August 2019 magazine cover

It seems very odd to me to have regional variations so that you get a magazine detailing things within your own area. We normally travel a minimum of 3 hours from home when we go away in the van. Anything closer than that we have normally already been there and done that and probably by car. We have never understood why anyone would go just down the road unless you are very tight on time. I don't need to learn about things in my own area, I already know.  

Many moons ago I would weekend with wife and kids as well as touring. Not in the last 30 years I suppose and the max travel time then would have had to usually be 1.5 hours I think. 

Very much the same as us ET, when working and now. All of the Peak District is in range within 1.5 hours. I really didn't / don't want to spend time and money traveling further when away for only 3 nights.

Must admit sites further afield are of more interest for me. It does mean local advertisers can hit then target audience though, without wasting money on people hundreds of miles away.

Just thrown out the previous months mag and that had a picture of Blackpool pleasure beach on the front cover

It's their new way of saving money....using one photo all year round so not having to commission a new one every month!! They are trying to recoup some of the useless outlay they spent on the "new" name etc.
