We visited Carsington Water Caravan and Motorhone Club Site on a beautiful sunny day. Today was the first time we used our bike rack for a leisurely stroll around the lake. It didn’t quite go as expected.

hi no we’re at carsington Water Caravan and motor home Club site in darbishire and it’s peaceful and beautiful Sunday morning so people are leaving yeah little information room here so there a bit too much info for me I got overwhelmed by it all I’m on the wiser you got any facts one thing I do know is that we’re right on border between staffire and arire did you know that no and there there’s some water that kind of splits it up that’s where I learned from that water splits it up does it I don’t know if that does I don’t know I got overwhelmed so the dog walk here is fantastic it goes all the around way around that’s a massive Bon of contention in forums people turn up early and then they get refused entry they’re not happy about it right have you read about that no I’ve not read about that but one thing I will say is we turned up at a campsite in Scotland early he was an independent and they let us in we’re about 2 hours early yeah it’s bit strictor here though tell you what though yeah it’s nice entrance that a’t it beautiful yeah this is the dog walk look at them wheels that sh van it’s beautiful yeah okay dog Walk This Way and does this lead is actually down to the water I saw somebody doing it yesterday so I’m taking a little bit of a punt let’s go for it we’re going this way you sure it’s not up there yeah we came down last night for Sunset didn’t we yeah and it was gorgeous it was we had a good night last night we had a lovely night had a sunset walk yeah we had a sunset walk we had something nice to eat and also we watched the boxing we did well one of us did

ction barbed wire that’ll stop you falling wower this is [Music] brilliant okay yeah surely there’s an easier way maybe I should have picked a map up CLA well I enjoyed that little diversion to be honest I did bit of danger I think we’re just going to go right back to where we started from oh yeah that’s been a massive waste of time steady clar where’s your adventurous Spirit there’s a lot of people leaving cuz it’s Sunday morning are they electric the buzz yeah ID Buzz see we got an ID buzz it good oh this is fantastic it’s lovely weather it’s nice and warm there’s butterflies out when

