3 Years with the Campervan - Have we just been lucky?

[@richardstainthorpe1342]

Great review guys, we really enjoy looking back on where we have visited as well. Agree a bit of planning goes a long way to ensuring a great time.

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you for watching & commenting x Time is very precious and we want to make amazing memories and enjoy our time off! It’s a great experience to look back - there were sites I had forgotten about! Loved making this video Rachel & David 💗

[@micksparrow8214]

Great video on looking back it’s amazing how everything adds up. I was watching Rachel when you were adding all the items and can see her eyes rolling saying “how much” 😂 I’m sure she wasn’t really but it does make you think.

Excellent vlog, thoroughly enjoyed it. I have picked a couple of sites based on your reviews for this year, Chainbridge and Hawes

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you Malcolm your support and feedback means the world to us x Chain bridge epic and the facilities top notch. Hawes don’t eat for going to the cheese factory - eat your way round the samples! 😂😂. Truly lovely site! Rachel & David 💗💗

[@nigel8712]

Brilliant vlog and so very useful - thank you for the hard work that goes into producing them. It will be one I watch again and again to help with future trips! As for being lucky - I think you make your own luck and your planning has certainly helped! Safe travels and keep up the brilliant work! 😊

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💗💗 Time is too precious and we need to ensure we have happy memories so planning is key. There are certain criteria when we decide where to go. Roxy is centre to that! 🥰 We do hope it helps you with planning & you enjoy your adventures as much as we have xx Rachel & David 💗💗

Great video, we are new to campervan travels and we got our van in October and been out 4 times now , always looking for ideas so your video has been useful , we have planned a trip to Scotland in may , starting from the bottom of loch Lomand and up to Ben Nevis , can’t wait as this is our first trip to Scotland, we are always in the dales and that’s as far north as we’ve been . So now we are going to look into your favourite sites . Phil

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you for watching & commenting Phil. There are some epic places in the Dales, I think we have a playlist of them! It’s one of our go to places - not too far but you can be in another world. The scenery is 🙌 Loch Lomand was beautiful and peaceful! We might meet you on our Scotland trip! Rachel & David 💗💗

Great video

Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💗 It was great to look back and remember happy times! Rachel & David 💗

A great review of the 3 years of CV ownership, certainly brings back a few memories - especially the early vlogs - remember the table of stuff before the van arrived and so true of what you actually need as opposed to what you think you need. Some great sites over the years and Hawes is one of my favourites. Seeing what the future has in stall for you guys will be interesting to say the least - I know our journey to the new van was a great experience. Look forward to the next one and also catching up again at some point 👍. All the best

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks Tim, its really interesting to look back and it brought back so many memories, you forget some of the great places and things , coming up with a top list is so tough as soon as you have picked one you think of another. Was really impressed with Hawes, should have gone there sooner, be nice to check it out in the warmer weather next time, not that we had bad weather for December though. All the very best, and thanks again for coming on the journey with us, David & Rachel ❤️

[@LeisureBit]

... pressed too soon, hope to catch you at come point in the year too :)

[@LeisureBit]

Ahhhh Karen thank you 🤩 I have gone dark & straight again! 😂 I loved looking back over 3 years of fun! Rachel & David 💗

Hiya David and Rachael. Where have them 3 yrs gone. Yes we've watched you're vlogs from the amble and warkworth one. Tonight's was a very interesting vlog especially explaining all the cost of thing's especially the adblu rip off. Looking forward to the 2025 journeys. From you're cumbrian Marra's have safe journeys. Malcolm and Sheila from Workington.

[@LeisureBit]

Hi Malcolm & Sheila can you believe it 3 years?!!! And what a small world that you know my dad! He is doing great - treatment finished so scan next! Then he needs to get back out with his tomatoes 🍅! Not a cheap hobby but an enjoyable one! Rachel & David

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Really enjoyed that review. We’ve just got back from the Edinburgh CAMC site and would be my choice for best nearest a city. We also had the best day out on the Royal Yacht Britannia. Might be worth a stop off when you go to Scotland. Take care Gill

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks Gill we have booked the Edinburgh site as part of our Easter trip as it happens. So if you give it the thumbs up that’s good to us! We fancied the Britannia and also the Globe! Thank you as ever Rachel & David 💗💗

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

@ I’ve not heard of the Globe so that would be interesting to see. You can’t take dogs on to the Britannia but I found a doggy day care centre near to it. I know they only take small dogs but she did mention a place nearby that takes larger dogs. Hope this helps.

[@grapesodatravels]

What a fab list of sites. I'll make some notes! We're in Scotland in April too. Where are you off to? We'd love to bump into you! N&Nx

[@joharper7365]

Hi both, really useful video, thanks! Are you able to let us know which coffee machine you have?

[@glyn829]

Very interesting guys 👍 its er quite expensive you could have some nice all inclusive holidays for that lol , were the same though as have a caravan and campervan hoping to get out more now the VWs finished, have a great 2025 👍👍 always remember the Christmas lunch you cooked in the van .. best wishes Glyn

[@LeisureBit]

The Christmas lunch 🥗 I remember it well! It isn’t a cheap hobby for sure but we have great memories and made wonderful friends all the way! Thank you so much and we might get to meet when you are out in the VW Rachel & David

[@King-otr23]

Great video to help with the planning for the years trips. We plan on doing our first pub stop in 2025 in north west england. Do you have any tips on how to find a safe stop?

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Ohhhh we love a good pub stop over. Don’t get me wrong we were worried on our first one but with research they can be a great choice. Research is the key plus what’s important to you. We like a big car park (we are rubbish at noise & late nights) Do you want access to a toilet? Read others recommends and feedback and look at the reviews on line. We also check out Google maps to see the surrounding neighbourhood Being dog friendly is also important to us. Good luck - let us know how you get on x Rachel & David 💗

[@King-otr23]

Thanks for the advice and giving us confidence to get out there. Will keep you posted!

[@vizmortlock]

Why hunt for a new van if this is so ideal? ( genuine question).
