Hi Helen and Dave a great video as ever and looks a lovely place to stay so clean and tidy and a good base and love the look of wells can see why you like it have been all around it one of these days will make it and to Cromer! Hope you are both keeping well and can’t believe the idiocy of the other driver hope the van is ok I think he had forgotten he was towing driving like that all the best to you both Daniel
Hi Daniel, we’re all good thanks and hope you’re ok too. Great site, really enjoyed our stay. Yep, you’re right, think he forgot he had a caravan in tow. Alls good though. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
Another excellent video, we’re returning to touring this year after a 13 year hiatus and have booked two weeks here as our first return outing. Keep the excellent content coming 👍🏻Tim
Hi Tim, we’re delighted you liked the video and hope you’re as delighted with this site as we were and welcome back to the wonderful world of Caravanning . Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍
Thank you for your site tour Dave & Helen. Was hoping you would show the CL part as it looks very nice on the site map with large generous pitches. I love Edinburgh rock and Gail loves fudge 😋. Never been to Wells but it looks a very attractive seaside town. Hope Zoltar brings good fortune your way 🤩. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob & Gail, lovely site, apologies I didn’t get to the CL part, I had my good shoes on and it was a little muddy 😂. We met Phil & Diane, a couple of our subscribers with the same caravan as us and they said the pitches on the CL were huge and beautifully kept. Next time you’re in Norfolk you must visit Wells, beautiful place and amazing coastal walks around that area and very close to Holkham Hall. Hope you’re both well. Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Dave and Helen, how the hell did you miss that muppet flying through those lanes, lovely looking site, nice to know it's all hard standing pitches, off to my van tomorrow for a boys weekend, going to put your stickers on the sticker wall and rear of the van. All the best and safe travels, Neil
Hi Neil, goodness only knows, we were waiting for the crash, it was quite scary! Thankfully all was well that ended well. The site is really nice and one we will revisit in the future. Glad you got the stickers OK and we both hope you have a great boys weekend 🍺🍺. Stay safe, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Dave and Helen, great video again. Lovely site, went there a few years ago but not with the van, just had a quick look round. I think there was maybe five pitches for caravan club members, (maybe in that "posh" area). Love Wells Next The Sea, never seems to change. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your time ;))
Hi Stew, you’re quite right the area to the back is a designated CAMC CL with 5 good sized pitches. 👍 Wells is certainly one of those places that doesn’t change, a big part of its appeal we think. Take care and thanks as always, Helen and Dave 👍
Lovely site, just went on to the website, looked at dates but see that you have to pay extra for awnings.......wont be going there. I really think that an awning should be included in the price. Lovely looking area as well, good video
Hi both of you, we were there a few weeks back when the weather was very unkind, hard standing pitches were awful as no drainage, sat in water for a week , staff were pumping pitches out . I'd love to be positive but found it lacking in a few areas. Apart from that, still nice to watch your vids.Neil and Sue.
Hi Neil, thanks for watching and for your comment. The weather really can make or break your holiday and we’re sorry to hear about your own experience which sounds polar opposite to our own. We’ve visited 4 times since we started Caravanning and not had any issues but can imagine how a week of rain could really impact. Thanks again and fingers crossed that the summer is finally here. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi guys. That was idiotic driving from the person coming the other way. I'm very relieved you didn't have an accident. I see people towing caravans way too fast all the time. Great video as usual, and happy travels.
Hi Mark, great to hear from you. Agreed, we were passed on a dual carriageway recently by a big 4x4 towing a twin axle caravan at 70mph. Just ludicrous. Hope you’re well and thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
@HelenandDave on our most recent trip back from Somerset, I was on the M5 overtaking an HGV and a Ranger Rover passed us so close and fast it caused our caravan to snake badly. Not a pleasant experience, some drivers have no patience or thought for others unfortunately. Anyway that's life.
We came back down the M5 to Somerset yesterday and were amazed at how many caravans overtook us. I think some drivers don’t think the rules apply to them. On our way out 2 motorcycles overtook coming towards us and went between us and the car they were overtaking on an A road! One of them looking over his shoulder at his mate. Unbelievable, riding like an accident looking for somewhere to happen. Anyway great video folks, the site looks lovely.
Thanks Diane, likewise it’s always great to meet subscribers and our catch up with you & Phil was time well spent. We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Norfolk. Safe travels, Helen & Dave PS thank you both so much for your very kind buy me a coffee donation 👍
Great site both and oh boy that was a rain storm. Thank god that driver managed to keep it over his side, that would have been a terrible caravan to caravan side slap!! Thanks for taking us along with you 😀😀 Tris and Nikki 😀😀
No, we’ve never mentioned going to France but we are heading South and going over seas. Which you may have interpreted as going there. Stay tuned and thanks for watching
Wow what a close call that is . The site looks amazing and lots to do within a short drive. We’ll definitely need to give it try. thanks for sharing Helen and Martin
Hi Philip, we paid £34 a night. There is a link in the description to their website where you can find all the info you need including pricing. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Hi Paul, it was a close call. He was towing too fast around a tight bend and was swinging towards oncoming traffic, namely us. Never had this in 8 years of towing a caravan many thousands of miles. Don’t worry! Have a great trip. Helen & Dave 👍
Last Friday the same nearly happened to us. We were going around a bend exactly the same but this time we had a tractor and trailer of some kind. He was going that fast that the trailer was on two wheels and ready to topple over. Not a nice feeling Dave.
