I'm from Rhyl, (don't laugh), but I live in the US now. I love your show, and so does my American husband. When I was a kid, a gang of us used to regularly walk along the river from Rhyl to Rhuddlan and play in the castle all day. They used to let local kids in free. On the rare occasions we got some snow, we'd try sledding down Twt Hill using cardboard boxes - never very successfully! It's truly miserable there in the rain - thanks for sticking with it.
Thank you, for coming to Wales showing the rain (and sun we occasionally have! ) as someone who lives here but is house bound mostly it has been lovely to see places that brought back happy memories. Also just want to say well done sticking it out in th rain as long as you did and thank you ❤ keep making the videos they are wonderful
In the words of Billy Connolly..'there's no such thing as bad weather,just the wrong clothes'😂..well done both of you,was a great vlog,you will be rewarded on your next outing with loads of sunshine ☀️ ☀️
Love going away in the rain. Just stay in the van. The sound of rain on the roof, watching telly makes it. Love the wet map joke. We did a tour of West wales in February one year. It was so wet for the whole 4 days the coast guard was patrolling the streets.
You are absolute troopers for bringing us a tour of the castle and the area,we've been there but in the sun...clares face said it all but you pushed through,thanks guys.
Well done for carrying on, it was very informative and Claire’s woebegone expressions were very funny, but the lass came smiling through all the way. Wishing you both good adventuring and will be watching out for further videos. I was a volunteer worker at the charity shop in Rhuddlan you both walked past. Love the repartee banter between you both it’s worth watching for that alone 😂Wondering if Penryn Castle is on your agenda. It’s on the way to Bangor, the walk from the road to the castle is lovely under a canopy of tall wooded trees. 😊
You went over & above for our enjoyment & we thank you 👏👏 I hope that Pablo & Dora’s coats were more waterproof ☔️☔️🐶🐶 they deserve a special treat for having to suffer in all that rain 💦💦. Always appreciate your efforts can’t wait to see some of Claire’s drone footage xx
Hi both, can I just say you two are simply brilliant. Pure class and top comedy you both make the wife and me chuckle. Over and above the comedy your factual information and tips are brilliant. We’ve only just came across you in the last week so thank you both for entertaining us as said just pure brilliant and informative. Love the videos and please don’t stop 👍 Dave & Sharon 😉
The church in your blogs is St Mary's. Both my parents and my second eldest baby sister are buried there. It's a beautiful Church and it's really peaceful. Enjoyed the castle, haven't been since they have put stairs there. I must take a visit, when weather is slightly better. We'll done for braving the rain and carrying on with the blog. Hope you both didn't get colds. Lovely dogs you have ❤
Thank you so much guys for your North Wales vlog and braving the clement elements bless you both. Bet that pint and a bit food sorted you and the hounds. Fingers crossed for better weather to come your way, chin up, your always a tonic on a dreary day best wishes intrepid travellers. Some lovely castles throughout all of Wales mostly built by Edward 1 aka Long shanks who dominated the welsh totally and used them extensively as canon fodder during his wars against the scots.
Just subscribed and not long been viewing your channel, thoroughly enjoying your travels and historical information, you two seem to hit it off with the public as you are both very likeable people, keep up the good work guys.👏👏
Cheers for the plug guys :) I've just got the Neo, and can't wait to have a go. We have been whinging for a few years now about how rain coats don't keep you dry anymore, but a £1 plastic poncho works a treat. Maybe that's the way forward ;)
Thanks loads for showing us another great getaway. It’s a pity you all got soaked through, hopefully you managed to dry out quickly. The trouble you go to for our entertainment and future experiences is great. Bestest wishes to you all 👍🏼
Thank you so much for persevering in the rain to make this vlog which was full of interesting facts. I think you should complain about your coats as they are definitely not fit for purpose. Read the Consumer Rights Act and quote it if you do complain. What little troopers are Pablo and Dora. The more it rained I got more and more worried about you all. Anyhow, take care and bye for now. ❤
That bridge over the Clwyd at 19 - 20 mins is the very same where Arthur and Olive lost their luggage in the film of 'On the Buses'. Classic British comedy.😜 You were so amazing enduring that weather.
