Park Foot Holiday Park, LAKE DISTRICT Easter 2024

[@vanandcountry]

Hi there. You can't beat a lovely boat trip. These things do seem so much higher in cost now and are more of a considered purchase rather than disposable money. Well done both and more great work by Racheal taking the helm with the vlogging.

[@LeisureBit]

It does make a difference 1 person going v 2. To be honest I had already been on it and I was more than happy playing @ the lake with Roxy. I quite often forget to film 😂😂 Thank you for your kind feedback though it might spur me on to do more! 😬 Rachel & David 💕

Hi David Rachel and Roxy. So glad the weather held out for you. It was a decent weekend over on the west Coast. We spent easter Sunday down at Ravenglass people watching at the la'al ratty otherwise known as Ravenglass and Eskdale railway. And sitting by the sea with coffee and cake. That site is so massive and nice to see investment in it it'll be chaotic in the summer months.Weve been battered by Storm Kathleen this weekend big style a few trees down just outside town. All the best till next time. Malcolm and Sheila from Workington.

Hi Malcolm & Sheila we were all so lucky with great weather on the bank holiday weren’t we! Ohhh I like the Ratty - we went last year and it was great! Yes the site is huge, but the new bit is really good. It will be better when the new toilet block is opened mind! Storm Kathleen was bad wasn’t it! Stay safe x 💕💕 Rachel, David & Roxy

Fantastic vlog and very interesting. We had a day at Pooley Bridge last year and popped in the Crown for lunch. The river had burst its banks at the time. If I remember rightly the new bridge is the first to be constructed of stainless steel.

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you guys - we love Pooley Bridge and we were really shocked how nice Park Foot was now. I bet it was interesting in the crown with the river busting its banks! Did it come high up? I am a softy and liked the old bridge better x Thank you so much for your comment - it means the world to Rachel & David 💕

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

We went there about 10 years ago and had a lovely time. I said it would be nice by the lake so I’ll have a look further into it now. We also went to Waterside, just down the road, over 30 years ago. I want to go back as it’s the first place Steve and I camped together. I know the site has changed a lot so it will feel like a new place. Take care Gill

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you - that's lovely, it's great to look back isn't it - It's definitely changed some, we did Waterside House on a previous visit and liked how close you can get to the lake there. We did like Park Foot even though it's a couple of minutes wander and it was great to go back. I'm sure you will remember lots of it as it was - it hasn't changed that much in the past 15 years. All the very best, David & Rachel ❤️

Never mind tradition, im with Rach on this one, steak pie all the way 🙂 looked very very nice. We have to go to the Lake District again, been years for us, the weather is always a bit hit and miss, but when it rains ..... Pooley Bridge is defo one for us to do, a very nice site as well, great choice. Boat trip worth doing, £24 though !! Drone footage was superb, and grear informative video as ever 🙂 Take care, Trev Debz and Tyler x x

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you - The fish and chips were lovely, each to their own though lol 😀 Lake District is lovely, yes it’s expensive, yes it gets busy and yes it rains a lot but the rain is what makes it look as it does of course. The boat trip was great, just pleased it was a solo trip on the wallet, that said, it’s over 2 hours of stuff to do so £12/hour which isn’t too bad eh and a couple of quid off in discount too. Thanks again, Catch you soon, all the best, David & Rachel ❤️

[@vansforthememories]

I will look forward to watching this, I have wondered what this site is like, will tune in later. Em x

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks Em, hope you find it useful 😀 All the best, David & Rachel x 👍

[@vansforthememories]

It looked great 👍 Will put on the list, not too far away from us. Thanks, Em, G & Charlie 🐶

[@lindafielding6733]

Great informative vlog as always. I expected the area to be overcrowded for Easter but it looks ok in your video

[@LeisureBit]

Hi Linda thank you for your kind feedback. The site was full & therefore quite busy but the new section is so well spaced out it didn’t feel overcrowded. I think the wet weather just before the weekend helped as the “non” pitch camping area was so boggy I think it kept some away. Rachel & David 💕

[@connorjohnson763]

Just passed yesterday when we had a look out from Troutbeck camc, block work is quite high up on the new shower block I'd say be open for July but I'm no builder 😂

[@LeisureBit]

That’s great news! We really did enjoy the stay. The new pitches are amazing x Was Troutbeck good? Rachel & David

[@timw2973]

That must be the smallest pitch you could have chosen 😂. You defiantly looked like you had a fab time on a nice site.

[@LeisureBit]

It was a tough squeeze getting on it but we managed! 😂😂 huge huge huge pitch! I love the lake it’s just so pretty and also my best friend would stay there for hours! In fact she did! She needed putting on her lead to bring her away! 😂😂 Thanks Tim Rachel & David 💕

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Sounds good, fully serviced lake side. Shop looks amazing. Great drone shots. My kind of place. Thank you.

