enjoyed every moment of the road trip to get there. For those of us Ex-Pats who no longer want to make the long flight back, this is a real treat to see the towns, villages, shops and even the motorways and signage. The idea of being able to stop anywhere, brew up a cuppa, eat lunch and use the loo is a fabulous idea, no wonder you are hooked on a motorhome.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, one of the best things about a motorhome, you have everything you need with you.

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi Bob and Jenny, lovely site, great video, looking forward to your next one x

[@louisesmith4370]

Hi there...glad to see your having a good time and good weather too...enjoy and thanks for taking us with you..xx

[@mgoblue8168]

My great-grandmother was from Lincolnshire. (the Cliff Villages, Wellingore) We love visiting that area of England.

[@juliealderson8187]

Welcome to Lincolnshire. I can always tell if I’ve packed the van properly within five minutes of setting off and, hitting the first barrage of potholes😂😂😂

[@russellnewton6660]

I lived in Lincolnshire for over 20 years , strange looking at it but I enjoyed the pace at the time, nice and slow.

[@jkee7017]

When you said about the roads all I could think was welcome to Lincolnshire.

[@tinam7979]

Lovely video again , looks a nice site , it looks really cosy with the awning I love it x enjoy your stay look forward to your adventures x

[@JohnnyBurr]

I’ve book marked this site !! You put the awning like magic and you didn’t even break into a sweat 👍👍

[@Mike99Nine]

Looks a nice site.have a good time 😀

[@Scud_and_thesTig]

Good one 👍💙❤️

[@julianmusik6701]

Like your videos. Off to Clumber Park club site next weekend. Have fun.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

You too. Don't expect any phone signal at Clumber Park.

[@julianmusik6701]

Thanks Bob, we know, we’ve been before, usually head to the visitor centre to make any calls.

[@leobaker9988]

Hey guys hope your having a good time. Absolutely love Poppy.

[@bloggs730]

Thumbs up guys

[@AndysmGray]

11.30 Must be fun going down this road pulling a tourer......Not. Campsite looks nice. Quite unusual for the UK having one long road for the pitches. Excellent as always...............Andy.

[@robjamessolo]

We’ve just got our first mhome Bob and have only used our own loo due to the coronavirus - it’s fine as far as I’m concerned - great vids as usual

[@harrythehymersholidays]

Great to see you have finally made it to Lincolnshire! Lots of beautiful places around here. Lincoln has a castle, which I’m sure you would love. National Trust, Belton House, at Grantham, has lovely gardens and a large deer park. The Wolds are beautiful. I hope you enjoy your few days here, and come back again to explore other parts of the county. :)

[@Mr1967flyingv]

There is some great CL sites in the Wolds.

[@HowardB54]

Nice one again Bob We chose Delph Bank in preference to Long Acres, highly recommend. Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage is worth a visit - regular Lancaster Bomber taxiing and buildings etc NAAFI Café,

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We.go to the Aviation Heritage museum in the next video.

[@friarjaxmost-holy.17.46]

RS TURBO.....SEND IT.👊🏼

[@milkmagician3825]

I wanted to pick up on your comment about using your own toilet. I'm surprised by the number of people who insist on not using their own facilities. I've stayed at several CAMC sites since the lifting of lockdown restrictions and it seems most people want to continue using the toilet blocks, some even complain that they have to sometimes wait outside until someone vacates. We all need to do our bit to help our campsites remain open. A massive thanks to all the wardens on our campsites who are working hard to keep us safe. Thanks for what you do, I always enjoy your videos.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks I agree with you, those that can use their own facilities should and leave the toilet block for those who can't!

[@markmangan8586]

😊👍

[@callumburford6619]

You two should visit the sethorns campsite

[@Robertonnz]

Thanks both. Do you remember the VW Beetle Jeans Frosty back in the 70's?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No, afraid not?

[@Robertonnz]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo It was a Beetle with black bumpers and wing mirrors with a metallic paint finish - designed to attract younger buyers.

[@doglifehub]

Have a nice weekend! Did you fix your leaky awning?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

The concensus is it was condensation.

[@annemarsden2323]

We. Were thinking of going there in September but I am not so sure now I am wondering about the roads and our caravan 🥂

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Just take it slowly.

