Hi, Welcome to our channel. Novices to campervanning when we retired, we are busy travelling in our VW Transporter campervan, 'Hygge', exploring and sharing with our youtube subscribers some of our experiences as retirees. Six years later and luckily we are still going. It has given us so much freedom, keeps us fit and active and our brains going too. And more importantly we still love it.
So we hope to continue to share some of our travels, hints and tips on campervanning for a while yet and inspire some of you, perhaps of a similar age ;-), to have a go at something new too. Bye for now Garry and Caroline.

Campsite Tour and trips - Devizes Camping & Caravanning Club Site
We are back on the road after an unplanned return home. With the weather this summer being so unpredictable we have moved around the country trying to follow the illusive sun!
In this video we stay at the Camping & Caravanning Club Site just outside Devizes which is right by the Kennet & Avon Canal. We take some trips out to the fascinating Avebury Circle, the largest Megalithic stone circle in the world and Silbury Hill a manmade chalk hill dating from around 2400 BC. We also cycle along the canal to the amazing Caen Hill Lock flight the longest continuous lock flight in the country. It has 29 locks with a rise of 237 feet over 2 miles, it takes 4 hours to navigate the entire flight!

That sounded an expensive clunk. Memories again of when we used to live in Cornwall
Hi and thanks for watching. Luckily it wasn’t as expensive as I expected. Another lovely part of Cornwall to explore. 👍😀

I would seer like to live here😊.,
It is an amazing place! Thank you for watching 👍😊
Thanks for the vlog. Camped around that area several years ago near St Mawes. Top spot in my opinion. It was when they had the tall ships race out of Falmouth. Think it was the 2014 version!
Hi there. Thank you for watching. It is a great area to explore, we found some new spots to check out on this trip. Never seen the tall ships race, think it must have been a marvellous sight. As always thank you for your support. Some more of Cornwall coming up. 👍😀
Brilliant tour. You actually really showed us the pitches.
Hi there. Glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching and your support. 👍😀

Thanks for the vlog. Never got as far as the coverack area but looks great. Kynance cove was as far as we’ve been.
Hi there. We love Kynance Cove the view is amazing. Coverack is well worth a visit but be prepared the steep hill going into the village! Thank you for watching and for your support for our channel 👍😀
Back from our unexpected journey and catching up.

