A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
Trip 13 , September 2025, Keith's Farm, Sea Palling Norfolk Keith’s farm is right on the coast at Sea Palling. The site has flat fields and basic facilities. We were soon set up although it turned out too windy to put the wind break up today. We left the site and took the middle option …
Trip 12 ,August 2025, Royal York Yacht Club,Bridlington The drive took three hours today but it would have been a lot longer if we had not overtaken two wide loads with police escorts. They were going to Immingham so we could have been behind them for 50 miles. We got a great pitch in the …
Trip 9, July 2025, Cracken House Farm, Leyburn. It took us just under 3hrs to get here. The two lots of roadworks and a broken down lorry set us back 30 minutes. The stewards are great and we got a pitch with a scenic view which was pretty flat. We decided to put up just …
Trip 6: May 2025. Mr Moo’s Ice Cream Parlour, Skipsea,Yorkshire One long drive and we are at Mr Moo’s . There are several camping fields from fully serviced with showers etc to a basic rally field, that is where we are wild camping. There are not many here and in the first field where we …
Trip 5 , April 2025, Jasmin Camping, Sutton on Sea After quite an easy drive we arrived at Jasmin campsite and we were met by Sian who told us all the details and we picked a site at the end on the row. It turned out they were not expecting us but luckily I had …
Trip 4: April 2025, Kilnsea,Spurn Head. It took us 2.5 hours to get to Kilnsea including a quick rest break. We were soon set up although I do wish we had a windbreak with us for a bit more privacy. We walked to the coast and passed the pub and out onto Spurn. The idea …
Brancaster Harbour Trip 2: March 2025. Deepdale Backpackers Brancaster Staithe, N Norfolk. On the way to Norfolk we stopped at a public weighbridge to check Iona. The weighbridge said we were at 3420kg . I am a bit disappointed, I was hoping we would have a bit more spare payload. We got a ticket for …
Trip 1: February 2025 Cotgrave, Nottingham. Day 1: We arrived with a few minutes to spare before we were shown to a pitch. Apparently they are busy so we have been allocated what must be the smallest pitch on the site. It is about 9m long but only 3m wide and our van is 2.5 …
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 …
