We said goodbye to the Motorhome Chit Chats in the rain, wound the legs up and ventured towards our last stop of our winter break, Henley Four Oaks Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. Dodging the rain drops we make it to site in good time and a break in the rain clouds. We are informed... Continue Reading →
Cambridge – Cherry Hinton
Leaving Ferry Meadows Caravan and Motorhome Club Site early did come with one downside, we had planned to refuel the car. '80 miles remaining' the dashboard informed us, down to 75 by the barrier, 65 by the road and 'so on' until it settled at 40 by the A1. The Volvo computer had sussed it... Continue Reading →
Chatsworth – A Deer Do
"Is that Spire twisted" I ask as we drive through Chesterfield towards the Chatsworth Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. "It is", he says smuggly, "It's why the football team are nicknamed the Spireites". Surely this defect should have been fixed at the 'snagging' stage. We are keen to see the site, it is busy all...

A New Job and The Caravan Joins Us
Summer 2017. A quick twenty minute process on the PC, the finger hovers momentarily, then, we hit the 'send' button. Twenty years ago, balmy summer evenings sat outside our frame tents, or on the cooler evenings in a tent, in various parts of the UK with our oldest and dearest friends, Mags and Oniss. Kids...

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 →
Camping Fossalta, Lake Garda, Italy
After driving through a biblical storm on the Brenner Pass we arrive at Camping Fossalta in Lazise. As we enter the site the clouds part revealing clear blue skies. A man meets us at the car and sends us on a walk to find a pitch. Armed with a map off we go. The site is on... Continue Reading →
Camping Erlebnis Zugspitze, Germany
Turned up on a beautiful sunny afternoon. I'm sure sunshine makes everything look amazing. Had we turned up in the rain I might not have been so thrilled. Reception is a lovely building adorned with caravan items from quite expensive BBQs to blue and pink loo and oozing with leaflets for things to do in... Continue Reading →
