The Caravan Club made an appearance on the BBC One’s Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is this week when a presenter learned about the history of the organisation.

The Caravan Club’s External Communications and Sponsorship Manager, Nikki Nichol, helped BBC presenter James Braxton estimate the worth of a vintage post-war Caravan Club badge and gave him a tour of the first ever custom-built-for-leisure caravan, which had been towed by horses as early as the 1880s.

If you missed the programme and would like to brush-up on your caravanning history here’s a link to the episode.

The Caravan Club segment starts approximately 41 minutes and 45 seconds into the BBC One show.

Ben Fogle warms up for Birmingham with a night out in the woods

Adventurer and TV personality Ben Fogle warmed up around the campfire before his appearance as a celebrity guest at the 2017 Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show, heading towards Birmingham’s NEC from 21 to 26 February.

Mr Fogle together with his dog Storm celebrated the great outdoors with a caravan, a variety of tents and camping gadgets, motorhomes and even a glamping lodge in the woods, as he explained the appeal of such a holiday.

“Some of my best memories as a child are of camping. I remember the first time I was allowed to put up a tent and sleep in the garden, although I think I was back indoors by midnight! I also remember the freedom of taking an incredible motorhome holiday across Canada with my parents. Now, my young children absolutely love such holidays. It’s a great way for family members of all ages to come together and experience something new. Doing something entirely different from everyday life is what makes a great break.

“Everything, from cooking to managing everyday tasks such as fuelling a stove or stocking up on supplies takes on a different perspective. While a caravan or motorhome can be as luxurious as you like, living life simply is a great way to refocus, especially in an era where we generally live with every mod con around us. Without a doubt too, such a holiday will give you stories to tell and memories that stand out.”

Despite having camped in extreme conditions all around the world, from his Castaway TV debut on the Outer Hebrides island of Taransay in 2000, to exploring remote areas of the world in his recent Channel 5 show New Lives in the Wild, Ben advises newcomers to such holidays to start gently, and says the British Isles is one of his favourite holiday destinations.

“Don’t go somewhere too extreme or cut off too many comforts first time out. A motorhome or caravan holiday is comfortable while giving the freedom to roam. Great adventures are on the doorstep and Britain offers amazing destinations: I’m lucky enough to have seen so many beautiful places in the world, but Britain still has some of the most incredible landscapes. I have a special affection for the south west around Devon and Cornwall, but I also love the north. Taking my family to the Hebrides is definitely on my list of destinations.”

Mr Fogle joins other celebrity guests in the Discovery Theatre at February’s show, promoting their love of the great outdoors and the fun of leisure vehicle and camping holidays for all the family. Wildlife presenter Kate Humble, Blue Peter and CBBC presenter Barney Harwood, and TV personality Julia Bradbury are just a few of the celebrities attending. Baking banker Selasi Gbormittah and other celebrity chefs inspire outdoor menus with cooking demonstrations.

This year’s show is an outing for all the family to enjoy with children 15 and under going free. There are also plenty of free, have-a-go activities to try, from challenging the indoor assault course to climbing Visit Wales’ mobile mountain or tunnelling in the artificial caving feature. The much-loved dog agility arena returns as well as many new features for 2017, including the Bounce Zone featuring six-way trampolines and bushcraft workshops from Nature Rockz, where visitors can learn essential survival skills.

Located across five halls of Birmingham’s NEC, the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show has over 350 stands showcasing new products including caravans, motorhomes, campervans, trailer tents, folding campers, tents, caravan holiday homes, camping equipment and thousands of accessories.

A hands-on towing and manoeuvring area offers expert tuition for those new to caravanning and motorhome holidays, as well as those who want to brush up on their techniques. Pre-booked leisure vehicle pitches are available for stays overnight at Birmingham’s NEC during the show.

Cornwall holiday park leads appeal to help disabled twin girl walk

Posted by

by Tom Leaning

Staff and guests at a Cornwall holiday park have joined forces to help an inspirational young girl travel to America for a potentially life-changing operation.

Porth Beach Holiday Park near Newquay has raised over £1,000 towards the cost of sending six-year-old Izzy Pearce for pioneering surgery at St Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri.

Identical twin Izzy lives with cerebral palsy, and is unable to walk properly or stand unaided.

