A brief overnight stay at Cambridge CAMC was accompanied by a snowfall overnight. All a bit of a surprise but, after all, it is December.
Why are we British always taken aback by the tiniest amount of snow with inevitable traffic disruption?
I used to live in Canada and we kind of just got on with it!

Most of the CAMC sites in England look set to re-open on July 4th barring unforeseen changes in direction by the government.
I have to say this is really good news of course for the Club and its members and particularly good news for me as I was showing the early signs of going stir crazy in this lockdown. I am well aware there are many people far worse off than I am and I feel for them. But it was all getting a bit difficult for me – possibly because the motorhome sits on the drive glowering at me!

Located on the broads near Wroxham and not far from Great Yarmouth this is a gorgeous site and definitely a holiday destination. The Dog Inn is two hundred yards one way and the broads and a shipyard are two hundred yards the other way. Stacks to do – or just chill out.

As we all know, Brighton is a great town to visit with loads to do and inundated with good restaurants and pubs. The open all year 155 pitch Brighton site is outstanding and so easy to get into Brighton from it. Unsurprisingly this Caravan and Motorhome Club site is kept immaculately and gets a five star rating from the members. Top that off with sunny weather……..

Montreuil sur Mer is about an hour from Calais and is an attractive small town with plenty of bars and bistros and a town rampart you can walk most of the way round. For me, the killer app however is the aire which is no more than two hundred metres from the town square.

A new CL near Alnwick and actually in the Breamish Valley has to be on the bucket list!

Near Ashbourne in Derbyshire and nestled within a pine plantation, this 115 pitch full facility site does it for me. I love the dedicated bespoke pathway down to the reservoir.

Am at Cambridge Cherry Hinton Caravan and Motorhome Club site which is yet another gem on the Club’s network. It’s one of the smaller sites with just 56 pitches and set in an ancient quarry works – with a pub a short walk away.
And preparing for 32 degrees tomorrow!

Set in Forestry Commission woodland, the site has attractive pitches and loads of walking trails. Non-members are welcome; no loo block. It’s a classic “get away from it all” site combined with the exceptional high standard associated with the Club.

Mostly I stay on Caravan and Motorhome Club sites; firstly because I think they are among the best and secondly because of my close links with the Club. But today I am at an independent site in Hinton near Saxmundham, Suffolk.
It is is a full facility site, beautifully maintained and a delight to stay at. Haw Wood Farm
