On the same trip we moved on from Bury (leaving our friends behind) to go to Bucks farm near Halesworth. Whilst in this area we paid a visit to Carole and Ian Reeve.

Trips during 2026

Went near Sandy's abode in January - Cholsey Grange campsite near High Wycombe

We are drinking one of the Xmas presents from Sandy to Linda.

There was electric hook up - the hats are because we had only just arrived back to the caravan.

On this occasion the amount of electricity that we used was spot on the quota for what was included.

Caravan pitched at location 51 deg 38' 17.80" N, 0 deg 54' 27.55" W

It is claimed that this campsite has a good strong free Wi-Fi service.

Approaching Ibstone from the M40 go past the village green on your right, turn in at the red postbox on the left.

-------------------------------------------------------

Went to Market Rasen end March - begin April with Mark and Linda

Osgodby near Market Rasen. Ladies Day at the races. Beechcroft campsite on Top Road.

-------------------------------------------------------

Duffryn Farm in Shropshire close to Wales

-------------------------------------------------------

On return from Shropshire we stopped a night at Mooredge Farm CL site. In nearby Crich we got some superb fish & chips.

4th June at 10:33hrs

We only stayed here one night so this picture must have been in the morning as we were packing to leave.

The inner pane of the window collapsed into pieces in Shropshire. Therefore we had no window fasteners in use. Guy ropes, carbine clips and Gaffa tape came in handy.

-------------------------------------------------------

Trip to Cotswolds 21-28 June 2026. Stayed at Longbrook Barn Farm campsite at Cold Aston, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL54 3BN.

24th June 2026 10:47hrs

This trip did not start well because Andrew forgot to pack the pump for the AquaRoll. Getting a new pump was the easy part but finding some hoses of the right bore was another story.

It was very hot this week in the Cotswolds. We had Pepper with us but could only walk her in the evenings.

This pitch is on the planet at 51 deg 52' 41.42" N, 1 deg 48' 55.46" W

6-10 July 2026 camped near York at Willow Park campsite. The worst campsite we have been to in England. Annette and Steve were camped at a different place on the same campsite.
