- Unique and spectacular beaches. The old penny arcade. Hall of mirrors. Large shopping town. Victorian fernery and aviary. Grand Victorian buildings. Beautiful marine park with its Venetian bridge, iron shelters, art deco columns and more…
Brilliant video again Rob & Gail, we love this site. Thank you for the mention, it was lovely to see you both. Looking forward to the next video, Steve & Fiona xx
Pleased you enjoyed our video Steve & Fiona 👍. It always amazes us when we get recognised on site but we do love meeting people who watch our channel. It makes it all worth while. Next video coming soon. Best wishes to you both, Rob & Gail 😀
It looks a lovely site and area rob n Gail. Just a shame it wasn't this week you,s was here in this lovely ☀️ sunny weather. We've just come back from a luvly break at ULLROME ,east Yorks. Looking forward to Sutton on sea club site this weekend, hope we like it as much as yourselves did last year ❤
Hi there Mark and Jo, It has certainly been a lot drier since we returned home but on the plus side we did dodge all the showers whilst we were there. We like the East Yorkshire coast very much and you’ve been lucky with the weather. We also like the Lincolnshire coast and loved it at Sutton on Sea despite the heat wave, yes it really was two years ago ! Hope you have a great time there 👍. Cheers, Rob & Gail 😀
@@robswiseways5697 oh I thought it was last year you were at Sutton on sea CCS. 😂 Lol yeah we noticed you,s dodged the showers. Yes thku I think will like the Sutton CCS 🙂
Ps, I'm gonna try do a utube over the weekend if I get round to it ,I've never uploaded or done utubes before so hope it fairs up ok lol 😂🙂
@@MarknJoscaravaningtours Time flies doesn’t it 🙂
@@MarknJoscaravaningtours Well we’re going to have to keep our eyes peeled for this one then 🧐
Fabulous video Rob and Gail. Love the look of Churchtown. We only live in Morecambe but have never visited it! We really must make an effort! Ian
Hi Ian, pleased you enjoyed our latest efforts.It was a good holiday and we enjoyed it all. Churchtown has a nice atmosphere and we loved the park with its aviary and fernery. Well worth seeing 👍. Thank you for watching and best regards . Rob & Gail 😀
Interesting vlog, thanks. We stayed at a pop-up campsite in Victoria Park. Absolutely loved it and so are going back to another pop up campsite at Waterside Lodge soon.
The Botanical gardens are lovely.
Never knew about pop-up campsite in Victoria Park or at Waterside Lodge which is really handy being central. Have a great time 👍 and hope you manage to fit in Botanic Gardens, they are worth a visit. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
@@robswiseways5697 Yeah, Caravan & Camping club's Out & About app has them in, they're really good & good value. Victoria Park was only £15 (extra for ehu}
Hi Rob & Gail! Brilliant video as always ,full of very useful information. We loved the airshow that weekend. It was absolutely lovely to meet you both 😍 keep up the fantastic videos! We are now down in lovely Cornwall at Gwithian Farm you would love it here! Beki xx
Hi there Beki and Mike, Really nice to hear from you 👍 . We had a wonderful time at Southport and we are pleased you did too. We would love to visit Cornwall one day but Gail’s elderly mother prevents us travelling too far. Thank you very much for your compliment and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Some lovely places visited in this one, I’ve not been to Southport in over 30 years so I think it’s time we certainly visited again. Thanks for posting another great video 👍
Hi there Tony, Pleased you enjoyed our latest go everywhere, see everything video 🙂. We certainly like to pack plenty in. Great it’s inspiring you to return. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Great video again Rob Gail, its a few years since we went to that site, Southport is a lovely place, never been to Crosby Beach it looks fantastic
Hi there Andrew and Karen, We had a great holiday all round. All the beaches were surprisingly something else with those sweeping dunes and yes those statues. We only learned about the statues a few days prior, so a lucky conversation that was 👍. Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob and Gail, great video once again and looks like we just missed you both. We went to Southport on the 30th June for 3 nights at the start of our 2 week tour. So glad you got to see Rotten Row in all its glory, it was so beautiful when we were there. We don’t book a service pitch at Southport as we are not keen on the openness of that area, we like it around pitch 17, a bit more sheltered. Safe travels and keep the videos coming. Melanie and Adrian
Fancy missing you Mel and Adrian by just a few days. That would have been a coincidence since we met at a club site one year ago this month 😁 . Rotten Row was certainly blooming lovely despite a battering from all that rain. Definitely worth a look at👍 by anyone staying at the site. Our pitch felt very exposed and we would have preferred one backing onto the hedges.We’ve got a clear rear washroom window ! The sheltered pitches are more favoured by us too. Hope you enjoyed your two week tour and are happily prepping for your next trip… Best wishes to you both, Rob & Gail 😀
Another great video Rob& Gail you have given us ideas on where to go next time we are in Southport the parks look lovely, we had the same weather as you in Barmouth but still enjoyed the traditional seaside town, we'll look forward to your next video see you both soon 😊
