Outdoor - June 2009
Everyone I know, pretty much, is camping in the UK this summer, or going on a British holiday. It's funny, but even when reading the news hitting my desk that all trumpeted "Brits holidaying in Britain" etc, it didn't really hit home what that meant. The people I know that aren't holidaying in the UK, aren't holidaying at all. This should be good for the British economy, and hopefully for the future, when people will have the camping gear and know the country that much better, and realise that what is on their doorstep is actually pretty bloody good. I've lived in many places in the UK, and everywhere I've lived I've met people who have happily gone abroad every year for their holidays, but who had never left their home county in the UK.
I don't know where I'm going with this, it's really just a ramble, an idle muse - and believe me, my muse is an idle one. If you're reading this at the OutDoor show, have a great one - that really is a highlight of the calendar for our industry, and something to look forward to.
This issue, we've got a reply to a recent Baz Roberts column, on page 7, a Friedrichshafen preview on pages 12-14, new products on 10 and our second EOG column on page 15. I hope you enjoy the issue - comments and suggestions are always welcome by email to jonbruford@yahoo.co.uk
