Arriving At Dockray Meadow Caravan And Motorhome Club Site | Bailey Adamo 75-4i

[@mpaws]

Love watching your journey and arrival videos and chat even if it's raining lol

[@prou5]

I was just thinking how relaxed you looked when driving from the site at beginning of vlog, even using one hand to steer 😊, then a little way in to film saying how much you enjoy driving the Ford, you might not notice, but the smile on your face shows it.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, I do love driving it.

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi Bob and Jenny, Mrs satnag was on one wasn’t she ha ha , a lovely drive with some amazing views. A lovely site and loved the agility course, pups made me smile x

[@neildavis3593]

Stumbled across your channel a few months due to our love of Scotland and became hooked, ended up binge watching ever tour and have now finally caught up. Love watching you guy's, and little Poppy is such a character and Tara is so adorable. Enjoy the tour. P. S, I don't even own a motor home but just love your adventures. Neil & Jo

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for watching

[@lindylouwilliams8331]

Hi Bob, jenny, poppy and Tara, I hope you have a lovely time , the views look amazing, take care xx ❤

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

They are!

[@martincosgrove8879]

Going to Whitehaven end of May Bob really looking forward to it cheers for the video.

[@snowyowl539]

Great views from the site . That agility course looked great fun for dogs . I don’t think Poppy and Tara are too impressed bless them x

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No, not exactly obedience champions - unless food is involved...

[@christinegibbins6105]

Just love the agility run, bless them. Thank you both. enjoy your stay. Take care.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, will do.

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

I love my automatic camper, it’s so easy and enjoyable to drive. Another great video, thanks Bob.

[@paulnevins5936]

We were at Dockray Meadow 2 weeks ago - lovely site and the walk up to and Cogra Moss is worth doing.

[@outaboutwithmikedonna305]

Beautiful site and not to bad to access. Thank you guys for taking us along. Your vlogs are so helpful to us newbie’s. Best wishes Mike and Donna

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you, glad they help.

[@northlancsscotsman7475]

This is one of our favorite sites, nice and peaceful however you came off at the wrong turning, you’ve taken the narrower road, you need to carry on to the next turning following the brown caravan sign, the road is more open and a little wider.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

OK, thanks for that, we'll watch out for that next time.

[@tiakontikiadventures1536]

HI all, Ive booked in for Dockray CMC in a few weeks time, just as recovery get away after our Scottish Tour shenanigans in September. Looking forward to the peace and Quiet with just my baba's! Susie's going to love the Agility course! Hope it's still there by the time we visit! Thanks for the headsup!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

A nice quiet getaway!

[@LeisureBit]

Interesting site, haven’t been to that area for some time but went a lot when younger. The top end looked nice. Allonby is nice just above Maryport. Whinlatter worth a visit from memory. Also the pheasant Inn was always nice (you past it near Bassenthwaite Lake on the A66. You can’t beat the autos can you. Enjoy your break - all the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks

[@NG-cb7he]

Bob referring back to your previous video regarding your sat nav Could you try fitting into the bracket, with the bracket to the sat nav on if that makes sense. This should give you a bigger frame for bracket to grip. Just a thought. Any way enjoy your selfs you have given great review so far 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, yes I managed to do that, the Garmin friction mount fits onto the phone holder in it's horizontal position.

[@terrymoreland3814]

Glad you fixed that annoying rattle Bob, lets hope more sites take up the idea of an agility coarse much better than just a boring walk around the perimeter, those new drinking glasses look really nice 👍

[@jeanettedodd4460]

Really enjoyed that thanks Bob and Jenny ! I will keep that info for when we get our motorhome and we can come up there and visit our grandson who is living at Cleator Moor, doing a degree at Sellafield.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Great to hear, thanks

[@TimmysFavs]

I wish more sites would adopt this sites policy, there's nothing more annoying than struggling to find a suitable pitch to accommodate your motorhome because all the longer pitches have been taken by VW size camper vans / 115 size motorhomes! I haven't driven the Ford automatic transmission so can't comment on what it's like but we have the Fiat 9 speed automatic transmission and it's brilliant!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

They had reserved just one pitch for longer motorhomes, which was handy for us. I've heard good things about the Fiat 9 speed automatic.

[@TimmysFavs]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Nice they had reserved you a pitch Bob. I know most sites are first come first served but very often it's pot luck! So far so good with the Fiat automatic transmission. We only took delivery in December & apart from the drive home from Chichester hadn't driven it much until now having completed a two week tour of Scotland but the driving was effortless.

[@nicoladavies8555]

Hi Bob and Jenny just wondered how you get on with the netgear nighthawk with your fire stick in places like the Lake District where sometimes the signal isn’t that great which network do you tend to use ,do you ever have problems not being able to run the fire stick with the netgear on your travels thanks and enjoying all the videos 😃 oh the coast 2 coast path is a long distant path created by the great Alfred Wainwright

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Didn't have any problems in the Lakes, but struggled to get a decent signal at Loch Lomond.

