On tour in the Lake District
An Indian summer of lovely sunny weather for the week we stayed up here. First part of the week was spent at Whitbarrow Village and the second part of the week at CMC site at Troutbeck Head looking out towards the beautiful Blencathra. Arriving on Saturday we drove straight to Keswick to complete a walk…

Sinnington, Yorkshire, England
August Bank Holiday staycation in Sinnington where we had planned to hike and cycle. On our arrival on Friday we were greeted with heavy rain but we got set up in record time. We spent the late afternoon planning our next adventures. Saturday saw plans for a 20km hike from our base at cliff farm…

Ayr, Scotland
Our first visit to a Caravan and Motorhome Club site was to Craigie Gardens in Ayr. We crossed the border in rain from Northumberland after a long drive but the weather got brighter as we made our way down the southwest coast. We had a confusing start to our first club site, arriving at the…

Craster, Northumberland, England
We had planned a trip to stay in Kielder Forest before everything shut down, and when we reorganised our plans Kielder was still shut. So we came to Proctor’s Stead https://www.proctorsstead.co.uk/ for a week of fabulous walks and cycling and the wonderful North East coast. A short walk from the campsite into Craster and along…

Longnor, Staffordshire, England
Our first trip after a break in lockdown, meeting Geoff, Jane & Jake for a long weekend at Longnor Wood Caravan Park. We’ve seen pictures of Chrome Hill in Trail magazine and this hill is a little gem. Very shapely and standing prominently in its surroundings, it looks an enticing climb. The views from the…

Sunshine and Snow on Conic Hill
It is so much easier to set off walking in bad weather from a motorhome. Instead of dashing from the car and pulling on waterproofs in the rain, you just step from the door and start walking. And today we had warm sunshine, wind driven snow and everything in between. Conic Hill is only 361m…

Ben Venue
Woke early and, despite trying to prepare everything last night, took ages to eat breakfast and get on the road. The weather forecast for the afternoon was shocking, so we only had a short window to try and get up Ben Venue. The lower sections of the walk along the raging river and through the…

Loch Katrine
Loch Katrine is beautiful – a stunning lake surrounded by snow capped mountains, fringed with woods. We noticed that the car park had designated bays for motorhomes, and what looked like service points too. We walked on the north shore and up above the tree line, and watched as the showers passed and bathed the…

Herdy On Tour: Loch Lomond, Loch Long & Gare Loch
A wet day, we decided to go for drive. Just to see the views. First to Luss, on the shores of Loch Lomond. Practicing manoeuvring in car parks. Remembered to buy two tickets, one for each space Herdy occupied. Visited the pier (wet and windy) and the Coach House coffee shop (dry and tartan). Roads…

Gouk Hill, Loch Lomond, Scotland
Bright and blustery day – so we walked from the camp site along the John Muir Trail to the summit of Gouk Hill with amazing views of Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond and snow covered mountains beyond. Beautiful track up through the forest with the sun shining through the trees. Dozens of trunks scattered like matchsticks…
