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 →
Just a two night stop on the Caravan and Motorhome Site, mainly to visit friends. Pulling onto a pitch, not too far from the service point and not too far from the loos. Whilst being out on this trip we are doing what we've observed folk doing all season. Wanting to be near either the... Continue Reading →
"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...

The village of Eyam, Derbyshire, is only five miles from the Chatsworth Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, yet for some reason, does not feature in the leaflet supplied at the site showing twelve places to visit in the area. The story of this village gripped our interest many years ago and we have dragged many... Continue Reading →
We arrived at Beechwood Grange CAMC Site yesterday in the bright, blindingly low winter sunshine. The sun visor had been up and down like a tart's knickers on the trip here. Due to lack of rain over the last few days the roads are drier than they've been for the rest of the trip so... Continue Reading →
The journey from Hawes to Knaresborough is fairly uneventful, but the sub-zero temperatures, icy narrow lanes and small villages remind us that towing a caravan is a great responsibility. Up hill and over dale, round bends, this way and that way, hair raising in morning icy temperatures. Only a short journey today, however, this time... Continue Reading →
After spending all season being frustrated by how many people rely on their Sat-Navs rather than actually research the best route, he has just informed me .... well, I'll let him say it ... "We've balls'ed up". I'm not sure how "we've" came into it, as I'm happily listening to Jeremy Vine and not paying... Continue Reading →
Bit of a one off blog here after a fab day out in and around Hawes whilst staying at the Caravan and Motorhome Club Site.The title, a play on words. Those that know me know that I have many 'Debraisms,' words where I may swap letters around, or simply say them wrong. Faterwalls, Par Cark,... Continue Reading →
Goodbye Wales and back to England. The day is dull, damp and grey. Oh the joys of caravanning in the winter. The roads are kind to us and the traffic flows easily. The roads towards the North West display their industry proudly in the mizzly gloom. Roads become familiar very quickly even though we are... Continue Reading →
After two nights at Broadway its time to bid farewell , pack up and hit the road again. This time we're heading to a site that seems to be loved by lots of people, Lady Margaret's in Chirk. In an area we've been to before, back in another life before caravanning when we toured the... Continue Reading →