Thank you very much Yvonne 👍. We love sharing and inspiring others and are pleased to know we have given you some ideas. Great to hear you enjoyed your holiday in Barmouth, we love a traditional seaside town. And the weather wasn’t all bad was it 🌦️ . Good to know you’ll join us next time, Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
As a resident of Southport (Birkdale) I think you have done the area proud with your film. The Miniature Engineering club, and adjacent Model Boat Club are open on Sundays and nearby Birkdale Village is a fantastic spot for food, drink and local produce. Well done, and glad you enjoyed your visit. 👍
Thank you very much Richard it’s kind of you to say so 👍. There was so much to see and do and we really enjoyed filming it all. We arrived on Sunday pm and spent the afternoon relaxing in the caravan, had only we’d known 🤔. Hope others read your comment and visit Birkdale Village. Thanks for your comment and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Hello Rob & Gail, Thank you for a lovely video. The parks, gardens, and beaches were fabulous. Walking up and down the dunes will definitely keep you fit and give you a good appetite. The sea sculptures look so thoughtful looking out to sea. Take care both 🌞
Thank you Morag, we loved exploring the area and had a super holiday. The dunes were so dramatic, it was like being in a desert 😂. We love a good park and they didn’t disappoint. Watching the sculptures disappear beneath the waves was awesome. All well worth seeing 👍. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob & Gail
Thank you for the latest episode, we returned from this site on Monday, we absolutely love your vlogs and hope that they continue. Our pitch was directly accross from yours with a slight left to right incline, the shovel just had to come out! All the best 👍
Well fancy that Dave. If you mean the end pitch that would have been our first choice. Good to know you carry a trusty shovel 😂 There you go a Robs top tip of the day 😂 . I made a slight adjustment too. We are bowled over to hear you absolutely love our vlogs 👍. It makes the hard work all worthwhile. Thank you. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob this bought back memories. I remember wiring that campsite back in the early 00s if memory serves me correctly.
Thanks for watching David. You’ll be pleased to learn we had no problems with the electrics 😁. It was a good holiday and we loved it there 👍. Cheers Rob & Gail 😀
Great video Rob spent many great holidays as a child thanks for bringing back my memories
You’re welcome Peter 👍. We loved exploring this area and it’s great to share our adventures. Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Great video Rob & Gail we have yet to venture over that side of the country looks a good site 👍 enjoy
Sean & Lisa
Hi there Sean & Lisa, thank you for your compliment 👍. It’s a lovely site with lots to see and do in Southport itself and the fantastic beaches are vast. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Thanks for your wonderful video, been to Southport many many times has a child and Adult, never been to church town, but thanks to your video it’s now on the list, many thanks again Rob and Gail, 👍👍.
Thanks for dropping by again BB and for your compliment 👍. It’s surprising what you come across during explorations and Churchtown seems to be proving popular in the comments section. It was a really good holiday. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Thank you very much Rob & Gail - Even with some attractions closed you really showed us a good time in Southport! atb snack.👍👍
Hello there Snack, Pleased you enjoyed our tour of the area and we can happily report we enjoyed every minute. Another big ✔️Thanks for joining us again , all the best Rob & Gail 😀
Another really interesting and detailed vlog Rob and Gail. Gail your camera skills are amazing , so much detail. Enjoyed seeing all the gardens and beaches , very impressive. Shame that the pier and miniature railway were closed . Lots of empty pitches at that site, surprising for July.
Thanks to you both 😊
Hello Pat, hope you’re well. Gail’s glowing after your lovely compliment and we are pleased you enjoyed watching this one 👍. We were surprised for July that so many attractions were closed and it was a shame. We read the pier will cost millions to restore but at least we had the chance to visit a few years ago. There was even a land train on the pier back then. We’re sure the site will become alive once the schools break up, but yes fairly quiet whilst we were there. Thank you Pat for watching and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob & Gail, just catching up. Never been to Southport but must say we need to make the effort. Great video as usual with really useful information. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Hi there Dave & Helen, It’s not easy finding time for TH-cam when you’re busy enjoying your own holiday so many thanks for watching 👍. Southport has its own Victorian charm and is well worth a visit. Hope you’re having a smashing time on your tour 👍. Warm regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Great vlog! Very clear and well explained. I've never been to Southport but it looks pleasant enough. 😊 Once again I'm underwhelmed by the C&MC site. Top dollar for a site with nothing special. Were there TV plugs on the pitches? I've also heard that the wifi isn't that great there. The best thing appears to be the location itself!