Bless you both for keeping on with filming in that downpour. Glad you mentioned Michael from Foxy’s Travels. He’s a good mate and a lovely bloke. It was surreal to see you guys in our local paper! Your Sunday dinner looked lush! Good on you both for sticking with this video 😊
I always get me coats from Regatta, usually pretty dependable & waterproof. Most of all though, I'm a cheapskate and the discounts on their site are unbelievable. Thanks for getting wet for our pleasure, great upload!
You can get the scene on TH-cam where he crashes the bike look for yourselves it's quite clear to see it ain't changed much there and that scene was way back in1973. You can even see the castle you was in. In the background. Happy good memories. Thank you for this video
Going above and beyond , taking one for the team. You're right, thanks for reminding us, we know you can use your van in foul weather, but it ain't too much fun. Motorcycling is the same Andy. Keep safe. Roll on Summer!
In a past life with my lost partner we visited with our caravan, and had many happy times of the places you go to … so brings back many happy memories .. he’s now gone , so you remind me of the places we went and so enjoyed , thankyou so much xx
Liked, subscribed, and now commenting, you need to take with you folded in your pocket, an A4 plastic page protector, for your maps on rainy days. Love your banter. ❤
I live in Rhyl not far from Rhuddlan. I absolutely loved this!! ♥️ It is so much better on a sunny day lol! The clear figures on the benches are to represent fallen soldiers in WW1. The figures of the medieval soldiers carved from an oak tree wear Christmas hats and tinsel at Christmas 😂 xx
We have been camping in similar weather and you just get on with it but getting clothes dry in a tent is a major task. Well done for sticking with it and bringing us another interesting and excellent vlog. We have holidayed in the caravan site near to the river and it was great. Cheers.
Your funniest yet, our newly returned son (long story) chuckled throughout ! The birds were gold finches, after the thistle seeds. Just brilliant guys, could tell Claire was P'd off, so funny !! Bargain Sunday lunch too.🤣👍👍
Wow you both took one for the team on this one, seeing that castle map disintegrate was just so funny, each shot less of the map. Interested to see how the new drone performs, looking forward to your verdict. Thanks for this one guys as the weather looked just dreadful. Keep em coming. 🍺🍺🦴🦴
Hi guys. Top work soldiering on despite the weather. Clare's face was a picture 😅 Some waterproof coat advice, no Gortex coat is waterproof if you wash it and don't retreat it. I've got a RAB coat that is 100% waterproof. Mountain Equipment are very, very good. Expensive but good. As they told me when I was in the RAF, your skin is waterproof. Keep making us laugh, and happy travels.
Love the pair of you, both of you are so entertaining and you bounce of one another so funny. Well done for braving the rain 👏from Jackie and ken Johnson
Great video love a good castle.. watching the paper slowly get soggy was funny 😂 I read the article in the local Hartlepool paper..i was like "Oh theres Claire an Andrew i watch them on TH-cam" ❤ enjoy your travels wherever you go next ❤
Well done both for perceiving with your walk in rainy Wales. Yes it rains a lot here but without it our little country wouldn't be so green and lush. Love your vlogs and look forward to your next one. ❤
Hi, great video just remember there’s no such thing as bad weather to bad clothing. Keep on going camping through the winter I think you’ll find it enjoyable.
What a pair of troopers you are. From the rare long necked small Welsh cows to the canalised castle tower. You managed to maintain your sense of humour throughout. Well done. (Not too patronising I hope)😂
I got a tip. Look up equi dry coats. They are warm and waterproof.. people with horses know how to stay warm and dry. They are like a waterproof dressing gown. We'll comfy.
We've been to Rhuddlann a few times but never to the castle. Thanks for putting up with the rain to show us round. I'm worried though, just bought a new Berghaus waterproof so hope it works better than yours seemed to. Lol
Loved it, used to spend my summer holidays from Barnsley in Rhuddlan and had many a banana and jam sandwich on the bank between castle and river Clywd, times were hard int 70's
Ahhhh what a bummer, the rain really took its toll, I have to say I love the music at the end of each vlog, but then I know the end is near, it makes me feel quite sad.
