We travel about in a Auto-Sleepers Winchcombe motorhome, which we use for relaxation and, when the night is right, remote astrophotography. Unfortunately, too many people keep buying Astro gear, so it’s always cloudy, but when it’s not, we can get some marvelous images of deep sky objects to share with you.

It's spot on for something the size of a Tramper or Breeze S4/S3 and so on - big machines. Armitages, though, do a double scoot trailer - in fact they can make to measure, as well, although I'm not sure of the lead times...

We're awaiting Merc signing off on the front strut assembly (I think it's called) alongside VB Air, so may have a wee while to wait yet, but, for sure, it's happening. I've got some thoughts on the matter which will be proven or disproven once the job is done. If I'm right, it'll be game changing.

We stayed here in March and it was a really nice site, the staff could not have been more helpful and the surroundings are great. It was our first time on metred electric and being a chilly March weekend I expected to use a lot with the heating on all the time. But we used about £15 over the three nights. About a week after I got home they emailed me and offered me a partial refund (in vouchers) because they realised their electric rates had gone down before we stayed there which I thought was a nice gesture.

We visited Red Kite in 2021, absolutely loved it, we agree it is the best kept site ever. We loved the view down the valley and seeing the kites wheeling above. The walk down into town fairly easy, the journey back up quite challenging. The metered electric is new since then, but would be totally happy with their system. It’s only people who abuse unmetered power that are unhappy with meters.
