Why you should take your caravan to the Isle of Wight 😊

Absolutely no regrets! We took the caravan on the ferry to the Isle of Wight and stayed at Whitefield Forest Caravan Park. www.whitefieldforest.co.uk The Island has so many varied and very interesting landscapes, attractions, beaches, restaurants & pubs and in our opinion is really worth a visit. The ferry trip and journey into Portsmouth is very easy. We recommend booking your ferry direct wit...

I lived in Maine for a year we used to go down to the dock and buy fresh lobster from the lobstermen nothing like it! That is a lovely place to go thanks for the tag along.❤

    Hi Helen and Dave, That was a fantastic look at what the Isle can offer, certainly worth a visit 😊. Sorry about your lobster got a funny feeling Cromer crab would be nicer and cheaper 😋. We guess that regatta week would be absolutely chaotic 🙃 We visited South Lychett Manor about 5 years ago and really enjoyed it, lovely friendly staff and site. Hope the pop up bar from badger brewery still comes to site really nice beers 🍻. Bus stop outside of site if it still runs. Looking forward to the vlog. Take care and stay safe as always. Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️

      Hi Paul & Joanne, that lobster was tasty but the Cromer crab might have been more palatable as they cost around £10-£15, quite a significant saving. South Lytchett was great! Didn’t see the brewery on site though. Check in next week and stay safe. Helen & Dave 👍

    If you want to wind up the posh, nautical types, go to the regatta at Cowes . Then suggest to them that a bridge across the Solent would be a marvelous investment. Then stand back and be lectured lol. I went to the I.o.w when I was about 10, more than 55 years ago, i came back with wonderful memories. Unfortunately I spoilt it all by going back 2 years ago, extremely over commercialised, especially the Needles and a slow rolling traffic jam of vehicles from one end of the island to the other.

      Barbs, it's lovely at Puddleduck, we love it there. If you're worried about buying, see if you can get an independent surveyor to have a look once you have found one you like. You need to make sure you have a full service history and also damp survey too. A mobile service engineer mat be worth asking to look for you for a small fee.

    Walking across our pitch only ever happened at Pinewoods at Wells Next the Sea! This one bloke cut right in front of our caravan every morning, he was so close I could have touched him had I put my hand out of the window! After the third time I stood right in front of our window with my hands on my hips and watched him come out of the toilet block and head towards us. He suddenly spotted me as he walked in front and swerved off, he didn’t do it again 😂

    I found this site very clicky & snooty!. I tried this site becouse of this review. The people on the site hardly spoke except for a nice Dutch couple who had the same make of caravan as me. The owner looked down his nose at me & made a personal comment about a badge I was wearing on my PERSONAL clothing which was bang out of order!. I think he even told me to take it off. In the afternoon I was playing my wooden Ukulele softly (not a Banjo Uke) he came over & told me that he wanted less of that as he prided his sight on being quite. Quite rude & obnoxious man. I have to point out that the site is very cut off & miles from anywhere anyway. I would not recommend this site myself if you are a friendly camper!

    Hi Dave I hope that you and Helen are ok. I was on holiday last week in wells next the sea and I had a problem with my caravan and needed some advice about how to go about sorting it out So I called Green Trees caravan store and asked if they could help me and the guy i spoke to said that I could go to green trees and they could help me. So we want to green trees which was a hour away from our location. So we arrived at Green Trees and went in to the store and went to the Receptionists and we asked if we could speak to someone about the issue with our caravan but almost immediately she said that there was no one available to talk to us at all. So I was so annoyed that after a long car journey just to be told no we can’t help you. The customer service was really very rude and bad. I would definitely NOT advise anyone to go to Green Trees Caravan Store in Dereham in Norfolk. Very BAD service.

      Well I then drove back to wells and had another go at putting it back in and after about an hour I eventually got it back in. Sorry what had happened was that I had pushed a bit too hard when opening one of the small windows in the front of my Swift and when I pushed the window open to far it came out of the small hinge channel that the window locates in. So be careful not to push too much on the window because it will come out. Lesson learned. All Good Now. We have decided that Wells is a wonderful place. Thanks Dave

    will it work a 700 w microwave ? thanks

    • @HelenandDave
      @HelenandDave 3 дня назад

      I’m no expert but I’ve read this online which should give you an idea. ‘To calculate the wattage required, you can multiply the wattage rating of your microwave oven by 1.5. So, for example, if your microwave oven has a wattage rating of 1000 watts, you'll need a generator that can produce at least 1500 watts’

    I used to live in Bircham Tofts, down Greenhill lane🎉 Wish I still did ❤ I’m with you Dave, you wouldn’t get me on that balcony 😱😂 We were members of both clubs and I think you’re right the wardens attitude can make or break your enjoyment. We did find the CAMC sites were more strict than they needed to be and sometimes wondered if they carried a yard stick round in the dark of night checking you’d set up correctly 🤣🤣

    We stayed a few times at Pinewoods. Years ago when the tourers used to be in with the statics. Then a few times when the new touring site was constructed. Do you think the site fees are a tad expensive?

    • @HelenandDave
      @HelenandDave 4 дня назад

      Hi Barbs, lovely site and of course we love Wells but would tend to agree it is a tad expensive but there isn't a lot of choice if you want to be close to Wells. We remember the tourers being in the main part of the park but we were not caravanning then. Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Helen & Dave

    Our two dogs are really frightened of the smoke detector 😢 They’re not frightened of thunder and lightning, gunfire (we live near RAF Cranwell and sometimes walk in the woods nearby when they have target practice), or load thundering lorries going by, but so scared of the smoke detector noise.
