Thank you to all our lovely subscribers and your comments that are helping loads ❤❤❤ We haven’t had betty fixed yet as been told it could run in to thousands money we can’t afford at the minute but will keep you all up to date ❤❤ lisa mark and woody xx
So sorry to see this , hoping it’s not too bad ! Fingers crossed for you both , Mike and Lindsay.
thank you linda and Mike xxxx🥰
Great video guys, I have been watching your channel on and off for a good while now and didn't realise you did one in Congleton! I live on the estate opposite Heath Farm! (saw my house from your drone footage, never thought that would happen watching your videos haha) Plenty of Chinese takeaways here for sure. You went past one of the best around Cheshire at minute 5:38 ! The forum with the big car park is also a great one! I think there is 9 from what I can count in my head. Shame you came on a day where places were closed. Saturdays can be a buzzing little town with great nightlife. The Lion and Swan just up from DV8 allows dogs and is really nice! The Olde kings arms is about to re-open under new owners, That would of been perfect for food and the dog! Come back next year and it'll be a different place, the market area is being rebuilt with bars and plenty of food options!
Nice to see you here in Congleton, and yes we do have our fair share of Chinese restaurants and takeaways! Looking forward to your next episode. X
Thank you!
Sorry to see your disaster with the gate. One quick thing to try would be to put the steering to full left lock then move slowly forward, this would swing the tail end of the camper away from the gate.
maybe i should drive next time val what do you say 😰
Oh crikey, sorry to see that, gutting isn't it but easily done and hope you managed to get out without doing too much more damage and manage to get it sorted out without too much damage on the wallet.
Looked a nice pub where you stopped over - the carvery looked delicious.
All the best, David & Rachel 👍
thanks both it’s not going to be cheap 😢

Great vlog as always, Gutted for you but hopefully not too much damage done.
it’s not good sarah looking at thousands to fix money we have t got at the min 😓😓
@@NorthernersonTour still useable I hope! 🤦🏻♀️ If it’s cosmetic it can wait 😘
So sick for you guy's! Caught our 1st day brand new caravan reversing into a tight spot know how you must feel! Can I say it was great vid as always!😏
Hi Paul, it was an horrific feeling at the van just stopped and wouldn’t move ! Could have been worse though if it caught the back corner fibreglass panel. Thanks for you comment
OMG 😲 hope there's not too much damage. Great vlog sad ending.
she has been better guys xx
sorry to see betty damaged but at least your both ok hope the bills kinder than you think and it doesnt spoil it for you on the road again im in australia and wouldnt miss them theyre never dull and finish way too quick but i have to have my fix now lol lots of love 😘👍
hi anne
thank you so much for watching our vlogs and supporting our channel please let your friend’s and family know about us as we would love a bigger following in australia and even more would love to get over there for a holibobs some time as it’s a bucket list destination xxps we will try and make them longer for you xx
That looks bad, sorry this has happened to you - fingers crossed you get it resolved quickly 😊 Will be interested in what the solution is to fix that.
thanks david 😓
Was a great vlog until that happened! Felt sick for you both!! Hope you get out without doing much more damage guys xx
thanks tilly 😓
Hi Lisa and Mark , that was painful watching that gate dig deeper with every movement ‘ 😮 on the Chinese of things we did a couple of nights at Bolton Le Sands and we used the Sea View Chinese smashing meal well worth a visit and we are quite fussy about our Chinese meals . We have tried a few between the Isle Of Wight to Thurso on our travels … ATB
didn’t want to over load you with u
the upset 😰😰i have. nearly broken down when i have seen the cost of the repair 😱
great vid as always felt so sorry for you damaging betty we got home from Harrogate show yesterday and i caught my own refuse bins and put a hole in the side of the motorhome so know how gutted you are it will all come out in the wash
oh no that sounds awful 😓😓
Such a shame about the gate accident. Our MH developed stress cracks and they were repaired under warranty. Only the area where the cracks were was painted and I can’t tell where it was done and I’m very picky about stuff like that so you might be able to get a localised repair done and hopefully not have to have the whole side painted🤞🤞
Hi Dave, it would be difficult to get it to match properly. We are thinking of installing another locker door or exterior shower
Love the music !! Big sound!!
thank you stuart xx
Hi Mark and Lisa,
Looks like Mark found Chinese heaven, hopefully you get to choose sometimes 😉.
The carvery looked wonderful hope you enjoyed.
We can't believe the ending you both looked like you cty😥.
I bumped our van and was gutted, hope there isn't too much damage and all is OK,
PS please keep us updated.
We feel your pain.
Paul and Joanne
PS meant looked like you could cry 😢
it’s bad enought to cost thousands to fix , just have t got that money to have we are gutted
We are gutted for you, wish we could turn the clock back for you.
