July 2022 Magazine

Half way through ? and other half is adverts so you have read it

Received July’s magazine today, 14 July 22

Same here; yet our nextdoor neighbours got theirs the week before last, their surname begins with the letter before ours, so it's a mystery to me in what order they're sent out.

Takes me all of 5 minutes to 'read' it - then it goes on the pile which we give to a relative of a friend who has recently bought a caravan. Don't think they are members yet - I wonder why

Ours arrived this week. Haven't had time to look at it yet although the photo on the front is a familiar area. Ref the absence of leaflets I've noticed this with other publications too.

August edition just arrived and only the 1 leaflet from National trust.

Interesting to note that Carlisle seems to have been annexed by the North East as the club has included it in their "tour of the North east".

Wonder how the local inhabitants feel about that.

You would have thought that they would have included the Barnard Castle site in the list instead of Englethwaite,  but I guess the article was written by someone who lives South of Milton Keynes, ( or should that be the Watford Gap?) and to them the North is a mystery, never to be explored except on paper.

The current issue must have been paid for by Adria, what I imagine is their entire brochure was in the middle 🤓

They did a similar thing a few years ago when they extoled the virtues of the Peak District. For places to visit they suggested Bury Market (30 miles from the centre of the Peak District and Chester Zoo, over 40 miles. Neither of these are anywhere near the Peak District. Obvious places to visit within the area were totally omitted.

The geographic knowledge of Britain of many people (and dare I say the younger generation) is woefully poor in my opinion. I would have thought this knowledge would have been a prerequisite for anyone writing a 'touring' article for a caravanning magazine. Personally I blame sat navs to a great degree. My niece has just gone on holiday to North Wales. When I asked which way she was going she said she had no idea. "I'll just follow the sat nav". The offer of a road atlas was declined.

I have to own up to doing the same thing. 😳 but I do own several proper paper road atlases.

Nice to know that I live in the Peak District though 🤣
