- Wiilowcroft campsite
A beautiful site ideally located just a stones throw from the river thurne right on the norfolk broads , Upon exiting the site turning right , a 5 min walk to the end of the lane brings you to the river , then again turning right keeping the river on your left is just a 30 min stroll along the river path which brings you out to potter heigham , Boat hire , fish n' chips , cakes & ice creams , its all happening there!
The site itself is very well maintained with good clean facilities & the owners are nice and welcoming , pitches are large and all have water and nice walks are close by , Wifi & TV signal was good

Hi both, I’m just catching up with your videos, recently lost my mum, looks a lovely spot by the Norfolk broads x
hi julie so sorry to hear about your mum 😞
Can’t wait to see what you have purchased! Don’t leave it too long. Great professional video again, thank you so much. Alan
thanks alan the next video be too long 👍, thanks for watching
We think the clue was in a previous video 😜. Happy travels in your new van.
hi guys , or could be a red herring? 😂 truth is i accidentally put a benimar pic on there from my camera roll from the prev review , totally my mistake , same color though but not a benimar 😬
thanks for watching 👍
Hi, nice site not seen that before, have you been to Three Rivers Pitch & Paddle would be interesting to see that one as well. Enjoy the new van!!!!
we’ve looked at that site you mentioned jon we was going to take a look at it a few months back but something happened and we never got round to it , it looks good we like a site by a river , thanks
mike 👍

Definitely a Benimar 🙂. Hope it brings you much joy! Looking forward to the tour x
hi ruth in amongst the photo montage at end is definitely a pic of a benimar , it’s the one i recently reviewed and was still in my camera roll on my phone and accidentally ended up in the video ! 😂 , so you did see a benimar , but the rest of the pics are of our van , but we didn’t get a benimar, my mistake total human error , ( me not checking before i upload a video ! ) tour coming soon 👍😀
Hi - looks like a really nice site and can't beat camping by water. Enjoy the new van!!
yes we love trying to find sites by the water , thanks for watching the video !
A lovely little site we stayed there one Christmas, the only ones there. We couldn’t walk to Potter Heigham as it was flooded. Look forward to your van reveal . 😜
yes it was flooded when we arrived too ! halfway there we had to turn back 😂 must happen often
thanks for watching the video
Congratulations on your new van, looking forward to the big reveal.
thanks pete i’ll try and get the video done as quick as poss
thanks for watching
I think your new van is the Benimar Benivan 122 XLWB 😉
Beautiful camp site, right on the broads, we’ve just got back from Two Mills in North Walsham which was lovely but a trek out every day.
Great vid, look forward to seeing your next one. 👍
yes it was a lovley site thanks nice and peaceful , i’ll have a look at that one you stayed at i’m sure i’ve heard of it , thanks for watching the video 👍😀
Benimar van conversion
Not sure which model but very nice.
Looking forward to seeing it.
i need to let people know after watching the video back that it’s not a benimar , however , for some unknown reason , a couple of pics from my phone of a benimar i reviewed recently found their way on to my editing software , apologies ahead & thanks for watching the video
Lovely Site Mike - thanks for the review and vlog - can't wait to see the new Ducato van - a change is as good as a rest!
