A Tesla Model Y owner completed a roughly 250-mile trip to the Norfolk Broads in England while towing a Swift six-berth caravan, documenting the journey on YouTube. The vehicle required at least two charging stops, arriving at a hotel charger in King's Lynn with only 3% battery remaining. The trip highlights the reduced efficiency of EVs when towing heavy loads, emphasizing the need for careful route planning and charging management.

A journalist from Condé Nast Traveller shared her experience of a camper van trip through North Wales, renting a vehicle via Goboony. She highlighted the freedom to be spontaneous and explore areas not accessible by train. Goboony reported a 25% increase in bookings at the start of the year, indicating growing interest in flexible travel.

North Norfolk District Council has granted a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development for Castaways Holiday Park on Paston Road, allowing caravans and lodges to be occupied from January 4 to the end of February. The decision follows evidence of uninterrupted winter occupation for over 10 years, with booking records from 2016 to 2026. This comes after the council refused a separate application in March to remove the seasonal restriction permanently, citing safety concerns near Bacton Gas Terminal and potential impacts on protected wildlife.

The Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) has launched a campaign distributing QR code-branded bin bags to campers who are found camping irresponsibly, aiming to reduce litter and promote responsible camping. The bags, part of the 'Rubbish Campsites' campaign, include a QR code linking to camping guidelines and a directory of over 100 official campsites. The initiative is led by Cumbria's Strategic Visitor Management Group in partnership with the National Trust, Forestry England, and Westmorland and Furness Council. During the August bank holiday weekend, special split bins will be placed at Ullswater Information Centre and Coniston Boating Centre for a 'vote for your favourite fell' activity.

The borough council took legal action against more than 20 named respondents and 'persons unknown' to stop them living on and developing the land. Families had applied for retrospective planning permission for a 'gypsy site', but the judge ruled there had been 'flagrant' breaches of interim orders and granted a final injunction. A representative said the land was left with 6,000 tonnes of hardcore, which groundworks contractors would likely remove.
