Easter Holidays Pt 4- Isle of Skye

Thursday Bluebell the motorhome is parked up next to another motorhome down the end of the beach road at Staffin Bay.

Easter Holidays 2014: Pt 3 Glen Coe to Skye

Tuesday: Bluebell the motorhome is parked up right next to the gorgeous white sands of Arisaig, just off the road from Fort William entitled “The Road to the Isles” – the A380 to Mallaig. Today we left Loch Leven fairly early, as we wanted to get some supplies from the Morrisons at Fort William. After […]

Easter Holidays 2014 Pt2: Loch Lomond- GlenCoe

Saturday Bluebell the Motorhome is parked up in a large viewpoint car park on the side of the A82- on the map it’s called Black Mount. The views are stunning: </a Sunday We drove down the 16 mile long minor road that wound through Glen Etive, finishing in a small carpark on the banks of […]

Feb Half term- The Peak District, Pt 4: Railways and Ales

After a very blustery night (I honestly thought we would blow over at one point!) at our Brit Stop we awoke to a really rainy murky day which thankfully cheered up by the time we were ready to start our 1 mile drive to the Hartington Station car park of the Tissington Trail. Our plan […]

Feb Half term- The Peak District, Pt 3: Railways and Ales

Bluebell the motorhome is parked up at home, having a well earned rest having driven 500 miles over the last week!

Night 3- feb half term, Chipping Campden

We had a lovely lie in this morning- we didn’t wake up until 9:30! All this fresh air and walking is giving us both a healthy glow that’s for sure! We awoke to a frozen water tank again today- but had left taps open all night and the tank off so hopefully we averted any […]

Night 2 – Broadway, Cotswolds

I’m writing this from the same campsite that we stayed at last night, Pinnock Wood Farm just outside of Winchcombe. We had such a lovely evening here last night that we decided to stay again tonight- at £14 a night for a pitch with electric, it’s worth every penny in this weather! It’s glorious during […]