[@therodgers2498]

Welcome back to Cumbria. We live in a little village near maryport . Hope your enjoyed your stay. We really enjoy travelling with you so to speak 😂 it’s great to see you exploring our neck of the woods. Safe trip.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes thank you, still so much for us to explorer and there.

[@vansforthememories]

Thought you’d entered Star Wars with C3PO for a minute ☺️ Haha Poppy & Tara not keen on the agility! Looks a nice site, are the pitches level? Thanks for sharing! Em x

[@andrewclarke7391]

Superb site. We visited last summer with our Autograph 75-2 and hadn’t realised there was a length limit - just scraped in there! Hope you enjoyed the stay in the lakes - or family hails from Workington and Maryport. Happy times up there! Liking your perspective on the Adamo so far! Safe travels - thank you both

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we could only go there because we had the Adamo.

[@andysteptoe6310]

You need an intense training routine for those hounds. Just thought to add as you're coming to Sussex a soon, no doubt you've got your site's sorted already, however I know you like peace & tranquility, so I know of a site on my delivery round at Keymer/ Hassocks which is near to Ditching. This is the Southdown caravan park, just in case you're interested. Also if you're lucky you might catch the end of the Rhodadendron ( spelling could be iffy) season in & around the north of the county especially around Handcross & surrounding area. Literally avenues of colour for long distances.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for the tip!

[@andysteptoe6310]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo You're always welcome. Here's another definitely visit (Lewes) castle, Anne of cleeves house, ruins of the priory of St Pancreas and most importantly the Brewery with attached shop in the High St.😍👍

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

I wonder if the creaking is coming from the seats maybe? wd under them? It only happens when going over bumpy bits. Sat nav sounded like she was saying a sailer went to sea sea sea 😂to see what he could see see see. ( sorry and old ryhme that we played a clapping game to)

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No, the creaking is above us, much less than it was now.

[@tomflowers2787]

It would have been nice if the tow bar had been fitted to see how the auto handles your up on the back.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

This motorhome can only tow up to 750kg, so I couldn't tow a car with it anyway.

[@andysteptoe6310]

I will say I'm glad you're enjoying the automatic gearbox on your motorhome, but I can assure you they are a different matter on our trucks. I drive a 7.5t DAF auto and it's bloody horrible. Go to pull out from a junction for instance & 2/3 seconds later it starts to move, so you can understand my aversion to them. Maybe smaller vehicles are more responsive?. We have several times hired them in Canada, but the distances are greater and the roads much bigger 😁. Hope you are both well & look forward to your trip down south 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Not noticed any delay when pulling away, quite the opposite.

[@andysteptoe6310]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo I think it's just the truck & the way it's set up to be honest, our newer vehicles are even worse 😂😂

[@sallyatchison7917]

Love your vidoes - Just wondering what the fuel tank size is and how many miles to the gallon do you get with the Ford and is it more thirsty than an manual drive?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Getting around 25.5mpg, slightly worse than a manual I think, but it's not done many miles. The tank is 80 litre capacity. I will be reporting on fuel consumption at the end of our tour.

[@glyn829]

Nice one 👍 looks a great motor home Bob

[@kennethwiggins7385]

If we did get another van, it would definitely be an auto. We changed our car last year, and had an auto. Would never go back to a manual now. The technology in them now are light years ahead of how they used to be, and economical, changing gear at the optimum time etc. Would you consider this Motorhome as the next one for you guys ?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Most definitely now.

[@phillipgoucher8519]

Well the dogs will not be going to cruffs

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Nope, I had no treats with me, different story then..

[@Robertonnz]

Hi Jenny and Bob - hope you're both well. I keep getting a "Bob Earnshaw loves your comment" message every morning from videos that are a few years old. I haven't commented for a while either. Wonder what's causing this?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, sorry that's me, going through the old comments, otherwise they stay in my list of comments I have haven't responded to.

[@Robertonnz]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo I see, Thanks Bob - take care

[@grahamwright8447]

Good video. Have been looking at these Baileys but would be very very disappointed at having spent £70k on one , having to listen to that creaking/rattle. Bailey have lent you the motor home to promote it I guess, but this quality issue would concern me.

[@hectorshouse7348]

You'll never buy manual again

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Probably not!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Your “arriving at” videos are brilliant. The C2C had me thinking though until it suddenly clicked when you said west to east 😉 We liked the Ducato Variomatic gearbox but the new gearboxes are much better. We have the 8 speed auto in the VW with stop start which is just a dream to drive and I am sure the Ford is similar 😃🚐 Trev