Please keep your chin up and giving us great vlogs.
P and J
Awww the poor van, glad it wasn’t you guys in an accident. Cannot believe woody is named after Toy Story lol my dog Jessie is as well and her brother buzz and belle. Also if you do come to Tewkesbury we have a few Chinese’s too and if you want the best custard slice parsons a bakery chain down my way do amazing ones with jam in and they are the absolute best xxx
omg no way nikki 😮😮😅😅and we are defiantly going to be coming to see you ❤❤❤
Know that it's going to cost you a very lot of money to get your van repaired but thank goodness that none of you were hurt ❤️❤️❤️
thanks sandra yes it’s money we don’t have at the min so not sure what’s going to happen xx
@@NorthernersonTour woodys looking great for his age he's so spoilt and glad your all OK
Oh no!! It’s the worst nightmare when you damage your van, but at least you are both safe and whilst it’s no consolation I’m sure you will be able to get it fixed and like new again. Hope you find someone who can help at a reasonable price. 😢
thank you and fingers crossed xxxx
So sorry to hear van got damaged, it is so annoying and costly. Not what you need hope you manage to get it fixed without it being over priced 🙏🏾
thank you ❤❤
Sounds good That one Mark
OMG as if thy have a cafe in honour of Woody and he certainly enjoyed his dinner bless him I had a little king Charles and like Woody he would eat anything and enjoy it ❤Aww no my heart goes out to you both as we all know its not cheap getting repairs done on our vans 😢hope you get Betty fixed soon ......Take care guys 😊😊
Aww Guys sorry to see that happen to your van 🚐, seen that happen before, and trying to get out of it makes it worse, hope you get it sorted,
Best wishes, Bruce and Linda.
thanks bruce and linda 😢
Mark really needs to try the THE GOLDEN WOK Chinese in Hornsea over on the east coast just south of Bridlington it’s the best one we have ever found
on the list thank you ❤️❤️🫶
What a flippin shame. Really enjoyed your video up to this point . Feel so sad for you . Annoying but reparable , at least you are all ok x
hiya vic very sad with a high price repair one that might have to wait 😢
Oh I am sorry I had no idea it could be so much xx
Glad to see you got Betty fixed. So many Chinese restaurants it should be Hong Kong-leton?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only live 10 miles away and never knew some of the places you have reviewed
So sorry XX ❤️
thank you xx😢
That music sounds good, loveeeee the way this lady talks.
Typical of buses in this area, …..late or they don’t show up at all 🤣
Your hubby likes his Chinese …..lol
I wonder if he’s ever heard of or been to Yang Sing in Manchester, I tell ya they are Fantastic!
They are have some Chinese Buffet All you can eat Chinese buffet in Manchester, it’s the biggest in Europe, not sure what they are called but their is videos on RUclips about it.
I’ve never been to it just seen videos of it on RUclips.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good luck 🏴🏴
thank you Margaret hopefully will get back to Scotland soon
Hi Mark and Lisa,
Just thinking about you guys and hope your keeping your chins up after the incident,
We were wondering how things were going and hoping your back out vlog ing soon,
Take care P and J
hi there thank you for your lovely message and for thinking about us betty is booked in to have her back end looked at 🥰🤣🤣 nothing keeps us keeps us off the road 🥰🥰
If you are struggling calder valley motorhomes ravensthorpe are amazing
Nice to see you in Congleton. We live just down the road from Heath Farm. Would have been lovely to meet you both. Are you going Van life festival?
Gutted about the damage to your van but nothing that can't be fixed.
we always find out that people live near to where we where when we have left lol the damage is very costly indeed
Great vlog 👍. Sorry about the accident 😭. If the damage is going to cost a lot to repair, is there any way that you can claim on your MH insurance?
annie.a fix may be on the card up dates to follow xx
Oh no that's a shame...I was that enjoying your vlog I forgot you'd said you'd had a disaster. I hope it wasn't too much to fix 🤞🙈❤️
cost is looking at thousands sandra so hasn’t been fixed yet 😓
@@NorthernersonTour omg thats awful 😪
Mark goes to Bakewell for a Tart, leaves with Nightmares from a Gate …..lmao!
🤣🤣🤣🤣couldn’t write it
Ah guys am sure its repairable adventure marks ,the rear of your van will kick out about 2 ft on full lock ,it can also happen when cars try to sneak past when your turning right they don't always allow enough room for the rear swing out as many are not aware so watch the right turns with traffic sneaking past on nearside left ..