Thanks for the vlog even in that terrible weather. I got my hoodie at the end of last week and it is the best one I have ever owned, nice touch with the note saying that pablo and Dora quality checked them made me chuckle. You should start selling your own waterproof coats if the quality is anything like the hoodies and t shirts you will be on to a winner
Hello Richard. Now that’s a great review if I’ve ever heard one THANKYOU Are you on Facebook or email to send us a picture we can use to show everyone?
What a pair of Yorkshire troopers!! Just remember how many people you’re cheering up when you do these vlogs 😂👍 seriously feel your pain though. We got caught on a beach near flamborough last weekend and it felt like a scene from the day after tomorrow 😳
This vlog made me chuckle, Claire you looked so understandable miserable. I love to be out walking with our 2 dogs and the rain doesn’t usually bother me, but when we are out in the van it is hard work. Wet clothes hung up in the shower cubicle, that gorgeous wet dog smell lol Keep the vlogs coming guys, you are so entertaining.
Thanks for your perseverance still worth filming. One advantage of having an awning even a porch one somewhere to get changed when your wet. We've both had Musto jackets had them for about 15 years still going strong👍
You guys are fab! You never fail to make me laugh!! Love your vlogs please don't ever stop!! Big hugs to Pablo & Dora 🐾💕🐾 (hope you've finally dried out now!) ps I blame you for my new love of Madri! 😅
What a great vlog shame about the rain the lunch looked delicious the loops in your goodies are for also putting your thumbs through and if you putting a coat on top stops the sleeves from rolling up hope you all managed to get dry
Don't normally comment on TH-cam I really like you guys you are so funny poor Clare in the rain ☔ she wasn't feeling it at all but still has a smile keep up the good work ❤
Oh you two..Now that’s what you call dedication to your subscribers..but really no one would hold it against yous if you had a day off god knows you two have earned it..oh and Berghaus coats are waterproof well they are until you take them out the plastic bag it came in then there not🤣🤣👍🏻
Liked and commented ... We always watch and enjoy your vlogs on the TV so made an effort to go on my Tablet to like and comment.. Ooh and thanks so much for the Hoodie I love it especially the secret pocket Claire 😊 ❤❤
Brilliant again guy's, great to see yous are like us not fair weather explorers 👍😁... I love history as well Claire... Fionas not to up for it like Andrew... 😂... Be good guy's 🍻🍻🍻 oh, the maps brilliant 😂❤
You should have come to Barry Island, in Soth Wales, we have sun here!!😂😂 That Sunday dinner looked gorgeous! What size do ladies hoodies go upto please? Have a great week. Love Dawn & Jay xx🥰🏴🏴 and Charlie 🐶🐾
We went there 3 yr ago on the bikes . Great place . I can just see my son sat on his Harley against the wall on the other side of the road . Fond memories . ☺️
I have a Berghaus raincoat and it’s brilliant, had it a few years mind - 5 probably! I would write to them and complain, they are a good make and you should stay dry, that’s why they charge so much. Excellent vlog, even though you were a pair of drowned campers 😢 take care both.
Rain jackets work best if they are baggy, and have air flow. My old army Gore-Tex worked great until I put weight on ...LOL These days I swapped from rain jackets to a brolly, even when backpacking .... The bridge you crossed is where (Holiday on the buses) was filmed, where the motor and side car crashed and Olive lost her luggage in the River Clwyd. As youtube don't like link sharing, copy paste this title below into youtube search box. Holiday On The Buses Olive's Luggage Falls into Canal The wrist hols in fleece, is so when you put on your rain jacket, the sleeves don't ride up your arm. I live a short way from Rhuddlan, so this video is like a blast from my childhood past. Great video, really enjoyable ATB
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Lol.. So mean, Claire is so pretty, and I want me her drone. Just youtubed it, looks like a great vlogging tool for my backpacking trips...
Hi ya Andy and Claire. So sorry you didn't have lovely weather. Hey Andy you must have the same coats as us. Even when it's not raining you sweat so much you need a shower when you get back.🥺 Brilliant ruin, love ruins Su gets bored with pristine buildings, however show her a ruin well happy. Probably why she loves me ay.😅 Great information guys. Again great humour. Nothing seems to defeat you,. Hope you get some lovely sunshine for your next adventure. Another great enjoyable vlog guys. Thank you. Thumbs up Thumped 👍 .... Pete and Su....