thanks geoff yes the site was nice and peaceful in a superb location, can’t wait to reveal the van won’t be to long 👍😀
Omg just realised you went back to the Adria van conversion that you were impressed with last year 😉 very nice 👍🏻
Great video We've been looking to book that site for awhile now but now we've seen it we will be. Love Potter and Lathems will be there next week but not in our CV20. Funny a few weeks ago I thought you might be down sizing as you had not done many videos of late, myself and hubby Andy really look forward to meeting you both and the doggies some point in the future maybe at Wells next the sea. Love to you both x sue and Andy
hi andy / sue , yes we really enjoyed it there , the location was perfect as was the walk into potter , it was a peaceful site too and really clean , we will be returning , hope to bump into you both soon
take care
mike & kirsty
Nice site but quite expensive. Just priced CMC site at Broads. All July £17.40 per night. Minimum 5 nights
They have got some very good deals on throughout UK
Loved the windmill and funny looking house, it looked a lovely place. My guess is a benimar? Although I don’t think it is the model you showed us recently. Hope Kirsty was ok after her little trip. Take care Gill
haha yes lexi shot off unexpectedly and kirsty felt the brunt of it , i thought what’s going on ! we loved the sites location it was perfect , thanks again gill all the best
mike & kirsty
I reckon it's the Devon Campervan you reviewed a few months ago!! I'm remembering Potter Heigham as a kid, watching boats crash into that bridge. 😂 👍 Graeme
hi graeme yes i remember that van it was lovely and a serious contender , however , it’s not a devon , funny you should say about that bridge we saw a real close one nearly happen right in front of us as we sat there ! 😂
Looks a super site and in a lovely setting thanks for the tour of the area . It must be a Benimar ! . Hopefully you’ve got a bike rack for your E T bike , hahaha🤣 take care 👍🚐
cheers eric , yes it was a lovely peaceful site , no bike rack as yet , looks like i’ll be jogging to the chippy for a while 😂😂
take care
It would be fun to take a walk with your dog in such a wonderful place.
こんな素敵な場所を、犬と散歩したら、楽しいでしょうね。
yes a very nice walk thank you
Looks like a lovely site 😊
Interested to see your new van! Reckon you have gone down the coach built van route rather than a motorhome. Ducato of some sort but there are so many variants no idea which one 🤣
yes they are all very similar it’s hard to tell 😂 , the campsite was beautiful
thanks for watching the video
all the best
mike 😂
benivan 122 wow lots are down sizing but we're thinking of going up ha ha nice place can't wait for next video guys xx
not a benimar i promise i accidentally added a pic of a benimar in the montage at the end , my mistake , so you did see a benimar , but we didn’t get one , honest
thanks for watching & next one coming soon 😀
Hmmmm you really tease us
I guess again Wildax.
Beautiful van.
we love the wildax range , great layouts & quality build
What a beautiful site well positioned, I remember last time we were there Karen was 7 months pregnant with Jonathan so that over 37 years ago we were on a hire boat for a week, think we are due another visit in the future, I think your new Motorhome is a Benimar coach build 👍
hi andrew yes we said we’d love to hire a boat there , after seeing it all and actually being there it looks amazing and i can see why it’s so popular with the tourists , a benimar hmmm 🤔 , similar ,
thanks for watching
Those dogs have got you well trained! (Is the new van a Benimar?)
haha totally yes they most definitely have 😂😂
You've sold the broads to us it's now on our to visit list
that’s brilliant , hope you enjoy it and the weather is good , we will definitely return
Hmm...My guess would be a Vantage NEO...a very nice UK van conversion build in Leeds on the 6.36m Fiat Ducato Maxi chassis...congratulation Mike & Kirsty...we hope you have many great adventures in her...G&A
hi gary , well what can i say , at the moment nothing at all until the reveal video , although leeds would be a very long way for us , really appreciate you watching and commenting and going for the guess the van question
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel I think Gary is right having looked again, the Benimar graphics were a red herring😂
My Guess Autotrail Tribute Compact 670 with the two rear single beds which you both wanted .In 2013 we went on a weeks hire on the Broads and stayed at Potter Heigham Overnight lovely little place
atb Mike and Kirsty from Mike Skegvegas
hmmm could be a tribute, id love to hire one of those boats for a week and stay there , brilliant , people on the river were really enjoying it
When you got to the Building with the Green Roof and MH outside...Was is that Mandy from J&M Laughing from Somewhere? 😆.
With you being Nr Water, did you have the Cam on a Wrist Strap? 😊
Looked a Nice Spot, esp if have a Canoe with Belongings
yes it was a lovely spot & it was a duck 🦆 mandy is abroad 😂 and yes i was taking risks again with the camera totally not thinking silly me
Looks like it could be a Devon Aztec. Lovely van!!
hmmm could be , i do like those devons , all will be revealed soon
thanks for watching
Hi guy's , we have jst subscribed to your channel.... our guess is a high top fiat ducato 😊😊
hi thanks for subscribing, yes it’s definitely a fiat ducato i can say that much 😀👍
thanks for watching the video
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel yayyyy .... my hubby said it was that great video's guys 😊
Is it a Devon Aztec XL? Have been thinking of it as an alternative to our Bailey Autograph 79.6.