Hi can u tell me what sat nav u use by the way me and the wife love your videos can't wait until the next one
hi paul we use a mix of google maps and Co Pilot on the i pad as you can put the size and make of your vehicle in to that xx
Ouch. That's so sad. I did the same scrapping a metal wheelie bin but yours is more damage. I feel for you 😪
we are so gutted trying to work out what to do with it as it’s looking at a few thousand to have fixed 😢
@@NorthernersonTour not sure how bad it is until the next video. Someone suggested to us to put big decal stickers over it to cover it up. Might be a cheaper option but don't know if it will work.
it’s gonna need fixing dan and looking at thousands and it’s money we haven’t got at the min so so gutted
Mark & lisa I’d love you to visit Worcester there are 2 nice Chinese places
we are slowly heading south so ya never know
What’s behind the scrape/hole?
You could put a gas bbq hook up there or any outlet or locker box.
I did it in a caravan and cut the hole out for bbq outlet and no one knew. Saved loads.
we where going to do this but can’t because of the size of locker that would be needed to cover the damage and the curve of the edging is also in the way 🥲
@@NorthernersonTour oh bugger.
If it’s a full panel replacement it’s not gonna be cheap. Ask body shop if they can fill it, paint it and sticker over it?
@@TheTravellingTuffins i know it’s coming in at a few thousand 😰
@@NorthernersonTour not good.
all good up until the gate incident, hope you got off it without more damage xx
thanks suzie 😢
youtube works in funny ways never seen your channel befor but was interesting i live in the next town too Congleton Biddulph staffordshire just up the road congleton never seems that nice when i go down so is funny seening through someone else's eye's 😀
loads of hairdressers and chineses but mark would not complain about that he loves them and welcome to our channel 🥰
Oh sorry to hear it could run in thousands gutted for you x
🥰🥰🥰
How do Lisa and Mark I've yet to try a pub stop but deffo going to do one. That one you did was a bargain. Like you said, most sites now are charging 30 quid a night so a stop and a meal for 20 quid is an absolute bargain. With all the chinese chippies it was obviously gonna be Mark's idea of heaven. OMG..... gutted at the damage on the van. I'm so sorry for you guys and a horrible cliff hanger ending. I do hope it didn t get any worse 😥 wishing you all the best-Kenny
thanks kenny 😓it’s looking like a very expensive mistake
@@NorthernersonTour I now feel very down for you both. I know what it feels like to damage a motorhome and its a horrible feeling I wish you both didnt have to experience. sending big hugs
@@viv-i-vangoesforth please don’t feel down we are all ok and something will get sorted i’m sure 🥰🥰
Mark fancies a tart!! Lol 😂 Lisa. I really hope you get your van out of there! 😢
hiya jayney hope your well and yes fingers crossed it’s a very expensive mistake 😓
@@NorthernersonTour ♥️ love you guys xx

never
Oh shit! nightmare 😖 great vlog though.... hope all turns out ok! Trials and Tribulations of vanning eh 🤦♂ ..... JP
isn’t it just a bloody expensive trial lol
@@NorthernersonTour lol 😂 yeah! Having a rear bumper fixed at the mo! 🤦🏼♂️ 😂
@@JPLamoureuxsTravels oh no😳
@@NorthernersonTour Not me this one, some dunky hit and run in a carpark on Orkney 🤦♂ ....
Hiya do you have a night diesel heater and if so who fit it please
we have a diesel heater and mark fit mmmm installed it check out our vlog called chinese diesal heater
Ouch!!!! That's sickening.
🥲🥲
There is sum nice food shops there
No need for any music clips ...u folks are entertaining enuf❤
thank you xxxp
I’d put a fake locker door where that dent is, no one will ever know 😉
🤔🤔🤔🥰
OMG what a shame 😳 that’s the thing with motorhomes today…..the whole side is one panel
yea it is and that’s why is gonna cost thousands to repair 😓😓
Too late I know - jacking the van up to move it away from the gate would probably work.
Forum Restaurant is the best Chinese in Congelton. You missed a treat.
that’s made him feel even worse 😓😓
That’s a shame what happened…was he reversing ?
I always drilled it into my guys to get someone to help at rear…
Hi Bob, not sure how it managed to catch the panel and not the corner fibreglass panel ! It’s the worst thing about motorhome hang over it the tail swing. Hope your all well. Regards mark
@@NorthernersonTour you didn’t want to damage rear corner panel
Mind you I’ll see that on next video
@@NorthernersonTour you’ll be up and running soon
1:00 nice 80s generic rock intro music 😜.
🤘
🤙🏻🐾🤙🏻
Did the gate swing closed on you? It looks awful. So sorry this has happened to you xx
no the gate was bolted to the ground karen mark thought the over hang was clear 😢😢😢
@@NorthernersonTour awww no. I take it that you can claim on your insurance though? (Obviously minus excess - robbing gits)! Xx
Best of luck guys x
Watch out mate ...you eat too much dude .