Hi loved this! We were surprised not to see Marti Pellow and his group 😂 the castle looked brilliant! Thank you watching RHYL can’t be that bad next. Keep the vlogs going! Oh can you pop a link in about that drone?
Appreciate your resilience. You've had some proper crap weather this year. We've been there in the past, but now check the forecast before travelling even if we lose site fees. Hopefully, next summer is an improvement? Let's be honest it couldn't get any worse.
Used to love Rhuddlan years ago when the kids were small, walking up (Twootill) and one time we took friend's kids... heard a load of shouts and there they were on the turrets of the castle... little monsters!! The weather was usually like this.
Loved the vlog but I did really feel sorry for the 4 of you getting drenched poor Claire hardly smiled in this one, fingers crossed you get lovely sunshine in the next one, ❤
I'm not suprised there was nobody else round the castle in that rain, even the dogs looked fed up & the disintegrating map was so funny 🤣At least you had a nice lunch, well done 👍
I love the slowly disintegrating castle map. How proudly you clung to it. I've said it before you two are the funniest campervan channel on YT. 😅😅😅
We love that you enjoyed 🗺️ ❤️
Your both brilliant , love your channel , your the best of British , funny as well , you gel so well , thank you

Yes but they bought the correct clothes and still got soaked lol 😮😅

Just subscribed and not long been viewing your channel, thoroughly enjoying your travels and historical information, you two seem to hit it off with the public as you are both very likeable people, keep up the good work guys.👏👏
Hello. Welcome and thank you 🙏
Get yourself a notebook to jot down all the incredible facts we give out 😂😂😂
Cheers for the plug guys :)
I've just got the Neo, and can't wait to have a go.
We have been whinging for a few years now about how rain coats don't keep you dry anymore, but a £1 plastic poncho works a treat. Maybe that's the way forward ;)
I think we might even get some £1 specials ☔️ happy travels and enjoy your drone
Add the perfect waterproof jackets to your clothing range!? Logos, dryness, along with hoodies etc - perfect combo! xx
😂😂😂😂😂👍❤️
Sun,Rain,hail and snow always worth packing the van and going away. Love your vlogs guys thanks for all the hard work you put into them.♥️🏴
Hi, thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Worth a thumbs up for taking one for the team ☔️

Thanks loads for showing us another great getaway. It’s a pity you all got soaked through, hopefully you managed to dry out quickly.
The trouble you go to for our entertainment and future experiences is great. Bestest wishes to you all 👍🏼
Hello and a big thanks for watching
Claire's fed up face was so funny 😂 You lasted longer than I would've in that rain, "Welcome to Wales" they said ☂️☁️ 😂
It was a tough one 😂😂😂
I just loved the way you battled with the soggy castle map,I'm sorry but I did laugh...
Love to read this 👍👍😂
Thank you so much for persevering in the rain to make this vlog which was full of interesting facts. I think you should complain about your coats as they are definitely not fit for purpose.

Goldfinches they was guys .. shame about the weather… cheers Chris & Sammy
Hi Chris and Sammy

Just found you on here great watching you go around north wales I just love wales . Marvellous love watching the both of you .

We had such a fab time here 👍
Oh poor Claire, she looked really fed up.
Ooooh I wasn’t happy Linda 😂
We have been camping in similar weather and you just get on with it but getting clothes dry in a tent is a major task. Well done for sticking with it and bringing us another interesting and excellent vlog. We have holidayed in the caravan site near to the river and it was great. Cheers.
Hi 👋 we enjoyed it 👍
Wales weather has not been too good to us so far 😂😂😂🌦️
Oh what a day! Well done for persevering - it is appreciated!
“What a day” 😂😂😂😂
That map made me burst out laughing. Sooo funny.
That really happened?
