THIS MONTH WE CHAT… BRILLIANT CYCLE TRAILS // TOURING TRAINING COURSES
Your article on winter lay-ups (issue 434) advises using a draindown kit to eliminate water from your caravan’s system during cold weather, but I have an alternative.
I suggest that you drain down the water and leave the drain tap open. Then, shut off the kitchen sink and washroom taps and remove the shower head. With the shower tap open, blow down the shower hose. You will soon blow out the residual water and you will feel when you are just blowing air out and the water system is empty. Easy – and free!

EXPLORING QUINTESSENTIAL ENGLAND ON TWO WHEELS
For many of us, our love of touring also gives access to other hobbies, and chief among these is cycling. For caravanners, it means being able to leave your tow car on site and explore narrow country lanes and built-up urban streets, without worrying about your vehicle’s paintwork or wondering where you will be able to park. Away from made-up roads, cyclists can take to bridleways and byways that go deep into the countryside, and in the case of a new route developed by the charity Cycling UK, deep into history, as well.
