A great value holiday hidden under canvas

Stay safe and enjoy the sunTAKE CARE: Bystaying alert, beingsensible andtaking precautionsyou will be able toenjoy your holidaywithout the fear ofbecoming a victimof a crime.

MAKE A SPLASH: Manycampsites have fantasticfacilities for the whole family toenjoy.

ALTHOUGH the idea of being onholiday is to have fun and becare-free, the reality is that youhave to look out for yourself and bealert.

In most holiday destinations personal safetyis a matter of staying alert, being sensible andtaking the same precautions you would athome.

Don’t allow yourself to be in a vulnerablesituation and especially keep an eye on theamount of alcohol you are consuming.

The risk of violent assault varies from countryto country, but you should be realistic and stayaware of the potential dangers.

Take advice from locals and tour guidesabout the areas to avoid, especially at nightand when alone – some countries even have“no go” areas.

To make yourself as safe as possible followthese tips:" Carry the minimum amount of cash." Don’t show off your valuables, such ascameras, jewellery or video equipment." Dress sensibly, respecting local traditions.

Women, especially, should take care not toexpose too much bare skin in certaincountries.

Carry a sarong or T-shirt with you to quicklycover up if necessary – be particularly carefularound areas or buildings of religioussignificance." Being drunk or under the influence of drugswill leave you particularly vulnerable totrouble." If travelling with a group, watch out for eachother.

Make sure someone knows where you areand what time you are expected back at yourhotel or accommodation and organise meet-ing places for if you do get separated." Don’t resist attackers – if confronted it’susually safer to give up your valuables.

PLANNING a family holiday in thesun can prove expensive, butthere is a cheap alternative if youare prepared to enjoy the delightsof mobile homes or save evenmore cash by going undercanvas.

By far the most populardestinations are Brittany and thewest coast of France, thoughmotoring further afield to thesouth coast or even Spain canensure better weather.

Firm favourites have includedthe Vendee and the CharenteMaritime on the west coast ofFrance, where, with early bookingdeals, you enjoy fortnight longfamily breaks in mobile homes fora very reasonable price.

Obviously that price is only forthe accommodation and thesame again should judiciously beadded to take account ofmotoring costs, insurance,

providing food and drink andother incidentals.

From that point on it’s really upto individuals whether they blowtheir money on trips to themeparks, expensive meals out orsample the simple life with freshFrench bread, country paté, a fewhorse burgers and garlic snailvol-au-vents from the localsupermarket.

Being adventurous with food ishalf the holiday in a countrywhich has largely escaped thetransportation of play safeoptions of egg and chips androast beef and Yorkshires, whichafflict other holiday hauntsfrequented by Brits overseas.

For families, the bars can proveprohibitively expensive with twopints of lager being the equivalentof a pack of 24 bottles from thelocal supermarket.

Most caravans are equipped

with barbecue facilities and apleasant patio set, so it is easy tomake your own entertainment alfresco with a much cheaper goodbottle of French wine and theoption to retire to your caravanfor board games as it coolsoutside.
