Just a thought………

It may be worth investing a few pounds and purchasing some of the great guide books that are out there.

Despite so much information being online, it is still nice to sit down with a coffee (or something stronger) and thumb through the books sharing what you see and not worrying about a poor signal or data usage.

A couple of examples are the AA Caravan & Camping Guide and the Alan Rogers Selected Sites in Europe (which includes a UK & Ireland section), both of which are now on their 53rd editions.

Sites are inspected every year and with a huge amount of experience dating back to the 1960s you will find a whole host of information contained in both of the 2021 editions.

The highly informative Alan Rogers Guide even has QR codes on every page taking you direct to the individual sites web pages.

You will find more details about these Guides HERE

Then there are the National Club Guides.

If you are members, then you will by now have received your copies of

• The Caravan & Motorhome Club’s 2021/22 Sites Directory and Handbook
• The Camping and Caravanning Club’s SiteSeeker 2021/22
• The Motor Caravanners Club Handbook & Sites Guide 2021

For what you get in these books it is well worth the membership fee even if you don’t participate with any other Club activities.

The Shows

All the best laid plan have had to be changed, but the good news is that come the Spring and running through until October there will be a full programme of Motorhome, Caravan and Campervan Shows on during 2021.

This year’s Events now begin with the New Forest Caravan & Motorhome Show running 21st-23rd May with camping there available from Monday 17th. You can book 7 nights for just £100

Many dates have had to be moved, but keep a regular eye on our Comprehensive Showgoer Guide which we update almost daily.

The Showgoer Guide is HERE

Even if you are not particularly interested in looking at the selection of new or used ‘vans at the shows, there is always plenty of accessories to look at and usually good evening entertainment as well.

Plus, if you can’t get booked on a campsite these are a good cost effective alternative.
