Trip 10: Yesterday we drove to Sleaford and filled up with auto-gas and diesel and then went to the Mountain Transport depot to use the public weighbridge. Our previous post tells of how we got on and we have payload to spare. This morning we rang the THS at York RUFC to check if they …
Grafham Water Deliverance
Trip 9: The drive down to Grafham Water was easy and trouble free. We were not allowed on the campsite until 2.00 pm so we went to the car park by the Grafton Water visitor centre, here we had lunch and people watched. At 2.00 pm we headed back to the Shooters Hollow campsite. The …

Iona finds a Secret Garden
With six inches of snow three days before we were due to drive to Wisbech, it was touch and go if this trip would go ahead. The drive to the Secret Garden Site was fine although I had added a way point to the sat nav route to ensure we missed a narrow …
Iona goes to the Races
Our first trip in 2018 is to venture South and East, our destination is Fakenham racecourse. Hopefully the weather will stay snow free, and we have seen the last of the storms that have covered the country in early February. The drive down was fine apart from having to stop at a lay-by to work …
