Travels with Fufu, our motorhome
Leaving the site at Clapham, and not wanting just to return home straight away, we decided to visit the small market town of Settle. Every weekend, the town is a Mecca for bikers and cyclists, who traditionally have visited the "Ye Old Naked Man Cafe" on the high street. It is a pictureque town with …
24th July 2021 After a full set of new shoes (tyres), Fufu has taken us to Clapham. Although, the village of Clapham is in North Yorkshire, our camping ground is actually in Lancashire, in the Forest of Bowland, on the other side of the A65. The site is a temporary one, organised by the Camping …
On our way back home from the Llyn Peninsula, we decided to break the journey in a couple of places, Caernarfon and Plas Newydd on Anglesey. Caernarfon The town of Caernarfon is a World Heritage Site and was originally contained within high fortification walls and a large and impressive castle at its heart. Built by …
Fri/Sat: Aberdaron Aberdaron Village Centre Aberdaron is at the very end of the Llyn Peninsula, which is just south of Anglesey in north Wales, sticking-out well into the Irish Sea.

When we left Fufu, the weather was …
We have taken Fufu for a stay on the car park of the Helwith Bridge Inn, North of Settle, at Horton in Ribblesdale. The Helwith Bridge Inn On the way there, we called in at the Craven Lime Works, which is the site of a number of derelict lime kilns, including a huge Hoffmann kiln …
After saying “Tara-a-bit” to Jeeves and Michelle, we decided to visit Beverley on our way home after leaving Flamborough. It was a good choice as Beverley is a very pleasant market town, with a very impressive minster at its heart. The Town Square We parked Fufu on the School Lane long-stay car and coach park …
We had loved our visit to Flamborough on our Yorkshire Coast trip in April of this year, but Jeeves and Michelle did not meet-up with us until we had moved on to Scarborough. When he learned about our experiences at Flamborough, Jeeves expressed his desire to visit and tick off his bucket-list item of seeing …
The journey to North Wales took about an hour longer than it should have done. Not surprising really as it was the start of the bank holiday weekend, so I suppose it could have been worse. The Holland Arms We had arranged to stay on a pub carpark for a couple of nights, which worked …
