A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
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 …
Trip 15: August 2024, Lees Meadow Farm, Middleton We arrived at 12.30 and started to fill up the water. Richard met us and pointed to our pitch and then he said we may be better further up the row. Once the water was filled we headed for the pitch but it was too uneven so …
Trip 13, August 2024. Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club , Bridlington. We arrived at the campsite after a 2.5hr journey and we managed to get a pitch along the fence. It needed ramps but we got fairly level. We decided just to put up the windbreak, but it was harder than anticipated because the ground was …
Trip 12: Ilkley RFC. July 2024 The Pitch The Rugby Club from Iona It is a long drive here and there were several holdups on the way. The final 500 yds crossed the bridge over the river Wharfe, no one wanted to move over for us so I just pushed on. My drivers wing mirror …
Trip 11: Glebe House School,Hunstanton. July 2024 We arrived in Hunstanton around lunchtime. The stewards got a bit rushed because another 3 vans followed us in to Glebe House. We were given a pitch towards the bottom of the field but away from hedges and trees. Now we just need the sun to arrive or …
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 8: Lee Meadow, Middleton Lee Meadow is a farm in the Peak District to the north west of Carsington Water. When we arrived there were only three other units on site and the owner told us where the best place was for a motorhome to park. We have an access track on one side …
Trip 7, Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough We took a different route to Scarborough. As recommended by my brother in law. This took us via the motorways , then around Driffield and a B road up to Scarborough, a three hour journey. The campsite on Oliver’s Mount has plenty of room and we chose a space in …
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 …
