What is the obsession with attracting the yoof

As the saying goes it's not often that you are right, but you are wrong again.

Now does anyone recognise these books?

They were written by the chap who took that pic of the future Mrs C.

My father in law

some excellent photos in there including this one of Yellowcraig

and this wonderful battery box

I don't recognise the books, Corners, but what a wonderful memento of your fil.

thanks, the books are a picture of caravaning in the early 70s (green book) and late 70/80s.

'A combination of 2in coupling and 50mm ball (or vice versa) is dangerous'

'Sprite .... recommend 77lb nose weight for the 400 model'

'the Scott stabiliser is easily fitted'

'for automatics: 'Overheating can occur more easily on some models than on others. Where there is a large area of underbonnet space and a compact engine (such s the V4) airflow may be sufficient to prevent overheating'

'... fitted exterior mirrors, or a retrovisor' What is a retrovisor?

A crossing Dover to Boulogne would cost about £51, quite a lot in 1971

The caravan MH debate was about caravans v tents (still is with one poster here) so I'll finish with:

there should be no bias or snobbery between the two classes, and your true camper is no less of a lover of the countryside and a respecter of other people and property than the average caravanner'

I agree about welcoming everyone although I do have some sympathy with the OP.  My instinct tells me that the C&CC has a slightly wider age range appeal - tents are often used by those who are younger (it was the route we took that resulted in us becoming caravanners).  When we visit C&CC sites there are generally younger folk about during weekends and holidays.

.......some great pictures above,  by the way.  Great to hear of the connection between Frank Leonard and Cornersteady.
