Bailey Adamo 75-4i Our Trip to Suffolk via Scotland
BAILEY ADAMO 75-4I Our Trip To Suffolk Via Scotland
We were only planning on a weekend Caravan Rally in Suffolk, we thought we could extend it a little, and you know how it goes. Only one short visit to Scotland this year and we booked a lovely looking site by the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, at Luss. Only a couple of hundred miles more there and back, via the Lake District and Northumbria.
When we found
out that a Bailey Adamo 75-4i was available for a three-week loan, with an
island bed, automatic gearbox, automatic headlights and of course, the
essential automatic windscreen wipers, it was the perfect tour for a YouTube
Review. We had never slept in an island bed motorhome either, so we thought
that would be interesting.
Our first stop was the idyllic Dockray Meadows in the Western Lake District, a Caravan and Motorhome Club Site with no shower or toilet facilities. Such a great site to stop and just enjoy the quiet and the scenery.
We took the Adamo on a drive the following day, to Workington, parked up by the harbour at the beginning of the Coast-to-Coast Cycle route, and watched a giant drilling platform sail into the harbour.
The following day, a drive down the windy B5289 tool us to the wonderful Buttermere, peaceful waters and one of the great walks in the Lake District, 'the lake by the dairy pastures’.
So, our short visit to Scotland was over, we were moving south again, or rather east, onto Berwick Seaview Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, at the most northerly town in England. Berwick had a history of changing hands between England and Scotland and unsurprisingly, has some very impressive walls to explore. The site is in a village called Spital, which has its own promenade and beach, much appreciated by the dogs.
We could not visit Northumbria without seeing the Holy Island, so tide timetables checked, we drove across the tidal causeway onto Lindisfarne. Home to one of the most important centres of early English Christianity. Irish monks settled in AD 635 and it became the centre of a major saint’s cult celebrating its bishop, Cuthbert. A favourite place to visit for the Vikings, also.
We made our way home via Ashwell, Ashridge Farm Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, to meet up with more friends, Alison, Dave and Marion.
A very
enjoyable tour with a little of everything. Thanks to Bailey for the loan, and
