Travel Day | Center Parcs Elveden Forest | April 2021
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 тра 2021
- It's our travel day to Elveden Forest Center Parcs for our four day trip as lockdown restrictions are lifted at the end of April 2021. We have a three bedroom new style woodland lodge: Maple 550
The drive there is painful but the greeting we receive from the ducks and squirrels more than made up for it. We settle in for our first BBQ of the trip with the view of the lake.
If you've not watched us before then welcome along. We're two vloggers from London who used to vlog at a Disney park but COVID has put paid to that for now, so we started to do weekly home vlogs. Check out some of our playlists below - and don't forget to subscribe and come back next Saturday for the next episode.

I want more. I will be back. For the gangster geese and other wildlife joys. Oh, and you two as well. Nice woodland lodge.
The geese are soooo bloody aggressive! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your vlogs guys. When you say hello you it really makes me feel like I'm watching a friend. It really has cheered me up when I've had days suffering with anxiety and feeling a bit alone so thank you so much.
Awww, thank you Hannah! That’s lovely to hear and we’re glad that you stop bye to watch. We hope you’re well. Sending hugs xx
Centre Parcs was one of my (L) holidays on it own many years ago, I stayed in the main hotel. I can’t believe you passed the monument. When we used to go away as kids, we used to go camping in Lowestoft and pass that every time, it was always a game to see who saw it first. We love salmon on the BBQ. Fab first day guys 😊
How is the hotel? We’ve seen it on vlogs and it seems a decent size - and if you’re ground floor you still get wildlife! Always a bonus.
That monument is so exposed on that low ground that it must get battered - and still it stands proud.
Hope you’re all well xx
David has the most infectious laugh!
He really does Lizzie!
So much fun after a very slow drive. Looks like a wonderful time was had. Can't wait to see more shenanigans!
Cheers Lee. Hope you’ve had a good week. Well done to all of us for getting to Friday 👍🏻
That drive was soul destroying, but we’ll worth it in the end. It was a lovely place for a getaway.
Yes looking forward to it 👏
Hope you enjoy it Darren!
Great travel day, Centre Parcs looks great. Can’t wait for the rest of the series.
Thank you Ryan!
Hope you’re doing well x
Hey fellas. Great to see you doing a Center Parcs. Especially Elveden as we've been there many times and we love it there. Loved that you were so excited by the wildlife. Look forward to seeing more.
How amazing is it there, Steve? Absolutely loved it. Don’t blame you for going many times.
Thanks for watching
Oooh I love a travel day.
Aww you had an animal greeting party.
Your bbq dessert looked yummy xx
Animal greetings parties are the way forward... it must be how Snow White feels all the time!
Fantastic travel day video, it looks lovely there. And what a brilliant intro! Love it! 💕🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
We love the ducks! They are so bloody cute and loveable !
Thanks for watching!
Saved this for an after dinner treat! Thanks for taking us along!
Hope you had a delicious dinner , Lisa!
Was sorry to have missed the premier, but loved the vlogs. Nice to see real life returning and you out enjoying yourselves. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Claire! Appreciate you watching!
A good Nottinghamshire word 'Bobo, - A great vlog boys, I really enjoyed it.
Thanks m’duck! 😉
Aww what a great first day 🥰 We go to elvedon every Jan to get over the January blues and absolutely love it there. Looking forward to the rest of the series!! X
That’s a great thing to do in January, Sam ! Hanker down with a log on the fire watching the big nature window!
Aww I loved this, I loved the countdown over the bridge 😆 your cabin looked awesome and those little ducks 🦆........so cute 🥰 cant wait to see the rest of this series 👍🏻 I used to love watching Man v Food, but it made me so hungry 🤣🤣 x
Cheers Sam!
We miss those ducks! So friendly and we’re there a couple of times a day!
I hope you have a fab week away ..... your surroundings look gorgeous.
Looking forward to your next vlog xx
Thanks Davina - hope you had a good week. It went slow and was tiring for us, but it’s Friday now!
X
So enjoyed your travel day it was a double whammy for me not living in London saw the sights there as well .. thank you ..
You’re very welcome Dee. Thank you for watching x
I’m rather indoorsy but my partner loves camping. This looks like a fun compromise. Cant wait to see the saga of the geese!
Definitely Team Indoorsy! But CP is a great compromise!
Those geese are so scary. We’re still looking over our shoulder everyday in case it’s followed us!
Been watching for ages but never left a comment before. Just wanted to say, I’m REALLY looking forward to this on Sunday, looks great fun.
