time they filmed this stopping somewhere I was making this salad yeah I know you’re always making salads I know at the r take the third exit to9 [Music] oh this bridge here is fantastic you about the industrial site but but it is quite windy up here as well I think I’ll slow down a little bit here and over here J trying to keep you out the picture not far wor from where we’re coming in November

across to peria Caravans there’s a road comes out here somewhere isn’t it I know I don’t see it though no that’s the sight down there isn’t it down that line yeah there is dundy those plates are getting annoying [Music] this Caravan seems to have stopped at the roundout take the second exit oh car there’s a car broken down yeah couldn’t see around it no it’s about three cars and then the car on the Caravan yeah stop behind a car that’s stopped quite busy through dande isn’t it yeah can’t go any other way though can you no in half a mile turn left on 90 that’s turn me left here turn left

of a mile turn left onto great Lock Road yeah this screws with I’ve got the um instructions and these agree with it it’s only left here not very far away then no it says in 100 yards turn left okay yeah cuz you can walk into the town can’t you yeah so we did that last time of a mile turn left onto the road it’s here I think is that here here here here yeah no no it’s not no it’s not there I think it was there was it yeah well that’s not what this is saying no she that’s why I was confused that’s what I said to you the road what road there no entry sign where here oh brilliant well done sat so the club instructions were right she was well wrong I was looking at that and I thought oh that must be about 100 yards I know maybe they changed it yeah this is Ali here yeah so Aldi’s not very far away no you can probably walk to Ali or even use it to turn around this is why I’ve said to you you see why she why do the instructions say 100 yards and she’s saying quarter of a m well I mean it was to be fair to me I was looking at the satinav and the satinav sort of agreed yeah should have been a clue that Caravan turning into it shouldn’t it it should really yeah I’d looked down there and I could see the sign you couldn’t see the sign I could see the sign yeah when I looked down there but by then we’ve gone past okay it’s quite it’s about 100 like it says here it’s about 100 yards down okay don’t think this will make quite make a how not to arrive at fora L side Caravan and motor home Club side no those people start thinking we’re doing this deliberately yeah so if you’re coming from this direction it’s where that white car is if You’ gone past four Far West End Social Club it’s too far now yeah there’s the sign yeah the sign’s the sign’s there as well on that side must have missed it so sat I’ve got it wrong again yeah that’s why I got I dug out the instr instuctions just in case she got it right the rest of the way just the vital bit of the end yeah it was be coming up there and that’s one way maybe it wasn’t at one time yeah right here no no the road back there okay that’s they just moved yeah oh they’re just pulling up aren’t they there we are no they