Helen & Dave another great video, you always seem to find lovely sites. It must take you ages to edit and put out such good quality videos. Let’s hope the summer is finally here. Keep them coming looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for your lovely comment Ian. You wouldn’t believe the amount of time that goes in to filming, editing and uploading files, not to mention answering comments and managing social media. However, we really enjoy doing it, it’s a full time hobby 😊. Best wishes to you and thanks again, Helen & Dave 👍
Good day another request to have the most simplest of videos about caravan weight, nose weight, why so much is in the boot of the car and nothing under the bed till on site. I can’t get this understood before I buy a caravan and do it all wrong and unsafe. Thank you
Thanks Janet, good idea 👍 We are away for a good while but will add this great suggestion to the list. In the meantime check out @TheTrudgians TH-cam channel because I’m sure Dan has covered this in one of his videos 👍
Hi Helen and Dave, Well you've done it again, not only a great vlog but another wonderful site. So far, if we did 2/3 nights at each nice site, you visited we would be in Norfolk for about 2 months 😊. As for the loon in the car with the van on how fast was that person going 😳, thankfully, just a near miss but you been driving and lgv think it would have been a different ending. As always take care and we'll see you on the next one. Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️
Hi Paul & Joanne, hope you’re both OK 👍 It was really close, the other caravan was right on the white line and swung out on the corner. Narrow bend tbf to the other driver but he was fast! Great site, better get the summer tour planned or just move down here 😂😂 Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍
Been binge watching your channel for a few weeks now and have to say how enjoyable it’s been. Thank you for producing quality content. Brick kiln has been on our radar for a while and after seeing your review I think a week in September could be on the cards 👍 We are away in August to your part of the world, Willowcroft at Repps. Will be our first visit there and looking forward to it Only a couple of hours drive in the motorhome from our home village in Essex. Thanks again, Lee.
Hi Lee, great to hear from you and thanks for binge watching the channel, we really appreciate it. Actually we have just heard from a couple of our subscribers who were recently at Willowcroft and thoroughly enjoyed it so we hope you do too. Old Brick Kilns is a great site we’ve been several times and never had a bad stay. Stay tuned and let us know how you get on. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave we are really looking forward to our visit, booked it 2 weeks ago and not going to the August 17th and time is dragging. We don’t normally book so far in advance except Christmas but that’s a while off yet 😳😂
As a wannabe carravanee in the next year, that is something that I am very wary of since I queued for hours in the 80's on the A30 nr Oakhampton to witness what looked like the aftermath of an explosion in a match factory. It was clear two caravans had clipped (I never saw the vehicles) At least you escaped that thank goodness!
Hi Grant, thanks for watching. We have travelled thousands of miles with the caravan over the last 8 years and this is the closest we have come to a collision. Once is enough and the outcomes could be awful. Don’t be put off, we love Caravanning and towing is safe. This driver was going to fast on a narrow bend and that was the problem. All’s well that ends well. ATB, Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave yes, it goes to show that no matter how careful you are, there is always the possibility that some idiot can spoil it for you! It's probably worth having a rear recording camera that shows the road lining and side of your caravan to prove you weren't over centre!
Like 185 Awesome footage capturing the beautiful alluring scenery, thanks for sharing and bringing us to this wonderful relaxing place and stay safe always.
Hello Dave and Helen, Wow! that caravan was very close , what a close shave. This is another lovely campsite, lovely and sunny, Nice little fishing lake. Really enjoyed all the information and a look around the campsite. A nice little pub, malibu and orange oooh sounds nice Helen. Wow the rain storm was mega. OOh Wells is such a lovely place to visit and it was sunny . Nice drone footage. Lovely to see Bella.🐶The veg and fruit looked amazing. Thank you for sharing, take care x Julie and Tony x
@@HelenandDave you nearly lost your collection of hoovers there.. If it was a big lorry on a fast oversteer it would have been a rip torn and a problem with insurance payout…
Good afternoon guys. I really like this one. It’s so pretty. I am on the countdown to our next holiday at Pine woods in 3 weeks. Can’t wait to see Wells next the sea. Happy Travels guys. 😊
Hi Greg, reckon you’ll enjoy Pinewoods. Great site and a fab location for the beach and woodland walks. Wells is our favourite North Norfolk town (but we like them all) safe travels, Helen & Dave
Well that was a close shave Dave! Old Brick Kilns site looks great. Definitely gonna add this to our list for next year. Also you made Wells look beautiful, although it is anyway. 👍
Enjoying the sun here in Shrewsbury as I write, we never miss the opportunity to visit Wells next the sea, not for fudge, just the seafood for us. ( and fish and chips of course). Another site that has been on our list for years, cannot seem to fit them all in, spoilt for choice in N Norfolk. Keep well, both - Bella too! Mel and Lyd
Lovely to have a look round the site, last time we were there was voting day for leaving the EU! Think we were near the pitch you were on. Lovely site! Hope to get back there next year. Take care.
