Pleased to hear that Tara is doing well. Still freezing cold in Bedfordshire. I hope your building work goes okay and it's finally cured. Loved Poppy's coat. She looked very cute. Enjoyed the video. Thank you both.
Happy New Year to you both. WOW. We have visited Moffat three times in the past and we love it there as a stopover before our onward travels. But, we've never seen the 'Spitfire Memorial'. We'll find it next time we stay. Brilliant. Also in the graveyard I believe, lies a survivor of the Titanic. I'll have to check that, but I feel sure I'm right. Thanks for all you post. Dave and Sophie x
Love you guys. It really cheers me up seeing your adventures. HNY to all. Hope Tara is ok. That graveyard is the dead centre of Moffat. 😂
Wouldn't it have been more sensible to use the facility showers and also take a Large portable water container with you and not charge your water system up at all in sub zero temperatures ? When it is that cold, it is just asking for trouble, that you can easily avoid.
I have loved the lovely, bright weather we have had but the sun can make driving really difficult 😂
Great video Bob, we were the couple walking gingerly when you arrived on site😃🥶
Spent 3 nights there to see in New year always a lovely atmosphere but perhaps not so good for Poppy with fireworks. Happy new year to you both.
Good one guys, I live in Muirkirk just up the road from Moffat where John McAdam trialed his road surfaces wee fact for you
Pleased to hear that Tara is doing well.
Hello Bob and Jenny, great to hear Tara is feeling better, looks like you have got a bit of lagging to do Bob when you get back home, just hyped your channel, take care and drive safely 👍🐾.
Great to see the sun, but brrr! Thanks for taking me along as I sit on my warm sofa.
Live nearby and forgot you were here this week. Would have loved to say hello and meet Poppy of course! Really informative vlog re the perils of hard winter camping. Thanks.
Those pitches you saw Bob at Moffat tht you said used to be storage are now non electric budget pitches. We stayed on one a few weeks back and it knocked quite a lot off the nightly stay which suited us a treat. Massive too!!
Comments seem to work OK for us. Ian & Antonia
Great video and I guess we should be buying more winterised vans in the future! Interesting that they have moved the Spitfire. I wonder if the original owner has passed away? I know he bequeathed it to the town. Ian
Wow, minus 7, brrh, glad Tara is improving. Red Dog Company dog beds are amazing. Sorry your pipes froze, a lesson to us all, although I doubt we would be camping in those conditions. Moffat looks lovely, we have only ever driven through on the motorway, heading north. The campsite looks great, gosh, very busy for this time of year. Safe journey home today, ahead of Storm Galetti which is due to hit the country tomorrow, but the Met Office are hedging their bets as to where it will hit. ♥xxx
Ah, dear Moffat! We love this town. We recommend Claudio's if you like Italian food.
Gentle hugs for Tara.
Thanks for sharing N&Nx
That is a good lesson learned and we are now going to lag our pipes glad I watched this
The weather is going to get allot worse big storm coming your way take care
A great video! Sorry to hear about your frozen pipes, we hope that it didn't stop you having the relaxing break you wanted 💚
Curious – is there any reason why you can’t park vehicles with logos on site?
Lovely informative video Thankyou – hyped points forwarded to you both 👍
Glad you had a good time, apart from the frozen pipes. You are brave in this cold weather. Lovely village and walks. Glad tara has an orthopedic bed, and getting some rest
Hi
Great news about Tara
We love Moffat it holds a special place in my heart for my family x
Moffat looks a lovely campsite, nice walks for Poppy in her posh jumpers. Moffat Mill had some nice shops, Jenny's scarf looked lovely. The Star Hotel was really narrow amazing. The Spitfire was nice to see. Oh blimey frozen shower pipes, not good that the pipes under the van aren't lagged. Hope it sorted itself out once you got back to slightly warmer weather. Thank you for the tips. Glad to hear Tara is doing ok, great that she has an orthopaedic bed now. Like your breaking news banner.. Hope the work on your bay window goes well take care and keep warm x Julie and Tony x
Really enjoyed seeing moffat again, but a bit cold compared to the south west lol ❤
Thank you for a great video 😊 great advice(as always) about the water tanks… Always loved Moffat C&CC. Booked twice and had to cancel twice due to my Bob becoming too poorly to travel so it’s still on our must visit site list 😊😊. Poppy looking lovely and warm in her new jumpers ❤❤
sell the the british van and by German van all problems gone with a double floor
