Just received my copy of the new edition. It has the usual page (page 26) on Days Out. This time it includes the National Memorial Arboretum. Nearest Club campsites: Uttoxeter and High Onn!!!! Both of theses are, as I understand, closed. Certainly the web page for Uttoxeter says closed for the foreseeable future. High Onn, closed for 2023 and although one reference is to being open until 2025 the site is apparently Full for the whole of next year!
These sites were both closed some time ago, so certainly before the magazine went to print. Doesnt anyone check these things?
The article on winterising your van showed the usual bias towards caravans. A one sentence reference to SOME (my emphasis) motorhomes (surely most) having freshwater and waste water tanks that need to have the "tank drain in the open position"! And absolutely no reference to the engine part of a motorhome and winterisation e.g. chocking wheels and releasing handbrake, taking it for a run every few months. Loved the picture on winterisation, in November, showing a woman washing the van in shorts and vest top!
I really dont know why i bother open the magazine. It just makes me cross. Rant over!
