Ingon Bank camp site is just a couple of miles north of Stratford on Avon. The ground here is excitingly moist – and, as the name suggests, a bit “un-level”. Although it doesn’t look like it in the photo, in…
8. DEER, DEER, DEER!
[pmb_print_buttons] The pitch we had been allocated at Sycamore Farm, Nether Alderley was “pretty damp” and not a little muddy – so we parked on the “carpark” area. As one does! It transpires that we parked almost exactly here last…
7. FROM SCOTLAND TO NORTHALLERTON.
[pmb_print_buttons] Having dropped Glenda off by St Abbs harbour, I parked up the hill. Glenda then discovered that the path to St Abbs Head climbed straight up the hill to where I was parked. Well, exercise is good for her! …

3. NORTHUMBERLAND – WHERE IT (USUALLY) NEVER RAINS!
[pmb_print_buttons] Arriving at Nunnykirk in glorious Northumbrian sunshine and temperatures that are rarely reached this far north, we parked on our favourite pitch. To be fair, there were only a handful of pitches available. So we were really lucky! Awning…
2. PENRITH AND THE NORTHERN LAKES.
[pmb_print_buttons] Having set off on what may well become a seven week tour of the UK, without a single booking was a little daunting! So while driving up the motorway, we called one of our favourite sites near Penrith. They…
1. FIRST TIME IN GREECE? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT!
[pmb_print_buttons] Well, well! Normal pre-holiday disasters have struck again! But they aren’t usually reported on national news and in the Times newspaper! But this is the exception! We took a taxi to Bristol airport (to avoid having three weeks parking…
