Well, Sunday is our penultimate day at Newton Grove. Have to say we have had a wonderful stay at this site and a full 7 days off-grid. I’ll post another entry in the Caravan blog to summarise how we got on with the off-grid elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think this is the nicest part of the Cotswolds. Very unspoilt and not one of the tourist honey pots like Bourton-on-the-Water. There are loads of lovely walks and an endless array of Cotswold stone pubs in which to while away the odd hour or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The off-grid stay has been a fraction of the price of staying on a Caravan and Motorhome club site and the remarkable thing is we probably enjoyed it more. No row upon row of endless white boxes each marking out their own bit of territory. We had a large 1 acre site (I’m guessing), with neighbours some considerable distance away. The situation is idyllic and the guy who runs it, John, a great host. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that but Newton Grove has a trailer mounted solar unit from which you can replenish your battery and charge the laptop or toothbrush – but not supply the van… We also made use of the on-site picnic tables and on one evening, the Chimenea<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve already signed up to the Caravan and Motorhome Off-Grid Group which has a plethora of information about how to survive off-grid and where to find the best sites. it turns out that the one of the two guys who set this up is John, from Newton Grove and the group has 20k members. This site will be hard to beat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today (Monday) we head off to another town in the Cotswolds, just an hours drive away…<\/p>\n\n\n
