A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
Silverhill Colliery, Teversal, Nottinghamshire. Testing for Gas Silverhill Woods was a mine spoil heap on the site of the former Silverhill colliery which closed in the 1990s. It was subsequently landscaped in 2005 by Nottinghamshire County Council, with tree planting, numerous footpaths, and a viewpoint. It is one of a number of recreation sites in …
Trip 17: Oasis Lakes, North Somercotes, Lincs. This is probably our last trip this year although we did have a trip in November last year. We arrived at the site which consists of a reception area with the toilets and showers. It was looking out onto two of the three lakes. The camping pitches were …
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. …
A trip to Sea Palling in Norfolk.
Trip 12: Royal York Yacht Club, Bridlington. ⛅️ 🌬 Two weeks ago we were in York at the Sports ground where we were able to see Yorkshire take on Northampton and then a couple of days later Lancashire in a county cricket competition. Now keeping to the county we are off to the Royal York …
Trip 10, Glebe House School, Hunstanton,Norfolk We arranged a local trip to Rutland Water where we were just testing the repair to the alternator, which is now back to full working order.

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 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 4: Bedale caravan and Camping Park Bedale Temporary Holiday Site This trip sees Iona head north to the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and the town of Bedale with its cobbled street. Our journey took 4 hours, an hour and a bit longer than planned because the A1M was closed and the short detour …
