Hello Sue, This was such a pleasure.

[@CamperVanya]

Hiya 👋. Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@JC.Journey]

Hi, Sue. It's always wonderful to see you out exploring with Vanya. Happy Travels to you! -Jody

[@CamperVanya]

Hello Jody, how are you? I hope you’re well and enjoying lots of great travels. Thanks for watching 😊

[@johnhowarth8822]

Hi Sue. Lived near Cheltenham for 36 years. Lovely area around there. Thanks for bringing back happy memories.

[@CamperVanya]

Oh that’s good to hear. You’re welcome! Such a lovely area to have lived.

[@GENerationXplorers]

We have never been to the Cotswolds but it looks rather nice, lovely to be back on the road with you Sue! What an earth was that green gooey stuff going into your bike tyre 😳 love how you show the driving then screen in screen yourself and what you are thinking 👍 oo marvellous an adult only site so no noisy children! The pitches with the hedges making it private is cool, wow £20 that’s really reasonable, great set up to come back to after your explore of the town! Looked a lovely walk into the town very picturesque and some great history, nice to see bookshops still thriving! Fish and chips looked nice and how lovely did Wendy look ❤ where’s the sunshine? Oh no egg on your face and jumper 🤣 wow great shots of the bird! Oh no a realignment needed of your canopy but the only spanner in the van?? 😂 🔧 farm shop looked nice! Fluffy hens! Great choices in the shop looks a great one you got some very delicious treats! Looking forward to your next one and further ones this is going to be a fabulous series! Have a great week Nick and Jill 👍

[@CamperVanya]

Hi both thanks for watching. It was a joy to make this one. Bibury was always high on my ‘To Do’ and didn’t disappoint 😍 x

[@CampervanTales]

Nice to see you out and about again Sue. We love Burford, it's a while since we were there. Good to hear the hens are now wearing heels down that way rather than just crocs😂 Hope the awning is now behaving.

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks chaps! I haven’t used the awning yet since so I’ll have to wait and see but fingers crossed it’ll be sorted. Have a lovely weekend x

[@flibbertyj1625]

I enjoyed that and have added Burford to my ever growing list.Thanks Sue 👍

[@CamperVanya]

It’s definitely worth a visit and the campsite was a perfect location 👍🏻

[@DesGreene]

Hi Sue. Lovely looking town! Hard to beat all that lovely warm Cotswold stone👍 Nice site too. I like those simple sites for a night or two, and it does save you a few quid! All the best and take care👍😊

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Dee hope you’re well. Yes the beautiful honey coloured Cotswold stone houses look so beautiful. The site was a great little find. Really happy with my stay there 👍🏻

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM Another childhood memory sparked with this visit, Sue... My father had a field office in Burford at one point and I recall that amazing high street! Lovely town that I stayed in for two nights at age ten and have never forgotten. That campsite looks wonderful - and I hope that canopy was properly sorted... YAM xx

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Yam, what lovely Burford memories you have. The awning hasn’t been tested yet since then so time will tell .. x

[@paulcoombes8657]

Another great video Sue. Keep up the good work.

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks very much Paul. The next one’s even better. One of my faves! 😬

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Enjoyed that. We love Burford. That site looked very relaxing and nice to spoil yourself with some farm shop goodies 😀👍

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks for watching. I can see why you love Burford. Mine was quite a flying visit but I got a good taster and it was nice to have escaped to a more peaceful campsite 😉 😁

[@stuarthall2523]

Visited the cotswolds about 10 years ago. Took the bikes and did Broadway and Burford. Lovely part of the coutry. Enjoyable video. X

It was a great little find and such a pretty area to visit xx

[@gilltagg3352]

Lovely to see Burford. My father use to be a policeman there with the police house at the top of the hill. Views are stunning. ❤

[@CamperVanya]

Aw that’s lovely. Did I get his old police house in the video? It was a busy little town with gorgeous buildings 😊

[@CamperVanya]

Ah, thanks Jan. Burford was lovely even though it was only a flying visit. It’s amazing what you can fit into even a short stop. Bibury in the next vlog was a real treat too x

[@cherylsimpson6816]

Beautiful looking little site that.😊 We had that happen with our awning in the wind. We wound it out and Ste managed to shove it over luckily xx

[@CamperVanya]

Burford looked so lovely! I definitely want to go there someday. Having been brought up in the Midlands we did go to the Cotswolds a few times but never to burford. ❤️

[@CamperVanya]

Definitely worth a visit for a mooch around the town. I’m sure there’d be more to see too given more time. Happy travels Colin x

[@HelenandMartinsTreks]

Lovely watch Sue , great to see you back , we haven’t been to that part of the Cotswolds, we’re clearly missing out. Your videos are really therapeutic. Best wishes Helen and Martin

Thank you both. Good to be out again. I need to catch up with your vlogs too 😊👍🏻

[@TheSlawsAdventures]

