Practical Caravan

Cool WINTER FUN

THE AUTUMN MAY be fading as winter approaches, but there is still loads of fun to be had and great things to do, so don’t pack your caravan away just yet!

Colder nights and frosty mornings mean much more than defrosting the car and icy pavements - they also mean watching your spiralling breath on a countryside walk and spotting a delicate spider’s web outlined in sparkling frost, having a snowball fight and perhaps even dancing in the rain.

Avoid the heat and crowds of summer, swap the sunglasses for a woolly hat and step out into a winter wonderland.

Never did hot chocolate (or hot toddy?) taste so good! And don’t forget all of those low-season special offers and bargains to be had at campsites across the country.

A winter wildlife walk

If you prefer to be on the move, how about a woodland wander to spot some of the country’s more elusive wildlife?

Red squirrels will be easier to observe as they scurry around the leafless trees looking for food, and grey squirrels are going to be pairing up, ready to mate.