Your funniest yet, our newly returned son (long story) chuckled throughout ! The birds were gold finches, after the thistle seeds. Just brilliant guys, could tell Claire was P'd off, so funny !! Bargain Sunday lunch too.🤣👍👍
Hi 👋 Hi Junes son 👋
We think the Rhyl episode is funnier 😂
Brilliant vlog!!! That's what I call dedication and yes it is worth it 👍
☺️👍👍👍
Guys you deserve a thumbs up just for carrying on in that awful weather 👍
👍👍❤️❤️
You are at the top of my street ! Twthill is beautiful in the sun ! Its a lovely village to live in x
What a fabulous place it was ❤️👍
Wow you both took one for the team on this one, seeing that castle map disintegrate was just so funny, each shot less of the map. Interested to see how the new drone performs, looking forward to your verdict. Thanks for this one guys as the weather looked just dreadful. Keep em coming. 🍺🍺🦴🦴
Hello ❤️❤️ hope you are well x
Absolutely ace! You two are diamonds 😊 love your vlogs, true grit❤❤❤
Thank you for watching our disintegrating map video 😂
Hi guys. Top work soldiering on despite the weather. Clare's face was a picture 😅
Some waterproof coat advice, no Gortex coat is waterproof if you wash it and don't retreat it. I've got a RAB coat that is 100% waterproof. Mountain Equipment are very, very good. Expensive but good. As they told me when I was in the RAF, your skin is waterproof. Keep making us laugh, and happy travels.
Hi 👋 Thanks for watching
Will look at a RAB, originating from beautiful Sheffield of course!
@Stchristopherofatlantis yes Rab Carrington. Made sleeping bags for people climbing mountains in Argentina. No Madri there, I don't think 🤔
Tribord sailing coats are fab - fully waterproof. After looking like Clare far too many times walking dogs, they're the best I've found so far😊
Thanks for this tip!! 👍👍👍👍🌧️
Love the pair of you, both of you are so entertaining and you bounce of one another so funny. Well done for braving the rain 👏from Jackie and ken Johnson

Hi, great video just remember there’s no such thing as bad weather to bad clothing. Keep on going camping through the winter I think you’ll find it enjoyable.
😂😂😂👍
Loved the puddles under the coats in the pub 😂 that was some rain 😂 I hope you enjoyed our lovely Wales despite the weather.
Love Wales. Bit more sunshine in the next episode but it’s still rainy!!
What a pair of troopers you are. From the rare long necked small Welsh cows to the canalised castle tower. You managed to maintain your sense of humour throughout. Well done. (Not too patronising I hope)😂
Hellooooo
Not at all 😂😂😂😂
That was so funny, we love your videos 😂😂 the wet map !!!😂😂😂😂 hard core in that rain, you well deserve your Madri
We are waiting for Madri to sponsor us
I got a tip. Look up equi dry coats. They are warm and waterproof.. people with horses know how to stay warm and dry. They are like a waterproof dressing gown. We'll comfy.
Oooo a waterproof dressing down! I’m sold
We've been to Rhuddlann a few times but never to the castle. Thanks for putting up with the rain to show us round. I'm worried though, just bought a new Berghaus waterproof so hope it works better than yours seemed to. Lol
Lovely castle 🏰 👍❤️
Clare’s face said it all
Thanks for the content and keeping going
Weighing up a Fidden ( in the basket) plus/& a Bamburgh (very Last Kingdom Clare) against a night away in Nellie Nova
Oooshhhhhh ❤️👍👍😎
Loved it, used to spend my summer holidays from Barnsley in Rhuddlan and had many a banana and jam sandwich on the bank between castle and river Clywd, times were hard int 70's
Hi 👋 still love jam sandwiches now,
Delicious
Thanks for watching and have a great evening
Ahhhh what a bummer, the rain really took its toll, I have to say I love the music at the end of each vlog, but then I know the end is near, it makes me feel quite sad.
What cracking music that is 👍👍👍
Poor Clare and doggies , thank you for being so brave 😂❤️❤️⭐️
Hi 🐾🐾🐾🐾👍
Bless you both, great vlog. Your lunch looked so nice and value for money. Poor wet doggies. Hope you've all dried out now and warm. Xxx
Thanks for watching
Proper troopers in that weather. Keep the humerus banter going. Love it 🥰
Hi, thanks 👍
Aww you poor dabs I did feel sorry for you but fair play for sticking with it well done 👏
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the vlog even in that terrible weather. I got my hoodie at the end of last week and it is the best one I have ever owned, nice touch with the note saying that pablo and Dora quality checked them made me chuckle. You should start selling your own waterproof coats if the quality is anything like the hoodies and t shirts you will be on to a winner
Hello Richard. Now that’s a great review if I’ve ever heard one THANKYOU
Are you on Facebook or email to send us a picture we can use to show everyone?
