Research has proven that people who go camping or caravanning are happier, healthier and less stressed that those who don’t – and now a new competition has been launched to celebrate the fact.

With a new season on the horizon, The Camping and Caravanning Club today (February 7th) unveiled its new ‘Real Richness – The Awards’ scheme.

With the Club committed to making sure people are rich in spirit and health, they’ve coined the awards ‘Real Richness’ as a reminder of what we love about the great outdoors.

As part of the awards, members and non-members of the Club alike are being invited to post their favourite camping and caravanning stories online for the chance to win some great prizes.

Director General at the Club Robert Louden said: “At The Camping and Caravanning Club, we learned a long time ago that being rich isn’t only about money and have always advocated the richness money can’t buy.

“We’re therefore delighted to be able to reward our campers, with help from some of the industry’s leading experts, and we look forward to hearing about their real richness camping moments.”

With four categories to choose from, there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to get involved by posting a photograph with an accompanying caption and with the closing date on September 7th there is no excuse not to have a go.

The Real Richness competition starts on February 13th with the support of Elddis, Hi-Tec, Vango and Outwell. The website for entries can be found at www.realrichnesstheawards.co.uk.
