A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
Trip 9: Goodwood Revival, Chichester. We were due to go to the Goodwood Revival last year 2020 but then Covid 🦠changed everyone’s plans. Goodwood was just one of the thousands of events cancelled. However we were given the option of a refund or carry the tickets over to the next year, 2021. This year we …
Our last trip to Bridlington was great even if the sun struggled to show it’s face for long. Birdseye view or Bomb run We now have a few weeks before our next outing which will be for 5 nights at a couple of different sites. Add to that the fact that the van has been …
Trip 8: Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club, Bridlington. Wine o’clock on the beach? There were issues to this trip. There was a huge funeral at Lincoln Cathedral so we had to avoid the city centre and use the new Eastern bypass. The new route was much easier and quicker than going our normal route. Then there …
Trip 7: Barn Farm, Scalfold, Melton Mowbray Looking forward to this three night break mainly because the boiler was repaired yesterday and this will be a working test before our next trip north. It will also be the first time we have been away with the new solar panel monitor. I contacted the farmer to …
Truma Boiler Repair at Saxilby by ACTS The good news is that Truma were able to supply me with the parts to repair the boiler and ACTS had booked us in at their Saxilby unit to do the repair. The route to Saxilby had to change because there had been an accident on the A15 …
Trip 6: Bourton on the Water FC, July 27th 2021 I visited Bourton in the 1970s when there was a National Model Flying Championship at RAF Little Rissington. I remember the bridges over the river but that is all, so I am looking forward to our visit. This is also the first trip with two …
The final parts arrived. I did have to wait for the weather to change and we were away for a few days. The mounts were connected to the solar panel and because they were so smooth I did rough them up a bit to make the sikaflex adhesive hold better. The new extension leads arrived …
Trip 5: Glebe House School,Hunstanton, July 13th 2021. We headed back to Norfolk and Hunstanton. We were here two years ago and really liked the town and seafront although we started by going to the wrong campsite. this time I knew where to go so we did not make any unplanned detours. We arrived just …
Iona already has a solar panel and two leisure batteries and to be honest we have never run out on battery power. However with the lack of sun recently we were having to decide what to watch on TV at night and what lights to put on. The TV and the water pump use the …
Trip 4: Everett’s Farm , Foulden, Norfolk. 🌤 Our travels take us from the Cotswolds to Norfolk. The campsite is on a farm next to part of Thetford Forest. When we arrived after travelling along some quite narrow roads we were met by Tina. We are the only ones on the site at present although …
