2008 was a record year for UK site bookings for The Caravan Club, and advanced bookings for the 2009 season are up by 40% on the previous year. A massive 50,623 bookings were made in five days alone during December with Club members planning and booking their holidays for 2009.

Nearly 55,000 households joined The Club in 2008 and 1,311 families joined in December alone. The Club represents the interests of one million caravanners, motor caravanners and trailer tenters.

The Caravan Club offers a choice of some 3,000 destinations UK-wide and people are making the most of this choice and ensuring their bookings are already made for the 2009 holiday season.

Quarterly travel and tourism figures released by the Office of National Statistics show that the number of visits abroad by UK residents was down by 6% for the three month period between August and October 2008 compared with the previous quarter; and in a recent survey by VisitBritain, the majority said they would consider British holidays.

Caravanning is the most popular paid-for holiday option, with a 19% share of the market – second only to staying with friends and family. Although the UK offers many different options for those wishing to holiday here, records show that in the previous 12 months, sales of caravans and camping accessories have reached levels never achieved before. An annual 10% increase in membership applications for The Caravan Club at October’s International Caravan & Motorhome Show 2008 at the NEC is indication that, despite fears of national recession, the UK’s domestic touring and caravanning industry is in great shape.

One of the best cheap holidays you can find in the United Kingdom is a camping vacation, and there’s little wonder why – it’s affordable, it’s easy, and it can be done in your local area or as far a field as you like.  Camping is a great way to introduce young children to outdoor activities such as starting and maintaining a camp-fire, collecting firewood, pitching a tent, cooking without electricity, and even how to identify wild foods which are safe for consumption.  Camping is also a brilliant way to spend time with one another away from the distractions of television, computers and game consoles – rather than watching TV, you and your family can play a game of cards, tell ghost stories or make sweet melted creations in the coals of the camp fire.  During the day you can explore the local area on foot or if you’re nearby water you can fish, swim or go for a sail or boat ride.  All this at minimal cost!

Another great way to spend your holiday time is by challenging yourself to reach new heights of achievement.  This may mean simply getting a bit more exercise in an enjoyable way, such as going for a walk through the forest or along the shore.  It may mean finding a mountain to climb, or a challenging hiking path to explore.  You may want to try sailing, or to practice your swimming skills, or even to have a go at abseiling or rock climbing!  One of the most popular outdoor activities to partake in within the United Kingdom is golf – and of course there are a number of multi-award winning golf courses spread all over the countryside which are ideal for such a hobby.  There are so many different activities you can try whilst holidaying in the great outdoors which would simply be impossible to do whilst cooped up in the city.  The best part about such activities is that you don’t necessarily have to camp-out in order do them – you can in fact stay in the comfort of a luxury hotel, providing it’s within striking distance to the outdoor location you’re planning to visit.

Britz is expanding its fleet of campervans, 4WDs, motorbikes and cars with the launch of its sensational new campervan, the Britz Escape, available for travel from 22 September, 2008.

The Britz Escape is the first campervan on the market designed specifically to sleep five people – in two double beds and one single bed – providing the perfect get away for the average family.

Built on the state of the art Mercedes 515, this full automatic vehicle features world class design and outstanding technology with a focus on bringing the family together. The vehicle boasts a front dinette, so passengers are closer to the driver for all the fun of family sing-alongs and car games, while safety is paramount with features to fit two baby or booster seats.

The Britz Escape showcases a range of unique design features, not available in any other Britz vehicle, such as an external storage locker for outdoor camping equipment and a fixed awning.

The single bed located at the back of the Britz Escape ensures more living space and comfort while the vehicle also features every family’s must-have for keeping children happy on the road – a TV and DVD player.

The Britz Escape comes equipped with all the standard Britz mod cons, from a fridge and freezer, microwave, gas stove, shower, toilet, air conditioning and heating, to a fresh water tank, gas bottle, power steering and a radio/CD player.
