I think it’s a tad bit too expensive, I’d get bored for a whole week to be honest, just round the corner from there is Sherwood pines camping, I often go there to test out new tents & gear, I think we paid £15 a night, excellent facilities, showers, toilets, dog wash, drying rooms, exceptionally clean. Full access to the same walks in the forest. Can’t go wrong for that price.

That's a big tent ...no wonder the Mrs went camping 😉. Round about the 5:40 mark, Ruby got copped in the mirror trying out her bed 😆...well they did say 'dog friendly ' ! Ah, you're brave up North coping with snow...did Mary run off with your shorts when you were in the hot tub Ben? I noticed a marked reluctance to step out of the tub when she was filming 😁. Glad you had a great time...I thought your cabin was very swish, so £500+ isn't bad.

Wow, expensive. As a kid in the seventies we had holidays sailing on the Norfolk Broads because we couldn't afford to go abroad, now you can spend a month in Spain for the cost of a Broads holiday.

Ironically, the last time I was in Sherwood Forest was back in the 70s, November and was camping with the RAF (basic training out of RAF Swinderby). No posh cabins then! 8 man tent and a night roughing it in a two man Bivvy of branches and leaves, some map reading, getting lost and dodgy toileting. It was the first grown up introduction to proper camping, 🏕️ pretty wild back then. Would definitely have preferred a lodge. Thanks for the update. Great video. Cheers 👍🏻

Also did Denmark with the RAF under canvas which gave me the bug. Then did Denmark, Norway and Sweden backpacking & bikepacking three times after demob. With equipment that was ridiculously heavy. How things have changed 😀 which is why I’m grateful to your Channel for ideas, tents, equipment etc. Tried loads of stuff you’ve shown and girded loins and bought of EBay, Amazon and Temu. Good fun hunting down items. Thank you. Keep it coming 👍🏻
