Thanks for watching!
Looks alovely site, lake is nice ,Poppy likes her walk,
Great video again Bob. Nice to see you all out together again. Enjoy your time ;))
The camping areas always look a bit sad when they are so empty during mid week in winter. This campsite is a great, well presented site with excellent facilities in the centre of the country park. We had the pleasure of your company too, which we really enjoyed. Thank you for your generosity when answering all our technical questions about vlogging and to Jenny for researching and preparing all the itinerary options for our forthcoming European trip in September. Safe travels and see you again soon 😃👍🏻🚐🚐 Trev n Sue
We really enjoyed our long weekend, thank you for your company, catch you soon.
We stayed there last year. It’s a great location to break our journey when we head south and it’s excellent for our three dogs. The walk along the disused railway line to Morrison’s in Staveley is good if the weather is fine. Thanks as always for sharing an interesting video.
Yes, we went along there.
Hi jenny, Bob, & Trevor & sue & poppy & her other furry friends. I like this site as it is very quiet & pretty. I hope you all have a lovely time. Lots of love. Linda xx ❤
Yes, it was very peaceful!
We love Poolsbrook…a nice straight run down from just outside Durham with our caravan. We were actually on pitch 44 in November, although it looks as if they’ve upgraded the taps on the serviced pitches. We took the electric hire bikes out and went down along the canal…great walks nearby and also a good day out at Hardwick Hall National Trust. Enjoy your next location….Helen & Mark xx
Thanks, that explains the work on the back of the pitches.
Love poolsbrook , great walk to chesterfield via the canal ( near Morrisons) even better on a bike
Yes, good area for bikes.
Stayed here two years ago - Enjoyed our stay although Staveley isn't the prettiest of places. Bolsover castle is worth a visit and we where grateful for the extra push of the electric bikes to get up the hill. There is a bus stop right outside the site with a good connection to Chesterfield.
Great video as always was interesting to see how to get into Poolsbrook as we are currently staying here tonight Friday 10 Feb on way up to East Yorkshire . And what a difference a few days make site is almost full today only a couple of spaces available compared to your visit last week .👍 best wishes Mark & Hazel
Half term in some places, should look less 'like a car park' 👍😊
@@BobEarnshawMoHo definitely don’t look like a car park This weekend . But I forgot this week is half term that’s why it will be full then
Southbound Bob 😆 nice film 👍 it does look a little grim on first arrival though
It was a bit empty.
This site brings back many memories, was here a few years ago with 3 Flatcoats and Cocker Spaniel. Lovely walks off site. Sadly only have the Cocker now.
We were there the same time, spotted our car and caravan on the video ☺️
I stayed on pitch 41 around 18 mths or a little less ago and the pitches were serviced pitches back then. Nice site. Local .... ish ..... for me. Enjoyed the vid. Nice to walk with the dogs around the late there.
Thanks, they did some sort of work there though.
Always good content. Sure does look a lovely camp site, with all the nicely laid out facilities. Seems only a shop missing. Stay safe and enjoy.
Thanks, yes a shop would have been handy.
Looks a nice campsite, thought it would have been busier too, strange at the moment as they seem to be either quiet or fairly busy randomly. We are planning to visit the area later in the year so great to see some ideas on places to stay. (Thank you)
Looked like a decent selection of books and things, always nice to have a look at the local area.
Very practical hat too - I got one similar as a stocking filler at Christmas and it came in very handy so far.
Always great to see you guys and Trev n Sue,
Hope you have had (or having) a great stay,
All the best, David & Rachel 👍
Thanks. Loads of things to do in the area and good walking too.
There are brilliant dog walks
Is this the new parking between the pegs? I’ve yet to experience them. Does seem a simpler way of doing things. 😊
Yes, we've seen this on quite a few sites and it is easier, no more arguments about how close to the peg.
Almost Drive past my House in Creswell. Its nice at poolsbrook. Great site to go to if you do Park run too. As one around the lake.
Yes, we saw the athletes setting out on the Saturday!
Oh Bob You was Doing so Good then let your self Down, Knew where you was going to, then Thought was going in Opp Direction and Times Stayed at a Site ,Doh !!! 🤭
Nice Vid inWrongDirection
Thanks 👍
They certainly look nicer and more spread out than Australian CPs. Everybody's crammed into ones here and with every man and his dog parking their Landcruiser 200 or Dodge RAM tow vehicle on site makes it worse. Are caravan awnings and roof top air conditioners not common or popular on British caravans?
Thank you, that doesn't sound relaxing at all. It's the middle of winter here with temperatures barely above 5°C, but some hardy souls put awnings up in winter. I would say that there's not the need for air conditioning in the UK. We probably have a few days a year with temperatures above the 30°C mark.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Right now I think I'd happily swap weather. We're getting 38°C by day and 31°C by night. We're hoping to do a motorhome tour of England, Wales and Scotland later in the year. I realise though that you don't go to the UK for the weather. Is it easy enough to find campgrounds and caravan parks close to London and historic areas (Stonehenge, old castles etc.)? We're paying the equivalent of £0.96/litre for fuel. No doubt we will get a shock with British fuel prices.
It’s a bit characterless for us, just looks like a big car park x
Well, we'll certainly go back!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo what do you like about it? xx
The easy access to the large Country Park for walks, the open feel as Poppy is scared of items dropping from trees, the location as there is lots to do in the area: Hardwick Hall, Great British Car Journey, Tramway Museum and the Peak District towns such as Matlock Bath. The site is clean with good facilities. It looked empty because it wasn't very busy as it was early February.
@@jimsmum21 Great Indian takeaway in Staveley. Recommend visit to Tapton Lock and walks along the canal, where you can cycle too. Site is immaculate, especially showers
May as well just go park in a carpark. Looks proper grim. Funerals have more atmosphere
Well we enjoyed ourselves!
Party asset in the house.
It’s actually very nice , and it is the beginning of February
What bleak places UK campsites seem to be. Gravel and tarmac car parks with little bits of grass inbetween. Why do you put up with this? In Europe they have hedges between pitches for privicy and grass to park on thats nice to step on. There must be better places than this to camp at?
We really enjoyed our stay here. You have to realise this was a former coal mine and it's an amazing transformation. Caravan and Motorhome Club Sites don't tend to have hedges but other sites do. Also, while we do have many campsites with grass pitches, this time of year they would quickly be turned into ploughed fields if motorhomes parked on them.