Great vlog
i loved the devon aztec but we wanted a bit more kitchen top space than what that had , lots of under seat storage in that devon though , rare in a van conversion
thanks for watching 👍😀
Hi there kirsty and Mike..what about a wildax van conversion...but whatever congratulations..enjoy every minute..always really enjoy your vlogs..so explanatory of the area surrounding the sites..take care..🤩🤩xx
thanks louise we really appreciate everyone who watches our videos , actually a wildax van conversion was a serious contender ! nice layouts and well built vans , again , thanks for watching 👍😀
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel maybe it's a benivan....?x🤩
Bond Island was once owned by James Bond himself Roger More.
that’s amazing , closer up as we walked past it did look like a bit of a movie set theme , very impressive, thanks for watching the video
Fab site thanks for finding it, have just booked for next summer.
Fancy leaving us in suspense 😂😂😂 think its a van conversion 🤔🤔🤔 . Come on hurry up with next one 😂😂😂
that’s great we will definitely be going back there it’s really peaceful in a superb location , next video coming soon , i’ll hurry up 😂😂 and thanks for watching 👍😀
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel you two are our favourite vloggers , Norfolk is our favourite place and because of watching your videos we have recently sold our caravan and bought a MH , its all your fault 😂😂but we love it 😍
oh no i’ve brought you over to the dark side 😂 👍 🚐 , it’s just so nice to be able to pitch up somewhere nice, be it in a caravan or motorhome, and really enjoy what we all love doing the most 😀
It’s the Benimar you reviewed last week, if not that particular one then it’s definitely a Benimar
it’s the same colour as that benimar yes 👍 😉
Have you bought the Benimar you reviewed recently, with the auto box? We've just downsized from a coachbuilt to a campervan, different but much less stressful to drive on smaller roads.
hi pete it’s not the benimar no but a pic of that particular benimar from my phone camera roll ended up in the montage at the end somehow , total human error , but it’s not the benimar although kinda close … ish
thanks for watching again and commenting
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel interesting, can't wait for the big reveal
Those pitches look immaculate, grass cut beautiful but you're a real tease about what you's have downsized to, so your next vlog better come out quick because I'm dying to know!!...bty, it isn't that boat that came past you getting delivered to you is it??...lol
haha yes i wish terry it was a lovely boat that was ! we should be filming the ‘reveal’ video this weekend so once it’s completed i’ll release it as soon as i can
thanks for watching 👍
Hmmm...
You got me...
The yellow decals.
I've seen this before but where?????
hmm possibly , seems familiar ….unless …… 👍 thanks for watching
Fantastic 🍾🍾🍾 No bikes... = no more fish and chips 🤔 😳😔👌👍
no bike , for now anyway 🤔 😬 , can’t have a motorhome without a bike it’s against my van rules 😂
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel we've just bought 2 x Fiido D11 bikes and they've changed our life at 50 👌👍🍾
i’m 51 and still pushing the pedals 😂 i’ll have a google at your bikes i’ve heard they are good
Lovely area 😎 I knew you were going to downsize, you’ve gone for the Benniemar? How are you finding the van conversion with the dogs? We collect ours next week, used to caravans so I think it’s going to be a learning curve on packing light 🤭. Will you be travelling further afield now? Enjoy 😎
hi guys no it’s not a benimar , a couple of pics of a benimar i recently reviewed found their way from my phone onto my editing software , totally human error , so apologies upfront , it’s not a benimar , but …could be similar 😀 what van are you getting ?
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel haha you’re just keeping us guessing now 😂 We’re getting a Fifer L Touring van, by East Neuk Campers - we need an all year round van, as will mostly be using it in the cooler months as opposed to the summer. Very excited 🤭.
