Sent to Coventry (for an Awning)

Arrived on site at Makins Fishery near Nuneaton, just as the heavens opened with biblical force. Pitched up very quickly, nose on to a beautiful fishing lake. Beautiful even in a downpour. The rain continued throughout the day and into the evening. Noah, a fisherman down on the banks started playing with wood as wild... Continue Reading →

Makins Fishery Campsite, Wovey, Warwickshire review 

Makins Fishery Campsite is situated next to the M69 in Warwickshire. Traffic noise from the motorway is very audible but the beauty of the site and lakes more than makes up for it. Within a couple of hours we are used to the distant rumble and hardly seem to notice it. Makins is predominantly a... Continue Reading →

Slinfold Caravan and Motorhome Club site review

Located on a former railway line on the Downs Link in the beautiful village of Slinfold, makes this site perfect for walking or cycling. Located at the end of a narrow lane it is recommended to arrive after their 12pm arrival time as you wouldn't want to meet another unit coming the other way.  Slinfold... Continue Reading →

Old Barn Farm, Liphook, Hampshire – site review 

Old Barn Farm is situated in Liphook, Hampshire just a mile from the A3. Making it perfect for heading towards Guildford, London or south towards Portsmouth. Liphook has a train station if you wanted to venture further afield without the car. Half a mile from the site and busier roads turn in narrow country lanes.... Continue Reading →

Kia-Ora Nursery Campsite, Chichester, West Sussex 

This site was recommended to us by a fellow Facebook caravanner. Always on the look out for local sites for our midweek trips, this one fit into our 'less than an hour and a half away from home' requirement.  Booking is recommended as this site is very popular and only has 10 pitches. The entrance... Continue Reading →

Harvest … I got twenty acres, an’ you got forty-three 

The opportunity of an extra day in the caravan is one not to be missed. The Boss has finished his shift at 10am and is ready to go, but the weather is rotten and I'm struggling to summon motivation. As he sulks looking at the floor his phone rings, can he do another shift starting... Continue Reading →

The New Bailey Unicorn – Launch Event

Having been invited across to Swindon for the Bailey of Bristol 4th generation Unicorn launch we are heading on a mixture of motorway and countryside roads. I silently curse myself as the sky gets greyer and greyer the nearer we get.  Always a lover of looking inside different caravans,  I'm excited by today. I'm more... Continue Reading →

50 for 50 – Our European Tour Summary

We've been home just over a month  now and it's time to reflect on what was the trip of a lifetime. The caravan has been cleaned inside and out ready for its next trip, washing done and we're back at work, back to the daily grind. Our 50 days for our 50th was the best... Continue Reading →

Salisbury Hillside Caravan and Motorhome Club Site Review 

This site is set in the countryside, in Wiltshire, designated as an 'Area of outstanding beauty.' A small site with only 50 pitches. A mix of grass and hard standing with a few pitches having open aspect views whilst most are tucked away in woodland. For those who don't like uniform rows of pitches this... Continue Reading →

Let it Rain … Wait, is that a leak?

After the longest, hottest driest few weeks I can remember, rain is forecast. The rain won't stop us but it might speed us up. With rain forecast for 2pm the race is on to hitch up, hit the road, pitch up, get the canopy up and chairs out before the first drops fall. We manage... Continue Reading →
