The Club has a strong presence at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu – a stone’s throw from the ever popular New Forest Black Knowl site – with its records stored, looked after and catalogued. The display booth tells the history of the Club and shows a video of today’s club and what is on offer.

Well worth a visit with dedicated motorhome and caravan parking and electric car charging for those who have moved across to the future!

Turn right out of the Castleton CAMC site and go through the town and out the other side on your way to Chapel-en-le-Frith and there is the exquisite Winnats Pass. Hard to believe that millions of years ago it was under the sea.

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.

I guess we all have our Top Ten Favourite places where we’ve stayed; I certainly do and my holiday in Scotland enabled me to stay at the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s Bunree site near Fort William. It’s certainly in my top ten.

We all have the luxury of having a mix of favourite sites, places, activities, books, films and so on. Writing this blog takes me back to when, in a former life, I did a lot of radio and TV work where you learned pretty quickly you need to have a clear favourite and spit it out without missing a heart beat. At the end of a radio interview I would frequently be asked what my favourite bit of music was to take the programme into the next sector. No opportunity there to diffidently mention a top ten. (For me it was always Mike and the Mechanics “The Living Years”) One hapless MP being interviewed along side me seemed unable to choose her favourite book and the interviewer rather unkindly remarked that if she couldn’t answer a simple question like that there seemed little hope for her career.

When asked for my favourite book back in those rather high octane days I often wondered if as a laugh I might say it was the ACSI Guide to all the aires in France.

The Anchor Inn, Peggs Lane, High Offley, Woodeaves, Stafford ST20 0NG. CAMC number 1414 in the 2019/2020 Sites Directory and Handbook.

Remote, isolated, delightfully old fashioned is how you might describe this pub with CL attached.

One of those special visits which in all honesty requires precious little prose as the photos say it all.

Chatsworth Park must be one of the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s most popular sites and even on a chilly weekend in January it is a total delight.
