Good video. This is a site that appeals to us. Something to look forward to after lockdown 😊👍

[@janepowell5679]

I stayed at Moffat at the end of my Scottish tour. I met a car and caravan coming out as I arrived. They were obviously late leavers and looked at me like I shouldn’t have been there! 😂 That was interesting! 😂. I also noticed the plastic glove dispenser at that service station. It’s a great idea. Each time I visit Moffat I found different shops etc. It’s a handy stop over and the area warrants longer than just one night to break a journey.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we like to stay longer, plenty to visit in the area too.

We've stayed a number of times over New Year in Moffat.... We were booked to stay over NewYear 2020/21 but now cancelled due to the current situation..... We couldn't get in 2019/20 and we were so looking forward to returning with our friends this year..... Gutted but we felt due to all the restrictions the 740 mile round trip was too much with so much uncertainty. The New Year firework display must be very doubtful. Hopefully next year..... Thank you for the great vids.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I know it's a very popular site, especially at Christmas and New Year. Let's hope things improve by then.

[@mikeco3785]

Great to watch your videos👍🏻 I’ve never been to the Moffat site even though it’s not to far from me in Northumberland just 4.8 mile south of the Scottish border on the A68. I might try to go there in late December if I manage to pick my new 2020 Delaware S up from Brownhills as it’s been delayed due to the new lockdown so it’s pencilled in for 10th of December handover. Looking forward to your next video best wishes to Jenny and yourself and Poppy of course.

Hi Bob and jenny,jenny is correct about the grass pitches down the bottom end.we stayed on them early 2018,I think,along the fence line.they were bad for flooding so they put them all to hardstanding.i was there in November 2021 and they were updating the bottom end again,new electricity cables and sorting the pitches I think

A well deserved complimentary stay. Always make us feel like we are there with you, brilliant choices of sites, and lots of useful information about the area, etc. The Scotland tour has been especially interesting, for us, as you didn’t take your car along. All in all, how did you find it, just touring in Thor? You certainly didn’t seem to have any problem getting about and visiting places. 👍🏻

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We enjoy touring with just the motorhome, but having the car gives the extra flexibility when we want to stay longer.

[@prou5]

Do you use the fuel discount card (fuelpecker) from the Caravan & Motorhome Club? Use it at Esso stations & save roughly £1 per fill up, can be used at Shell also,but you only save 1p per litre.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Did try the other fuel card they did, but to be honest I can't be bothered hunting around to save a few pence per litre. I just avoid motorway stations.