Awww thanks Pauline! We’re looking forward to it too! Thank you commenting!
Mighty ducks on tour! Whoop whoop!
Ha! Something like that, Jaye!
Wish I could watch live but it's mother's Day and my kids have different plans. Will watch later. Looks fun!!
Ok so just watched for the second time! Premier was me (Dawn) then once Gary was home we have just watched again together. Looks so nice there and you too looked so happy ☺️ to be honest we have just been checking out availability as we thought we could do a 4 nighter with Pablo and my Dad in tow but sadly there is no availability until September! It reminded us of Davy Crockett’s Ranch in DLP. Never thought of doing that chocolate combo on a BBQ but that is a must next time. Really looking forward to this series, it is lovely to see a travel day of any kind right now. Stay safe x
Hello hello hello!
So behind on replies this week - sorry!
Bless you for giving it a double watch! And we’ve looked at going back and it got booked up really quickly for the summer! Everyone still staycationing!
It felt really safe and there was so much space - we’re really pleased that we’ve done it.
Love and hugs to you both xx
Great vlog, can’t wait for the rest. Looks like you had a great time 🙂
We did have a great time, thank you ! Just the break we needed with so much wild life on tap!
Thanks ever so much for watching!
Brilliant....felt like I was there with you!
You two are the most genuine, funny and bloody gorgeous couple on UA-cam. Can't wait for the next installment 😘😘😘
Aww bless you for those kind words! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for joining us!
Have a lovely week x
So much fun, look forward to episode 2 xx
Thanks G!
Hope you’ve had a good week x
Oh how I love a travel day ❤️ we've never been to Center Parcs but are definitely sold on it now, and Kev's already Googling! Those desserts are a fabulous idea, our Girls will enjoy making them next BBQ. Looking forward to the next installment already xx
Hello lady!
Any success with the Googling? Most CPs are now booked up for months. 🤦🏼♂️
Let us know how the desserts go if you do make them!
@@MrDavidMrIan Not much success, unfortunately it's now out of our price range. Saving all our pennies for Disney 🤞 xx
Been looking forward to this all week and it was so worth the wait! The lodge looked so cozy and the lake was gorgeous! I’ll have to watch again properly. I was so excited to see it I didn’t really take it all in! I bet those ducks absolutely bossed you though 😅😃
Ha! The premiere was all a bit of blur for us too Anne! Thanks for joining us.
The lodge was amazing - very cosy.
Have a smashing week.
Brilliant Vlog , loving the wildlife , we could not bring our dog Daisy she would unfortunately depopulate the area of squirrels and ducks given half the chance , it would drive her mad !! Love the BBQ desert will give this a try x
That melted chocolate mess was Delish Nicola.
Cannot imagine having a dog with the view we had - always at the window - it must drive them crazy when people take theirs! 🐕 🦆 🐿
You guys are awesome! Looking forward to the rest of these :-)
Cheers Dan - thanks for watching!
boys your style and skills with these travel vlogs are getting better and better.

Be careful what you wish for! ☕️
Any we will use any excuse to have melted chocolate!
You would be very welcome 😎
You guys are fab! So glad I found your channel. I have two Center Parcs hols booked this summer so this is helping me get excited x
Two?!!?!!
You lucky thing Ashley!
It’s so booked up now - you were really on it! How wonderful!
We can’t wait to go back at some point.
Thanks for taking a punt on us and watching!
Saucy sauce! Nvr heard of that, don’t think we have Ocado in Scotland either, nvr seen one anyway. Great vlog guys x
A friend only recently told me (I) about Saucy Sauce and I was sceptical- but it’s now my go-to condiment. So good!
I'm just catching up with this one now. It's soo cool you got to stay at 550. That was my grandmoms house # and with you guys dressing up as the Golden Girls later in the series it's sure to make me feel like I'm back in her house having fun! Can't wait to watch the rest!
Oh heck. We really hope your grandmom’s was better than our GGs 🤦🏼♂️
Thank you for watching and we hope that you’re well x
@@MrDavidMrIan oh no it made me smile that you stayed there and will be dressing up as the hottest old bittys on the planet lol
Just grabbing a cuppa and slice of cake xx
Ooh super! What cake was it Kara?
Oh my days... cannot WAIT for this! I can see there’s lots of giggles to be come. Looks like the weather on your side too! See you Sunday 😁😁
We were so lucky with the weather Emma. We had drizzle one morning but we didn’t have any outdoor plans til after it had cleared up.
