    Spot the geographic mistake, we crossed two bridges at St Olaves, not St Osyth which is a totally different place in Essex. Apologies to all and thanks to Phil for pointing it out 👍🏻🙂

    What a lovely quite spot!
    You're right about the rain in East Anglia. I feel like Cambridgeshire has been soggy since New Year!

      I think things are improving. We had some April showers and it’s been very cold in the wind but at least the ground is drying now. Let’s hope the sun warms us up in May. We are heading north in June so I think it’s best to leave the sweaters in the van 😂👍🏻💙🚐 Trev

      Thank you, yes the beach at Gorleston is lovely. Never crowded but always beautiful. We used to go there a lot more and had forgotten just how much we enjoyed it 😃👍🏻 Trev

    Hi Trev and Sue a great video as ever and welcome back! A good job done on Smirf and he looked great for his holiday totally agree with making sure the tanks are all clean! I remember the hassle with those UK stickers so I bought a magnetic one last time we went to France which works well and left no marks on the car
    Also I had the same as you with the euro lites last time I had a tip from a Brit at Calais euro tunnel to leave the headlamps on and the heat helps them come off complete last time it worked….
    Thanks for taking us with you on the weekend Gorleston looked lovely I remember seeing signs for there when we went to Lowestoft on holiday and we ran out of days but I’d love to go back over to Norfolk as our friends are in Diss love places like that with a good beach for the boys and a good pub for us! It is a truly lovely county and recognised Beccles as we went there for the day!
    Trev it’s been all over it’s been shockingly bad here in the West Midlands since the new year so much rain and flooding here’s hoping for a dry summer
    Sorry it’s been a while for me to comment been working strange hours at work due to election ao catching up! All the best to you all Daniel

      Thanks for the long comment. We really appreciate you taking the time when you are so busy. I have a few more videos planned soon. Great tip there about the headlights. The back of my van is fibreglass so the magnet option wouldn’t work so will just add a small sticker this time 😃👍🏻 Trev

    Lovely to see you both back out Trev and Sue.
    The site looked lovely - we haven’t risked gras pitches yet 😃, but that was really peaceful and quiet.
    A cool bike ride and Gorlestone looked good- lovely beaches along there.
    And a Ghost Ship by the Waveney.
    We were in Southwold and Halesworth a couple of weeks back. For some reason I’ve never been into Ghost Ship, but I have to say it was nectar! 😃
    Safe travels guys.

      Thank you, we are very nervous of grass but this field was pretty well drained and we have had a week or two with less rain. Earlier in the season was very wet though. We like Adnams beers and a bit of Greene King IPA or Icebreaker 😃🍺 We are out again in a couple of weeks, on grass with another 35 vans on our rally. Some sunshine would be nice 😃 Enjoy the new season 🚐👍🏻💙 Trev n Sue

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  4 місяці тому

      We have full confidence with the field at Sutton. We have been there in March when it’s been snowing and all vehicles got off without assistance. If it’s damp and you have the car, you can always hitch up in the car park on the concrete. It’s near the coast so well drained sandy soil. The other side of the A12 tends to be softer and more prone to flooding. You’ll be fine 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev

      It’s one of those jobs that just has to be done. Not my favourite job. I may try the liquid next time as I think it may be easier. 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev

    Hi Trev and Sue, nice to see you both out and about on your bikes. The CL looked lovely. I used to holiday at Gorleston when our children were small, it used to be a really quiet place to visit, still looks lovely. Sue going in the gents ha ha , take carre and have a lovely weekend x Julie and Tony x

    Nice to see you back in the U.K. (sorry we don’t tend to be into watching anyone’s foreign trips) Smirf looking good, sticker removal is easier with a hairdryer for future knowledge, that site looked nice and peaceful, a lovely bike ride too. Have a good 2024 season 👍

      Thanks both, I have used a hairdryer before but didn’t think of it this time. Good tip 👍🏻 We got very behind with UA-cam and suddenly it was Easter 🫢 Now we are going out more, we’re likely to have more time and footage to share 😃🚐 Trev

    Another first class video - thank you. Just out of interest I used Puriclean for many years to clean the water system but now use Purisol which is made by the same company but in the slightly more manageable liquid form.

    • @PoshcatsCamping
      @PoshcatsCamping  4 місяці тому

      Thanks Donny, parts of the promenade was cycle friendly but the top path was not so that’s why I rode on the grass. We are pleased with how the ceramic coating has lasted. It’s 2 years now and it’s still pretty good. Love the blue paint when it’s cleaned 👍🏻😃🚐 Trev

    You had some nice weather there, I like the fact you can cycle along the sea front there. I must ask, where did you get your cycle mirrors from, I’ve a MiRyder & find trying to look over my shoulder for traffic can get a little wobbly having the 12” wheels.

      @PoshcatsCamping  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes, nice easy ride to the coast at Gorleston. The mirrors were from Amazon. These are similar to ours on this link amzn.eu/d/gZa4moo Easy to fit with alun keys 😃 🚐Trev
