We stayed at the campsite 2019 and used it as a base... lovely, friendly people running it .... that river walk was amazing , quedos for you getting up that hill and in wellies! TFS.
Great place Ian , just on my doorstep ..spent many summer days down there swimming in the river :) There is a old legend saying there is a tunnel from the Abbey all the way to Durham Cathedral , would love to see it!
Yeah me too Steve. Been going there since I was a kid. My mum had a caravan at cocked lodge farm. It’s a gold driving range these days. Didn’t know about the tunnel but would love to know if it’s true. 👍🏻
Thanks David. Camera has a mind of its own. Was a Christmas pressie. Just getting to grips with it. Love the picture quality but not sure about the active track. It’s a Dji but can’t remember the name of it. It’s a tiny little thing for carrying around. Hopefully will improve the quality of my videos. Unfortunately it won’t help my content or presentation but I do my best. Your new van arrived at the dealers eh. Very exciting. 👍🏻
@@TravellingfromScratch what a lovely Christmas pressie Ian - definitely very snazzy 👍 I wondered if you had a tripod or something which was a bit loose and the camera was creeping back. Sounds very posh. On the van front, things got even more exciting as DVLA registered it yesterday (Friday) so she’s now home at last 🍾
Yeah me too mate. I’m sure you had to pay at the little bit on your way in when I was a kid. They had a big metal turn style in the shop and you had to pay 2p too pee. Happy days. 👍🏻
Lovely scenery,love the blooper at the end very funny.
Thanks Maggie. Just getting to grips with this new camera. 😂

Great video mate. Making the trip up from Liverpool this month with my mother who was very local (Brasside). Looks like a proper nice place.
I’m down there regularly with my dogs. They love it. Great place to relax. 👍🏻
Can’t beat a bit of childish humour, great vid 👍😂
Thanks David. 👍🏻

Ditto. Finchale to Durham Cathedral would be a canny lang tunnnel like
Turning into a right Alan Wicker with these travel vlogs maybe you should grow a moustache? 😂 I’ve always preferred Cockermouth myself 😜
Gonna make the most of the van this year mate. Might end up living in it. 👍🏻
Thanks Ian, never been there but passed a few times. The new camera looks either snazzy or loose couldn’t quite work out which 😂 - David 👍
