Trip 9: July 2022, Lyndon Top, Rutland Water. We started the day by heading to Grantham to try out a different garage for Autogas. The forecourt always looked a bit tight for the motorhome but after looking at Google earth I have decided to give it a go. If it is viable then we have …
Trip 8, Clockhouse Farm, Glemsford We left the house at 9.30 because it was just over an hours drive. Once on our way the sat nav told us 2 hrs 49m so we were not going to arrive too early. The route was mainly dual carriageway until we reached Bury St Edmonds and then it …
Trip 7: May 2022. Evesham RFC with the BCC Midlands group. We have been here before in May 2019, and it is a good venue beside the river Avon. There are places to walk and the town is quite pleasant so we decided to come back. The drive down was fairly clear despite the roadworks …
Trip 6: Kingsbury Water Park, Sutton Coldfield. This was a late change in our plans and being a Camping & Caravan Club site is not a normal venue type for us. However the campsite is in the middle of a massive country park of over 600 acres, with fishing lakes, bird sanctuary, water sport lakes …

Trip 1: Maythorne Campsite, Southwell. The heading covers two points, firstly my birthday and secondly our trip to visit Southwell Workhouse museum that was closed the last time we were in Southwell. To be honest the trip here, in fact the first three hours were a collection of catastrophes although that may be a bit …
