2025 A short overview of our camping year.
Goodbye 2025
Iona goes to Withernsea
Trip 15, Park Dean, Withernsea, Yorkshire We set off a bit later than normal because of the later book in time. We crossed the Humber Bridge and I was pleased to see the toll booths were still manned. It all goes to number plate recognition in November. We arrived at the holiday park campsite and …
Iona goes to a Race Course
Trip 8. June 2025, Stratford Race Course The trip took a couple of hours and we arrived to a very busy campsite. There is so much room that we were offered electric or non electric pitches. We went non electric and we just chose a patch of grass at the end of a row. We …
Iona returns to Spurn
Trip 4: April 2025, Kilnsea,Spurn Head. It took us 2.5 hours to get to Kilnsea including a quick rest break. We were soon set up although I do wish we had a windbreak with us for a bit more privacy. We walked to the coast and passed the pub and out onto Spurn. The idea …
Iona finds the Tissington Trail
Trip 17: October 2024. WashBrooke Farm, Fenny Bentley We found our pitch but it was quite steep and we broke a ramp trying to get level. The warden allowed us to change our position which is better and we managed to pitch without the broken ramps. We are still -1° out but we can cope …
Iona finds the Nidderdale Greenway
Trip 16, September 2024, Bilton Park, Harrogate We got settled and had lunch. We walked along the old railway trail (The Nidderdale Greenway) and then into the housing estate looking for a pub. We found some shops, well a barbers, a convenience shop and Chinese take away. We walked through the estate which is a …
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 goes North
Trip 14: August 2024 Carrs Lane, Sleights, Whitby. Over 3.25 hours to get here with a stop at the top of the moor for a coffee and Sandwiches. Then down down down into Sleights and the campsite at Carrs Lane. We had a choice of pitches so we chose one near to the entrance so …
Iona goes to the Peaks
Trip 8: Lee Meadow, Middleton Lee Meadow is a farm in the Peak District to the north west of Carsington Water. When we arrived there were only three other units on site and the owner told us where the best place was for a motorhome to park. We have an access track on one side …
Iona goes out on a Limb
Trip 4: Driftwood Campsite, Kilnsea, Spurn Head. I rang the site before we left because there were flood warnings for Kilnsea. John said they were normal and although there are high tides we will be OK. The journey took us over the Humber Bridge but it was not as windy as we expected. Our route …
