Good vlog as always and a lovely area. As you say, what 3 words would be great in those situations. That is why I always study the approach and the site entrance on satellite view on the maps the night before, then I have an idea where it is and what’s around
Hi Bob and Jenny a great video as ever and well done for finding the site! Think the signage could be a lot better and we’ve had similar and also issues with the poi files and also local road signs! Sometimes sites are quite well hidden! Looks a lovely place to stay and it’s nice having the site split into different areas probably better in summer and doesn’t seem as busy as it maybe is it looks very clean and lots of facilities on site was it easy to get into the town on foot? Looked a proper Scot’s town reminded me of such as grantown on Spey and Dufftown looks like you all had a great meal restaurant looked fantastic! All the best to you all Daniel
Geat video as always. I wish more sites and CAMC would start using What 3 Words. As an emergency service worker, they are so useful, as you say Postcodes are not always great out in the sticks as they cover larger areas.
Thanks for sharing your video, the sat nag keep getting you lost right at the end, ( site entrance) I’ve never tried the app three little words, have you just wondered if that would be any better ?, 👍👍🐾🐾.
I thing a combination of the Avtex to make sure we avoid low bridges and Google maps, what3words to find the entrance is the answer. We'll be talking about this in a future video.
Thanks for these brilliant vlogs Bob & Jenny, so useful to see what the approach roads are like to these sites, if I go anywhere new I always check to see if you have been and what’s it’s like, always a worry with an 8ft wide caravan
Hi Bob, reference navigation, postcode, & club site positional errors. You can be very precise if you use latitude and longitude references. If you place your curser onto the location of a site entrance on Google maps, then left click the lat and long reference appears. There’s two methods of recording this, you just have to set your satnav to the same method as Google maps and you’ll always precisely find the entrance. Check it with street view. Hope this helps in the future.
Sorry Bob, I didn’t explain myself properly. I meant don’t use point of interest locations, use the lay & long. We use our Avtex satnav with the caravan club location for example. But at the same time run Google maps on our vehicle satnav with the actual lay & long loaded for the entrance. We confirm it’s the entrance by using street view. We then know where the sign is located and what it looks like. You can also use lay and long in the Avtex. I keep my vehicle satnav (car play) on silent.
Sounds like you could be into bikes Bob? Good knowledge of a 1250GS. Love my bikes and our van of course! Enjoyed your visit, good to get ideas of nice places to go! 👍
There lot of nice place to visit there Cullen and crovie and the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre at Spey bay and port Gordon beach if you want to see the seals or duftown Sidings Cafe old train for best food
Looks fantastic site, town and area. We are fancying visiting ourselves. What is the midge situation like though as, for us, that it always a major consideration when visiting some area in Scotland in summer. Hoping you can give good news.
You missed the best bit of Aberdeenshire ... the north east of the north east so to speak ... the Aberdeenshire and Moray costal towns abd villages. My favourite being Fraserburgh where i currently am ... staying on my favourite CL .... Smithy Croft at Tyrie just outside the town.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo we were in the same field as you. One day after very heavy rain the grass was full of large puddles, we spent some time watching an oystercatcher having a bath in them.
I like how they have mowed a path for the dog walk.

It was a probably half a mile into town.
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I love motorbikes as well
Henry cole lives 12 miles from me in clanfield Oxfordshire
I've been watching The Bike Show recently. Great show.
Lovely area, and that restaurant in the previous bank looked great! Wonder if you liked the soup? Nice video, Bob 👏👍
Yes, I enjoyed the Cullen Skink.
Thank you. Love the bike tours.
That first bit was basically my drive to work. A lot easier than it was when I was an apprentice mind.
Nice drive to work. 🙂

Would be very useful on sat nav too!
@BobEarnshawMoHo - What3Words had a recent update, which means you can use both Google maps and Waze now. It's really useful. Hope you're both well.

Lovely video, the campsite looked nice and enjoyed the cycle ride to the town. See you in the next one x Julie and Tony x
You passed by our house, if we'd known you'd have been welcome for a coffee and a wee scone. 😉
Lovely video and the restaurant looked nice. Looks a nice area.

Yes, but just using the POIs for Campsites that the camping and caravan club provided for the sat nav are not very accurate, just within 200 metres.

@gnarlyboot477 thanks for explaining. We should check out Google maps first.

I'd love a bike but I'm not allowed! I watch the Missenden Flyer and The Smoaks.
I watch the Missenden Flyer too! We're similar in way as I'm a biker and a flyer, but also a campervanner which I also love! 👍

Happy to report no midges anywhere. It was either too cold too wet or too windy, or all three. Midge are less of a problem in the east.
Cullen Skink is delicious!!
Watch out for the rabbits!
Yes, there were a lot!
We were there a few weeks ago

As always, never enough time.
Banff has nice site , Banff Links, , right on a large beach with great coastal walks .
We were there a few weeks ago, it was very quiet. Are there still hundreds of rabbits on the site? The castle is very interesting and worth a visit.
Yes Poppy and Tara were very pleased to see so many rabbits to chase. I filmed the castle in the next video.

What happened to your friends MG, Noticed a Kuga beside his van , it's good you're wife can keep you right 🤔🤔
You're confusing Glyn and Sharon @thebeckwiths with our friends Bob and Aileen McKay. 😀
