Take To the Road and Hire a Caravan for Your Holidays
Ask any Brit the best place for holidays and there'll be a bombardment of destinations from all corners of the globe.
Comparatively few will mention Britain.
Britain has to be one of the most under-rated holiday places by the country's own inhabitants yet it has so much to offer for the domestic and foreign visitor.
It might lack the better climate of places afar but, one of the beauties is that there is an absolute mass of attraction in a pretty small area.
It's easy to navigate and see a lot in a short time and one of the great ways to do this is to hire a caravan and take to the road.
Caravan hire is much maligned yet it has two major advantages over package holidays.
Firstly it offers great convenience.
With a caravan you're the boss, you go where you want, when you want, the only constraint might be where you park up at night.
You can pretty much park anywhere in a lay-by overnight unless it is subject to local by-laws.
Secondly, it's cheap.
In these budget constrained times the option of a caravan touring holiday in Britain is more attractive than it has been for a few decades.
It might not offer the pampering and indulgence of an all inclusive break to the Med but it's a fabulous way to see something of the UK and with modern caravans, you can still enjoy home from home comforts.
There are some practicalities to consider.
Your vehicle needs to be consistent with the size of caravan.
It's no good having a small car and opting for a 6 berth when you organise your caravan hire.
Additionally, It can be a bit nerve wracking for an inexperienced driver to manage a towing caravan but everyone has to learn anything that's new to them (a good dose of bravado will help).
If you're new to caravanning, take a few short journeys before setting off on your tour to get used to handling the car and its new load.
Also, read up on some tips of towing a caravan - some practical advice of road use is going to help.
Once you've packed the van and chosen your destination, you can hit the open roads.
North, South, East and West, beaches, hills, forests, river valleys, moorlands, towns, villages, chalk downs and small islands - it's all within a few hours driving from wherever you live.
You have the bonus of being able to head off on a mystery tour- just going with the flow wherever your fancy takes you each day - with the aid of GPS you shouldn't get lost, or, you can plan an itinerary in meticulous detail.
Planning is good if there are specific places you want to visit on the way to a final destination and is helpful if you are taking a ferry to any of the islands - not because it is always necessary to book a ferry slot in advance but places might be limited in peak summer season and why waste good holiday time waiting for a departure time.
So this year, why not ignore the temptation of a trip across the channel, hire a caravan and explore Britain.