[@LeisureBit]

The Lake District is lovely to visit isn’t it - our van was lost on the pitch, there was a Kontiki behind us and even that looked very spacious on the pitch, I think it’s the biggest pitch we’ve had on a normal campsite 😀 Hope you’re both having a lovely weekend, thank you, all the very best, David & Rachel 👍

[@danielrussell446]

Hi David and Rachel what a lovely place to spend Easter such a stunning area and one which I really need to explore myself! It looks a good base a well maintained site good facilities and great food as well some friends of ours have said about pooley bridge as well looks like you had great weather as well Roxy looks like she enjoyed the water as ever! just perfect for Easter weekend all the best to you all Daniel

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you - It was a great place to spend Easter, all be it was a little worried about how busy it was going to be, but all good - it's a beautiful area and well worth checking out when you get the chance. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

[@momarsden3053]

Another cracking vlog guys thank you. It looks an awesome place to visit. Top marks David for some nifty reversing onto that tight pitch!! 👏😂. Regards, Mo 😊👍

[@LeisureBit]

😂😂 it was tough going Mo but David just managed to get on pitch! 😂😂 It really is a beautiful part of the world! Roxy loved it x Rachel & David

[@malcolmditchburn2834]

Majestic scenery David

[@LeisureBit]

It’s beautiful isn’t it - you struggle to beat the Lake District - all the very best, David 👍

[@elizabethcutrofello2572]

Absolutely wonderful! I enjoyed “my ride” on the Western Belle. I loved exploring an area that I was not familiar with, and seeing all of the nooks and crannies you always point out. Sending all good thoughts from Essex, Connecticut ❤ Liz

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you so much, really appreciated - really pleased you enjoyed it - there's so much to explore isn;'t there. All the very best from us both, David & Rachel ❤️

[@malcolmditchburn2834]

That was some Cumberland sausage on your plate Rachael😮

[@LeisureBit]

If you are going to have a sausage may as well go large! 😂

[@paulfox5248]

Another great video guys. Very informative & enjoyable. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next one ❤

[@LeisureBit]

Thank you x let’s hope this rain stops for the weekend then back out. X Rachel & David 💕

[@Wizardinthewild]

Lovely place to spend Easter. Pooley Bridge looked very nice. Amazing shop on site. Fabulous location with the lake so close and lots of little shops and cafes. Breakfast looked good. Bet the steamer ride was lovely. You did well with the weather. Ideal place to stop before getting the steamer back. We would love that. Thanks for sharing. You may have had your coats on but it feels like spring 😉👍

[@LeisureBit]

Hi guys Pooley Bridge is beautiful and so much in such a small place! I like the lake, it’s so beautiful, peaceful and calming plus my ginger friend would stay there for hours. The steamer is so scenic and it takes you to some great places! I’m so glad we changed plans! Thanks again Rachel & David 💕

[@Wizardinthewild]

@@LeisureBit hope we get to go there one day 👍❤️

[@JustSteve247]

every site iv been to including scholand you've covered lol.

[@LeisureBit]

lol - thanks for watching us - hopefully we will find some new ones 😀

[@JustSteve247]

Look forward to your next find. Take care

[@StephenOwen-yi5rx]

Hi guys great vlog just wandering how much of a walk is it into pooley bridge

[@LeisureBit]

Morning, if you walk the top lakeside path it’s about half a mile from where we were pitched. The site is large though so if you were pitched at the top near reception that would add time on. Hope this helps Rachel & David 💕💕

[@richiebainbridge2608]

Hi, great video thanks. It’s been years since we went to parkfoot but would love to return. Times have changed and not required a mobility scooter so do you think the top path along the lake side would be passable with the scooter. We are definitely going at some point anyway but the off road capability maybe be our limitation for that venture. Thanks , no pressure 😂😂👍

[@LeisureBit]

Thanks for the comment, I think the top part of the path if it's not too wet you might get along with a mobility scooter, I saw someone on one and they were managing ok (I know they can vary with how rough terrain they can support so may be different for different models) Certainly worth giving it a go. The Lakeside path had lots of roots on and was much more difficult but the higher path was much better. Hope that helps, All the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@richiebainbridge2608]

@@LeisureBit that helps so much thank you and we will return as planned but with more confidence. Ps how life roles on ! It seems like no time at all since we were there playing football in the snow one bonfire night 😂😂 25 years ago 👍👍👍

I've just came back from park foot

[@LeisureBit]

Did you have a good time. I bet it was busy again? It’s such a lovely place & I love Pooley Bridge Rachel & David
