Rob the site looks nice and good value, amazing to see those rhododendrons out there eh , I think we've lifted that bridge a couple of times on our boat holidays.. oh and well done to the camera lady wife 👍
Huge compliment thank you very much. We enjoyed making our little video adding as many different clips as we could. It’s great to come across interesting finds like the beautiful rhododendrons and we didn’t realise the canal was so close either. Must be a very relaxing way to spend a holiday cruising along the canal. Oh and 📽Gail says thank you. All the best, Rob
Hello Paul, We also found Happy Pheasant on Pitch Up and as you can tell from our video we had a very enjoyable stay there . The owners were lovely too 👍. We’ve had to hack our way through many a footpath over the years, it’s very annoying 😠. Thank you very much for watching and for your comment. All the best, Rob & Gail
Excellent review and vlog Rob, well produced and presented. Another nice site that’s now been added to our “Rob Recommended “ sites. Pity no showers yet tho but can get round that by bringing the tin bath from home. Notice how easy it was to attach your power cable to car. My VW Touareg is very similar to your Audi and I have a factory tow bar but the 13pin socket is buried under the bumper and it’s a hands and knees job to crawl under to plug in and twist. Thanks again for all your vlogs - always a pleasure to watch Howard
Well thank you very much Howard, I think we’re getting the hang of editing these videos. We’re both old enough to remember tin baths ! And Gail says Matey bath flakes in a box too ! We quite enjoy our caravan showers. I’m surprised your VW electrical socket is situated in a awkward place. Not sure what year the tow bar design changed but the socket is now fixed to the tow bar neck and very easy to access, even easier than mine. I rather like the new Touareg with its Innovision cockpit. Thanks for tuning in and all the best to you, Rob & Gail
@@robswiseways5697 Matey eh?… that’s def a blast from the past . Mithered my mother to death for Matey but had to make do with coal Tar soap and Carbolic !
It’s a great little site isn’t it, with lovely owners. Some good walks and plenty to explore in the area, we had a great time there 👍. Thanks very much for dropping by again Caroline & Daz. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Top cover of a lovely looking site congrats. Your sat nav seems very accurate is something you down loaded or is it as comes with the car. we use the avtex CAMaC tourer and i have lost some faith in it as on 2 occasions i have had to ignore its suggestions , and have found our self's in tricky situations despite several updates. good that the site can give those final approach details.
Hi Keith, Thanks very much for the compliment. We had a very relaxing stay there. My sat nav is as it comes. There have been a few occasions when I didn’t want to take a turning the sat nav suggested and by ignoring the turning it recalculated the route. In my route options I can select ‘fast’ ‘short’ or ‘econ’. I have mine set to econ. I also have all the routes criteria switched on such as motorways, etc. It always chooses main roads in order of priority starting with motorways working down to local roads. Different systems will have different options in the settings menu. Best regards. Rob
Unfortunately my days of walking are long gone due to severe foot problems so if you have any tips for little adventures on a jolly scooter that would be great.
Sorry to hear you have limited walking Jan. We will try and point out scooter friendly paths where possible in our future videos. A good example is our Hawkshead Hall video where we mention the easy wide flat path around Tarn Hows. Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Peter, We haven’t ventured that far south with the caravan. We don’t go away for more than five nights at the moment and we would prefer to stay longer if travelling such a long distance. It’s a beautiful part of the country and we definitely want to visit one day. Best regards, Rob & Gail 👍😀

That's my horses. I'm glad Clover could help with directions 😂😂
That’s lovely Amanda, thanks for letting us know. We remember that day well and Clover was most obliging 👍😀 . Best regards, Rob & Gail
Another informative video Rob. Great site we've been twice before and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. The owners are a lovely couple.
Thank you very much Simon. Yes a lovely site with a warm welcome. A great countryside retreat with a view. Thanks for tuning in and commenting. All the best, Rob
Great video, another nice “non club” site you have found.

Thank you very much Peter, much appreciated 👍. We really enjoyed it at The Happy Pheasant, a very good holiday. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Crikey! Them there’s right cracking Rodedendiniums! Not ever been to Malpass though often been near when working the area. Cheers!

Hi will do I'm going on pitch 14 can't wait 😊
Great pitch choice 😃Hope the sun shines for you too.
I'm going on that pitch in November 😀
How lovely Dawn. We hope you enjoy it there. Be sure to say hi to Jeremy and Anita from Gail and myself 😀
Found this site on pitch up and it didnt disapoint ,.we did a similar walk but found some paths very overgrown
