A Brief diary of a Motorhome named 'Iona'
Trip 4: Driftwood Campsite, Kilnsea, Spurn Head. I rang the site before we left because there were flood warnings for Kilnsea. John said they were normal and although there are high tides we will be OK. The journey took us over the Humber Bridge but it was not as windy as we expected. Our route …
Trip 3: March 2024 Willow Lane campsite, Beverley. Another trip over the Humber bridge, this time stopping at Beverley instead of driving past to Bridlington.

Trip 15: Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough. Our trip to Scarborough was fairly straight forward although the road works on the A1 still added 25 minutes onto the journey. The one thing I was worried about was the final part of the trip up onto Oliver’s Mount. The route uses part of the Oliver’s Mount motor racing …
Trip 14: Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club Regatta Field, Bridlington. The drive took us over the Humber Bridge which was quite windy, the journey took about 2.25 hours. Once we had signed in we were shown a pitch which seemed fairly level although we still used the ramps. We set up the Quest and a windbreak …
Trip 13: Stow on the Wold, RFC It took us nearly three hours to get to Stow but we were held up by the Tuesday market traffic jam in Moreton Le Marsh. We are camped on a rugby pitch and we can use the facilities in the rugby club which will also be open in …
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 …