@@midlifewithem3804 brilliant would love to see it when you get it , east neuk are a quality van with a good reputation , good choice 👍
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel thank you and yes the quality is brilliant, it’s not brand new, just new to us. I’m thinking I might do a vlog so keep an eye on my channel, over next few weeks 😎. I’ll be waiting for you’re next vlog now to see what you have 😂
@@midlifewithem3804 ours isn’t new either yes that would be great if you did a vlog i’ll keep an eye out
Hope you are settling in with your new …….. We think you will love it 😍 Trev
thanks trev & sue 😉 we sure hope so , all the best
mike & kirsty 👍😀
Lol think Trev & Sue started something Them, Us, You who will be next 🤔
Stay Safe 😜😊
yes i blame trev and sue ! @poshcatscamping , thats if we’ve changed to a van conversion and not a smaller coachbuilt …… 🧐🤔😂👍
I am going to guess it is the Peugeot Devon Aztec that you raved about in your last vlog.
could be 😂 👍
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel you are so enjoying keeping us in suspense. Good for you xx
The windmill I think was on Mortimer and Whitehouse fishing? Site looked lovely
Bennimar!
I claim my £5
Welcome to the cool camper club ❤️
a lovely site rick , very quiet and very clean in a superb location 👍😀
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel we’re coming over Suffolk and Norfolk again next year so maybe try it
@@RickandHeather i’ll buy you both a drink with that fiver 🤫😉 if we see you
Benimar van conversion by any chance?
Nice campsite 👍💙❤️
yes it was a lovely site very peaceful , not a benimar , similar - ish …
I would guess at a wildax pulsar or a timberland freedom I have the later and they are excellent for 2 people and dogs for few nights away beautiful location by the way near Herbert woods boat yard
ah yes the freedom is that with the full width rear bathroom one ? nice vans very comfortable seats , yes ideal for a couple with dogs
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel yes that's the one I'm sure whatever you have brought that you both have put a lot of thought into it and that it will suit your needs good luck
thanks gary and thank you for watching the video and commenting
Recon it’s the Benimar benivan 122 XLWB
its the the same color 👍 but not a benimar
thanks for watching
We live 20 Minutes away
lucky ! very nice indeed , we loved it there
Typical fenland telegraph posts always leaning, that looked like a belter of a site, plenty of room and even a tree to tie the dogs to.
the fenland leaning telegraph pole 😂😂
like it , yes it was a lovely peaceful site
cheers mik
YOU HAVE DOWNSIZED TO A BENIVAN 122 NICE VAN
there was a pic of a benimar yes well spotted but i’d accidentally added it from my camera roll to my editing software and in amongst the other pics , so it’s not a benimar but you did see a pic of one , totally my fault for adding it and not checking
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel ok we will just have to wait and see mike lol
@@jamieinglis1043 lol yes but not too long i’ll be doing the reveal video over the weekend 👍😀
Isn't an IH by any chance?
not an IH although that would be nice 😊 😀
Consort!!
they don’t do p/x
The suspense I killing me! Has to be a Vantage - can’t wait for the next video 😛
Benivan 122 XL Auto
not a benivan but i must admit i accidentally put a couple of pics in amongst the others that WERE from a benivan i recently reviewed , total human error on my part so apologies upfront , god knows how i managed that
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel cheating doesn't help buddy. At least I am jealous, I have got a 7.4 and fed up struggling in lanes etc too long and too fat.....and the MoHo. Enjoy 😉
@@stephenb5560 😂 funny , yes the overhang can be a pain when turning on narrow lanes , i panic when i see ‘lane’ on a street sign
not a benimar i promise
Benimar van conversion
a possibility
Benny something or other ;)
hmmm close , could be 👍😀
well I recon guys you have a adria twin ?
good guess as that was another contender , but not an adria , thanks for watching again
You’re just a tease 😀
😀😀 all will be revealed tomorrow
Benimar
could be …
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel we have a benimar mileo 286 good value for money
@@richardreestt6745 ah yes the drop down bed large front lounge one , really nice those ones 👍
More excited about your new van than the camping site 🤣 looking forward to the reveal 🚐💨💨 happy camping
cheers 😂 yeah should be doing the reveal video sooner rather than later
thanks for watching the video 👍😀