Thank you!!❤
You're welcome 😊Hope it was helpful 👍😀
@@campervanhygge Yes it was!
Glad to see you’ve made it back out for the new season. May is definitely better!
Hi Thank you for watching. It’s great to get out again, there is so much to explore in this wonderful country of ours! Thank you for your support, it is much appreciated .👍😀
Spurn Point was actually much more interesting years ago before it became trendy and a new "centre" was introduced. Back in the day the Point was occupied by a close-knit group of households that sustained the lifeboat and lighthouse and it was a truly wild, isolated and largely unvisited place...However, go back centuries and it was not a point, but an true island that came to be inhabited by a lone hermit called Peter, who later acquired the title `Peter At Sea'.
Thank you for the really fascinating history. There certainly is a unique feel to the area and we really enjoyed our visit Thank you for watching and your support for the channel. All the best 👍😀
Stayed at this site last year, had a great time in the area.
We really enjoyed our visit, it is a lovely area. Thank you for your support 👍😀
I can still remember cycling from Grimsby to Spurn Point via the old Paddle Steamers in 1967 when I was 10 year olds with my older brother and sister an younger brother and sister. Grimsby to New Holland then over on the Paddle Steamer to Hull, then onward to Spurn Point. We camped in a farmers field mid way between Spurn Point and the first village on the way back, then set off for Hull and the return Ferry Ride to New Holland and the final cycle ride back to Grimsby. Happy Memories from SIXTY Years ago.
That sounds amazing.So glad that the video brought back such happy memories. We loved the majestic nature of the area, it was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you so much for your support. 👍😀
No Problem Getting On The Pitch With The Mover..( but some are dodgy!) It's The Approach Road That Caused The Problem!.. never again.!!
Thank you for watching the video. Thank you for the feedback on the roads for those with a caravan. All the best👍😀
Bunree is my favourite. Had some interesting times there. Lovely video.
Unfortunately we did not have the best weather when we visited but it is a lovely location. As always thank you for watching. 👍😀
Another interesting curated list from you travels, thank you.
Glad you like them! We love a waterside park up. Thank you for your support 👍😀
Very good video and set of sites debs xx
Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the video. We have really enjoyed exploring the UK coast and picking some favourite sites was tough, we had so many to choose from! Thank you for watching and thank you for supporting our channel. 👍😀😀
Just stumbled across your video of the site, shame that it has no toilets or showers. Do you happen to know of any other sites in the area with a facility block please?
Hi there. thank you for watching. I think there is a Camping and Caravanning Club site at the other end of the lake - but we have not stayed there. Hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for your support for our channel.👍😀
nice - didnt realise they even had a campsite and have been going for 10+ years
Thank you for watching, glad you liked the video. The site is in a lovely location, the views are great and we had a good bike ride around to the visitor centre. Thank you for your support👍😀
Nice video , what type and make of bike were you on please .
Hi there. Glad you liked the video. The bikes are folding e-bikes. They are made by Battribike and the model is a Dart. I have done a full review video on the channel if you want to see more about them. Thank you for watching hand your support for the channel. 👍😀
@@campervanhygge thanks very much for your reply . 👍
Thanks for the vlog looks a nice part of the island. We tried Tenerife February first time in the canaries and won’t be the last.
Thank you for watching. We do like that area and visiting places on the island. Think once you have experienced the climate in the canaries at this time of year, it is very tempting to keep going back! Especially with all the rain we seem to be having at the moment. Hope you get a return trip to Tenerife soon. Thank you for your support 👍😀
Catching up after our trip. Careful those Marinas are sneaky, next thing you know you will be sailing round the world.
There were some nice looking boats moored up at the harbour, but have to say we still prefer the van! Would like some more of the weather over there, don’t think it has stopped raining since we got back. Thanks for watching 👍😀
Has a trip here in the summer of 2022. It was a real trip down memory lane for me as, when I was young my parents used to take me and my sisters to Southleigh caravan park ( now a chalet park) for many years. Visited all the places we used to go as kids. Done of it hasn’t changed at all from the sixties. Happy memories
Glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane! Thank you for watching and thank you for your support. 👍😀
A very good review - thank you.
Hi there. Glad you found it useful and thank you for your supportive 🙏😀
Interesting set of sites, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the video, we do like a site by the sea! 👍😀
Lovely videography. We are just starting our motorhome adventures and this site is not too far from home and on our list to do this spring. Thankyou. Ian
Hi there. Glad you liked the video. It is a lovely spot, hope you have a good time. Enjoy your travels 😀👍

Thumbs down because of the truly dreadful racket purporting to be music,lousy and so unnecessary. Not to mention the distraction it causes.
Sorry you did not like the backing track - hope you like some of the other tours in the campsite tour series.
Have a good Christmas and looking forward to more adventures next year 👍
Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for your support. 👍👍😀😀

Lovey site we was there when this video was taken . Or caravan in on the corner silver astra in front of the caravan. Owners are lovely people. The free range eggs were lush. Be back in Feb 24.
Hi there.Yes it is a lovely site, great facilities and a nice quiet location. As you say the owners are really welcoming and helpful.We found loads of places to visit in the area as well. Can see why you are planning a return trip. Thank you for watching and commenting. We really appreciate your support 👍😀

We know where to come now for inspiration! thank you 😊
Glad it was useful. Thank you for the comment and the sub! 👍😀
Thanks for the tour, what a beautiful location to stop. Subbed for more! 😊
Hi there. It is a beautiful place to visit- one of our favourites in Scotland. Thank you for the sub 👍😀
The design on what looked like a bent needle is a stylised jet engine. I wonder if the needle part is representing flying through the eye of a needle. No the other straight on. Oh and the other right(left) too. Take care stay safe.
Hi there. You prompted me to do a bit more research and you are right. It is based on a needle with the relief representing a jet engine. The sculpture of Frank Whittle as a visionary is based on a painting by Rod Lovesey. Thank you for watching. Stay safe and enjoy your travels.👍😀
Your videos are getting better and better ,fantastic history ,thank you.😍
Hi there. We really appreciate your support and thank you for your very kind comment. There was so much history and information that we thought a different style of video would be best to do it justice! We hope to continue the trip soon. Many thanks again for your lovely comment. 😀
Catching up been away again LOL. Love this video. We stayed near Naseby when we did our Invasion Tour forgetting about the significance until we got there.
Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the video. with so much history and information we decided to make a slightly different video this time. Was this on your 2019/20 tour and did you get to the battlefield. It is a very atmospheric place to explore. 👍😀
@@campervanhygge We were down to see family and people. We need to do a normal trip to catch the history.
