Some great answers there. A bit like us re TH-cam. Some channels we watch without fail, others we will watch if the topic is relevant , helpful or useful. Interesting hearing your plans for the future. 😊👍
Hi Rick and heather love the QA sorry for the late question. Where did you purchase your seat covers looking for some for our Chatsworth 860 caravan. Regards Dave.
Do you mean the fleece throws? Check one of the later comments from yesterday Heather put a link in when someone asked. Part 2 of the video tomorrow at 4!
I'm in CCC and CMC. I tend to think the CMC sites are a bit 'cut and paste' while the CCC sites are a bit more idiosyncratic. Having said that, my two favourites are both CMC sites, Nunnykirk and Englethwaite Hall, however neither of them has a facilities block. I might just be me, but the CMC seems more of a business than a Club. The DA pop up sites a great though. I want more of them. But the main thing I look for in a site is somewhere to walk the dog, and then generally, as Heather said, to consider 'where I'm headed. And a trip could be - I'm going to New England Bay CMC as my end point, how do I get there with sufficient stops on the way there and on the way back bearing in mid I want to call in on Loch Door or Culzean Castle while I'm out that way. One point about CCC sites is they do 'grass non-electric' pitches more often than CMC. When the CMC do them they use the term 'Economy pitch' as I recall, which seems a bit off putting.
Agree on that for definite, we don’t have a specific favourite site though but we definitely prefer the smaller sites 👍 thanks for the comment it really helps us. 🙏
Well done guys a brilliant video as ever and great to know more about the people behind the videos! Victoria and I also met the same way and now been together 19 Years with our two boys Joseph is 8 and ollie is 4
Very enjoyable. Its no good watching our channel as just lately we have only done one a year. It maybe even less as we no longer own a van. Its a long story.
Thanks for the Q&A, it's always nice to find out a bit more about people! We are a similar age to you and our plans for the future are much the same, sounds lovely to me. X
Fascinating stuff guys. Really interesting. Totally agree about the YT guys and also about the clubs We are only using the bigger club sites in Winter. No interest in being with hundreds of people. CL’s and CS’s are mostly brilliant! Looking forward to part 2 👍👍👍
Well done guys, we loved this, well answered, honest and humorous just what we expect from you both. Look forward to the next instalment. Best wishes H&M. 😊xx
Thanks as always both, we appreciate it, we can’t do anything but be “us” without the swearing takes a bit of editing (thank the lord for transitions hey?) 🙏😊xx
Eventually got to the end, totally agree about sites re- Summer/Winter.. I'm Uncle Tom and good lady is Auntie social.. lol. Another great video and looking forward to part 2, love how Poppy taps you, and you ignore her so she goes to Heather. Off to bed as a very busy day again tomorrow. Oh, btw, I retired early at 62, 12 years ago, and have never been so busy in my life. Go for it as soon as you can, It's surprising how you manage once you take the plunge... Enjoy..
Nice one guys, Totally agree with CCC & CMHC, probably going to let CMHC lapse as I'm not impressed. Problem with retirement is the pot of money whether it's saving. pension and or house collateral, we've finished at 57 and 58 and hope we have enough but hey who knows. Why is the back cushion on your van a different material? Cheers K.
We’ve let our C&MC lapse already although we will re join if required. The material isn’t different there isn’t a throw on the back (on the van review you can see the uncovered version)
Rick & Heather firstly thanks for answering my question, and secondly what a fun vlog that was, thank you for the laughs 😂😂 and I hope you remember your glasses 👓 for the second one 👍
Great video and a bit different - Heather do you do PLCs and stuff? I’m electronics rather than electrics and people always think it’s the same 😀 Think your right to do long term a bigger van with more facilities you couldn’t fit in a smaller one. My question if you do another one would be, given your (Rick) interest in older vehicles do you ever fancy doing up an older one again as a bit of a classic camper (expect in addition to your modern one) Thanks for the mention 😀 Have a great weekend, David & Rachel 👍
I don’t really have the time to invest in my love of old cars David, I got the Allegro in lockdown and enjoyed it but I rarely use it as I love camping so much, maybe in retirement I could invest more time but in fairness my shoulders are knackered from crawling under old cars and land rovers for most of my adult life.
