In Brief

Gwynedd planners have recommended approval for a motorhome and caravan park expansion at Grafg Farm near Caernarfon. Meanwhile, the owners of Llys Derwen campsite have applied to open a doggy day care for guests.

Gwynedd planners have recommended approval for a motorhome and caravan park expansion at Grafg Farm near Caernarfon. The plan includes a 25-motorhome or caravan pitch and 10 tent pitches, plus replacing the toilet block with a new modular building. Investment is around £100,000. The planning committee meeting is set for 15 June.

Separately, the owners of Llys Derwen campsite and caravan park in Llanrug have applied to open a doggy day care for guests. The project would convert part of an existing building into six dog kennels, open from 9:00 to 17:00. The applicants say it will broaden offerings in a crowded tourism market and boost the local economy.

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.