Thank you guys for braving the rain--much appreciated! But please don't risk getting yourselves sick for our sakes. Take care!😊
❤️❤️😂😂
What a pair of Yorkshire troopers!! Just remember how many people you’re cheering up when you do these vlogs 😂👍 seriously feel your pain though. We got caught on a beach near flamborough last weekend and it felt like a scene from the day after tomorrow 😳
Sorry I laughed 👍👍💩☔️☔️☔️
This vlog made me chuckle, Claire you looked so understandable miserable. I love to be out walking with our 2 dogs and the rain doesn’t usually bother me, but when we are out in the van it is hard work. Wet clothes hung up in the shower cubicle, that gorgeous wet dog smell lol
Keep the vlogs coming guys, you are so entertaining.
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Thanks for your perseverance still worth filming. One advantage of having an awning even a porch one somewhere to get changed when your wet.
We've both had Musto jackets had them for about 15 years still going strong👍
How long???? 👍👍👍👍
Well done Andy and Claire, we were away in Wales for the last two weeks and I've never seen rain like it in September.
Oooh where have you guys been?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis , We were staying at Llanfair Caereinion nr Welshpool.
Well done guys really appreciate you getting so wet for our entertainment. Keep on keeping on. 💯
👍👍👍👍
You guys are fab! You never fail to make me laugh!! Love your vlogs please don't ever stop!! Big hugs to Pablo & Dora 🐾💕🐾 (hope you've finally dried out now!)
ps I blame you for my new love of Madri! 😅
We really need Madri to sponsor us 😂😂
You two and By the Curb are the Tops . 👍👍
Thanks for watching
What a great vlog shame about the rain the lunch looked delicious the loops in your goodies are for also putting your thumbs through and if you putting a coat on top stops the sleeves from rolling up hope you all managed to get dry
Thanks so much 😊
Don't normally comment on TH-cam I really like you guys you are so funny poor Clare in the rain ☔ she wasn't feeling it at all but still has a smile keep up the good work ❤
Hi thanks for your comment
It was horrid 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh you two..Now that’s what you call dedication to your subscribers..but really no one would hold it against yous if you had a day off god knows you two have earned it..oh and Berghaus coats are waterproof well they are until you take them out the plastic bag it came in then there not🤣🤣👍🏻
Hi. That coat of mine was disintegrating faster than Andy’s map 😂😂
@@Stchristopherofatlantis 🤣🤣that map sadly falling apart aptly summed the day up with that crap weather🤣👍🏻
Liked and commented ... We always watch and enjoy your vlogs on the TV so made an effort to go on my Tablet to like and comment.. Ooh and thanks so much for the Hoodie I love it especially the secret pocket Claire 😊 ❤❤
Are you happy with it?
If you see anyone else in one take a picture and send it in 👍👍👍🐾
Brilliant again guy's, great to see yous are like us not fair weather explorers 👍😁... I love history as well Claire... Fionas not to up for it like Andrew... 😂... Be good guy's 🍻🍻🍻 oh, the maps brilliant 😂❤
❤️❤️
You should have come to Barry Island, in Soth Wales, we have sun here!!😂😂
That Sunday dinner looked gorgeous!
What size do ladies hoodies go upto please?
Have a great week.
Love Dawn & Jay xx🥰🏴🏴 and Charlie 🐶🐾
Hi, South Wales will be next year!
They go up to 3XL with another delivery this week! Ooosh
We went there 3 yr ago on the bikes . Great place . I can just see my son sat on his Harley against the wall on the other side of the road . Fond memories . ☺️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
From what I could see the birds were probably goldfinches. They absolutely love teasel seeds and I noticed a lot of them growing in the area.🙂
The birds were dancing beautifully
Great video, I think the birds will be Goldfinch. They're very pretty.
