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.

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

Caravan Spares Box
What seems like many moons ago now, in our camping days with young children, we had a spares bag. In effect, an old school gym bag that stored all the spare bits and pieces we might one day need, but probably never will. Spare guy ropes, puncture repair kits, for the bikes and the air...
