Enjoy getting out and about in our motorhome exploring, walking and cycling around the places we visit. We operate the UK Sites Caravan and Campsites.Online (www.uk-sites.com) a directory of caravan and campsites throughout the UK ..... also Smithys Cottage our holiday let based in the Derbyshire Peak District (www.smithyscottage.co.uk).
When at home I spend a lot of my spare time tinkering with my 1975 MGB Roadster (www.mgb.tips) or getting the motorhome ready for it's next trip (www.mymotorhomemods.online) ........ which all keeps me out of trouble.
