Unfortunately, we didn't have the luxury of a camper van, so we either slept in the tow car or under the stars on the trailer. And this in the days when the M6 was still only a dream, so it was all cross country from just after Watford Gap services.

Sorry to be pedantic Mike, but as Mallory Park is in Leicestershire it would have been the (extended in later years) M1 you would have used, and not the M6 which heads off to Birmingham & beyond!
