So glad you missed the water Rach❤️ Brilliant choice for David’s birthday❤️❤️

[@LeisureBit]

Ehhhh it was clay mud. It was all over me! 😂😂 David’s talking about doing another tour so he must of enjoyed it 🙌 Rachel & David 💕

[@suzybeetravels]

Oh Rachel! Poor you taking a tumble. Hope you are ok. We are so glad David loved his birthday present and that he had a lovely birthday 😊 the tour is definitely well worth it. And the Keswick CCC is beautiful 😍 Great video as always you three ❤xx

[@LeisureBit]

You couldn’t write the irony of filming to say he careful then I just started sliding 😂😂😂 everyone was staring as I walked back to the van! 😂😂 David loved the mountain goat tour - in fact he is talking about doing another one! He keeps telling me useful facts that he learnt 😂😂 I hope you guys are in the sun by now?! Rachel & David 💕

[@suzybeetravels]

@LeisureBit we are in Canterbury and it's peeing down 🤣 get on the ferry tomorrow! Xx

[@lindafielding6733]

Another very informative video. Thanks to both of you for such useful vlogs.

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you very much, really appreciate the comment and pleased you find them useful. All the very best, David & Rachel ❤️

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Happy Birthday David. This is a site that I have been wanting to visit for some time now. It looks as good as it’s been described. Ooops Rachel, no injuries I hope 🤭 Looks like you had an amazing time in Keswick. Thanks for sharing, we really must go and see it for ourselves. 👍🏻😃🚐💙 Trev

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you Trev. It really is a spectacular site. The views are stunning and a short walk into the town. It is normally a nightmare booking for the site but we searched the night before and managed to get in! No injuries physically - just my pride as I had to talk back to the van covered in mud! 😂 Rachel & David 💕

[@danielrussell446]

Happy belated birthday David and what a great place to spend your birthday that campsite and scenery is amazing I would definitely love to do that tour and will look into it! Rachel hope you are ok after your tumble good to see you and Roxy also enjoying the lake it’s just stunning Must go and check Keswick out looks a great base and the pub lunch looked great! All the best you all Daniel

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks Daniel - appreciated. It was an amazing day and great tour and learned a lot and as you say in such beautiful countryside. Definitely worth checking it out! All the very best, David & Rachel 👍❤️

[@timw2973]

What wonderful views of the lake. Oh Rachel hope you didn't do a mischief when you slipped. Always nice having a pub lunch. The lakes are a beautiful area, and the trip was a great idea too

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks Tim - Rachel said nothing but her pride and she had to do the walk of shame back to the van covered in mud 😀 The lakes are lovely, can’t wait to go back and the trip was the best birthday present as learned so much - didn’t want to spoil it so very light touch in the video. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍❤️

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Happy belated birthday David. The bus tour looked great. Rachel I hope that you didn’t do too much damage when you slipped. Glad to see Roxy enjoying the lake. I’m been looking at going there next September but the weekend I wanted was already full. Think it will have to be a mid week for us. Take care Gill

[@LeisureBit]

Hi Gill - thank you - most appreciated. Rachel said she just got muddy rather than hurting herself which was great. Hope you manage to get sorted as it is a tricky site to get on - we booked it on the Sunday for the Monday and were lucky. Worth keeping checking. Yes Roxy loved the lake and really handy. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍❤️

Northumberland is a nice part of the country. We've stayed at Seahouse's at the Bamburgh Castle inn there between Boxing day and 30 December for 3 Years in a row there and one time at Lindisfarne inn really nice. Dinner & B&B for 99 pounds per night each A Bargain Malcolm

[@LeisureBit]

That’s great value for £99 - nice isn’t it. We stayed there last Christmas and it was nice.

