A note about the WIFI at Clumber Park. Some people are saying I got it wrong and there was WiFi on site. When we arrived (10/4/23) we were told BT are supposed to be putting in this new Free and Premium WiFi, but they've cancelled the install dates twice. I assume because they've disconnected the original WiFi on the site and we were left with just the 'office' WiFi - a little area around reception. We couldn't keep going down there, I suppose I could take a chair and do my video editing there! Hopefully BT will put in the new Internet and WiFi, maybe by the time you read this!! 😊

Thank you for the review of Clumber Park. We have considered visiting as we have used Sherwood Pines a couple of times just up the road and passed Clumber on the way home. Lovely for you to meet up with Julie and Tony for the day, their review of Clumber Park is also helpful over on their channel. Enjoy the rest of your trip, safe travels Bob, Jenny and Poppy

No one on our favourite pitch. Lol. Love our trips to Clumber.

Sure looks like a very nice relaxing place for a park up. The drive to there also looked very interesting. Wishing you both and Poppy enjoy/enjoyed the stay. Stay safe and enjoy.

Hi Bob, Jenny and Poppy, loved the drive to Clumber Park, a nice walk around the site and weren't the loos posh. Yes there are some really nice long walks from the site. It is very peaceful there, Just a shame about the signal. It was lovely coming over to the site to meet you both and Poppy of course, who is a cuddle bum. The day just wizzed by, we had a lovely time with you all and really enjoyed your company. Thank you for mentioning us in your video, we really appreciate it. It would be lovely to meet up again xx Julie and Tony, x

Hiya, hopefully I'm accurate with my opinion on your references to the facility blocks being called "bath" rooms without there being a physical bath in there, but I understand that their terminology is accurate as I understand a facility room that can be used for "bath"ing is called a bath room. Great and very informative video BTW.

We've just returned from a week in Hurn Lane, Somerset. Just prior to that trip, our airbag warning light came on, and occasionally the seat belt light (??). Researching the issue, it could have been a few things causing this, like the connection under the passenger seat, ecu faulty etc. Our dealership did a diagnostic, and it was the ecu that was faulty, so it was replaced, after one was sourced by Guest Motors pretty quickly. One of the main causes of this fault, allegedly, is when the vehicle has been standing (winter storage etc), and the voltage is allowed to get too low - not in our case, but that seems the common denominator. Anyhow, all been OK since replaced.

Good to hear. I have checked the under seat connections. We always have the EHU plugged in at home, so can't see it being a low battery, but we're getting it checked when we get back.

Looks a lovely site, but not sure I could cope with no signal! The networks really need to sort themselves out. It’s ridiculous in this day and age when they’re all rolling out 5G that there are some places you can’t even get 3G to make a phone call!

Nice to see Clumber Park again, lovely site - stayed there last year … wifi is definitely iffy though. The bike storage room is worth a look, high security .. sign of the times I guess. (Can’t blame Robin Hood!! 😄 🏹 🌳)

Those new bathrooms are great, the reason that it looks like there are 4 on each block, is because there’s a sliding door mid way through so that they can close 50% for cleaning and you still have access without the trotting round site. Also some good lay-by parking on A57 if you can’t get a space at ce real part of park. Great vlog again 👍

We like Sherwood Forrest site or I think that’s what it’s called, it’s a camping in the forrest site and we love it. When we drive there from the motorway we pass Clumber Park and I wonder if we should stay there because it’s nearer to the motorway but I think I prefer the Sherwood Forrest site. I can’t recall what the signal is like but the dog walking is great. Lovely to see the Gallivanting Gilanties. 😊 Thanks as always for sharing a great video.

Hi Bob. There are quite a few places you can still Park. You perhaps didn't notice. But just before you turned right towards cmc site. There was quite a few vehicles parked on left. That Rd with all the new stumps in. Lime tree Ave. Isn't owned by national trust Owned by Natural England Inc grass verges. You can park there free of charge if not in Nat trust. That stone pillared bridge that was on one of pictures in toilet block I think Was deliberately knock down y some youths few yrs ago in stolen car. They did catch them. But most of it is now new stone pillars. I live close by & go cycling many times. Yesterday in fact

Hi Bob/Jenny, the one I've been waiting for a probably my first site that I will visit, (it's 30 minutes away)no wi-fi for me at the moment would be a bonus, your video has however shown me that I need a purchase I had been thinking of ie a folding e-bike which I am currently researching. Alas the person I had bought the m/h to share with aka my wife of 38 years has now been diagnosed with bowel cancer and since been told that it is inoperable so rough seas ahead and maybe plans will be delayed, life is a bit like that, but thanks for the review