Cheers Tommo and we’re pleased you enjoyed the vlog. We enjoyed exploring and found plenty to keep us occupied so can recommend a visit 👍. There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with the site, we just weren’t keen on the pitch itself and its lack of privacy. There wasn’t a TV hook up on the bollard but it didn’t require one with having such a good signal to the caravan aerial. Don’t know about Wi-Fi as we use the personal hotspot on our phone. The phone signal fluctuated between one and two bars. Thanks for your comment and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Like 106, Awesome footage capturing the beautiful alluring scenery, thanks for sharing and bringing us to this wonderful relaxing place and stay safe always.
Thank you for watching and commenting again Aliwan, much appreciated. Thank you also for your wonderful compliments. Take care, Rob & Gail 😀 👍
Hi Rob
You still newbold area near Mr savavelli lol
Enjoy you videos keep up the good work
I’m now in Hasland
See you around
Hi Lucio, hope you are good. Yeah, we won’t be moving anytime soon.You’re not that far away… Great to hear you have been enjoying our videos so thanks for watching 👍 All the best, Rob & Gail
@@robswiseways5697 hi sent you an email Rob , Lou
Hi Rob & Gail we were at Southport camc site 5th to 7th july we have been twice this year and enjoy it there as we are able to walk into town plenty to see and do,shame the pier is closed they need 10 million pounds to repair it apparantly so could be shut a while. Weather wasn't that good when we last went so spoilt it a bit,but we are going back in september. Hope to see you again soon, you need to do more blogs me and hubby love watching you both, take care xx
Hi Julie, Just missed you by a few hours, but our paths may cross one day 😁. We found the site really handy to explore from too. Lots to see and take in on the walk into town and we liked that. Everyone is missing the pier, we certainly did and it’s a shame it will remain closed for the foreseeable future. Let’s hope the weather cheers up for you in September for your return visit. Not long until we’re back on holiday again and it’s lovely to know how much we are appreciated. Thank you. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Great video. Southport is indeed a fabulous Lancashire resort
Hi Susan and many thanks to you. Indeed a wonderful ,nostalgic, genteel seaside town. We had a marvellous time and can highly recommend. Thank you for your comment 👍 kind regards Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob snd Gail very interesting film cor it must be over twenty years since we stayed on that site its changed quite a bit, liked the statues on the beach 👍 i don't think we'd get Sadie out of that fountain lol .. Glyn and Carol
Hello Glyn and Carol, Hope you’re both well. Glad you found our latest production interesting 😂, we certainly enjoyed exploring the area. The beaches are amazing and we only learnt about the statues a few days before we set off, so that was lucky. You must revisit Southport and treat Sadie to a dip under the fountain ⛲️ . Thanks for watching and all the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Excellent vlog Rob and Gail - very informative as usual 👍
Thank you very much Shaun. Another set of happy memories added to our store. Hi to Sally 😀and hope you are both well.All the best Rob & Gail
Good video again alway a lot of good information.
Hi there Jan, Hope you’re well. Thanks for joining us again and pleased you enjoyed watching 👍. We had a great time and packed a lot in. Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Those sand dunes look amazing. Must get up there!
Hello there Justin, We were blown away by all three beaches, it was an awesome day ! Great holiday all round 👍. Thanks as always for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
I live in Crosby Rob, and not being biased it's one of the best coastlines in the country, with the views over to North Wales and miles of beaches. We're away in our caravan in 2 weeks to a small farm near Shrewsbury. Can't wait!!
Hi John, we are both nodding our heads in agreement 😀the coastline is certainly very beautiful 👍 .Pleased to hear you are excited to be off and away in your caravan soon, we absolutely love Shropshire and have always visited during August ourselves. Have a wonderful time and many thanks for watching and commenting. Rob & Gail
Hi Rob n Gail. You should have said you where going to Southport. We could have called for a Brew. Never been to Churchtown but a day visit will be arranged. We are only a few miles from Southport so we tend not visit that much since the Pier closed. Glad you enjoyed it. Phil n Juliet🙂👍
Hi there Phil & Juliet, Just had a message from Colin, turns out we could have all met up and had a get together ! Yes you must go to Churchtown, it’s worth a visit 👍. We had no idea the pier was closed, the penny arcade was one of the main attractions of booking this holiday. Turned out to be a great week though. Best regards to you both, Rob & Gail 😀
We really like your presentation and attention to detail on your vlogs. Thanks. Sheila & Gavin ❤
Thank you very much for your compliment Sheila & Gavin 👍. Good to know you enjoyed our latest video. Our little hobby keeps us busy on our travels but we do enjoy putting them together. Thanks and warm wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi ya Rob and Gail.
