Holidays in the UK are getting more and more popular each year and 2008 is going to be no exception. With the Pound (£) being very weak against the Euro (€) - today the exchange rate is €1.27891 = £1 whereas this time last last year it was more like €1.4. This has caused many people to decide to explore the UK, instead of heading off to Europe,  but there are more reasons to explore the UK:

• There is massive variety of things to do in and around Scotland, Wales and England.
• Although the temptation is always to jump on a plane and head south to the sun, but now many  people are concerned with their ‘carbon  footprint’ and would like to have a more green holiday. I this case a motorhome holiday in the UK is a good compromise:
  • there are no planes involved,
  • the journeys made in the UK tend to be shorter than in Europe.
  • The overall distance travelled tends to be less than in a car based holiday as many families and couple like to ‘camp up’ and then go exploring by bike, bus or just walking.
• Although we all like the sun, we now know that too much UV radiation causes premature aging and more serious problems such as skin cancer, so for some the warm, humid UK summers are just right.

Of course if you do fancy going to Europe, hire a motorhome, get on the ferry and have fun, we’d love you to take one of our motorhomes to Europe, but do consider the UK too.

After about four hours on the Glastonbury Ticket hotline, we managed to get through and sorted a Teepee, which was all they had left.
If you also made it, congratulations you’re one of the lucky ones!

Now’s the time to sort out your accomodation - the choice is either tent or Motor Home.
I cannot comment on a tent, but judging by the weather last year, I know which one I’d rather be in.
We’ve sold out of two berths to hire in the South East and the bigger six and seven sleepers are going fast.

• Reserve your Motorhome today for just £250.

This is an article from MSN by Rob Morgan, read the original post here.

Assuming you were organised enough to register, here’s how to maximise your chances of getting a Glastonbury ticket when they go on sale tommorrow.

• Make sure you’ve registered. The closing date for this was March 14, so if you haven’t done it already, forget it, you ain’t going.

At 9am on Sunday 6 April, be in front of a computer and a phone and try REALLY REALLY HARD TO GET A TICKET.
 
There’s no silver bullet. But, if you absolutely must get a ticket, here are a few tips that might help:-
 

• Treat it way too seriously. You have to run this like a military operation. This whole article is faintly ridiculous, I know. All this fuss for a silly shouty mudbath, and there’s a war on - but if that’s what you think, it’s not surprising you don’t get through.
• Work as a team. You can each buy four tickets per person, so help each other out and quadruple your chances. Have a list of everyone’s registration numbers. Have a plan for what to do if each person gets through. 
• Remember, it’s quite likely you’ll all suddenly get through at once - then what are you going to do?
• Stay in your own house. Whatever happens, you can guarantee that by 9:30am, there’ll be people bragging on internet forums that they got tickets no trouble, then they got through a few more times just for kicks. Ignore them. It’s not that they’re unusually skilled at pressing buttons repeatedly, they just got lucky with their phone exchange or internet hub. The more places you try from, the better your chances.
• It’s all about the internet. Each year, more tickets are sold online. If you know what you’re doing, you can try things like turning off proxies and firewalls, using a work connection with high contention, and turning off images on your browser. It probably doesn’t make any difference, but it makes you feel like you’re doing something. 
• Don’t forget the phone. There are still loads of tickets available on the phone. If you can get into a redial rhythm, you’ll probably get through eventually. You can tell when you’re not even getting close refreshing the internet, that’s when you really hammer that phone. 
• Don’t bother with your mobile. Come on, those things don’t work half the time in normal conditions. You really think you’ll get through with that? And, no, pressing 5 for ringback is no help. Keep your mobile to take the calls from your mates telling you how they almost got through and hung up.
• Don’t buy a link from ebay. By about 9:45am, the guy who was bragging earlier will be selling a "GUARANTEED LINK" at £5 a shot. Sometimes those links will get you one stage further, but it’s hardly worth paying for - and you’ll probably find it on a forum for free. The danger of reusing any link is that you’re continuously refreshing a ‘busy’ page that’s never going to get you anywhere.
• Be lucky. One thing you can be sure of is that the annual Glastonbury tombola pushes communications technology to the limit. Actually getting a busy tone or a 404 page is a result - most of the time, nothing happens. It’s impossible under these circumstances for the networks to behave fairly. So some people are going to get through easily and some are doomed to get nothing – until that horrible moment when you get a ringing tone and every web browser finds the page at once. This means they’ve sold out. 
• If you do get a ticket call 0800 612 8719 ASAP or click here and reserve your motorhome, motorhome hire is a much more civilized and safer way to enjoy Glastonbury Festival.

