Trip 10: Pateley Bridge, July ‘24 Our journey to Pateley Bridge took us 3 hours but we managed to miss any big hold ups on the A1, although south bound was a different story. We chose a spot and quickly set up before eating our lunch. After an hour or so of reading we went …
Trip 9: Oak House Stays, Martley. I made a mistake and did not check the sat nav route that loaded. It took us through Worcester that was not planned, and then a road was closed. However the workmen let us through as they were just changing the last of the ‘cats eyes’ and we were …
Trip 6: Weston Farm. Weston on Avon. We arrived at the site, luckily I had looked on Google Earth to see the layout. We drove onto the meadow, there was only one other van so we chose an area alongside a stream which was slightly hidden from the other motorhome. A view from the motorhome …

Trip 16: Avon Bank Meadow, Pershore. The day started badly because as I drove out of the drive and waited for Sue to shut the gates the airbag warning lights came on. They continued to flash and the seat belt light joined in. We left anyway and after we got through Grantham only the airbag …
Trip 11. Craken House Farm,Leyburn. It was an easy drive up the A1. We then headed inland to Leyburn. As we approached a village we met a wide load escort vehicle going quite fast, but there did not seem to be anything following him so we cautiously continued through a village and on a narrow …
Trip 10: Pateley Bridge Showground. Nidderdale , North Yorkshire The journey to Pateley Bridge took just over 3 hours but some of that was a long hold up in Knaresborough with roadworks. After leaving Knaresborough we had 10 miles of narrow roads before reaching Pateley. We had to go down the high street which is …
