Don't know why people go to places like this but i'm glad they do. Site I found on the fringe of the Cotswolds had 4 vans on it Easter weekend. Absolute bliss! No, i'm not telling you where it was.
Thanks for watching. Ok, suit yourself haha... I know what you mean though, but it's a nice site. My worst nightmare would be going on a small site when it was me and 4 other caravans that were there as a group and all knew each other thinking it was a great idea to have a campfire, then someone pulls out a guitar and starts singing until 3 in the morning, thinking I should thank them for entertaining me lol.... Each to their own...
I I do like Ferry Meadows, only been once where I met Graham, and the other side was closed, good to see what the other side is like, it is huge, my lad would love that park, so will have to go back again very soon. Thanks for another great video!
Another great Vlog Graham, Ferry Meadows is one of our go to sites being only an hour away. I love the idea of one side being for the Motorhomes (Dark Side) and the other for Caravans.
Hiya..... really enjoyed the video Graham ..... looks a great place to be too... we can't wait to get to our van this Friday... five days of bliss lol... best wishes once again Paolo and Roger aka 'The Camp Caravanners' x
Great to see you out and about. I like the caravan or motorhome pitch idea. I propose we also have an option for non electric pitch so the wardens lock off the electric unless you want the odd night then you can pay for one night electric only. Surely that would keep the pitch costs and the club electric bills down ? Eco warriors rule 🤣🤣 Trev
Massive site, I now have montion sickness and have to sit on a newspaper, glad to see the electric bike is doing well, you will have to update us on the bike rack and how the towing went with the bikes on the back ofthe caravan.
Ha ha!! Yeah, thats right!!! Get rid of all those motor-homers...........ha ha. Love your humour.........oops, not a truer word said than in jest...............ha ha anyway. Love it.
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, it doesn't count if you just watch. Having said that, I'm not sure it counts for me either as it's an electric bike 😂
Very impressed with the camera stability Graham is that filmed with the latest GoPro for a minute I thought you were on a hover board, also very impressed you kept your cool when the kid on the bmx cut you up 🤣and very very impressed that you had your name printed on your helmet…..nice 👍
Thanks for watching. Yeah had to stay cool, his Dad was behind me :-) Yes, it is a GoPro Hero 10 Black, mounted on my handle bar. I'm please with the results. It has an horizon level thingy too
Give an old man an electric bike and he shoots around the camp site like its the Tour De France. Thanks for the vid, great to see the site as its only 40 mins down the road for me, so would make a great short break.
Hi Graham as you are carrying bikes on the back of your caravan and even though the mounting points are factory fitted, keep an eye on the rear panel where it joins the roof. Just that a mate of mine has a bike rack fitted and the rear panel cracked in two or three places where it meets the roof still ongoing with a claim.
That's not a bad idea keeping Motorhomes and Caravans separated I know we were not on a club site and the spacing between pitches were a bit too close but the site management put a massive continental motorhome next to us they reversed onto pitch meaning their door was right next to Our awning we felt a bit claustrophobic and it felt you didn't have much privacy so yes to keeping us separate.
Do swans speak goose 🦆?! 😂 A slight departure from the normal vlog style and it was excellent 👌👌. Our update - Despite ordering our new caravan in Nov '21 and being told it would arrive in Feb '22, and then late Mar '22 and then mid-Apr '22, it's now looking like our Swift Conquerer will arrive in May (maybe) (??) anyway, we emptied out our van in readiness for a PDI and handover that never happened. Maybe the sites are empty because people like us have had to cancel!. The dealer will say, but you've still got your old van ... 🤷🤦 Anyway, a great vlog and we really enjoyed this. 👍👍
Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear about the continued delays, not great is it Yeah slightly different vlog, thought I’d leave in great chunks I’d normally delete (like the tour) you can fast forward if you’re bored 🤷♂️😆 I think birds have a universal language..
Thanks very much for the tour Graham! That's a huge site 😳. Loving the idea to herd up all the Moho's into one area. You've got my vote! I was a bit disappointed that you're cycling extravaganza did not involved any typical lycra apparel..... I had high hopes . BTW, The Swedish outdoors company Thule, its pronounced 'two-lee'..... (you're welcome! )
Thanks for watching. Have a look at my 2 vs 4 movers vlog Motor Mover Test. Twin Axle Caravan 2 or 4 Motor Movers? th-cam.com/video/hl38vvlwOQg/w-d-xo.html
Great video but I must take you to task. I live in Northampton and it is not Neen it is pronounced Nen as in Pen. That is a massive site bit too busy for us. We have a dog who get a bit hyper with a lot of people and children running about so we only use adult only CL’s. But agree with you on pitches. I much prefer grass, easier to bang awning pegs in and nicer for nipping out of the van barefoot.
Thanks for watching and for the correction. Well I never, I’ve never heard it called nen valley. Just briefly watched half a dozen vlogs and everyone says “neen” as in bean 🤷♂️ Not that I’m doubting you but I’ve only ever heard it said neen
@@CaravanVlogger You have probably heard it from non locals me duck😂. I believe you are in the Harlow area but probably don’t get East Midlands news but they always say Nen.
@@CaravanVlogger 😂 I’m originally from The Elephant & Castle and learned the error of my ways when I moved to Northampton and mentioned the river ‘Neen’ that went through Northampton 😂😂
Thanks for getting that far. I left the whole tour of the site in so people could watch if they wanted to. A bit of an experiment. So far just one has complained 👍🏻

