The Best CL in Norfolk? Winter Caravanning 2022

In this video we continue our 2022 winter caravanning adventures and we find a new site, Barleywood, near Fakenham in Norfolk and what an absolutely brilliant find. Join us on the journey in and a tour of the site. Our follow up video is a day out in nearby Wells Next The Sea. Cheers, Helen & Dave

    Hi Great video with good information. Although we live in Yorkshire we travel to Norfolk and Suffolk most years and love the area. We’ve stayed at Barleywood and Side-a-Wood in the past and they are both excellent sites, with welcoming owners and in a great location for the area. We are in Suffolk in July at a new CL called Barn Owl Meadows to the east of Bury St Edmunds.

    Hi Stephen, many thanks for leaving a comment you’ll know better than most what a little gem this is and although we live on the Norfolk coast we too enjoy our breaks locally. We are hoping to find a nice place to stay soon on the Yorkshire coast Scarborough/Whitby/Bridlington areas. Suggestions very welcome!! Thanks again, cheers, Dave & Helen

    I'm not sure Richard, I believe it was based at Waddington and carried out bombing practice as part of the Black Buck initial 5 Vulcans, just not sure if it went to Ascension Island or not. Wish there was still a flying example, lovely aircraft.

    Sorry to be a pain but probably you have covered this topic, what satnav are you using when towing your caravan and does it cover the larger caravan`s as well?

  • @HelenandDave

    @HelenandDave

    Жыл бұрын

    Hello and thanks for watching the channel. The Sat Nav I use is (Aguri) and is designed specifically for caravans & motorhomes. You input the measurements of your vehicle and caravan, Length, width & height and it avoids any roads/bridges that your vehicle will not get down. Here is a link to it amzn.to/40Cqeeh Thanks again, Helen & Dave
