Good to have a chat with you on 40M this morning, Ian. I've subscribed to your channel and will view your videos when I have a bit more time. All the best, Paul M7OKB.
Great to chat to you Paul. Thanks for the sub :). Ian
Love the new van Ian thanks for taking us along with you nice little site and very peaceful .,a merry Christmas to both of you and a healthy new year here to more travels next year 👍
Thankyou so much Medwyn :). It is a lovely van and there will be a full tour in next weeks video. The site is really nice and so much history around the area. A bonus is that it is only about 6 miles away from home! Merry Christmas to you and yours :). Ian
Looks amazing we looking at staying on way up to do the NC500 from Yorkshire 😊
It's a lovely site. Enjoy the NC500 :)
A great site. Could just do with a proper path to the shower block.
A lovely looking site and stunning area. It will be sad to see Matilda 1 going, but looking forward to your new adventures in Matilda 2
Thanks Shirley :). It is a fabulous site with easy access to some wonderful towns! Ian
@MotoringMatilda I know the area well, I was brought up within the Ribble Valley and still have family living there 👍
Nice !!!
many compliments for the video, happy to have found it!✌🎄
Thank you! 😃
Lovely, what month did you visit
September. Usually a good month for Scotland :)
Thank you
Shame you couldn't see the stuff in the other halls, you can spend a whole day in that place, maybe you will get back there in the summer when it is all open, it is worth going back for.
I would love to go back again. One day :)
We have the 24 model of the 69-4. It really is a fantastic layout for two people.
It certainly is. Huge learning curve for me as the manuals have not caught up fully as yet (thanks Ford), so I am having to work a few things out myself. Ian
There was years ago a big open air swimming baths in the park in the 70s but closed down in the early 80s due to been to expensive to keep open and they also had paddle boats on the pond.
Lived and grew up in that street opposite the Slip in pub Colenso Street, that area has changed so much since the 70s but the caravan site has always been there , that area was my playground.
Massive place. Good to see u guys are still getting about
Loving it Phil :)
Fantastic presentation, Motoring Matilda! Looks and sounds amazing! Excellent sharing. Continued success. God bless.
Many thanks. Take care
Will have Matilda2 in about 2 weeks ❤
8miles walk 😟
What an awesome site, has everything you need, water, waste, and loo, you dont really need a shower block when you have your own do you? My kind of site and loved the walk too.
Thanks Douggie. I really didn't know where the walk was going to take me. The fairy glen was truly magical. The only thing that would have improved it would have been to see a red squirrel but, hopefully, next time :)
Really enjoyed your Scottish trip, Englethwaite Hall looks a lovely site to visit.
Thankyou Shirley :). We enjoyed every moment and the weather was fantastic. We really liked Englethwaite Hall and we are definitely planning to revisit and explore a little further. Ian
yeah both good Ian. Hope Linda is keeping well to. We might revisit it when we’re up there next cos it was a lovely site and we can take our water activity gear
We went there awhile back mind. It was run by two snobby English women who hated our camper. Refused us entry saying it was full when it was clearly empty. Even when we offered to join the caravan camping club there and then, we got a very clear message to leave. Lovely site on the loch. Horrible staff running the entry
@@phildixon5709 It’s a private site now Phil so hopefully things have changed! Sorry you had such a poor experience. I hope you and Sylvie are OK?
lovely site, but that road noise :( it looks very well maintained and the views were great. 73 !
@@mw0lge Thanks Richie. The road noise is unfortunate but the site is lovely!
Ive been wanting to visit this site for ages thanks for showcasing this.
Thankyou :)
Nice video. I like the format. You should have called in to the Coach House Coffee shop in Luss. Awesome soup. We visited by boat whilst anchoring up in the Islands last year.
We were only there for the night Gary. Next time I will explore a bit more.
Hi Ian. Thanks for the excellent site review. I would have to agree about road noise. Its a complete deal breaker for me, and I like how you mentioned it. There's too many channels who only mention the good points so I'm glad you "kept it real"! Many thanks, Tommo
Thanks Tommo. I try not to bash sites but I feel it is important to mention anything that could be a distraction. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
That site is totally different to when I was there in 1998, I was in a spot about where you are stood at 11.42 where the black car was so the road wasn't an issue but it doesn't look like they are plots now.
It is a private site now Douggie. One disappointment was only one chemical waste point. If you are at the far end of the site, it's quite a walk!
Looked a nice day there - bit different right now (Sun 20th) I bet
We were so lucky with the weather. This was mid September and it was truly lovely!
You’ve got the bug big time now 😂
True :)
Nice to see you enjoying my stomping ground 😂
YEs. We will be heading back here without a doubt!
