A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
Trip 5 , April 2025, Jasmin Camping, Sutton on Sea After quite an easy drive we arrived at Jasmin campsite and we were met by Sian who told us all the details and we picked a site at the end on the row. It turned out they were not expecting us but luckily I had …
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 …
Trip 3: March 2025 Waterloo Farm campsite,Market Harborough, Leics. We checked in and were given a choice of pitches to choose from. We drove around and settled on the pitch I had booked. It appeared to be fairly level so we parked up and the van was 1° off level which is not noticeable so …
Brancaster Harbour Trip 2: March 2025. Deepdale Backpackers Brancaster Staithe, N Norfolk. On the way to Norfolk we stopped at a public weighbridge to check Iona. The weighbridge said we were at 3420kg . I am a bit disappointed, I was hoping we would have a bit more spare payload. We got a ticket for …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
You may or may not have read ours travels to Bridlington this year, in fact last month, but we forgot to tell of our beach combing. We walked along the high tide marks and I found a tennis ball and what I call an extra bouncy ball. Sue found a play mobile figure of a …
Trip 13, August 2024. Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club , Bridlington. We arrived at the campsite after a 2.5hr journey and we managed to get a pitch along the fence. It needed ramps but we got fairly level. We decided just to put up the windbreak, but it was harder than anticipated because the ground was …
