Be at the 2011 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

It was only last year when there were serious doubts as to whether this historic circuit would be hosting the British Grand Prix again, but thankfully a deal was signed with Bernie Ecclestone to use this as the venue for another 17 years.

Not many sporting occasions can match the excitement of the Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix, so if you want to savour the famous Silverstone atmosphere for this year’s event then get your tickets now for the experience of a lifetime.

Tickets are on sale now and the prices are cheaper if you book by the end of the month. There are Vale, offering a pit lane entrance view, Club, watch from the elevated grandstand, and Woodcote A, with spectacular views of the Wellington Straight, seats available for this grand occasion.

Choose where you want to cheer on Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton from and see if a British driver can win the race once again and climb the steps to the top of the podium at Silverstone.

There is also camping available for those who decide to buy a three-day ticket for this auspicious occasion in Northamptonshire, so why not stay in a luxurious mobile home for the duration through motorhome rental?

Plan your summer festival trip now

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

It is around this time that festival organisers tend to announce their line-ups in a bit to create a clamour for tickets as they are about to go on sale. The acts for the main UK festivals are already confirmed at this time, so if you don’t want to miss out on a weekend of camping out and listening to great live music with fellow festival-goers then you need to keep an eye out on the news.

As many people will tell you, the best way to enjoy these experiences is through camping over the entire duration of the event. You can now arrange for your caravan or motorhome to be delivered at the site, ready for when you get there. This is a big help to people as they sort out their travel plans.

So, get you tickets fast so you aren’t left disappointed, and then get your accommodation sorted through motorhome hire.

Camp Bestival 2011: a summer festival for all the family

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

Now into its fourth year, the popular Camp Bestival event is shaping up to be another fun festival for the whole family.

Famed for its attitude towards catering to those with young children, this event is so much more than a music festival. There is plenty going on over the four days, running from Thursday the 28th to Sunday the 31st of July, with the fancy dress theme for 2011 announced as medieval.

Top headline musical acts have already been revealed by festival organisers with Blondie and Mark Ronson now confirmed for the Friday and Saturday nights respectively.

The campsites for the festival will be opening on the Thursday and weekend camping tickets for Camp Bestival have already been put on sale. So, if you want to go and experience an exciting family holiday then make sure you move quickly to secure your place.

Campervan or motorhome rental is a great way of enjoying this summer event, as you can arrange for the mobile home to be delivered direct to the event at Lulworth Castle in Dorset in time for your arrival. And that is not all, as it will be collected once it has finished so you do not have to do anything expect book it in advance.

Go to any UK event with motorhome rental

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

Renting a motorhome is one of the best ways to travel to any event based in the United Kingdom as it allows you to travel there at your own pace. You can get to the venue whenever you like and can relax as you have everything you will need right there with you in the motorhome itself.

Each self-contained unit is packed full with all the home comforts you could ever want on your journey. These come in the form of the modern facilities and handy equipment that a motorhome now offers as standard.

If you wish to go to an event which is based in Europe then this is another option available to you through motorhome rental. Whether it is a music festival or trade show you would like to attend, a motorhome is the perfect choice for you, to get you there and give you all the comfort you require.

This fully mobile unit can be taken anywhere you wish and this is why many people decide to travel to their chosen event in a mobile home rather than having to deal with the hassles associated with booking an expensive hotel for the duration of their stay. You can even arrange to have the motorhome delivered to the event and set up on your behalf.

Going on an adventurous road trip

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

When you decide to hire a campervan or motorhome it is completely up to you where you want to go or what you wish to do. Some people prefer the quiet life and a chilled out walking holiday round the villages of the Lake District or by the beach in Wales. However, others want to go to see far more outlandish places and life a life on the road for a while.

If you are one such person who wants to embark on this type of journey with friends, then these vehicles, which come complete with all your accommodation requirements and more than enough facilities that anyone could ever want when away from home, then go ahead and start planning your road trip through motorhome rental.

The fact that you can do what you want means you can just grab a map and ensure that the motorhome has been packed with your essentials and then it is time to hit the open road. You could decide to travel the length and breadth of England, or even see some of the sights that other parts of Europe have to offer. Wherever you go, this flexible form of transport will give you precisely what you need for such a trip.

Maintaining your motorhome on long trips

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

When you hire a motorhome you can rest assured that your chosen vehicle will have been professionally serviced for you before you set off. However, when you are on your holidays, especially if this is for a considerable amount of time, there are a few basic maintenance tasks you can perform.

