Salisbury Hillside CAMC site is somewhere we’ve visited before. Way back in 2017, I noted in my review that we paid the princely sum of £20 a night for a pitch. Nine years later, it’s costing us… considerably more. Let’s just say inflation has been working harder than the campsite has. Apart from rising utility... Continue Reading →
Moving on from Looe after a big storm had made the air feel fresher, fresher, not cooler, we were still dripping with sweat as the three of us sought shade and the blessed air conditioning of the car while departing Looe CAMC Site. The drive was uneventful. In fact, we even had to pull into... Continue Reading →
Packed up in record-breaking time, I think the arrival of the heatwave spurred us on a little. The drive in, with the air con blasting, was very welcome as the car dashboard proudly displayed 31°C before lunchtime. Arriving on site, we’re waved through by a warden brandishing a clipboard. There’s a steady stream of arrivals... Continue Reading →
The approach to site was interesting, we should have realised this when the satnav predicted the final 8 miles were going to take 30 minutes. Countless pinch points throughout villages and the occasional blind corner. The Boss didn’t mind too much but remarked that today’s drivers take no pride in skilful anticipation and much prefer...

Setting up in stifling heat gets you just as wet as setting up in the rain. First impressions of this site are really good. We receive a lovely welcome from the warden who, it turns out, apparently lived just a few doors away from us, albeit 40 years ago. The site has a gate at... Continue Reading →
Waking to rain on a day when you have to pack up is never a good start. Fortunately, we took the canopy down the night before, so at least we didn’t have to transport it soaking wet. Not only was it wet, it was cold too. It was that proper wet rain, the kind that... Continue Reading →
The next trip is planned. Unlike our spontaneous trips to Europe, where we just plan the first night and then wing it, this year we’re staying in the UK, so everything has had to be booked in advance. Apparently, this is what responsible adults do. I can’t say I’m entirely comfortable with it. Now all... Continue Reading →
The rest of our stay passed in a blur of bike rides, tea stops, and an alarming amount of time spent catering to a small, furry dictator named Oscar. Oscar, for his part, has taken to caravanning like he’s been secretly doing it behind our backs for years. Honestly, if he could talk, I’m fairly... Continue Reading →
After the best night’s sleep, I wake to the kettle boiling and the unmistakable sound of the cat throwing up… on my seat. Fortunately, our seats are covered with throws, so it’s easily sorted… by Steve. I’m still in bed. Every time I get into the caravan bed, I forget how comfy it is. You... Continue Reading →
A lie-in is always a good idea on the day you go away, if you can. What followed was a flurry of manic energy, doors opening and closing, bags being flung about, and a last-minute decision to hoist the tandem onto the car roof. We hadn’t planned to take it, but on this surprisingly mild... Continue Reading →
