Today is the hottest day in the UK since last summer, so it might get you thinking about motorhome holidays in the UK, rather than abroad.
That pesky volcano has caused a lot of people to think about the UK as a destination more so than going abroad, and motorhome holidays in the UK are no exception. If Eyjafjallajökull was easier to pronounce it would probably be the most famous volcano of all time; as it is Vesuvius will probably retain that title, with Krakatoa coming a very close second. This Icelandic volcano has caused, directly or indirectly due to over reaction from many parties, the most disruption to global travel and commerce than any other single event since World War II.
The main fear cited by the experts, most notable the Meteorological Office of the UK that used computer models to assess possible dangers posed to aircraft, was that the dust would damage the engines of aeroplanes, causing damage and possible catastrophic failure.
Caution won the day with thousands of flights cancelled or delayed and many times that number of passengers left in parts foreign.
One small group unaffected by the disaster was owners of motorhomes and those choosing to hire a motorhome, Most of these people simply stayed secure with a roof of their own over their heads or unplugged and drove home. If you like the idea of a motorhome holidays in the UK or Europe, you are not alone. It is an easier and greener option than flying.
