Arriving At Castleton Caravan And Motorhome Club Site

[@peteandmaggie8570]

This is the first site we used 28 years ago when starting caravanning with it being on my door step...and still use it regularly when we can.

[@mpaws]

Enjoyed this video very much. It's nice to listen to you both chatting on the journey, seeing the signs and just hearing the natural sounds of the road. Lovely scenery once again and great shots of little Poppy.

[@lindylouwilliams8331]

Another great c& c camping area, looks lovely i hope you get some nice weather for your 3 days, have a lovely time jenny, Bob & beautiful well travelled poppy xx

[@andykemp6739]

Great video Bob and Jenny. Love seeing the route and the scenery on the way and of course your chat.

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

Hi Bob,Jenny & Poppy , that road by Matlock looked a bit scary. Reminded me of the horseshoe pass by Llangollin. I have my own stickers if i ever see you just the one of my pic here lol stay safe all

[@mandybarker5673]

Hi Bob and Jenny, We are new to your site and and are loving all your videos, the chat and all your adventures together with Poppy and occasionally Tara. It's very addictive!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much

What a nice drive on your way to Castleton love ever mint of it been on them roads love the video Bob & Jenny and Poppy .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much!

[@janepowell5679]

I’ve been to this site. We did the Devils Arse caves. The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We got slightly “Blue Johned out” though so they allowed us to transfer our booking to Chatsworth and we really enjoyed it there. 😊

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, imagine doing the Victorian tour though, 10 hours!

[@jacquiwebster5344]

Really enjoying your videos. Definitely had to watch this one as it's very close to where I live in the Hope Valley area of the Peak District. Seems slightly odd after watching lots of your other videos, to see roads and houses flashing by that I personally know so well on your way up to Castleton.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for watching!

[@suzybeetravels]

Looks like a nice site. Not that far from us either. We will have to give it a try 😁. Informative vlog. Thank you both 💓

Great driving as usual Bob & of coarse Jenny for navigating, maybe you two should take up Rally cross! lol

We’re off to Castleton next week for a 3 day mid week mini break. It will be our 3rd visit in 4 years.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We often go back to the same sites, trouble is, we've filmed some so many times!

Wait until you see the next site 😁👍

Hi Bob & Jenny. Just found your channel. We bought our first motor home late Nov 2021. A 54 plate Swift Sundance 530LP 2 berth. Its my 60th birthday on 10th Jan 22. We are thinking of coming to the Castleton Caravan & Motorhome Club site for the weekend of 8th to 10th Jan 22. For 2 nights, leaving on Monday 10th Jan. We live at Worksop, so its only just over an hour away from our home. We have joined the Caravan & Motorhome Club. We too have a Westie. She is called Sally, and will be 14 years old on 22nd Jan 22. We also have a 7 year old Cockapoo called Sadie. We will be bringing the dogs with us. You have got our sub, and I look forward to viewing more of your video's. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for subscribing. Nice early birthday present there. Castleton is great for the town and its pubs or if you fancy a little hike. Have fun, great adventures ahead!

[@Andy.Gledhill.Models.]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Thanks. Looking forward to many adventures ahead. We will definitely be going for a walk around town on the Sunday. Are the pubs dog friendly?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, I believe most of them are. We won't have been to any that weren't. 😁

[@audiophileuk1341]

Wow..jenny is amazing at knowing where she is ...haha

[@tommcgrady179]

the road you avoided down Winnats pass once drove an ex BT pole erection unit with a 10 m pole on from chapel en le frith to next job in castleton down it ,Oh what jolly fun had to throw a perfectly good pair of underpants away!!! moral never belive a BT Planner

Well I don’t know how you get poppy to like having her photo taken ours were a nightmare when we tried it 😂 - Kim and Andy

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

She's still a bit camera shy!

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Not seen or heard of the the two peg system, is this something the CAMC is bringing in or is it just on a few sites?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Think it's going to be all sites eventually. Works much better.

[@janebrooking5232]

Hi, Bob and Jenny, Rather a cheeky request but would you consider adding the names of the villages and towns you pass through? ( on one of your yellow banners maybe?) This video is of a beautiful area. Am loving it, thank you.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, I forgot to put a map at the front of the video, but I will try to remember to say where we are. I did put chapters in the video, which say where we are.

[@taylor8199]

Glad to see you avoided Winnats, many don't. Quick question (maybe a stupid one but I'll ask anyway), what's the waste water tap I always see next to the drinking water tap on sites?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's for rinsing your waste water container out.

[@taylor8199]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Thank you. Loving your channel and Jenny is an absolute gem. So pleased you are on our home turf, I hope you have a wonderful time, it's so busy at the moment.

[@steve130361]

Great video again thank you. When you were talking about non-awning pitches it made me wonder if a rollout Fiamma type awning is allowed or is that stretching the point a bit? Keep up the good work!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It depends on the site managers, best to ask. We were allowed to put out a canopy on a non awning pitch at Bunree when we asked.

[@steve130361]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Thank you for replying. I thought that might be the case.

[@sydgough7128]

that's a canopy not an awning , we do.

[@steve130361]

@@sydgough7128 with all due respect that is playing with semantics. Mine is a Thule Omnistor and Thule list them under the heading of awnings as do Fiamma. Neither refer to them as canopies. Therefore I would prefer to take the reasonable approach suggested by Bob.

[@markbur1503]

All these roadworks are everywhere, it really does grind my gears, they could of done all these last year in the lockdown. Virtually no traffic when everyone was told to stay indoors anddont go out or you will die...On a lighter note, we really like Castleton Site as its a gentle walk into the village with a few nice pubs and places to eat.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, you get the feeling the road network is falling to peices.

[@richardspeight9520]

Roadworks during a lockdown, really? Risking greater pressure on the NHS and staffing, which still hasn't recovered. I see your point , but you missed the big picture

Hello Bob and Jenny from here in overcast Macclesfield! As caravaners contemplating motor homing we're enjoying your videos which we have just discovered. Some of the sites you visit we have been to which makes it more interesting as well. Could I ask, why do you put the cover on the front window on the outside instead of using the van blinds? We're assuming as experienced campers you've found this is better, but why? Regards Karen Ledgar.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for the question, Quite a few reasons. Compared to the Remis blinds: In the summer it reflects the heat better and keeps the cab cool. In the winter it helps keeps the heat in. It stops condensation forming on the inside of the cab window. It provides better privacy. Finally it means I can leave my dashcam and GoPro camera mounted to the winscreen.

[@marienicholson5363]

Hi Bob and Jenny. Love your videos👍We are shortly changing from a caravan to a new Kon Tiki motorhome the same size as yours. Can you please tell us what tyre pressures you run at? I know there a lot of different views on this, and we find it totally confusing. Many thanks Marie Nicholson

Bob quick question if you could only join one club which would it be and why CCC or CMC?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

The Caravan and Motorhome Motorhome Club, mainly for the flexible online booking system and no deposits.

[@CaravanWithThatYorkshireChap]

[@CaravanWithThatYorkshireChap]

Amazing, the one peg system has worked since time began. Looks like new members can’t understand how it works. It’s not rocket science 🙈

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I suspect it saves time rather than having to say "if you're reversing in, park with the peg on the drivers side and if you're going in forward, park with the peg on the passenger side" and having a diagram to explain...

[@davidsykes5791]

Bob is it easy walking to shops and town centre for tea rooms etc

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

About 10 minutes walk.