Her parents, Michael and Ursula from St Column Major, learned that a procedure known as selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) could make a profound difference to Izzy’s condition.

However, they also discovered the spinal operation was not available via the NHS, and began fundraising last year to enable Izzy to make the journey.

When Chris and Katy Case, managers of Porth Beach, heard about the parents’ Help Izzy Walk appeal, they kick-started the campaign by making the first donation.

Since then, the park and holiday guests have organised a series of fundraising events which have boosted the total even further.

By October, Michael and Ursula had reached their £86,000 target – and this month (February) Izzy flew out to Missouri for her operation.

“We are absolutely delighted that, between our guests and ourselves, we have managed to raise so much for the Help Izzy Walk campaign,” said Chris Case.

“The family has been close friends of ours for many years, so it’s been an absolute pleasure to help in any way possible.

“The spirit that the local community and beyond have shown to raise such a vast amount of money for Izzy has been incredible,” added Chris.

The parents said they were extremely grateful both to Porth Beach and everyone else who contributed so generously to their appeal which remains open.

All money raised over the target will go towards Izzy’s post-op physiotherapy that she will require over the next few years.

Donations can be made on the Help Izzy Walk Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/helpizzywalk

From rural landscapes to clear waters along the Adriatic and Ionian coastlines, this part of southern Italy feels like a land beyond Europe. The tour, which includes seven excursions and seven distinctive regional meals, covers some 970 miles and offers a real insight into what makes the region unique.

Richard Grimsdale, The Club’s Travel Services Director, said: “Our European tour programme continues to grow and we’re pleased to offer this exciting new tour of Italy in our 2017/18 brochure, which joins existing popular tours of Iceland and the Faroe Islands, Greece and Morocco to name but a few!

Those booking a ferry crossing and an Escorted Tour with the Club receive a discount of up to 10 per cent off the cost of the crossing and a further £25 off the tour price.

Those who don’t own their own unit can take advantage of the Club’s book and go motorhome hire offer. It’s also a great solution for anyone who wishes to tour Europe under their own steam.

The Camping and Caravanning Club (CCC) has announced the results of its tent, caravan and motorhome surveys in the first ever combined Owner Satisfaction Awards, run in partnership with Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome magazines.

Leading names Hi Gear from Go Outdoors, Quechua from Decathlon, Robens, Vango, Karsten and Kampa emerged as brands with the highest satisfaction ratings in the Tent Owner Satisfaction Awards 2017.

Sprite, from UK caravan maker Swift Group, and motorhome converter Bilbo’s from Surrey were also among those manufacturers celebrated by fans of the great outdoors and camping – in all its forms.

Eighteen categories were organised into league tables, with those brands topping the league tables awarded trophies at a prestigious ceremony at The Midland Hotel, Manchester last week, hosted by Club President and TV presenter, Julia Bradbury.

Nearly 5,000 tent, caravan and motorhome owners took part in the surveys, which ran throughout the 2016 camping season and were sponsored by Club Care Insurance.

It’s the second consecutive year that the Club has run the Tent Owner Satisfaction Awards, and for 2016/17 it joined forces with Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome magazines to survey caravan and motorhome owners.

The survey findings provide in-depth information on camping units of all types, bought and used since January 2013, and the results are published by The Camping and Caravanning Club, and by Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome magazines.

Club President and TV presenter Julia Bradbury said: “Potential tent, caravan and motorhome buyers trust the opinions of other owners above anything else. That’s why the results of the Owner Satisfaction Awards are so important. They help fans of camping and caravanning spend their money more smartly, and help manufacturers and retailers improve their products and services.”

Robert Louden MBE, Director General at The Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “The Club is delighted to run these awards, and continue to deliver the kind of authoritative help and advice that our members, and other outdoor enthusiasts, find invaluable.”

Nigel Coppen, Group Business Development Director at Club Care Insurance, said: “We’re delighted to sponsor the combined Tent, Caravan and Motorhome Owner Satisfaction Awards. We at Club Care are passionate about providing campers with peace of mind when they’re relaxing on holiday. The survey findings are compelling and help us to better understand the needs of campers and ensure we shape our products and processes to meet their requirements.”