Another brilliant vlog.
Thank you for showing us lots of sites. The beach was amazing.
Never been to Southport. Looks a lovely place.
Do agree with you though about the site bit bland.
Love all the men on the beach, think Su liked them with all their willy's hanging out.🤣
Just had 10 days at Eye Kettleby, weather was great, no downpours that you experienced.
Thanks guys really enjoyed it.
Thumbs up thumped 👍
...Pete and Su....
Hi there Pete and Su,
We had a super time at Southport. We explored all over and did lots 😁. We loved the amazing beaches. Trust you Sue 😂 but you made Gail smile. Model engineers miniature railway is apparently open Sundays.
Eye Kettleby is one of our favourites. It’s a very relaxing place to spend 10 days especially with the weather you had. Hope you enjoyed a Melton Mowbray pork pie whilst you were there 🥧.
Thanks very much for your compliment and comment 👍
Take care, Rob & Gail 😀
Evening Primrose I believe the yellow flowers are called. They like sand and you can see them open if you're patient: ) Thank you for another lovely video. Nice matching necklaces, Gail, if I may add. Excellent info on all the shops sights and sounds you see on your trips. XX.R.
Hello there Roland, We’ve just Googled Evening Primrose and yes you are correct✔️. They were a very colourful sight to come across. Once again we are happy to know you enjoyed watching and you put a big smile on Gail’s face 😊. We had a great time. Warm regards Rob & Gail 😀
Looks great i would highly recommend Delph bank 5 star touring park.
Hi Stewart, We had great time in and around Southport. Thank you for the tip, we are already booked to visit this site later in the year 👍, so one to look out for. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Some great info from you good folk again, was disappointed you edited out Gail wrestling you to the ground for half of that shortbread, best wishes Chris & Mrs D fresh back from Tyddyn Du & Chirk and FRESH it was, roll on summer 👍
Hi there Chris and Mrs D, A few years ago now we stayed at nearby Bron-y-Wendon and we had a look around Tyddyn Du with a view to a future booking but unfortunately we’ve never been back that way. Despite the chilly weather, we hope you had a smashing time 👍. I was very lucky I didn’t have to share my shortbread as Gail is gluten intolerant 😁. Thanks very much for your compliment and best wishes to you both, Rob & Gail 😀
Brilliant information and remember the great sands and model village there as a kid. The shop arcade architecture reminds me of Llandudno and the pride, planning and common sense that went into everything. Yes, climate change on clear display, since recollections and adolescent memories, a lot more wind and not quite as sunny 👍
Hello and welcome ! Nice to hear we’ve evoked some happy childhood memories for you👍.It was a shame both railways were closed but no doubt they will be put to test at weekends and throughout the school holidays.We know just what you mean about Llandudno, it has the same Victorian grace about it. They don’t build them like they used to ! As for the weather of late, well that’s another story. Winds and towing just don’t mix . Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Kind regards Rob & Gail 😀
Keep up with the good reviews & videos
Thanks for your encouraging comment Adam, we will do our best👍. Cheers for watching Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob you are on the new part of the site it is as you say a bit open but the bushes and trees have not grown very well yet the site is in a great place to walk into the southport you can go oneway and come back another as with all seaside towns it some money spending on it but i am sure you will have a great time
Hello Janet, we are pleased to report we had a wonderful time 👍. We even managed to dodge the showers and downpours too. The site is brilliantly conveniently placed to see all Southport has to offer and we had fun exploring further afield. We wished the serviced pitches had been installed on the mature side of the site. Our pitch felt very exposed on all sides and we generally choose a pitch that backs onto hedges. Thanks for watching and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Good evening to you both 😊.
As always, it's a wonderful informative vlog. 👏
If Gail wasn't too happy with your pitch, could you have not moved the following day.
Guess it is a bit of a faff though 😮
We visited there many years ago it's a shame the pier is closed it's a great attraction.
Still plenty of nice places to visit though.
Can't believe you didn't let Gail have a piece of shortbread 😅.
Have you ever considered Hawes CAMC it's lovely with fantastic walks and scenery, plus serviced pitches as we know you prefer them 😉.
Take care as always, looking forward to the next one.
Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️
Good evening Paul and Joanne,
We just knew it would be you who would ask about moving pitch 😂
Gail wanted to move but I said it was too much hassle, but we soon settled in. We had no idea the pier was closed prior to booking. Gail had her old pennies in readiness too 💰 .
There’s so much to see and do in the area and we enjoyed the holiday very much.
Hawes is down on our list but we’re fully booked for this year.
As for sharing my shortbread it’s a definite no no for Gail as she is gluten free 🙁 but I did feel mean snacking when she had nothing 😁
Thanks for joining us again and best wishes to you both 👍
Rob & Gail 😀
@robswiseways5697
😊
What a wonderful and personalised reply.
Please keep an eye on hawes and book it if you can, we promise you will enjoy or we'll buy a packet of biscuits to keep you going 😉.
If you don't enjoy 😁
Thanks again
P and J 😍
PS I know what you mean I always says this will be fine 😅
@@Meggy6571 You are most welcome P & J
We will definitely look into Hawes. Don’t go buying any biscuits yet 😂 👍
@@robswiseways5697
❤️🤣
Never been to Southport, must put it on our list. Would love to visit the sculptures on Crosby beach they look amazing.
Weve stopped booking fully serviced pitches on CAMC sites as they are not always the best pitches and theres much more choice if we just go for EHU but fully serviced pitches are so much easier! We're definitely finding better value on independent sites and much better facilities.😊
Hello Carol and Stephen, great to know our video may influence you to visit Southport👍. It certainly kept us entertained. Although the sculptures have been on Crosby beach for 19 years we had no idea of their existence until someone mentioned them a few days prior to our holiday. So glad we were enlightened as they were amazing ! We too have always said the pricier serviced pitches are not necessarily in the best location and can often be found clustered around the facility block. Gail had a wonderful view of the ladies toilet door when we had our caravan door open 😂 She was not amused. We always stay on a mix of sites and will hopefully visit a serviced CL next trip with a view and a bit of breathing space in front ! All the best Rob & Gail 😀
@@robswiseways5697 Ha ha! Poor Gail, let's hope your next holiday has a more inspiring view! We've ended up by the facilities block in the past, not the best. The rest of your trip looked lovely though. Best wishes to you both.😊
@@Cas.1964 Thanks both, we had an amazing time 😃
My wife is currently in the UK enjoying the mild temperatures while I’m at home on Vancouver Island Canada with temperatures in the mid 30s.
Greetings to you Doug in Canada. Hope your wife is finding the UK to her liking 👍. We much prefer mild temperatures as we are both useless in the heat 😂 . Fresher temperatures are better for our walking holidays too. Thanks very much for watching our video, we had a lovely time. All the best to you, Rob & Gail 😀
Been to Southport today
Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did 👍. Thanks for watching and best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
@@robswiseways5697 tyyy
Few weeks early Rob. We are booked in for the Flower Show which takes place in the adjacent park. 👍🏼
Hello Derek, we would like to have seen the flower show too but we didn’t realise it was taking place . Hope its a good event with matching weather ! Hope you have a happy holiday and all the best Rob & Gail 👍🙂
Another site under the radar if Harrogate Caravan Park. Adjacent to the show ground and ten minute safe walk to supermarket and bus stop into Harrogate or Wetherby. Plenty of great walks in this part of the world.
Just had a look and it looks a lovely site Derek but alas we only stay on fully serviced pitches. But thank you very much for thinking of us 👍😀
That silhouette to the left of Blackpool is the Isle of Man.
Hi Allan, whilst we were filming a local lady pointed out Black Combe to us. With the silhouette being only slightly left of Blackpool Tower I did check my map before commenting on the video. Thanks for your comment and best regards, Rob & Gail 👍
No it isn't. It is Barrow in Furness. Look on a good map
a) IOM is 70 mile from Southport, and at street level the Horizon is only 50 mile away.
b) From Southport the IOM bearing is about 30 degrees west Blackpool
Stating it is IOM is an urban myth with many Sandgrounders (Locals)
@@arthurdent2900 Hello Arthur, OS maps are the best 👍. I’ve just checked and Black Combe stands 500 plus metres above Barrow in Furness. There is a trig point North East of Barrow in Furness, at Furness, which is a mere 156 metres above sea level. But you are correct it’s definitely not IOM. Thanks for your comment, Cheers, Rob & Gail 😀
Normally a nice quiet town but sadly will now be remembered for tragedy like Dunblane & Hungerford. RIP little girls x
Yes agree Andy. A time of sorrow for Southport ❤❤❤
Only 40 mins from Triple C HQ 👍😁
So near yet so far Colin… I’m still fancying hot pot pie 🥧 😋 😂
