Morn Hill – Caravan and Motorhome Club Site – Winchester 

*Point to note. This site has been refusing this blog was written. An old favourite of ours for a few reasons. Locality, 23 miles from home and our nearest site. Like a comfy pair of slippers we feel right at home.  The site is split into two levels, with reception on the upper level. Met... Continue Reading →

Low Emission Zones & Road Tolls

You would think the main advantage of a unified Europe would be encouraging standard process across all countries, if you drive a vehicle, forget that idea. If you own one of those horrible 'diesel' vehicles (ie, almost every motorhome or caravan owner) then you better start doing your homework before you venture from these shores. It's...

Caravan Attention and a Special Day

Beautiful sunny skies but still blooming chilly, it's still March though so not too bad. The security gate beeps in the distance and the Volvo rumbles onto site. I didn't think we'd be going away again so soon after the last trip but you never know. With the crunch of gravel it slows to a... Continue Reading →

Let’s get ready to go away

New Forest Centenary Site.

Arriving mid afternoon on a March Monday, there's a nip in the air but the sun is out - just. Ironically the sign leading into the entrance of the Centenary Site was being changed to reflect their new Caravan and Motorhome Club logo and signage (pictured pre-change). The driveway to reception skirts a path to... Continue Reading →

The Old Station Tearooms – Holmsley

What to do on a wet and windy lunchtime staying in a caravan on the Caravan and Motorhome New Forest Centenary Club Site. The plan was to get the tepanyaki out and have the sausage, eggs and bacon sizzling. Without an awning or a canopy we have a lunchtime dilemma. Ordinarily we would have an... Continue Reading →

On yer bike

We describe ourselves as a tandem riding couple, to be truthful, although we have pedalled over 2000 miles of UK and European Tarmac, 'Louis' our tandem, named after the chimp in the PG Tips "can you ride tandem?" advert, has effectively been a clothes horse in the garage this last 12 months.   The reason,...

The Life of a Bailey Pursuit

I sit quietly at the storage yard amongst a multitude of other 'Memory Boxes.' Most used regularly, loved and polished. Other boxes sit amongst us lonely and unloved, desperate for care and attention. My fridge is switched on and filled, blinds opened. Steadies wound up, The Volvo reverses slowly, the hitch lowers and clicks into... Continue Reading →
