If you are a camper or a caravanner, then just about now you will be contemplating your first long holiday of the year. On the other hand you may have been put off the 'open air' life by the technical difficulties. What are the legal aspects of towing a 'van and of camping in a field? What sort of cooking utensils do you need, and what food do you take with you?
Christine Fagg, of Caravan magazine, and Barry Williams, author of the recently published book Camping, are in the studio to help with your own difficulties.
