An early start today with the motorhome having a habitation check in Barnsley for 8am.
Truly awful weather for July, with heavy rain / drizzle and lots of spray on the M1, but we made it on time.
We called at Newmiller Dam to pass the time while the checks were being carried out.
Very wet here but the free! car park was amazingly busy, especially later on.
