A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
This year we spent 61 nights in the motorhome while away on 16 trips. This year we visited several new to us sites as well as our normal favourite sites. We started off in Norfolk at Deepdale Backpackers, Brancaster. Deepdale Backpackers Mussels at TheJolly Sailors Holkham Beach The first new campsite. White Feather at Badby …
We continued our walk home and we stopped at Willy’s pub and brewery. We just had a half to try their own brew and continued home. It was quite a good beer so we may call in again to try a full pint.
Trip 14, Bilton Park, Harrogate. We arrived at 11.30am and we have a pitch near the Stewards. Unfortunately the sun is in the wrong position or is that us. If we sit outside we are in shade but the weather is not the best today anyway. After lunch we walked towards Harrogate to find the …
A trip to Bakewell, no Bakewell tart but we found the Thornbridge Brewery

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 …
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 …
