Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered. A local farmer using a tractor performed most rescues as drivers, often from cities, misjudged the rapid tides and parked too low on the sand. Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.

Footballer Erling Haaland has acquired an Airstream camper created in collaboration with Supreme as part of the brand's Spring/Summer 2022 collection. The vehicle measures approximately 6.7 metres long and was originally priced at around £67,000. Production was limited to 100 units. The camper features a kitchen with a stove, microwave and refrigerator, a separate bathroom, Ultraleather seating, a large bed and sleeping space for four. The exterior bears the Supreme logo and a large red awning. Haaland ordered the camper from the United States and had it shipped overseas; in a video on his YouTube channel, he said he would use it to store his Supreme collection.

East Suffolk Council approved a retrospective application from Cornerstone Paving Limited for four additional holiday caravans at Spring Park Caravan Park in Willingham St Mary, near Beccles, increasing the total from 24 to 28 units. The application was recommended for approval by planning officers despite objections from the parish council and a maintained holding objection from Suffolk County Council Highways over parking information. Councillor Toby Hammond urged refusal or deferral, citing the maintained holding objection, drainage and cycle storage concerns, and described Spring Park as having 'a long history of shenanigans'. Councillors approved the development with conditions including cycle storage provision, maintaining a register of occupants, and limiting occupiers to stays of no more than 56 days in a calendar year as holiday accommodation only.

The parks received a customer score of 81% and five stars for food and drink.