Sheffield going at creme yes how would you rate this campsite out of 10 oh it’s high this one nine a nine out of 10 yeah I think I would as well look this man past hello sorry M thank you don’t that was really bad I feel really bad about that now it was a lady sorry about that now this is a good walk everybody because it’s down the main road however there’s a separate path yeah so it feels safe I don’t like walking on the road who likes walking on the road I don’t I don’t think many people do do they so this is good cuz look you look I mean I’m even walking backwards now doing a pro gimbal shot yeah that’s pretty impressive you’re backwards walking I could do with somebody just guiding me yeah to the right to the right so if if anybody wants to come and Inter turn for us help us film well we can’t pay cuz we don’t really ow earn that much just be nice I didn’t bang me head watch out for them what are they they’re not Nettles I’ve noticed that when the dogs bump into Nettles it doesn’t seem to hurt them it’s almost like they’ve got fur I know they or some protective barrier I’ve got like hair on my head but if it was to sting my head I think it’d sting my head any vets out there can explain to us at this point you come away from the main road and back into peace and quiet it is nice to get away from main road so I know something about here yeah it’s 8 miles around ooh oosh and the guy in the uh campsite said it’s about a 4our walk all the way around we’re not doing that today are we 8 miles it’s a long way around yeah um we’ve got a puppy it’s just we do it for you it’s just a puppy yeah we can’t sorry folks it’s just too much too much England in more time is as good as anywhere so the visitor center is 2.3 km quite windy the guy in the reception said to go anticlockwise okay cuz that’s that’s the quickest way to the cafe oh over that way then if you go anticlockwise yeah yeah looks like they’re having a sailing competition today CLA who’s got his Spiner out he’s what out his Spiner out goodness should I tell you what this is about yeah so it’s in memory of the men that died constructing the reservoir died yeah constructed people and actually it’s nearly the anniversary 23rd of may look how young they were in the 20s oh wow I wonder what happened people are still coming because uh it’s got Christmas stuff on it oh yeah oh dear dangerous work isn’t it [Music] yeah so this is from 1992 then what does this say built to serve the people of the Midlands by seven Trent water oh interesting facts here capacity 36 million cubic meters that’s smaller than what I can even [Music] think so the draw off Tower houses the controls to pump the water out of the reservoir so that’s a drawer off Tower yeah where does it go to uh from here it’s taken VI an aqueduct to ambergate which is where we drove through ambergate carington water can supply 206 megalit per day we may add a megaliter got all these valleys darbishire valleys down here haven’t you oh you do I’ve never heard of a darish Valley well you have now do you know any well there’s one at the back of you it’s like that’s what darish is famous for is’t it it’s valleys oh look down there what that Valley in darish down the hill it’s like a reservoir thing funnily enough look at these two Reservoir Dogs [Music] so this place got open in 1992 right it’s quite some time ago then yeah did you know opened it have a guess Jimmy um dve M rage no her majesty the queen oh did you change yeah hey look at [Music] this they smoke it she like Barbara wood house it’s not a bone you know that’s what she used to say if you weren’t sure we got some new shoes CLA I am at the peak of fashion hope nobody from Paris sees me here I’ll have to give up my day job and go to Paris and eat forgett I reckon you could walk quite comfortably to Paris in them know Hey listen I’ve got an interesting fact for you have you if you follow us you’ll know that we love a Madre which sounds like a Spanish beer doesn’t it we thought it were Madrid and we uh went to Barcelona and I asked a taxi driver where Madre were brooded and he had no idea didn’t know what I was talking about and it’s bothered me ever since so I did some digging and I found out that mad is actually brewed in the Spanish pound of Tad cter Yorkshire so then it’s a Yorkshire beer it’s a Yorkshire beer it makes a lot of sense yeah that’s why we love it so much that’s why we love it Madre the taste of Yorkshire Andrew what do you like butter I don’t know what’ you do you it’s a child put it under your chin yeah and look does it go yellow oh h no it just says just itched a bit that oh actually now everything’s just falling off it let me try you not sure if it some Beady boys do you like butter yeah it goes yellow look it means you like butter it works do you like butter I just no I think that’s that marmalade from breakfast I like Madre wonder if it works for Madre we need to find the pub and SE so when we get a pint we’ll put it under under me chin and see if it goes the m test so if it goes yellow then you like it slightly disappointed that that’s not the cafe you know when you work a thirst up yeah I know it it’s only 300 M 300 M if I can make it I hope you’ll appreciate what we do for you I mean this is hard work this sun’s out we got 300 M to walk before we can get a latte mochata [Music] we’ve made it to the cafe CLA dogs are welcome inside should go in oh yeah bit of a queue as well I’ll see you back outside in CLA thank you oh I’m sorry pups there’s a restaurant upstairs as [Music] well all right then CLA I’ve got some things for us okay what do you have for us so I’ve got you a a latte thank you3 we’ll probably watch these back in 10 years time think it were cheap and then yeah I’ve got a LTE as well and then we’ve got these for the dogs oh what are they doggy treat biscuits but I missed the trick cuz they actually do doggy sausage in Little Things They prepared them I think but there we go and then we’ve got our sweet taste test I found some sweets what do you think they are are they pear drops that CL what did you know BBC good food magazine voted snug Bri ice cream in the top 10 in the UK that’s very good yeah you see I’m sure that’s true but I am a little bit dubious me about this stuff because every ice cream man that used to come past my house when I were a kid they were all award-winning ices it yes the one that comes in states is the same thing awardwinning isers but I’ve never seen a ice cream Awards have you Claire’s got aviators on now look out Tom [Music] clu a big que for that now you got to come at right time aren’t you is that the queue you went to no I went in the other one oh look at that this Pablo is a candle so we’re going carry on straight down the water so we think this is where the pub is it definitely is it’s just a pub the guy in the reception said to go anticlockwise look at that for parking I’ll be able to do that on me own would you look at that they are buttercups yeah there’s loads of them they’re gorgeous aren’t they yeah [Music] we’re making improvements to this area I think it looks all right it’s a lot of weed so you can have a look out of these little Halls here you can just look at that yeah but you can hide here what you hiding from the birds so that you can view them properly in the natural habitat what a man-made Reservoir you can IDE here a look oh yeah look there’s loads here CLA yeah there isn’t there mean sh is that a better look she same other one I think look at this Lord like big pigeon things [Music] something’s just caught my eye actually what is it I think I’ve just seen something that’s very valuable yeah yeah just over there I think that’s the pub don’t think it’s that far away that must be another one it’s gotab be old thing in it that blue Air is caught on aren’t it go on Dora ni is fashionable now is it you know what that looks like what like Pablo before and after he’s had his uh groom that’s where he goes in like and one at backs what he comes out like is it yeah I think you’re right about the temperature it’s just a nice temperature isn’t it it’s about 20° what’s so funny about that it’s 20 de why have you come to 20 then talk talk through your philosophy there what 20 why is 20 good temperature yeah because it’s warm enough not to have a cart on yeah oh yeah and but it’s not too warm that you can’t walk around oh yeah so it’s perfect temperature yeah that’s why CLA 20° trust me you don’t want rashers when you’re walking [Music] hey look at this CLA is it it’s one of them living fences have you seen them it’s a right skill that like a a hedge that they’re twine into a fence I think it’s beautiful you only get this for a fleety moment don’t you yeah it’s lovely they don’t last long so you got to enjoy it while you can paragliders up there CLA wow would you like to do that absolutely not absolutely not 100% million per not why I think you’d be really good at it no I’ve watched UNS and off we needed it ended up in [Music] France we found it we’re going to the pub we’re getting a little bit worried there weren’t we yeah we weren’t going to find it anyway if you come down we thought we might have to go on this road but there’s a path that goes all the way down so you don’t have to do that so anyway walk on this is is a fast road yeah busy road watch out for cyclist as well that’s my tip there we go a short little walk up here and then we’re at the [Music] pubo sniff it out guys can you smell the M you can see Signs of Life yeah civilization looks like I’ve finished my work out I’m sweating me back side off you can’t see it in them shorts oh wouldn’t that be awful if you could see your sweety ass in the show carington Village this way I can see it we got some umbrellas out and just maybe there’s some seats that’s us for afternoon I can see it I hope we can get a table I do I think I can see one right run straight for it then I’m going for it I’m going for it come on guys so I found the pub yes P of Cru camper in a caring glass although there is the mie thing some people are saying it’s Carling it’s just brewed by Carling in Tad cter there we go so this is it it’s beautiful got a big Garden realiz yeah nice little stop off you can look what sheep there’s quite a few pubs around this Lake apparently this Reservoir this is one of them the next KN down Gard there someone sign as well see them sting their Garden yeah but it takes a lot of work it looks very well looked after yeah think if we were retired though I would be like that you would digging oh yeah baby Cruz compo oh yeah don’t drink and drive kids walk and Thrive so R bab and custard I can taste the custard so and I can taste RAB so I think it’s quite it works quite a fitting name I like this little tour of retro Suites we did it in pit loer didn’t we we did where we had coconut mushrooms two out of 10 and two out of 10 and strawberry bon bons five out of 10 what about rubab and custard four out of 10 four they’re the nation’s favorite you’re very hard to play aren’t you who said Na’s favorite who said that I did I nearly got pineapple cubes would that have been a b choice I like them yeah of course you do you know what I like best told you what fruit gums [Music] a [Music] [Applause] [Music] Ginger and honey and ice cream it’s nice is it and you’ve got what raspber lemonade as I was saying about perfect temperatures yeah there’s only a slight bit of drip any utter than this you get a lot of drippage it’s not very enjoyable got your beard yep it’s amazing pretty tiny wizard sleeve that it’s been carved out this is Stone Island not the jacket [Music] so originally the stones were placed so that each one would give you a different view across the reservoir but it’s just taking over now all right so that’s that then shall we move on I’m going to go for a drive now on my bike this is the moo Rover right look at that so this is what I’m using to commute to work on but I’ve got this little gobbins to put the camera on so we’re going to have a tour of the lake you don’t want to come there no it’s a shame really see all them couples going around I’ve got to go on my own the bikes on the bikes I’m going to go on my [Music] own must have been love but it’s over now Lay a Whisper On My Pillow leave the winter on the ground I wake up lonely the a of Silence in the bedroom all around touch me now I close my my eyes and dream away in my try [Music] [Applause] that must have been good but I lost it somehow must have been love but it’s all now from the moment we touched till the time had round out make believe where together that I’m Shelter by your heart but in the outside I turn to water like a tear Dr in your pal and it’s a winter stay a dream away it must have been love but it’s all over now it was all that I wanted now I’m living without it must feel love but it’s over out it’s where the water [Applause] flows it’s where the wind LS [Music] [Applause] it must have been long but it’s all [Music] [Music] so yeah roads where more comfortable but it’s actually sound very well liked on roads out [Music] man it must have been but it’s over over now it must have been good but I lost it somehow it must have been think