As you know we love this site. For all the reasons you showed in this video. Glad you took my advice and went back there 🤣 great vlog Graham.
Nice weather for you & good job too as that’s a BIG site - agree you need a bigger bike cover
Love the intromusic mate you really did bring it back
Oh yes and great vlog
Wow, that’s a huge site, and a great looking location. Had some belly laughs at the subtitles on your cycling tours 😃
Another great Vlog Graham, Ferry Meadows is one of our go to sites being only an hour away. I love the idea of one side being for the Motorhomes (Dark Side) and the other for Caravans.

Thanks for watching. Glad you’re enjoying caravan life 👍🏻
What a Mahosive Site, looks really nice and my favourite intro music too 😁👍
Thanks for watching. Yes a few have requested it 👍🏻
Great Video! Well done.

Massive site, I now have montion sickness and have to sit on a newspaper, glad to see the electric bike is doing well, you will have to update us on the bike rack and how the towing went with the bikes on the back ofthe caravan.
Thanks for watching. Yes I did mean to talk about the bike rack. I'll do it in a vlog shortly 👍
That sounds good to me motor home 1 side and caravan the other side 👍
Thank you for the info I think we should go for a single axle van….
Ha ha!! Yeah, thats right!!! Get rid of all those motor-homers...........ha ha. Love your humour.........oops, not a truer word said than in jest...............ha ha anyway. Love it.
We normally have the other side of the field you are on, pitch 119 I think, as that has the van facing the evening sun!!!
Had us chuckling throughput mate and loved the bike rides, does that count as exercise for me now I’ve cycled round the lake with you? 🤣
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, it doesn't count if you just watch. Having said that, I'm not sure it counts for me either as it's an electric bike 😂

Thanks for watching. Hey, “old man” 😳Hmm thinking about it I’m not middle aged, I mean I don’t expect to live until 118 😂

Just that a mate of mine has a bike rack fitted and the rear panel cracked in two or three places where it meets the roof still ongoing with a claim.
Thanks for watching and the heads up. I don’t think we’ll be using it too often. I’ll keep an eye on it though 👍🏻
I have a Motorhome and use a drive away awning so I want a large grass pitch. I would not be happy with having to use a smaller hard standing pitch!
Thanks for watching. I was only joking 🙃 Anyone should be able to use any pitch as we all pay the same 👍🏻
Is that birds singing or your knees creaking Graham? 😂
Thanks for watching. Definitely my knees! TBH you do feel like you're cheating with an eBike...
That's not a bad idea keeping

@@CaravanVlogger - like the birdie song? 🤔😂
Great video mate.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
Our favourite site ever, always something to do……mind Graham, 5 mph on site please and no driving over the grass. 😂
Thanks for watching. Yes, it was a struggle to stick to 5 mph, especially as I was pulling the caravan 😂😳🤔
Thanks very much for the tour Graham! That's a huge site 😳. Loving the idea to herd up all the Moho's into one area. You've got my vote!

Now that’s a nice site to visit what the price,s like off season.
What your throughs on a Bailey papaloma twin axial with only one motor mover ??

Looks a great site is that an electric bike you are on
Thanks for watching. It is a great site and it is an eBike, made by Cube...
Got bored after 18 mins and turned off
Thanks for getting that far. I left the whole tour of the site in so people could watch if they wanted to. A bit of an experiment. So far just one has complained 👍🏻
