I was expecting the caravan addys to pop there head up over the hedge LOL. The site looks nice, I do like your pitch, will look into this site, thanks for sharing
All the Holgates parks are brilliant! My favourite one of theirs is Silverdale. But as you say the Toilet and shower blocks are unbelievably clean always!
Hi Martin.looks a very well kept site impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities. To many sites are not up to this high standard. Thanks for sharing 👍
We were there 4th -16th July three pitches further down. Sorry the weather wasn’t so good. Pity you didn’t show the salt marshes. Access by a gate just past the on site pub. Also if you cross the main road about 200 yards towards Carnforth, in the lay bye there are steps leading to the canal and you can walk/cycle to the Canal Turn pub. May see you out and about. We can be identified by our dog. A large white poodle. Bill & Jeannie
Hope you had a good break there, we do like Holgates sites. We used to go to Silverdale but they don't allocate pitches there and people put cars on pitches to reserve them so it put us off. We had a walk down to the garden centre which has a good cafe, will check the canal route out next time. Thanks for comments and watching, Martin
Hi Martin - I would never carry bikes on the roof for any distance and noise - I carry my two electric bikes on the rear of the caravan and have done so every trip to the South of France and never had a twitch of a snake, however, I would not recommend doing so without a proactive anti sway device. The notion that loading all the heavy stuff over the axle is complete nonsense since loads should be spread over the full chassis of the van with just the correct positive weight on the ball. If you want a full explanation just return the comment.
Good question, yes we do but due to the pandemic we haven’t ventured far since 2019. If you look at our vlogs before then you will see, Edinburgh, Paignton and cheddar to name a few. We don’t vlog every trip. We have been to Freance twice before I started the RUclips. We also have a trip planned soon which is 211 miles away! Hope that answers your question. Cheers
Hi Martin Enjoyed the video - remember you going last year and we tried to book for few days in July on our way back from Scotland but it was fully booked. Talking about Lancaster services ( Forton), we stopped there on the way up and followed the signs for caravans and it must be the worst services I’ve ever been in. We make notes and just looked back at them to remind me. The sign for caravans takes you into a small car park with only one entry exit and it’s confusing because you have to drive through a give way and it’s very narrow and tight bend . Don’t think you’d get an 8 footer through it. Avoid at all costs! It’s time service areas made better provision for caravans or at least stop lazy car and van drivers taking up what few spaces there are Thanks again Take care Howard
Hi Howard, Lancaster services - When we pulled in I remembered we had been there before and said I wouldn't go back. The narrow single entry is a pain, there is no clear parking areas marked out which makes it difficult. We parked in the middle and a motorhome pulled up in the bau opposite, there was no way I was getting out. think he realised and moved. One we will definitely avoid in the future. Thanks for the support and watching Martin

We told the site not to let them in! 🤣
They are all big pitches on the site, worth a visit.
Thanks for watching 😊

They are great, not been for a while but would love to go back to Silverdale 😊
Your impression of Tony was spot on 😂 looks a good site,one we will definitely be trying 👍
I’ve been practicing it all week, I’ll be able to cook breakfast as good as Tony soon.

Good sized pitch Martin and private. Even though the weather wasn't great it's still good to get away. Thanks for the tour. Cheers. Rob
Hi Rob, like you said it’s just great to be in the van. Can’t beat listening to rain on the roof!
Thanks for watching
We watched this just before we went to bay view at the weekend 🙂 we were only a few pitches up from you
Hope you enjoyed Bay View, it’s a cracking site and the food in the bar was spot on. Cheers
@@TheCaravanNut yeah it was great. Had a couple of meals in there 😃
We love this site
We go with my in-laws they take their van as well
But we stay on silverdale site over winter
The Holgates sites are always clean and well kept. We’ve not been to Silverdale for a few years, must return there. Cheers
@@TheCaravanNut love your channel mate learnt lot from you keep up the good work
Looks a fantastic site Martin. 👌 We travel down to Lancaster quite often. Would be ideal site for us. Thanks for sharing 👍 😍😍
It’s a very well looked after site. There are a few sites in the Holgates group worth checking out.
Thanks for watching
I have a seasonal on here its excellent and agree with all your comments
Yes great site and can imagine being on a seasonal there is great. Maybe one day! 🤔
Cheers

Hi Paul, it’s very clean and the grounds are spotless. Makes you want to go back!
Thanks for watching
🤞 for Eden project north, that’ll be a great boost for Morecambe & the businesses in the area

Hi Martin, can I ask what pitch number you were in looked fantastic as after seeing your video me and my daughter are going to book up
Many thanks
Hi, we were on pitch B55. All the pitches are a decent size. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers

Martin, please don't take this the wrong way but do you ever actually go anywhere in your caravan? I mean more than 50 miles
