MAY IS SUCH A JOYFUL MONTH, with a bank holiday at either end, it’s ideal for a motorhome tour!
I was just chatting to Niall and Claudia, a couple of my friends on Practical Caravan magazine, about our joint reader rally for 2013. It runs from 3-6 May at Stowford Farm Meadows on Berry Down, not far from Exmoor and the spectacular north coast of Devon. Our host site is always so welcoming and has great facilities. Plus of course we have our own massive marquee in our rally field, which is where a lot of the action takes place!
Are you coming along this year? We were looking through the photos from last time and I thought I’d share some of our favourites. Who knows, you might spot yourself!
The facilities at Stowford Farm Meadows
caravan site cope brilliantly with the several hundred Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan readers
who descend on them for a weekend of entertainment. The site has two
bars, a restaurant, a take-away and a riding stables, plus several
washblocks.
Here are some photos from last time, just as a taster of what’s in store.

cap it off there are some great raffle prizes given out by our

There will be a lot going on but you might just have time to pop into Ilfracombe to try the local specialities…
Spaghetti ice-cream? PCV’s Art Ed Simon was intrigued…
