A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
Trip 7: Barn Farm, Scalfold, Melton Mowbray Looking forward to this three night break mainly because the boiler was repaired yesterday and this will be a working test before our next trip north.

Trip 6: Bourton on the Water FC, July 27th 2021 I visited Bourton in the 1970s when there was a National Model Flying Championship at RAF Little Rissington. I remember the bridges over the river but that is all, so I am looking forward to our visit. This is also the first trip with two …

Trip 1. Deepdale Backpackers Park, Brancaster. There is a storm rolling in that will have very high winds and it looks like we will still catch the end of it as we drive to Norfolk. We left home at 10.30am and headed towards Kings Lynn and then turned left towards Cromer on the North Norfolk …
