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 →
Cornwall. Harbours, Pasties and Seagull Poop
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 →
Our Stay at Start Bay
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...

Our Ramblings from Exebridge Lakeside
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 →
The Hurn Lane Leg of our Road Trip.
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 →
Logos and Longleat
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 →
Repairs, Rain and a Rebellious Cat.
Our first outing of the year and, if I’m honest, we are not remotely prepared. Back in September we had a new axle fitted to our Bailey Pursuit. It had been showing signs of dropping for a few years, and the time finally came when we couldn’t ignore it any longer. While it was in... Continue Reading →
Like Going Home
The weather has been cracking the flags for the last few weeks and true to form just as we decide to take the caravan out the forecast turns wet. Luckily, day by day as our arrival date gets closer the good old BBC start to change their predictions, it might not be that bad after... Continue Reading →
Sunsets and Rainbows
Heading into our tenth week here at Burrs Country Park. The season is racing by at a speed of knots that I’m finding hard to keep up with. A lady on site said hello today, she said they’d decided to come to Burrs after following my blog. Then the penny dropped, I need to get... Continue Reading →
Ashridge Farm – Our 2021 Holiday
Falling behind in getting the words out of my fingers into the blog. Lack of caravan time this last couple of years has given me little motivation to write. We’ve been back home now a couple of weeks and it feels like a lifetime ago. Our one and only holiday this year, 4 nights at... Continue Reading →
