A VAN LIFE NIGHTMARE it’s all gone wrong ! 

Thank you to all our lovely subscribers and your comments that are helping loads ❤❤❤ We haven’t had betty fixed yet as been told it could run in to thousands money we can’t afford at the minute but will keep you all up to date ❤❤ lisa mark and woody xx

Sorry to see your disaster with the gate. One quick thing to try would be to put the steering to full left lock then move slowly forward, this would swing the tail end of the camper away from the gate.

Great video guys, I have been watching your channel on and off for a good while now and didn't realise you did one in Congleton! I live on the estate opposite Heath Farm! (saw my house from your drone footage, never thought that would happen watching your videos haha) Plenty of Chinese takeaways here for sure. You went past one of the best around Cheshire at minute 5:38 ! The forum with the big car park is also a great one! I think there is 9 from what I can count in my head. Shame you came on a day where places were closed. Saturdays can be a buzzing little town with great nightlife. The Lion and Swan just up from DV8 allows dogs and is really nice! The Olde kings arms is about to re-open under new owners, That would of been perfect for food and the dog! Come back next year and it'll be a different place, the market area is being rebuilt with bars and plenty of food options!

So sorry to see this , hoping it’s not too bad ! Fingers crossed for you both , Mike and Lindsay.

Nice to see you here in Congleton, and yes we do have our fair share of Chinese restaurants and takeaways! Looking forward to your next episode. X

Hi again Mark Lisa and gorgeous Chico I've just been binge watching some of your videos woody was so lovely bless him xx

Oh crikey, sorry to see that, gutting isn't it but easily done and hope you managed to get out without doing too much more damage and manage to get it sorted out without too much damage on the wallet. Looked a nice pub where you stopped over - the carvery looked delicious. All the best, David & Rachel 👍

Hi lisa and mark great trip out what a shame that's happened I just hope there's not to much damage to your van 😟

Fantastic vlog as always cheered me right up this evening, well until the end part. So sorry to see Betty has been damaged, as gutting and disheartening as it is, try to stay positive guys no one was hurt or injured thats main thing. 😢 ❤️

Congleton is awesome. We keep our boat at scholars Green just down the road towards Kidsgrove and have walked into Congleton many times. Plus it has a spoon for some cheap ale sampling! Lovely place. Enjoy!

Great vlog as always, Gutted for you but hopefully not too much damage done.

Oh dear, I hope you lovely motorhome is OK. Thanks for sharing another interesting video.

Mark goes to Bakewell for a Tart, leaves with Nightmares from a Gate …..lmao!

Sorry to see your motorhome being damaged, pity you could not take off the rusty bracket and maybe help you get out. Smashing video up to the end hope you get it fixed soon

Know that it's going to cost you a very lot of money to get your van repaired but thank goodness that none of you were hurt ❤️❤️❤️

Sounds good That one Mark

Love the music !! Big sound!!

Hi mark and Lisa 👋just us 2 saying hi 👋thanks for sharing this video. 🤔 den and sue 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌

OMG 😲 hope there's not too much damage. Great vlog sad ending.

Oh No 😪 The overhang on the rear axle is something that requires careful attention. My heart goes out to you both & hope you get it fixed 👍🏻 Onwards & Upwards and Happy Travelling 😊

So sick for you guy's! Caught our 1st day brand new caravan reversing into a tight spot know how you must feel! Can I say it was great vid as always!😏

sorry to see betty damaged but at least your both ok hope the bills kinder than you think and it doesnt spoil it for you on the road again im in australia and wouldnt miss them theyre never dull and finish way too quick but i have to have my fix now lol lots of love 😘👍

Glad to see you got Betty fixed. So many Chinese restaurants it should be Hong Kong-leton?

Was a great vlog until that happened! Felt sick for you both!! Hope you get out without doing much more damage guys xx

That looks bad, sorry this has happened to you - fingers crossed you get it resolved quickly 😊 Will be interested in what the solution is to fix that.

OMG as if thy have a cafe in honour of Woody and he certainly enjoyed his dinner bless him I had a little king Charles and like Woody he would eat anything and enjoy it ❤Aww no my heart goes out to you both as we all know its not cheap getting repairs done on our vans 😢hope you get Betty fixed soon ......Take care guys 😊😊

Awww the poor van, glad it wasn’t you guys in an accident. Cannot believe woody is named after Toy Story lol my dog Jessie is as well and her brother buzz and belle. Also if you do come to Tewkesbury we have a few Chinese’s too and if you want the best custard slice parsons a bakery chain down my way do amazing ones with jam in and they are the absolute best xxx

Good luck 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Oh no!! It’s the worst nightmare when you damage your van, but at least you are both safe and whilst it’s no consolation I’m sure you will be able to get it fixed and like new again. Hope you find someone who can help at a reasonable price. 😢

Hi Lisa and Mark , that was painful watching that gate dig deeper with every movement ‘ 😮 on the Chinese of things we did a couple of nights at Bolton Le Sands and we used the Sea View Chinese smashing meal well worth a visit and we are quite fussy about our Chinese meals . We have tried a few between the Isle Of Wight to Thurso on our travels … ATB

great vid as always felt so sorry for you damaging betty we got home from Harrogate show yesterday and i caught my own refuse bins and put a hole in the side of the motorhome so know how gutted you are it will all come out in the wash

Ah guys am sure its repairable adventure marks ,the rear of your van will kick out about 2 ft on full lock ,it can also happen when cars try to sneak past when your turning right they don't always allow enough room for the rear swing out as many are not aware so watch the right turns with traffic sneaking past on nearside left ..

