Goodbye 2025
Iona looks for a Regatta
Trip 1: February 2025 Cotgrave, Nottingham. Day 1: We arrived with a few minutes to spare before we were shown to a pitch. Apparently they are busy so we have been allocated what must be the smallest pitch on the site. It is about 9m long but only 3m wide and our van is 2.5 …
Iona does The High Peaks Trail
Trip 15: August 2024, Lees Meadow Farm, Middleton We arrived at 12.30 and started to fill up the water. Richard met us and pointed to our pitch and then he said we may be better further up the row. Once the water was filled we headed for the pitch but it was too uneven so …
Iona returns to Kingsbury
Trip 1:Kingsbury Water Park,Fazeley, February 2024. Day 1: This is our first trip of 2024 and we return to Kingsbury again. There is a discount for one reason and there is lots of places to walk. This trip we intend to walk into Kingsbury but that will be on another day. Once we were set …

Iona goes Cultural in Stratford.
Trip 15: Riverside Touring Park, Stratford upon Avon. RSC Theatre We had an easy drive down to Stratford and the campsite was easy to find. The warden took us to the motorhome service point where we filled up with water and then we had a choice of pitches so we chose one near the facilities. …
Iona goes to Kingsbury Country Park
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 …