Motorhome Holidays in France

By Robert Grigg

From Normandy in the north to the Cote d’Azur in the south, France is and always will be a popular holiday destination and has something to offer everyone. Gastronomic delights, fine wine, great beaches, wonderful scenery, skiing and great shopping. It’s no wonder that France is the most visited country in the world.

If you are looking to holiday in France, there are many different kinds of holidays to choose from including self catering breaks, package holidays, skiing trips, city breaks or gite rentals in the country. But there is another kind of holiday that is becoming more and more popular that allows the holidaymaker more freedom, flexibility and choice.

Motorhome rentals enable you to visit the many different regions of France as opposed to being restricted to just one area or region when choosing a package holiday or private holiday rental.

Most modern motorhomes come fully equipped with full cooking facilities, cutlery, showers, heating, double glazing, cd players, and other mod cons to make your trip as comfortable and as pleasurable as possible. Many of the larger motorhomes will sleep around six or more people, meaning that a larger family or two smaller families can be accommodated adequately.

The best time of year to visit France is in spring or the start of summer in early May. Most French people take their holidays during May and August so if you do travel to France during this period you may find the beaches and ski slopes a little busier during these months.

The French drive on the right hand side so remember to give way to the left at roundabouts. It is also advisable that when reversing, you have someone on the ground if possible to help, as the visibility on a motorhome is not as good as your average car.

Ok, so you have decided that a motorhome holiday is right for you and you can’t wait to get started but where are you going and what can you see there? Fortunately you will not be left wanting when finding things to do and places to see when visiting France. There are many different regions in France, 21 to be precise, and each and every one has something special to offer.

Normandy with it’s rolling hills, 360 miles of dramatic coastline and bustling market towns lies at the south of the English channel and is a popular tourist destination. It has a population of around 3.45 million and equates to around 5% of France’s total population. The largest land invasion took place on the beaches of Normandy on the 6th June 1944 at the end of the second world war and this is evident in the number of museums, bunkers, cemeteries and monuments that mark the historic event.

You can also visit Rouen which is the capital of Normandy and like most of France it is steeped in history. You will find the Notre Dame de Rouen cathedral which was immortalized by the French impressionist Claude Monet. Rouen is also a lively city and you can find many bars, cafes and restaurants to relax in.

If you are looking for somewhere different to visit, why not try the French Riviera and the Cote d`azur? With it’s Mediterranean climate and over 300 days of sunshine a year including a mostly mild winter, it can be a great place to visit via motorhome. Some of the major towns along its 70 mile coast include chic Cannes, St Tropez and Monaco.

We also have Brittany to the north east of the country which is a very popular holiday destination and has miles of wonderful sandy beaches. Brittany has around 3,500km of coastline which makes it the perfect place to participate in a wide range of water sports including windsurfing, canoeing, surfing and kayaking.

So there you have it. Buckle up and hit the open road. There are 21 exciting and very different French regions just waiting to be explored. And what better way than in a motorhome.

Why Visit Ireland Today

By Monica Corral - Lorica

Ireland has an embarrassment of riches and beauty blue beaches, nature resurrections, amusing golf courses, history loaded settings and warm hospitable smiles from its people. Truly, an Irish experience is something that will be hard to beat.

Since Ireland is known globally to be the ideal and ultimate vacation getaway, more visitors are coming over to revel in a spectacular escapade in this country. As this maybe the case, rest assured this dazzling adventure spot still has enough room for you and your friends to stay.

Indulge in a water escapade as you plunge your way into remarkable beaches in Ireland. Catch the tide in famous beaches like Mullaghmore Blue Flag Beach in Co. Mayo or the equally inviting Laytown beach in Co. Meath. Bring the waves closer to you as you splurge a day or two for an aquatic adventure of surf fishing in Portstewart Derry. The experiences you will have in these beaches are guaranteed to be one of a kind.

Establish a closer relationship to nature in Ireland. Sure, the beauty of nature abides everywhere, but when you get right down to Ireland, what better compliment could a destination have? Ireland holds a great number of wonders worth a visit. Get hold of the rarest breed of plants adorned by the sweet calls of cuckoos at Brookend Nature Reserve in Cookstown, Tyrone. Where would everybody go for woodland so perfectly preserved? Nowhere else but in Inishfendra in Newtownbutler, Fermanagh. This house of hundred aged oaks also reveals its deep secret of nursing rare species of yellow cress and flowering rush. Imagine the unimaginable in these nature preserves lurking right in Ireland.

