Wales
A Motorhome, Campervan and Caravan Touring Guide to Eryri, Mid Wales and Pembrokeshire, with Walks, Real Maps and the Pubs at the End of Them
Six touring bases across Wales, from Betws-y-Coed and Beddgelert in Eryri to Aberdyfi, the Elan Valley, St Davids and Tenby, each one a place to stay for a few nights without moving the van. For every base you get somewhere to park up and the reason to choose it, the walks, the pub worth stopping at, a wet-day plan and a plan for the days.
- 26 walks with the official distances, from the Betws-y-Coed bridges and Gelert's Grave to Nant y Gro, St Davids Head, Porthgain and the Bosherston lily ponds
- A real map and a free GPX route for every walk, with a QR code on the walk page to find it
- A driving map for every base, with height barriers and the car-park rules for vans
- Campsites for motorhomes, campervans and caravans, with dog limits, club sites and booking rules flagged
- Dog rules walk by walk, and the summer beach bans at Whitesands and Tenby

Ruth spent 30 years organising school trips. Colin is a mechanic and engineer who has never owned fewer than two maps of anywhere. They bought their first campervan at 50 and wrote the guide they wished they'd had in the glovebox.