They were delightful
I have a Berghaus raincoat and it’s brilliant, had it a few years mind - 5 probably! I would write to them and complain, they are a good make and you should stay dry, that’s why they charge so much.
Excellent vlog, even though you were a pair of drowned campers 😢 take care both.
Hi. How are you!?
My Berghaus isn’t even a year old yet and definitely not working! Boo!
What super troopers you are doing that in that weather! Rather you than me 😂. Hope you’re somewhere nice and cosy and dry now 😉xx
So far we are dry…. Next few videos are rainy 😂😂👍👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis oh no! What a nightmare 😩 take care guys xx
Rain jackets work best if they are baggy, and have air flow. My old army Gore-Tex worked great until I put weight on ...LOL These days I swapped from rain jackets to a brolly, even when backpacking ....
The bridge you crossed is where (Holiday on the buses) was filmed, where the motor and side car crashed and Olive lost her luggage in the River Clwyd. As youtube don't like link sharing, copy paste this title below into youtube search box.
Holiday On The Buses Olive's Luggage Falls into Canal
The wrist hols in fleece, is so when you put on your rain jacket, the sleeves don't ride up your arm.
I live a short way from Rhuddlan, so this video is like a blast from my childhood past. Great video, really enjoyable ATB
Loved On the buses, just tried and can see it!! Someone once said Claire looks like Olive 😂😂
You are lucky to live somewhere so beautiful 👍🗺️
Just watched it 👍👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Lol.. So mean, Claire is so pretty, and I want me her drone. Just youtubed it, looks like a great vlogging tool for my backpacking trips...
Hi ya Andy and Claire.
So sorry you didn't have lovely weather.
Hey Andy you must have the same coats as us. Even when it's not raining you sweat so much you need a shower when you get back.🥺
Brilliant ruin, love ruins Su gets bored with pristine buildings, however show her a ruin well happy. Probably why she loves me ay.😅
Great information guys. Again great humour. Nothing seems to defeat you,. Hope you get some lovely sunshine for your next adventure.
Another great enjoyable vlog guys. Thank you.
Thumbs up Thumped 👍
.... Pete and Su....
Hi Pete and Su, Yeah we don’t like our rain coats like you say constantly sweating!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching
Have a great day 👍☀️
Hi loved this! We were surprised not to see Marti Pellow and his group 😂 the castle looked brilliant! Thank you watching RHYL can’t be that bad next. Keep the vlogs going! Oh can you pop a link in about that drone?
Hi thanks for watching 👍👍
It’s a DJI NEO and it’s £170 in Amazon. Cracking little drone
Appreciate your resilience. You've had some proper crap weather this year. We've been there in the past, but now check the forecast before travelling even if we lose site fees. Hopefully, next summer is an improvement? Let's be honest it couldn't get any worse.
We agree 👍 How are you Dolby? 🐾
@@StchristopherofatlantisWe're doing great. Many thanks for Dolbys birthday wishes. 😀
Brilliant, hilarious. Loved the seriousness of the vlog while struggling with the wet map 😂
Glad you enjoyed 🗺️🤷♀️
Yeah me to thanks for getting back loving the videos😊
Great to read this 😂😂👍👍
Used to love Rhuddlan years ago when the kids were small, walking up (Twootill) and one time we took friend's kids... heard a load of shouts and there they were on the turrets of the castle... little monsters!! The weather was usually like this.
Hi we had a great time 👍
Great vlog. I’ve been there many times. Lovely. Found some madri today. Lovely thanks. Hope you all dried up fast.
🍻🍻👍👍
The bridge you was on shot a famous scene there from holiday on the busses where Arthur crashes his bike with olive in the sidecart. Hilarious 😂
😂😂
😂 You watched it 😂 👍
Loved the vlog but I did really feel sorry for the 4 of you getting drenched poor Claire hardly smiled in this one, fingers crossed you get lovely sunshine in the next one, ❤
Smiled inside, esp the pub 👍😂
I'm not suprised there was nobody else round the castle in that rain, even the dogs looked fed up & the disintegrating map was so funny 🤣At least you had a nice lunch, well done 👍
Thanks for watching 👍
