Error in the April Magazine
On pages 22, 23 there are pictures showing locations in the Gower and Brecon Beacons. The main picture in the bottom is shown as the Gower coastline which this is not the case. It is near Nefyn on the Llyn Peninsular North Wales the building showing a pinky red is in fact a Pub, Ty Coch Inn Porth Dinllaen. This location you have to walk to.

Briang is quite correct, even allowing for this being the April edition of the magazine, to print pictures of a well known north Wales beach in place of one of the Gower's coastal views is beyond a joke. Whilst the article contains useful infomation for those wishing to visit south Wales,just how much time did the writer spend in each location? Far more interesting places to visit and things to do from Pandy/Croft Farm sites than included in the article, and why the need to cross the border and include references to Hereford and Symonds Yat, surely these belong in a review of Herefordshire/Wye valley.

This reminds me of an article about a couple of years ago about the Peak District in which it suggested visiting Bury market and Chester Zoo. Neither are anywhere near the Peak District but important and popular PD places were totally missed out.

Maybe it's all part of attracting the new adventurers that we haven't met yet. The ones that communicate in txt speak, are innumerate and believe everything on google and the internet is real, therefore an unreal image in hard copy matches that expectation and aspiration.
Or maybe it's just incompetence

Its not just the "national" part of the magazine with errors our "regional" mag which has an article on Sandringham tells us. who know our region, that Norfolk lavender is at Kings Lynn
,It would have been better for us to have an article on Wirrel Country Park which is an area that we would like to visit ,but of course the people from the Wirrel would know that as it is their regional magazine

This really is insulting the members. I've been going to Wirral CP every year now since 1990, and have already been this year. Even if I was new to caravanning if I lived in the area I might have just about known about the places to visit, except I hadn't realised that the Welsh Castles were easy to get to (only about 90 minute drive away! You could also reach the Lake District in that time but maybe they're saving that for a future instalment).
As I said an insult. IT'S A TOURING ORGANISATION! It would make more sense to give JVB the article about Wirral and those up here the info about Sandringham.
The running of this "club" just gets better and better.

I lurve that moniker. I wuz on v wirral for a funeral start of the year, of a family matriarch. I'll paraphrase what she would have said if she read it was a 'leisure peninsular'.
'Come to New Brighton for the leisure park, the stench from the copydex factory (copydex was ground up horses, more after the Grand National), at Speke that drifts across the Mersey and makes the washing stink. The derelict shipyards. The back to back slums. '
Evidently the new 'marketing' department at the CC / camc / wotever are typical poorly educated graduates that haven't been taught that travel broadens the mind. And clearly aimed at the new generation of adventurers that believe everything on the internet.
Out youngsters deserve better, to say nothing of the current membership

I spotted that too.... I must have been there when that picture was taken as the blue RIB in the photo was mine at the time and the grey one my friends. Must be an old photo too as I sold it 2 years ago 😀

A couple of pics when we were there 2 years ago. What a cracking place to be on a sunny warm day. Nice to have a drink with a beautiful view.

Trust visitors to the National will not hunt around delightful King's Lynn for Norfolk Lavender which, contrary to the article in the current club magazine, is not in the town but 12 miles away in Heacham. Likewise, both Castle Rising and Snettisham Park are at least 20 minutes drive from Lynn. No mention in the disappointing article about Sandringham's fascinating sculpture trail, the famous striped cliffs at sunny Hunny and the wealth of gastro pubs and great ale from Norfolk's many micro breweries that should tempt many rally-goers.

Do not worry the piece on Sandringham is only in our regional addition,written it seems, by someone who does not know the area as,we do ,maybe thats why its in our magazine,because we are expected to take it as fiction, as will the people in the Wirrel with their regional bit of fiction

This al reminds me of an article in the magazine a couple of years ago about Dorset (my home county)
A photo of Chesil beach (pebbles) taken from the top of the hill at Portland was captioned as Weymouth beach (sand) - about 5 miles away and completely different.
I wrote to the Club pointing this out - I didn't get any response.
