    Another good video well done Bob and Jenny. We were actually at the site when you arrived and you drove past us on your way in. We had five nights and left the day after you arrived for Rookesbury Park where you came from. We agreed with you and some of the other comments that it is a nice site apart from the potholes and fly tipping on the road in. We visited the marina a few times for an evening drink but were asked to leave the outside sitting area of Wetherspoons as they do not allow dogs apparently. We had no problem anywhere else. Lots of nice walks from the site. Keep up the good work,

Have seen council pilote schemes started for motorhomes and then stopped after a short time because of prolonged free camping. Dawlish Warren was one, lovely spot for a day or two, and shut down because of free loaders.

    Hi Bob, didn’t get a chance to find out which site you’re on, but it was lovely to meet you today at Bodiam Castle, but sorry not to have seen Jenny and the girls too. I’m a volunteer there and was in my medieval costume doing castle tours today. I recall hearing you say at the start of this tour that you planned on going to Battle Abbey so wondered if you’re at Normanhurst Court. Even though it’s only 20 minutes from home we stayed there for a weekend last year. The Kent & East Sussex Railway is also a good day out, running between Bodiam and Tenterden. I saw the trains were running today, so maybe you did a trip. Enjoy the rest of your time in our beautiful part of East Sussex.

    Hi Bob and Jenny, we’ve been going this site for the last 10 years as my son lives just down the road, and I’ve complained every time we come about the potholes and still nothing has been done, worse than that is where you said they don’t need speed ramps is the council office on the corner so you would think they could get the potholes sorted out. But on the other hand it’s a really nice site. Hope you have a nice stay and it was nice to meet you both at the Herman fest. Safe travels Paul and Heike

On the motorway, there have been a couple of occasions where impatient trucks started pulling out immediately after I overtook them, then noticed the car behind.

    Hello 🙋‍♂️ The size of the site - and the MH tour was bigger than Brighton itself !! At least it was free from street graffiti (oops’ modern street art) I mean !! Mind yourself’s in Brighton City Centre and keep your wits and 👀 eyes on your personal belongings. Was there a couple of weeks ago and the place seems to have taken a step backwards. Sad, as I used to like spending a few days there enjoying all the different aspects of Brighton !! Unfortunately I witnessed a lot of people with various challenging addictions just sitting on the steps of the shops with a hopeless look on their sad faces !! Every two minutes police cars were screaming by with sirens blasting out heading to another location !! My friend actually witnessed a young lad with a GRINDER in broad daylight trying to grind the security chain off a bike - and was being held back by the public - and, the police were called !! Unfortunately - the police never came for about fifty minutes - by this time the public who were holding this guy started to argue with each other to let the lad him go free !! Apparently the lad asked for his grinder back from a member of the public who had it, and was waiting to hand it to the police 👮‍♂️!! Disappointing state of affairs as Brighton needs tourists money 💰 to keep their economy going like the rest of the UK 🇬🇧!! It’s just as bad in Manchester and Birmingham. I have stopped visiting the City Centres when I am touring now !! Just try and stay on the outskirts - as it’s less stressful !! Thanks 🙏 Take care and stay safe 😷 James ✌🏾