I'm impressed at your levels of organisation and planning, I've been made redundant at least 7 times, the joys of working in start up biotech! Thanks for the mention 🙂👍
I also watch most of the TH-camr you mentioned and others you didn’t. All of the ones we’ve met have been super lovely even though I’m a little bit socially awkward. My question is, is there a place in the UK you’ve not been to but want to visit? Take care Gill
Do you want us to answer here or in a future possible video if we get enough questions? We find most people are nice on the whole but some “big” channels think they’re famous stars…..
Thanks for the lovely comments everyone, part 2 will be on Monday at 4pm and once live will show as a recommended video on this one.
Some great answers there. A bit like us re TH-cam. Some channels we watch without fail, others we will watch if the topic is relevant , helpful or useful. Interesting hearing your plans for the future. 😊👍
Plans change but we like to imagine a nice small house somewhere and lots of exploring 😊

A great little Q&A will catch up with Part 2 shortly.
Nice cl at Cannock Chase called Spring Paddock, only about 500 yards from the chase. Good dog run and all facilities.
Thanks 🙏 will check it out 👍
I agree the Camping and caravan club seems better value and just seems better all round. How old is Poppy and what breed is she?
Watch Monday until the end (it’s like you watched us film it!) 🤣
Well done guys a brilliant video as ever and great to know more about the people behind the videos!
Victoria and I also met the same way and now been together 19
Years with our two boys Joseph is 8 and ollie is 4
We enjoyed doing it, congrats on 19 years!
Really enjoyed watching this episode and looking forward to the sequel 😊
Appreciate it 👍 Monday at 4! 😊
Enjoyed this Q&A looking forward to part 2 😃
Thanks! Monday at 4pm 👍
Very enjoyable. Its no good watching our channel as just lately we have only done one a year. It maybe even less as we no longer own a van. Its a long story.
Ooohhhh long bad or good story? Hope nothing bad! Thanks for the comment appreciate it.
Really enjoyed watching this. Another question for you …… what have you used to put your fairy lights up? 😊
Cable management self adhesive clips with small cable ties 😊
@@RickandHeather thank you. 😊
Thanks for the Q&A, it's always nice to find out a bit more about people!
We are a similar age to you and our plans for the future are much the same, sounds lovely to me. X
Let’s hope the premium bonds come up sooner rather than later 🤣 the next part is Monday at 4 x
@RickandHeather we can but hope!
Another great video. Can I ask where you got your seat covers as just what we are looking for? You have good taste ;-)
Do you mean the fleece throws John? If so I’ll get Heather to put an Amazon link.

I only need my glasses to read so it’s not an issue (part 2 is just a continuation of this as it was too long so same day same location) Monday at 4pm
Thanks for answering.Good honest stuff. 👏Poppy starring again 😂 So, adding on to the sites- do you do/like pub stops-seeing as you like pubs?
No problem thanks for asking 👍 we do pub stops yes, plenty of vlogs on the channel. More likely to do them this time of year.
Hi great video. They are always funny and interesting. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the next one. Well done.
Ahhh thank you 🙏 far too kind 🤣 Monday at 4pm for the second instalment 👍
Great video and a bit different - Heather do you do PLCs and stuff? I’m electronics rather than electrics and people always think it’s the same 😀
Think your right to do long term a bigger van with more facilities you couldn’t fit in a smaller one.
My question if you do another one would be, given your (Rick) interest in older vehicles do you ever fancy doing up an older one again as a bit of a classic camper (expect in addition to your modern one)
Thanks for the mention 😀
Have a great weekend, David & Rachel 👍
Yes David the panels have PLCs controlling the plant.
I don’t really have the time to invest in my love of old cars David, I got the Allegro in lockdown and enjoyed it but I rarely use it as I love camping so much, maybe in retirement I could invest more time but in fairness my shoulders are knackered from crawling under old cars and land rovers for most of my adult life.
@@RickandHeather thanks Rick, not sure where time goes these days - everyone retired always seems to say the same too. All the best David 👍
I'm impressed at your levels of organisation and planning, I've been made redundant at least 7 times, the joys of working in start up biotech!
Thanks for the mention 🙂👍
Your questions are answered in part 2 on Monday 🙏
@@RickandHeather I think we also need to hear more about Heather's motorcycle camping 👍
@@ttxela the video link is in the description (Honda Gold Wings)
I also watch most of the TH-camr you mentioned and others you didn’t. All of the ones we’ve met have been super lovely even though I’m a little bit socially awkward. My question is, is there a place in the UK you’ve not been to but want to visit? Take care Gill
