A Taste:
‘Happy Camping Around Europe’:

Like England, Europe has many medieval castles. France has an abundance of them. There are the abbeys, like Lagrasse, with its medieval village on one side of the river, the abbey on the other; the Cathar castles, so called for being the safe havens against the Catholic oppressors who drove them out, throwing them from the castle walls or burning them in the courtyard with the cry. Let their gods save them. And Carcassonne, another Cathar stronghold. Rebuilt during the last century for the enjoyment of all who visit it.
“I hope my book gives you a taste of what Europe, particularly France, has to offer the fellow campers”.

‘Meandering Around England in a Motorhome’:
Without doubt, our country has some of the most beautiful scenery and best places to visit in Europe. The Yorkshire Dales and moors, Wales, and the stunningly beautiful Scotland amongst them. More and more people are also beginning to realise that one of the best ways to see this beauty is by travelling in a motorhome. There is nothing better than to find a nice spot on Dartmoor and camp up for a few days, with a stream running nearby, the country sounds of sheep, wild deer and cattle grazing feet away, or to book at one of the many hundreds of pretty resorts around the country. All from a self-contained home on wheels, with all facilities onboard! The only problem historically is that a lot of the local councils didn’t want us camping on their patch. Fortunately the tide is turning…..
