Brecon Beacons campsite goes year-round; another becomes adult-only
Original source: Wales Online

In Brief

A Caravan and Motorhome Club campsite in Brecon Beacons has been approved for year-round operation, reducing pitches from 200 to 150. Meanwhile, Dan Yr Ogof campsite will become adult-only from 14 September, citing a new tourism tax on children.

Year-round operation

The Caravan and Motorhome Club campsite at Brynich farm near Brecon (Powys, Wales) has been granted permission to operate all year. Previously closed from November to February, the application was submitted by owner Paul Barnes last April due to winter demand. The official pitch count has been reduced from 200 to 150. Winter opening is estimated to bring an additional £171,000 to the local economy and support three jobs.

Adult-only switch

Dan Yr Ogof campsite in the Brecon Beacons National Park will become adult-only from 14 September. The owners refuse to charge a tourism tax on infants and children introduced by the Welsh government. The tax of £1.30 per person per night, including children, will take effect in 2027, though local authorities can decide on its application. The owners called the tax on babies "morally unjustifiable" and noted that similar charges in EU countries do not apply to children.

A30 Westbound Lanes Reopen After Lorry and Caravan Collision Near Sourton Cross

A collision between a lorry and a car towing a caravan on the A30 Okehampton Bypass caused lane closures on the westbound carriageway near Sourton Cross. Police responded at around 11:05 am on July 24. The caravan sustained substantial damage, but no injuries were reported. Both lanes have reopened, though residual congestion and delays are expected.

1966 motorhome with Mini garage and recording studio

In 1966, British coachbuilder Harold Radford Coachbuilders built the Transcontinental Carabus Mk2 motorhome for steel magnate Philip Lee, based on an AEC Reliance bus. The 11-metre vehicle featured a hydraulic lift for a Mini Cooper S, a recording studio, two toilets, a roof-access lift, and a kitchen with a dishwasher. The project cost £25,000 (over €700,000 in today's money). DVLA records show the motorhome was scrapped decades ago; the Mini's last registration was in 1985.