[@bobajob1524]

Hello Bob and Jenny. We are two adults and two teenagers and we use our own facilities in our caravan when we can / practicable. Since lockdown ended we have stayed on three sites, two with a served pitch and we used our own toilet and showers and most recently one standard pitch, where we used our own toilet and the campsite showers. I have to empty the toilet every day with 4 of us using it and I am willing to do this to keep my family safer. I now won’t use the shower in my caravan unless we are on a serviced pitch as I will also have to fill and empty the water and waste 5 times a day as well as the toilet. I am not on holiday to spend all my time waiting for water to warm up and filling up water butts every 30 minutes. I am on holiday to relax from a stressful job. After staying on a CMHC site last week, I now disagree with the CMHC stance on limiting people in the toilet block after queuing for the whole week. Every shower I went for, I had to queue with oap’s who shouldn’t / struggle to queue, children who are mixed up with strange men, people wanting a quick wee (short wait), men wanting the toilet (long wait) , men wanting shower shave toilet (very long wait) and everything in between. It was a large CMHC site and they only allowed three people in the one toilet block at any one time. Most people follow the rules and wait, but some won’t. The two non CMHC sites I have stayed at were fully open, no restrictions. If they can do it the CMHC should. Yes there is a global pandemic on, but we still all still need time to relax, support the economy and keep everyone safe. Limiting the toilets is causing more issues than it is curing. Just my 2p worth.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We are fortunate that there is just two of us, so we've chosen to keep out of the shower and toilet blocks, it is a pity that other people who don't need to be in there don't use their own facilities.

[@bobajob1524]

Bob Earnshaw this is where I struggle with my decisions. My family and I are fit and able and we have a modern caravan with full facilities . We could have used our own shower, on the CMHC site, but the holiday idea would have been lost as it would take us 2 hours to shower everyday and would take a huge physical effort by me to keep the water topped up and waste empty. I decided that was unacceptable and would ruin our holiday. Technically the only people who should have used the facilities on that site was the 6 tents, but most of us chose to do so for other reasons. Ahead of the CMHC upgrading all pitched to fully serviced, I now believe the CMHC should now provide free access to the toilet block and instigate more cleaning like most of the commercial sites have. If we have to pay extra for extra staff, that is the price of a holiday in a pandemic.

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

Hi Bob Jenny Poppy , your aloud groups of 30 people or more if a registered business. My favorite places to do my hobby are from York to Lincoln. i am wondering if your going to the aviation museum? just that is where we stay. Stay safe and enjoy

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, yes Aviation Heritage museum is the next video.

[@tommcgrady6067]

that roundabout at Newark is one of the worst there is,A lot of the motorhomes will have been going to browhills probabley

[@sarahashdown9056]

You should go to whitemead caravan and Motorhome park it’s in Wool, Dorset

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, perhaps when we next down that way.

[@mpaws]

[@markbur1503]

Bob, would it not of been easier to sling your hose under the motorhome instead of draping it all over the front seats?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, but I thought it was funnier?

[@HarryJ-xe2hf]

Hi Bob.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Hi Harry

[@copperknob1971]

Had the car at side of the road at about 11 minutes crashed ?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No think it had just pulled off the road.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Looks a nice site , just a shame about the roads

[@Tom-852]

Hi Bob & Jenny Was it warm again today?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No it was rainy then warm and now cool.

[@Tom-852]

Bob Earnshaw I was in Southport this morning. Southport Camc site was busy.

[@judithweekley7928]

Welcome to Lincs, we live not far from you where you are at Old Leake. That road you went on is one of the worst around here.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I suppose that's good to know.

[@friarjaxmost-holy.17.46]

Keep going bro..i love your stuff. Go safe m8....btw,our rottweiler isnt doing so good.hip and elbow displacia...but he comfy..he still watches poppy etc..so we got fingers crossed. Vet prescription was pricey...we ignored, he gets full strength cbd oil...its working m8.we so hapoy he gets up etc..he is 11yrs old...old.for the breed.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Our previous Westie had hip problems, they removed the femur head, and she coped quite well, but obviously a smaller breed.
