The majority of the trip to Little Walden was on dual carriageway from A1 to M11 and then across country to Safron Walden. The site is basically a field by some ponds and on a slope. Luckily it is not very busy and we were offered a fairly level pitch which worked out well for …
Iona goes to Rutland
Trip 8: Lyndon Top, Rutland Water Lyndon Top is fairly local to home. It is only 30 miles away and most of the journey is on the A1. The site is set in 117 acres of grassland overlooking Rutland Water, a man made Reservoir. You can cycle or walk around the reservoir, we did it …
Iona goes to the Avon
Trip 7: Evesham RFC with the Central Area BCC. The drive down took us just under three hours with a stop to top up the auto gas. We were soon set up although I had to ask our neighbour to move his vehicle so I could get the wind break up. He groaned a bit …

Preparing for the 2019 Motorhome Season
Happy New Year. The new year has arrived. Iona is sitting on the drive waiting for the next trip. Our final trip of 2018 was using her as a bedroom on our son’s driveway while we spent a couple of nights with them over Christmas. Halfway through January and withdrawal symptoms are beginning to develop. …
Iona goes by the river
We decided to have another three night break in North Lincolnshire, this would be ideal for our friend to join us but as it happened they had just returned from a five week trip and could not find the time to join us before Christmas. Our destination was Burton upon Stather just north-west of Scunthorpe. …
Iona heads 20 miles South
Trip 16, Pickering, North York Moors part 2. We left Whitby and headed across the moors to Pickering. Driving up and down some of the hills was interesting. Pickering was busy but we easily found our way to the new campsite. It is more of a lawn than a field and surrounded by trees and …