Check your tyres

As you never know what surfaces you might be driving across when on your journey through the UK or further into Europe you should perform a weekly tyre check to see if there is enough pressure. And while you may have breakdown cover, it is always best to try and minimise the risk of having to make a callout.

Other routine tests

With motorhome hire, you may also wish to keep an eye on the water, oil, coolant and brake fluid levels, in addition to your screen wash.

A vehicle maintenance course is another thing you could think about undertaking before you set off on the long trip. This is so you can be more confident when driving and knowing what to look out for when it comes to these mobile homes.

Hopefully you will never encounter any problems during your motorhome holiday, but it is always best to be fully prepared for these kinds of eventualities.

Things to remember when planning your next motorhome journey

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

With spring on its way soon, it is now just about time to think about where you want to go on your next trip. Motorhome rental holidays can be full of adventure and excitement, but there are a number of things you must do in preparation.

Selecting the most appropriate vehicle

One of the most important considerations is to get the right kind of motorhome for your requirements. Obviously if you are going away as a couple you will need to ensure you just have enough space for the two of you. A bigger model will be required for families – so it is good to know there are motorhomes available that can sleep up to six people.

Taking the equipment you need

When contemplating what you should take on your motorhome holiday with you, there are some things which are essential and other items that just won’t be required. Remember, modern motorhomes come fully equipped with all the mod cons you would ever wish to have, so you won’t need to take all your usual camping equipment along for the ride.

For those who want to save money on their gas usage at night, a fan heater may come in handy as long as you are staying on a caravan site with its own electricity supply.

Have you sorted out motorhome rental for the Cheltenham Folk Festival 2011 yet?

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

If you have tickets booked to the Cheltenham Folk Festival in February 2011 but you haven’t sorted out transport or accommodation yet, there isn’t very much time left for you to do so!

The Cheltenham Folk Festival is a charming mid-winter festival, showcasing the very best national and international folk artists and bands. On this year’s lineup are:

• Freya Ferguson & Abbott
• Nancy Kerr and James Fagan
• Lunasa
• The Crucible Trio
• Jon Boden and The Remnant Kings
• Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman
• Pilgrim’s Way
• The Melrose Quartet
• The Yetties
• Sam Sallon
• Johnny Coppin with Paul Burgess

With the festival being just a couple of short months away and the winter weather being most unpredictable in February, confirming your motorhome or campervan rental now is crucial.

The weekend ticket price for the festival doesn’t include camping, so you will need to arrange a warm, dry place to spend the weekend. With a campervan or full-sized motorhome if there are lots of you, you can travel to Cheltenham and stay over in your transport. It’s pretty much the perfect solution, unless you fancy braving the chilly February weather and pitching a tent!

The reward after a long walk in the countryside

Monday, December 27th, 2010

One of the best things that I, along with the majority of ramblers I expect, really enjoy the most about a day spent walking through the hills and fields of somewhere like the Lake District is to relax in the evening at a cosy restaurant and enjoy a lovely warm meal.

May people who go walking are like me in that they like to feel rewarded for the hard work put into hiking. At the end of a long day there is sometimes nothing better than to go into a country pub or village restaurant and order a really nice meal.

There are so many places where you can get great food and enjoy the culinary delights of a region before you go back to your motorhome and retire for the night. A real benefit of motorhome hire these days is as they come with hot water and heating installed, you can really feel warm and cosy in here too.

There is so much the countryside has to offer and it is not just about exploring nature either, as you can feast on good food within some of the nicest eateries to be found anywhere in the UK.

Motorhomes now kitted out for winter

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

When you think about hiring a motorhome doing so in winter may not immediately come to mind. After all, with the cold weather and the possibility of snow on the horizon, you may consider it wiser to spend your time indoors and wait till next spring. However, this is a real shame as the countryside really does look beautiful at this time of year, plus these modern mobile homes are fully equipped for all seasons.

If you do decide to take the plunge and opt to hire a motorhome in the festive season then you will certainly not be disappointed. Why you may ask? Well, firstly, and most importantly, these vehicles are fully winterised and heating is a standard feature nowadays. You can also look forward to double glazed windows to ensure you and your family and snug and warm whatever the weather is like outside.

The next thing on your mind might be; where could you possibly decide to go? Motorhome hire can prove to be an affordable way to trek across the UK and visit friends and family at Christmastime. These mobile homes come with a number of room options and you will be able to use all the mod-cons they are equipped with so you won’t miss home at all. So if you decide you do want to go away and escape for a while then motorhome rental is a great option.
