A Spot of Camping, Alton Water, Stutton, Suffolk - 1st September 2018
It's time for some more camping in the van, this time at the recently-opened Alton Water campsite, as run - perhaps unexpectedly - by Anglian Water. The site's new as of this year, and so it's mostly a field but with nice new toilets and showers, but the overall location is great with Alton Water being much like a miniature Rutland, including a dam at one end. We even do a similar ride around the lake, with woodland, hills and a couple of pubs - it's just that it's a manageable eight miles around, rather than the 20 or so of a full spin around Rutland Water.
