MUKER TO KISDON HILL

The weather forecast promised us sunshine and clear skies all day today, so – perfect conditions for a walk out. It being Easter Sunday, I would have expected there to be a lot of people out and about, yet we saw a surprisingly small number of fellow walkers. Our target today was a 6-mile circular walk starting and finishing in...

OUR FIRST CL and THE BANNISDALE HORSESHOE

We recently joined the Caravan and Motorhome Club. Several years ago, when we had our first campervan, we joined the other one (Caravan and Camping Club), but didn’t renew our membership after the first year because we never made use of any of their sites. This time around, however, what with things as they currently are, and needing to keep...