Only live 10 miles away and never knew some of the places you have reviewed

Hi Mark and Lisa, Looks like Mark found Chinese heaven, hopefully you get to choose sometimes 😉. The carvery looked wonderful hope you enjoyed. We can't believe the ending you both looked like you cty😥. I bumped our van and was gutted, hope there isn't too much damage and all is OK,

So sorry to hear van got damaged, it is so annoying and costly. Not what you need hope you manage to get it fixed without it being over priced 🙏🏾

Such a shame about the gate accident. Our MH developed stress cracks and they were repaired under warranty. Only the area where the cracks were was painted and I can’t tell where it was done and I’m very picky about stuff like that so you might be able to get a localised repair done and hopefully not have to have the whole side painted🤞🤞

What a flippin shame. Really enjoyed your video up to this point . Feel so sad for you . Annoying but reparable , at least you are all ok x

Ouch. That's so sad. I did the same scrapping a metal wheelie bin but yours is more damage. I feel for you 😪

If you are struggling calder valley motorhomes ravensthorpe are amazing

That music sounds good, loveeeee the way this lady talks. Typical of buses in this area, …..late or they don’t show up at all 🤣 Your hubby likes his Chinese …..lol I wonder if he’s ever heard of or been to Yang Sing in Manchester, I tell ya they are Fantastic! They are have some Chinese Buffet All you can eat Chinese buffet in Manchester, it’s the biggest in Europe, not sure what they are called but their is videos on RU-vid about it. I’ve never been to it just seen videos of it on RU-vid.

Oh no that's a shame...I was that enjoying your vlog I forgot you'd said you'd had a disaster. I hope it wasn't too much to fix 🤞🙈❤️

Hi Mark and Lisa, Just thinking about you guys and hope your keeping your chins up after the incident, We were wondering how things were going and hoping your back out vlog ing soon, Take care P and J

Mark really needs to try the THE GOLDEN WOK Chinese in Hornsea over on the east coast just south of Bridlington it’s the best one we have ever found

I’d put a fake locker door where that dent is, no one will ever know 😉

all good up until the gate incident, hope you got off it without more damage xx

Aww Guys sorry to see that happen to your van 🚐, seen that happen before, and trying to get out of it makes it worse, hope you get it sorted, Best wishes, Bruce and Linda.

Mark fancies a tart!! Lol 😂 Lisa. I really hope you get your van out of there! 😢

Nice to see you in Congleton. We live just down the road from Heath Farm. Would have been lovely to meet you both. Are you going Van life festival? Gutted about the damage to your van but nothing that can't be fixed.

Oh sorry to hear it could run in thousands gutted for you x

Great vlog 👍. Sorry about the accident 😭. If the damage is going to cost a lot to repair, is there any way that you can claim on your MH insurance?

No need for any music clips ...u folks are entertaining enuf❤

Oh no. I hope the damage won't put you off the road for too long. 😢😢

Mark & lisa I’d love you to visit Worcester there are 2 nice Chinese places

Oh shit! nightmare 😖 great vlog though.... hope all turns out ok! Trials and Tribulations of vanning eh 🤦‍♂ ..... JP

Ouch!!!! That's sickening.

How do Lisa and Mark I've yet to try a pub stop but deffo going to do one. That one you did was a bargain. Like you said, most sites now are charging 30 quid a night so a stop and a meal for 20 quid is an absolute bargain. With all the chinese chippies it was obviously gonna be Mark's idea of heaven. OMG..... gutted at the damage on the van. I'm so sorry for you guys and a horrible cliff hanger ending. I do hope it didn t get any worse 😥 wishing you all the best-Kenny

Absolutely gutted for you! Great video but what a rotten end to a great trip. Hope you can get it sorted ok. Cheers Helen & Dave 😢

youtube works in funny ways never seen your channel befor but was interesting i live in the next town too Congleton Biddulph staffordshire just up the road congleton never seems that nice when i go down so is funny seening through someone else's eye's 😀

What’s behind the scrape/hole? You could put a gas bbq hook up there or any outlet or locker box. I did it in a caravan and cut the hole out for bbq outlet and no one knew. Saved loads.

There is sum nice food shops there

Hi can u tell me what sat nav u use by the way me and the wife love your videos can't wait until the next one

1:00 nice 80s generic rock intro music 😜. 🤘

Thanks

That’s a shame what happened…was he reversing ? I always drilled it into my guys to get someone to help at rear…

OMG what a shame 😳 that’s the thing with motorhomes today…..the whole side is one panel

Jest started watching you love chi Iv got one but didnt know this white dog

Best of luck guys x Watch out mate ...you eat too much dude .

Turn the opposite way you will get your back and out

Too late I know - jacking the van up to move it away from the gate would probably work.

Forum Restaurant is the best Chinese in Congelton. You missed a treat.

OMG I nearly cried hart breaking. cant you claim on your insurance?

Did the gate swing closed on you? It looks awful. So sorry this has happened to you xx

Hiya do you have a night diesel heater and if so who fit it please

How did it do it then 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gutted for you 😢

Rate my campervan takeaway...back on the road again.

OMG how scary

new to you chaNNEL KEEP UP THE GOOD VID NOT GOOD THANKS LEE

That looks small mark

If you had a spanner you could of took that rusty plate off and then put it back on when you moved the van

Have you been to Hebden Bridge.

It's got stuck behind a tractor

Have a word with Oaktree Motorhomes I'm sure they can help you out 😊