Hi there Oonah, thanks for watching. We had forgotten how good this place is. Initially we were disappointed that the restaurant was no longer in operation but the takeaway service and food quality was excellent. Deffo worth a trip back when you can because the new amenities block is very good indeed. ATB, Helen & Dave
Hello Helen and Dave once again a great video it looks a great site mite have a look one day but it’s a long way down from Durham and that was really close he was popping a long .Keep the videos coming cheers Paul
Hi Paul, thanks for watching. It is a bit of a trek from your neck of the woods but worth bearing in mind if you come this way. Lovely place. It was a close call but alls well that ends well. Stay tuned, Helen & Dave 👍
Hello Angela, well thank you very much, we appreciate it 😊 Cracking site. We would have no hesitation in returning again. Hope you enjoyed your dinner 🥘. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
Beautiful camping grounds but I sat straight up when I saw that gorgeous ship. The sea is magical and I have always loved anything Nautical. Helen your Dad came from a peaceful beautiful place no wonder you love it ❤❤❤❤
Hi Virginia, we are lucky to live on the coast and also close to The Norfolk Broads and as former boat owners we also like all things nautical. Wells is very picturesque and quite unchanged over decades. We always love to hear from you and send you our very best wishes. Thank you as always, Helen & Dave 👍
@HelenandDave You are so lucky picturesque towns in the UK last forever. Here not so much. The big beautiful white wooden hotels with the big long verandas that used to line the Connecticut seaside are all gone. So is the Majestic grammar they had. Replaced by concrete and glass. My heart is still full of summer memories at the seashore. Thank you for another beautiful video and a glimpse at more UK ♥️♥️
Something that struck a chord with me the other day, when talking to a caravan site owner. She reckons that the joint between the vertival side panel and roof can be compromised and cause leaks if an awning is attached too tightly with straps tightened too much or storm straps, or if the side panels undergo undue tention caused by the awning in higher winds pulling too tightly ?
Hi Steve, interesting! Something I had never considered and worthy of further investigation. You would think that the manufacturers would have stress tested though but you never know 👍😊
How odd, I was only thinking this a couple weeks ago when setting up, I have an alutec Bailey and not sure if you know how they are held together, but after pulling the storm straps I did think I wonder if it puts stress on the clamps and bolts
@stehume picked out from a forum on this subject.- Any flexing and movement that happens seeks out the weakest part of the structure which is where the roof is joined to the walls and where the floor is joined to the sides. If a sufficiently strong bond is made at these points then water ingress at those points is unlikely. If the bonding is not strong enough then the sealant will eventually allow ingress. - Looks like they are just glued together with internal furniture a vertical supports also maintaining form. Doesn't sound very durable to me, in my view, like my caravan that has leaked because of aged and shrivelled sealant, under the awning rails, it is just a matter of time before transporting flex or awning pull etc. causes leaks at this point.
Hi Phil, great meeting you and Diane and thank you both very much for your buy me a coffee. Very generous!! 🍺🍺 that’ll get me a couple of ghost shops and a coffee for Helen. Enjoy the rest of your stay. Helen & Dave 👍
And there was me thinking you were going get Bella a toy lol we have got the glorious weather now and at Morrisons 5 old speckled hen for £5 can’t go wrong 👍
There are a couple of passing places but they are strict on timings of vans in and out so the worst you would meet is a car. It’s deffo tight though 👍😊

@@HelenandDave we came last year having watched one of your vlogs and loved it so here we are back xxx
Something that struck a chord with me the other day, when talking to a caravan site owner. She reckons that the joint between the vertival side panel and roof can be compromised and cause leaks if an awning is attached too tightly with straps tightened too much or storm straps, or if the side panels undergo undue tention caused by the awning in higher winds pulling too tightly ?
Hi Steve, interesting! Something I had never considered and worthy of further investigation. You would think that the manufacturers would have stress tested though but you never know 👍😊
How odd, I was only thinking this a couple weeks ago when setting up, I have an alutec Bailey and not sure if you know how they are held together, but after pulling the storm straps I did think I wonder if it puts stress on the clamps and bolts
@stehume picked out from a forum on this subject.- Any flexing and movement that happens seeks out the weakest part of the structure which is where the roof is joined to the walls and where the floor is joined to the sides. If a sufficiently strong bond is made at these points then water ingress at those points is unlikely. If the bonding is not strong enough then the sealant will eventually allow ingress. - Looks like they are just glued together with internal furniture a vertical supports also maintaining form. Doesn't sound very durable to me, in my view, like my caravan that has leaked because of aged and shrivelled sealant, under the awning rails, it is just a matter of time before transporting flex or awning pull etc. causes leaks at this point.

I wouldn’t like to of met anything on that lane heading towards the caravan site 🫣
There are a couple of passing places but they are strict on timings of vans in and out so the worst you would meet is a car. It’s deffo tight though 👍😊
