A quick heads up for the Disabled Motorhome Driver.  Usually the size of our vehicle means that we have to park at the back of the car park where there is more room.  Using those precious Disabled Spaces is a dream that will never come come true……Or will it?

Whilst driving South down the A1 and M1, we were very surprised to find two service areas with Disabled Spaces flexible enough to accommodate our motorhome.

A1 Wetherby

This service area is fairly new.  There are Disabled Spaces across the front of the main building that have bollards restricting their length.

The good news is that there are more spaces in front of the adjacent hotel.  There is a VERY wide pavement which allows us to reverse the motorhome right back but still providing plenty of room behind the ‘van.

For once we can park in a space conveniently close to the entrance but not getting in anyone’s way!

The service area itself was has a couple of Coffee bars  (Costa) and a food area doing the traditional English Breakfast.  There was also a Roll shop, Marks and Spencer and a Newsagent.  It’s not huge but the fry up was good!

M1 Trowell Services

Situated between junctions 25 and 26 on the M1, Nottingham is the closest city to Trowell Services.

For us, this was just a quick loo stop so I was really pleased about the available parking.  The Disabled Parking formed an L shape at the main entrance.  Luckily for us, the way these spaces are positioned created a few ‘longer than usual’ spaces.  There was plenty of room here to park the Motorhome.
