Caravan Magazine Back to Nature | September 2012 | Caravan Magazine Back Issue

IN THIS 'BACK TO NATURE' ISSUE

Ben H discovers the delights of the New Forest and beyond. He really didn’t want to come back! Our favourite ‘Airstreamist’, Andrew Ditton, heads to Isle of Mull, his spiritual home, and brings back wise words and great photos! Paul Walton takes his family to the super-liberal Dutch capital.
Is that wise we ask? Well, yes, as it happens… Discover the magnificent natural delights of the incredible region around Malham, North Yorkshire or go camping in the Forest at some of the best places to caravan in Britain. Guaranteed.

We head north-east to have a cuppa with Dr David Bellamy and pick his brains on all things camping and caravanning. Following the green theme we suggest six stunning eco sites that won’t cost the Earth.

This month we review our favourite models from the 2013 launches from Sprite, Adria, Lunar, Bailey and Elddis plus a live-in test in two luxury caravans from Bailey that you don't need to tow.

There's advice on loo chemicals, solar power and green towcars. We tackle the thorny question of which is best for caravanners – diesel or petrol? And that's not all! There's a chance to win a superb Witter ZX404 cycle rack worth £460, plus a week at a fantastic Camping in the Forest site worth £300.