Everyone wants to come in Ireland not only for a beach adventure and nature trips but to experience golf in its finest courses as well. Like to strike a club? It is definitely worth an experience to try the most famous golf courses in Ireland. At a leisurely pace or an intense level, the scenery in these courses is not to be missed.

Do you ever have an inclination for history? Then, Ireland is a unquestionably paramount destination to visit. The National Museum of Ireland has its door always opened for a blast from the past experience with bygone centurys relics and remains. This Irelands remnants exhibition may be seen in three places in Dublin: Collins Barracks, Kildare Street and Merrion Street. One branch of the museum lies in Co. Mayo. Relive the glory that was Ireland in these museums.

The most inviting factor that Ireland is proud of is the warmth of its welcome and the hospitality its people extends to its guests. Where else in the world can you see a pretty charming smile from everyone you meet? It is a hallmark unique to Ireland.

Why still look very far for an idyllic haven to set your course on? Ireland meets you openhandedly.

So how do you get the most out of Glastonbury Festival?

Firstly, you must register, either by the web site or by post during February, otherwise you cannot buy tickets for Glastonbury when they go on sale in April.

Even if you’re not sure whether you’ll be going, the time to register is before the 14th February, register on the official web site for free!

Next, on April 6th, the offical Glastonbury Festival tickets go on sale, via the web site and also over phone. The tickets can only be purchased by previously registered enquiries.

Last year my experience was that the ticket web site was constantly crashing and the phone lines were permanently busy.

After about four hours I managed to get through by phone, although by then, I found that all the camp site tickets had sold out and all that was left was a TeePee for only £1,850.

As I had well over 150 campervans at Glastonbury last year, I had to book it, no matter what the cost, to ensure we had on site support.

So in summary, you’ll need to be quick to get tickets, as they sell out really fast - within a few hours.

Actually, I had a really good time in the TeePee and I would certainly recommend one, if you can afford it.

And Glastonbury is worth all the money and effort - why do you think so many people go back year after year?  Because of all the mud? The fantastic toilets?

No, the reason why everyone goes back to Glastonbury is because it’s the best music festival they have ever been to….

But if you don’t get tickets, don’t give up , because Glastonbury have a second sale a couple of weeks later and then a final sale at the end of April  - so you have up to three chances to buy those elusive tickets.

Now most people, after securing tickets, then decide to hire a motorhome. This is a rookie mistake and here’s why:

By the time tickets go on sale, you’ll find there aren’t many motorhomes left to hire - unless you want to drive to Scotland to pick one up.

Why? Because there’s about 1000 camper vans maximum available for hire nationwide.

And a lot of camper van hire companies simply will not hire out for Glastonbury, period.

With over 150,000 + people going to Glastonbury 2008 that’s a big shortfall, don’t you agree?

If, at this point you’re considering a tent, you probably weren’t there last year (you might have noticed that it rained quite a bit and it was a little muddy in places).

Believe me when I say that unless you’re under 20 years old, a tent would be a very brave option indeed.

So instead of a tent, the sensible idea would be to hire a motorhome and split the cost between friends.

Every year, we offer a unique deal to our customers, a kind of "win win" offer.

It’s why Glastonbury revellers keep coming back to motorhome, year after year. Reserve a motorhome for Glastonbury for only £250 deposit.

If you don’t obtain tickets or the event is cancelled, we’ll happily refund your deposit in full at any time up to a month after tickets go on sale.

The balance is due one month prior to the event and you can collect your motorhome anytime during the week (Usually either the Wednesday or the Thursday).

This is important, as the opening day of Glastonbury is Friday, so you need to be on site either Wednesday or Thursday night to get a good pitch.

You might want to check with other camper van hire companies that you can collect a camper van on days other than either Friday or Saturday, as not many do.

And I don’t know any other camper van hire company who will refund your deposit if you don’t obtain tickets.

This year, we’ve over 300 campervans available for Glastonbury!

Think about it, if you pay the deposit on your credit card, it will only cost you a couple of months interest to hold a luxury motorhome for Glastonbury 2008.

How can we offer you this deal? Simple - there’s so much demand for a motorhome after the tickets go on sale, that we can easily rent your motorhome to someone else.

But I must also warn you that hire prices go through the roof after the tickets go on sale.

If you act now, before the tickets are on sale, you’ll find our rates very reasonable. And there’s £50 per person discount off our Glastonbury 2008 hires for bookings made before the 14th February 2008. 

Remember, the best, most convenient campervans are always the first ones to be snapped up. And this offer is completely risk free.