[@thevigarfeeling]

Brillant video, well done for being a mountain goat 😊 who doesn’t love a great mountain ⛰️ looks like you had a fantastic time. All the best Chelsea and Mike

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks Chelsea & Mike it was a brilliant time. David loved the mountain goat tour! Rachel & David 💕

[@exploresandtosummit]

Another great video, I’ve used your channel a lot this year to visit several places you’ve recommended so thanks for that. Happy birthday 👍

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you - really appreciate your kind words and pleased it’s coming in useful. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍❤️

[@GENerationXplorers]

Happy Belated special Birthday David! Love your Lake District adventures! Looks another great site! O oh man down (or should we say Rachel down) glad a muddy leg was all you got from that slip! Oo a birthday adventure…. 60p to pee 😮 daylight robbery! We do like Ambleside! Great trip! Wow those meals back in Keswick look great! Have a great weekend guys ❤️

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you ❤️ it was a fabulous trip while Rachel was having a slip! 60p to pee was a bit steep. Lakes is great isn’t it. Have a lovely weekend too, all the best, David & Rachel ❤️

[@adventureswiththehoughtons425]

Great video, very informative. Sorry you had a slip will definitely watch out. x

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you - we went back to Keswick a few weeks ago and slipped on more duck poo! It’s lethal stuff! 😂😂

[@vanandcountry]

Happy birthday David. What a great trip. Looked like quite a big campsite too?

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you - appreciated- it was lovely and it is quite a big campsite, there’s another next door to it also / I believe some of it is closed in the winter and just the main bit open (but not 100% sure) - thanks again, all the very best, David & Rachel 👍❤️

[@tylerstravels0610]

Happy Birthday David, looks like you had a fantastic time, Poor Rachel though , just a shame it was n't on video 🙂 A lovely site, tried to book it for christmas but fully booked, so one for the new year i think 🙂 Food looked very nice and them cakes, yummy 🙂. Only been to Keswick once i think, that was decades ago, so need to revisit 🙂 Great vlog as ever, take care Trev Debz and Tyler

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks Trev - the site is always busy and booked up but we checked the night before this time and managed to grab a pitch. Maybe worth a try? Ehhh I slid down that hill 😂😂😂 the walk of shame back to the van with everyone looking at me! 😂😂 Keswick is fab - so much to see and do. Bob it on your list for next year! Rachel & David 💕

[@Wizardinthewild]

Site looks lovely. Nice site. Roxy’s own lake. 😂. Oh no the mud ! Did anybody film you going over 😮. Nice load of poo bags there Rach 😂. Great dog supplies shop. Ambleside looks nice as did Grassmere. What a really lovely tour. I said to Ellie you would get a coffee and cake. Not sure which one. Nice lunch too. To get the history of the stones is really cool. Great treat David. Nice trip and vlog guys. Thank you.

[@LeisureBit]

Rachel didn’t manage to get filmed or film herself going over - the camera is never on is it when that happens 😀 The tour was amazing and the driver told stories and facts all the way round and it visited some amazing places along the route. The Lake District is beautiful and we love it out of season as it’s not as busy then. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

[@karlospappy8908]

The Goats are really good, did Rachel enjoy David's trip as much as he did🤣🤣Was that George's TVMH special I spotted towards the end Cheers K.

[@LeisureBit]

David had a lovely time and I had a day of relax and my own little trip or should I say slip 😂😂 It was a different CV but we did meet George the weekend after! 💕 Hope you are ok Rachel & David

[@malcolmcharlton6954]

Hiya David Rachel and Roxy it's us again from Workington Another great vlog we've been to Keswick today really busy as it always is especially this time of year (Xmas) nice to see the town all lit up Didn't realise Keswick campsite was that big it's very popular as you know Enjoyed the mountain goat mini bus tour good value for money I thought Hope you are all keeping well are you going away for Xmas or staying at home Happy birthday to you as well From Malcolm and Sheila from Workington

[@LeisureBit]

Hi Malcolm and Sheila, hope you’re both ok. Thanks for the comment. Keswick is lovely and imagine even better all lit up. We thought the Mountain Goat was reasonable for the day and for the places you went to and the knowledge of the driver. Really enjoyed it. Yes we’re keeping well thank you - off to Northumberland for Christmas not sure for New Year yet. All the very best wishes, David & Rachel ❤️

[@glitteratiglitterati421]

Great choice Rach for David’s birthday❤. Amazing views over the lake too. So glad you just missed the waterxx

[@rosbodi693]

Try Braithwaite instead, top notch facilities, open all winter, great walking and on a bus route

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks for the tip - I had clocked that one and thought it worth a try at some point but really appreciate the endorsement. All the best, David & Rachel 👍