I have had the standard one of these for about 10 years. It gets easier 😂 The best way is to either pull the straps quickly from outside or push quickly from inside.
@@marcandsebe I worked it out quickly ;). It goes up in 3 minutes now :)
Thanks for taking us with you Ian ,another lovely site and a great viideo as always until the next one take care
@@medwynpritchard Thankyou so much. I am so pleased you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for the look around this lovely motorhome, it's something I am particularly looking forward to getting in the future. The 69-4 offers the best layout for me, and also the sleeping arrangements too, as only a shallow step up into the washroom then flat floor in here, ideal, love the garage and extra huge cupboard/wardrobe.
@@neilbland1701 we thought so too! We have ordered ours already :). I will be doing more in depth videos on it once we have it
Hi Ian & Linda...... Glencoe looks great, I am having one of those wish I was there moments........ Ian the Still of the waterfall, where was that taken?...... You know from conversations we have had that I have a love for the "Weeping Falls of Glencoe"....... I have pictures somewhere but did not want to steal your thunder with this excellent video.
@@brianwatson3415 that was on the way down to the Clachaig Inn. It was a lovely cycle ride and close to where Hagrid’s Hut was during Harry Potter filming
Nice and peaceful as always. Very interesting history. Bit crowded in places. Eagerly waiting for next video. Excellent music as well 🙂
I expect it would have been much busier a month previously. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was in the visitor centre. Thanks for the comment Dave :)
We have the Adamo 75.4T. Absolute dream to drive, auto is fab and so much room. Are you thinking of changing?
We have ordered the 2025 model. Hopefully not too long a wait :). 8 speed auto!
Ecoblue engine with cambelt running in oil ...No thanks !😱
Each to their own :)
@motoringmatilda Well said, find me a van manufacturer that doesn’t have issues. Be aware of what can go wrong and get it checked early and regularly. I’d still prefer driving the transit to a fiat any day.
You are welcome
That looks like a lovey site and the scenery helps a lot🤣. Some fantastic filming & photography!
Thanks Brian. A lot of the photography is down to Linda. It helped a lot that the weather was superb!
Looks Great offering more luxury and comfort for your trips.... Ian will have a short learning curve with the extra length, but that will be mastered in no time.
Thanks Brian :)
I love the larger fridge and separate shower 👍
Absolutely. Some great changes to the cab as well!
Where can I buy the duvalay?
www.duvalay.co.uk
Have you had a go at reversing one yet :)
No. What should I know?
@@MotoringMatilda I can't even reverse a motorbike straight - just wondered how its done with a big vehicle like that and no back window - does it have cameras and sensors I wonder?
Hahaha, OK. Door mirrors and a reversing camera. I have driven many different vans over the years and reversing isn't too arcane for me :)
@@davewalker7126it's a lot easier than a caravan! 😉
Lovely place. Peaceful
It certainly is Stuart. Lovely :)
Not wide enough camera
Agreed. I will do better next time ;)
Ian,super video,loved the music so apt for the beautiful scenery. M and M watched it at 3.30 on the 29 Sept .So glad you two are enjoying it. Luv M & M.
Brilliant Max, I am so glad you enjoyed it :). Love to you both. Ian
Great video Ian and what a perfect site. We did a flying trip to the area last weekend but sadly Milarrochy Bay was fully booked on the Sunday night. Found somewhere nearby and on Monday we drove our motorhome through the 7 mile (one way) Three Lochs Forest Drive which is about 10 miles from your site. It was incredible and if you didn’t do it this time you must add it to your itinerary when you return. (Its closed from October to Spring this year though). Cheers.
Thanks Dean! We have already booked for September next year so I will have to check up on this drive. It sounds interesting indeed. Sorry you couldn't get on site this time though :(
Great views. How far into Clitheroe and are there any pubs nearby.
IIRC, it took me about 20 minutes into Clitheroe. Plenty of pubs in the town :)
Look a a lovely quiet site considering the number of pitches. Good intro music as well. Is that you playing the Bodhrán ?
HAHA, I wish! I could never get the hang of bangy things
We stayed there for 3 nights on the way from the Highlands back home in June. Moffat is a lovely town.
@@Ruckus223 Yes, we really enjoyed it!
Greetings from Portugal. 73 de CT1GZB.
Looks a lovely place. Well worth another visit in better weather. I'd guess that the blue egg was a duck egg - very tasty. Two cameras this time - very adventurous. Good choice of music as always.
Hi Dave. The blue egg was a hen egg :). It was extremely tasty! I am having fun working with 2 cameras. It takes a little time to set up but gives plenty of options.
We visited this site early August and are looking forward to going back.
Yes, I would love to go back in better weather. We really did not get much chance to explore. Ian