Love watching you guys. Never fail to entertain and make us laugh. Love saucy sauce 😋😋 lol. Centre Parks looks pretty good. Always thought it was overpriced but you seem to have got a good deal.
Becareful of those bears in the woods 😁😁😁
Definitely Andy! Definitely!
They’re always up to no good!
Love you guys you always make me smile.
Bless you Katharine x
Have a lovely week
Bring it on👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mark!
Loving this - Sunday roast in the oven and a bit of Mr David and Mr Ian on the TV, perfect Sunday afternoon xx
Thanks Mhairi! x
We’re beside ourselves with excitement here! Cannot WAIT!
Ha! See you Sunday Anne!
4.15 Sunday is Gin O Clock then!
🥂
Awesome 1st vlog guy’s 👏👏…really looking forward to this series
Cheers Tommie!
Hope you’re both well and have had a good week!
@@MrDavidMrIan we are both well thank you and also a good week x
OMG this looks flipping amazing 🤩
We had a lot of fun, Sam!
Hope the kitchen has moved on.
@@MrDavidMrIan OMG don’t mention the dreaded ‘K’ word 😫 worktops due to be fitted tomorrow afternoon, so plumbers in Friday to connect everything then hopefully tiling walls next week and floor hopefully in a few weeks! I’ll post a photo when completed. Cant wait to see your vlog to cheer me up 😊😊 x
Hope the plumbing went well x
Loved the ending!
Who doesn’t like a big old bird, Simon?
Looks wonderful, loved the wildlife. Sorry i didn't get to join you live, I got the other half a last min jab appointment and they had a bad reaction so I had to do my nurse Gladys Emmanuel after he started walking about like quasimodo. He was ok by 8 pm as if nothing had happened, wanting beer and nuts! Can't wait for the next bit. X
🤣 N-n-nurse Gggladys Emmanuel! Now there’s a blast from the past.
Glad other half is recovered and back on the beer and nuts! X
What an awesome idea for a dessert BTW - I know what we are having although it will be in the oven rather than on the BBQ
Let us know how it goes with the oven version Mhairi (although if it goes well we might have a problem - don’t want it to be that way to melt more delicious calories!)
Great Live guys, it worked very well xx. It was so great to hear the excitement in your voices and see it in your faces when you arrived xxx
We were greeted by ducks!!
Life doesn’t get much netter than that!
That countdown has not improved, I would say its worse than disney lol still love your humour cheer.
We tried Nigel, we tried! 🤦🏼♂️
Cannot wait, the geese are hilarious roll on the weekend x
Cheers Amanda! Not a fan of geese !
Loved this! Can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures, I can already tell you had a smashing time 🥰
Cheers Emily! We had a most wonderful time!
Already laughing, this is going to be great! 💕
No pressure 🤦🏼♂️
🤣
I’m so jealous! We’re so in need of a real holiday away from this darn house!!! Looking forward to future episodes.
We can definitely sympathise ! The same four walls has been tough. Hope you get to get away.
And thank you so much for watching.
Aww this vlog couldn't be anymore wholesome, we loved it! 🥰
Even by just following over IG, we were both so happy to see you having such a good time! A well deserved change of scenery for you both. We can't wait for the rest of the series 🙌 x
Bless you both 😘
What a lovely, lovely comment.
It was a smashing trip away - except for the geese. One flew over the flat the other day and it honked - we swore blind it was the one from CP stalking us 🤦🏼♂️
Ooh you beauties! That's made my night! :) ( Chase me, chase me.... & they did! ) xxx
Those geese were taking no prisoners, Debbie!
We can't wait for this series! Looks like so much fun!
Thanks chaps. We had a really lovely break. Hope you’re both well
@@MrDavidMrIan glad you enjoyed yourselves, and we're belting, thanks 😁
Oh my gays 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t wait for this. 🥰🥰🥰 This 3 minutes has just made me belly laugh so much. I’m gonna have to double up my Tena lady’s for Sunday! 🤣🤣🤣xx
🤣 This made us laugh out loud Elizabeth!
Just to be safe you might want to sit on a cushion too! 😉
Can’t wait for this! Always look forward to these vlogs on a Saturday. So
Im going to have to set a reminder for Sunday lol
Thanks Katie - will be great to see you there if it can make it!
@@MrDavidMrIan yes my reminder is all set
Ah, round the corner from my house. Hope you enjoyed it 💕😀
Loved it Elle!
It’s a lovely part of the country.
