Hi both - you have a new LIDL about 10mins away up A149 toward Hunstanton. Lovely coast road along A149 all the way past Wells. Adnams shop at Holkham, Blakeney Quay for a crab sandwich and cuppa. Wells Deli for coffee and cake in Wells. Loads of nice pubs along the A149 favourite of ours is Jolly Sailor Brancaster. Nice row of shops and great petrol station supermarket for fresh produce Burnham Deepdale sell nice real ales including Oyster Catcher which is on draft at jolly sailors. Also look at the hat shop in burnham market. Enjoy! Dog friendly beach at snettisham with good bird watching.

My husband and I used to stay at Sandringham but the last time we were there I broke my foot by falling down a rabbit hole! Sadly That was the end of our caravan days. Due to my husbands illness( he has since passed away) I had to drive and change to an automatic car. The people running the site were so kind they kept our van until I had to sell it. I am now looking at a Motorhome and love your very informative video diaries. I think I could manage a small van for me and my lovely chocolate lab, Figa.

Nice video.. we are thinking of going to Sandringham, so good to see the site.

Really appreciate these approach road videos. Thanks Bob.

You brought back memories of our few days at the campground when we were doing a cycle tour around England 7 years ago. We had a lovely tour of Sandringham and the gardens. Lovrly quiet campsite. But had our first encounter with a tick which was a rather new experience for New Zealanders.

A favourite part of England. I really enjoyed Norfolk lavender farm

Love your videos. We are new to motorhoming and your videos have been invaluable to us. Thank you and stay safe.

Guys, we found if you're leaving the a1 onto the a17, go to the next junction south, sends you thru a village called Coddington. Then you'll rejoin the a17 further along. Another great video tho. 😊🐶

Just 15 minutes away from where I live Bob, get the kettle on 😀 There is a good pub just up the road (5-10min) called The Ffolkes Arms in Hillington. We are busier than normal with the lockdown and staycations. If you journey towards Fakenham on the A148 just after the aforementioned pub, you will see a left turn towards Docking. This is a good alternative road to get you to the coast leaving the queues behind. I hope you enjoy your stay 👍

If they are not going to provide facilities you would think they would reduce their price and as they are the camping and caravan club members that camp that don’t have facilities don’t have access to lots of the club sites. Enjoy and take care

Looks like a nice site, I rarely use C & C sites now because a lot of the pitches are tight and there’s usually a lack of choice but that one seems OK.

We've used both sites, CCC and CM, both are good value but we preferred the CM site because it had safer wheelchair access to Babingly social club which is on the A149 and had a 60mph speed limit, until Prince Phillips famous motor car accident. From the lane leading to the CM site it's just a short road to a pavement for the wife's electric wheelchair. The other lane from the CCC sites further along the fast road and doesn't have a pavement on the club side which necessitated crossing the fast road twice and with her guide dog. Also beware of the dogs in the woods regarding the tics they can pick up, but other than that both Sandringham sites is a lovely. The squirrels will steal your cereals and bread if left out but just consider it a form of payment for Intruding into their habitats.

We have been to Sandringham CAMC site several times, but not been on the CCC site. It looks lovely and peaceful. We were surprised that they did not mention the Seasonal Caninine Illness, neither at here or Clumber park, when you visited. It has been a problem for a few years now, at both of these parks , also at Thetford, Rendlesham, and a couple of others. The Animal Health Trust were doing studies, along with vets to see if they could find a cause. It is a very sudden onset illness, which sees dogs becoming very unwell, very quickly and most sadly, don't make it. 🐾🐾😢 Small dogs are more likely to be affected, too.. so please keep Poppy out of the wooded areas. Several things have been ruled out, during studies, including Alabama rot . There is lots of information about it online. Just google Seasonal Canine Illness. Take care, and enjoy East Anglia. xx

Hi guys. I'm new to the hobby and just researching options for a motorhome. I notice in this video you said you had an aquaroll. Do you mind explaining how that works with a motorhome as my understanding is that caravans use them as they have 12v power on the water inlet socket for the pump but the motorhomes I've looked at don't, so how do you pump the water into the motorhome from the aquaroll. Do you also have one of those portable grey water tanks? I'm asking because if the music festivals ever start up again I'll be off grid in a field for 4-5 days at a time so the aquaroll/grey water solution would be brilliant. Also, I notice you tow a car. Can I ask why, if you're towing a vehicle anyway, you don't just tow a caravan which I've noticed are about half the price of motorhomes and don't need taxing either? Thanks Graham

@BobEarnshawMoHo

3 жыл бұрын

On the Aquaroll, our Swift motorhome has an external 12v socket so I can use a external pump to pump water into the fresh water tank. I also have a Wastemaster for disposing of the waste water. I much prefer the flexibility of a motorhome, you have everything inside with you when you travel. As for towing the car I have a whole playlist about towing the car.
