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.

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.

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.

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.
@BobEarnshawMoHo3 жыл бұрын
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.