Can’t wait for this 😍
Hope you enjoy it guys - and hope that you’re all well x
@@MrDavidMrIan we are good thank you! Looking forward to getting back out for adventures starting next week and Wearing my new Mickey Mouse hoodie 😉
These promo was everything! 😂
Thanks Nicki!
Just watched, something came up during yesterday’s debut😡! Wasn’t dissatisfied looks like you both had a fabulous time! Have got an orange galaxy to try later! Looking forward to more wild life and frolics 😂(roll on August till my getaway) x
Glad that you’re looking forward to your August getaway, Andy! It’s really not that long now at all!
What did you think about the orange Galaxy? We found that it was very smooth and Galaxy-y! Delish!
@@MrDavidMrIan I’ve not actually got round to trying it yet! 🤷🏻♂️But love galaxy n orange so sure it will be a winner! Yes looking forward to it may try fit in a sneaky visit to visit family in Scotland before if we still can on next time off work!
Oh my god, that was hilarious. Can't wait to watch this, brilliant xx
Glad you enjoyed it Sharon.
Hope you can join us on Sunday!
@@MrDavidMrIan absolutely. The editing on that trailer is perfection
My weekend is already looking much better 🤣 those geese though 🤣
Catherine, we were bullied by geese the whole trip! 🤦🏼♂️
Looks like it’s going to be a laugh a minute premier 🤣🤣
We hope so Darren. 🤞🏻
Looking forward to this boys 👍❤
Thanks Amy!
The geese part was hillarious .. when they started running towards u .. how funny .. and oh my gays . God u two are hillarious . Xxx
Emma those geese were sooooo scary! Genuinely had fear! 🤦🏼♂️
@@MrDavidMrIan I got chased on one of them boats in butlins by Canadian geese when I was 12 . Never got over it .
Geese are well gangster!
Amazing as always, I love Center parcs and you both have made it even better 👍🏻. Also download an app called (Waze) completely free but will give you the best route and will show you speed cameras, police speed traps, pot holes the lot haha. 👍🏻
Thanks for the heads up with the app!
And thank you for watching ! Hope you’re well x
Can’t join you for the premiére as I’ll sadly be at work 😭 but can’t wait to watch when I get in. Looks fab 💖
Oh no! Hope work isn’t too painful for you GC x
Can’t wait xx
Cheers G
This series looks like a lot of fun! For some reason Center Parcs seems like a very English place, which is really fun for us non-English to watch!
PS Love the Golden Girls references already 😄
Ha! Thanks Susan!
CP is a Dutch origination. But seeks to work well here !
@@MrDavidMrIan oh really? My sister in law is Dutch, I'll have to ask her about them!
There’s a channel 5 documentary on My5 that we watched 😉
Cant wait too x
👍🏻 us neither Samantha!
Yay!
👍🏻
Looks fab there. So peaceful as well! Do you know if there are cabins / lodges where you can park closer? So more accessible? Looking forward to the rest of this series! Did you name the ducks?
Ducky and Duck-Duck!
They have accessible lodges with parking outside.
That’s what the folks did in 552 when we were there. And there is a Mobility Vehicle that can be booked at Security to ferry folk around.
Check out the Accessibility section of the CP website.
Guys, wish I could watch this with you, but roast dinner calls. Have a great one!
Oooh nice! What meat did you have Neill? We had a bit of lamb tonight.
@@MrDavidMrIanWhat a day! Met my new great niece; took son to footie; mowed the grass (it doesn't deserve to be called a lawn). Then a nice bit of lamb shank at a local, great minds. Weather nearly spoilt it, but we had a good meal. Caught up with you this evening, so all in all, a great day.
DING DONG
Mwah 💋
Love the look of the chalet/cabin ! I went to Longleat about 10 years ago but haven’t been to this one . The drive north puts me off . I only every drive south (don’t know why 😂)
Now watching yr LA vlogs . Loving it !!!
I want to go to 🇺🇸 so badly ! I might book for December- what do u think ? X
Gotta believe that the US will be accepting visitors in December. And it will be a lovely time to go - no one does deviations quite like the USA!
Hope you manage to overcome your driving phobia at some point Jo 😂
@@MrDavidMrIan driving next weekend for a break away but “down south” - Bournemouth infact . The car more or less goes by autopilot as we do it so often (my parents lived there and my aunts and uncles still do) . Hoping for better weather though . It’s so bloody 🥶 cold !
Oh how lovely. A brisk walk along the pier and through the winter gardens is good for the soil. Have a safe journey x
@@MrDavidMrIan and good for the soul . 😂 I’m sure the gardener will be happy with me x
Can’t wait xx
Thanks Tracy!