Glad you got your editing sorted! The Cotswolds are lovely aren’t they? The site in Burford looked perfect ❤ Never mind your wind out issue, Slaw was palpitating because you had no storm straps on 😂 We loved Burford and Bibury. Looking forward to your next adventure 🚍☀️ By the way, I think the chickens were Silkie Bantams xx

[@CamperVanya]

Hiya yes the Cotswolds were every bit as beautiful as I’d expected. The Burford site was a great little find. I never use the storm straps but do have some (in the garage at home 🫢). I never put the awning out in the wind but wonder whether a gust in the night may have caused the movement now … Does Slaw recommend that I use them at all times then? 🤔 I’m all for taking his advice on that. Ooh I love the name silkie bantams and they were cute (but “hens in heels” worked better as an expression 🤣). Thanks for watching xx

[@Harris70-70]

Hi Sue, glad to see you back on your travels again . Look forward to the next instalment 😊

Hiya and thank you. The next vlog at Bibury should be a good one. It was fab in every way 😊

We have been to Wysdom and thought the same as you its perfect just like a country garden. Didn't know about the farm shop though so will have to return. lol. Another great vlog.

Thanks George. To me it was a gem of site. So peaceful with just birdsong 👌🏻

[@annbletcher9410]

Good to see you on your travels again and what a beautiful site. Bur Ford is very pretty but busy. The first time we went we found Sheep Street which is off on the right as you climb up the hill. The offices of The Countryman magazine used to be there and the little garden at the back was open to anyone for free. One of those serendipitous (is that a word? 😂) finds. Next your off to another favourite village - Bibury 💕

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Ann. Thank you. Yes Burford was very busy as it was the school holidays too. Great to see bustling high streets these days though. I was itching to see Bibury next and it didn’t disappoint! 😍 x

It's good to have you back Sue. I'm going to Arran next month, and I've been looking at your previous posts again to get inspiration. 👍👍👍

So have I, watched then all this morning. I was thinking of going up to Arran in October, but I'm wondering if that is to late in the year?? 🐸

Thanks very much! Lucky you, Arran’s a gem and I’m glad my vlogs from there help with inspiration for your trip. Say hello to Arran from me! Safe travels 👍🏻

[@janetbowen7854]

Brilliant video, Sue, great to see you back with us 😍 Burford and Broadway are beautiful, we might pick a time outside of the school holidays for a return visit. We haven't yet stayed on a "no facilities" campsite, but I expect in order to get the perfect location, we will need to pluck up the courage to prime the Portaloo 🤣I'm ok with a flannel and a bowl of hot water in place of a shower 🚿. Looking forward to the rest of your Cotswolds trip. Cheers Janet xx

[@CamperVanya]

Thanks Janet, I like no facilities sites now and then as they tend to be more rustic, cheaper and in some really good locations 😊👍🏻 x

I’m glad I visited and made the most of the time I had there. The awning isn’t sitting 100% flush and I haven’t had it out since so may need properly looking at by someone in the know.

Hi Sue, great to see you again. We miss you and Vanya so don't be away too long! Pick your brains time: this happened so fast for my ageing eyes... you pointed your sat nav at the next target.

Take care and keep doing what you're doing! Onward! And never give up! Bri would be so chuffed with you I'm quite certain. Best wishes, Pam xx

Hiya Sue, I know you were pushed for time in Burford, but did you get down to the river? There's a great car park tucked away at the back of Burford by the river, and it's free if I remember rightly. Me and "Kermit" spent a lovely day there back in April. 🐸

[@CamperVanya]

That sounds ideal for a day out there. I just parked on site and took the bike out. I did walk right down to the bottom by the bridge. Such a lovely and lively high street.

[@CamperVanya]

If there’s trouble to be had I’ll usually find it 😆👍🏻

[@redditchscroller7049]

Nice video, a few of those places are fairly local to where I live. Have to say, I was horrified to see your Halfords so called bike technician trying to squirt puncture sealant into your inner tube. If they can't even fix a puncture in a tubed tyre what are they doing anywhere near any customer's bikes!!! I bet they charged you for a new tube and the sealant they used and I hope they cleaned out the inside of your tyre as well. I would not let any Halfords so-called technician anywhere near any of my bikes! I do know that there are ladies only courses available to learn things like this, maybe worth looking into when you get home?

[@CamperVanya]

I honestly wouldn’t know a good technician from a bad one but he did fix the problem and it has stayed fixed. You are so right though, I need to skill up on this stuff as I was never involved with bike maintenance before. Bri did all of that. Must prepare better 👍🏻 Thanks for watching 😊

[@CamperVanya]

Hi Chris. I don’t think I worded it well. There definitely are facilities included: EHU, water, Elsan disposal & grey waste disposal (I list them in the vlog) but no toilet/showers. All in all I thought it a reasonable price for a one-nighter given the privacy & size of the pitches, beautifully kept grounds and site location. My stop before this had been at a C&MC site which was £33 a night. OK it had toilets/showers but to me that was steep for a member. It wasn’t half as pretty or peaceful either. Current prices have got me questioning my 2 club membership renewals and I haven’t renewed my C&CC this year.