  1. Hi peeps, another fab VD, loving the crocs n socks Claire but not sure that a sweaty arse wasn't TMI! 😝 you seem to have nailed the quality of filming again which others could do with learning from! Plus very professional having the "TV A" logo top right 👏 always a pleasure to watch. Laters Andy & Lyn.

  2. Terrific vlog, one of your best! Carsington water brought back a lot of memories for us. We rented 1/2 pint cottage (great name?) in Belper many years ago. One outing was to CW where we rented bikes & cycled round. I was so impressed with the bike I rented that I bought it ( to cycle to & from work in the summer months, 6 miles each way) Then I realised how was I going to get it home? Ended up driving into Derby to Halfords to buy a bike rack for the car 😂 I've still got that bike even now. Also on our recent tour to Scotland we dragged a bike all the way up, around & then back home again & it never came off the bike rack? I bought it to cycle to Cove to visit the Arctic Convoy memorial but we drove the motorhome instead as we were too early for Inverewe gardens club site! Tim, Jane & Archie.

  3. Fruit Gums rock, but much better before they went Vegan and thats not a knock at Vegans its just a fact. Oh and they are bloody so expensive for a bag you cant even get your hand in. Great vlog guys keep it up almost 10K subs.

  4. Absolutely glorious 😍 What a beautiful site and area. You’d never guess you were in Derbyshire. How fabulous everything looks when the sun is shining ☀️ You are so lucky. You’ve got a great relationship and have such a lovely life 😍 Nikki x

    As for Madri 😮 – mind blown 🤯 🤯🤯😂 Bloody Tadcaster!! 😂😂

  5. The Dynamic Duo deliver another brilliant video ..Attenborough will be crapping himself with Claire’s I think they are big pigeons line and imagine if we could see his sweaty arse through his shorts🤣🤣brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

  6. Great wee video guys, thanks for sharing, it certainly looks a very interesting place. I think the car was just one of your followers Andy. 🤣👍 Take care and stay safe.💖
