Hi All,

I think the issue that you are all talking about is the April issue - The one listing the 2008 Top 100 Sites.

I'm sorry that some of you haven't enjoyed the issue. The Top 100 sites is selective, but the sites included are there because readers of the magazine and visitors to the website voted for them. I think that constitutes a weighty recommendation.

As there is so much parks content, we decided to run with continental travel features, in place of the regular Great Escapes, although rest assured these will be back in place for the May issue, having been redesigned to stop them getting repetitive and making you feel like you've 'seen one, seen them all'

In terms of practical content, the Freeview feature, ferry cost cutting and regular Q+A content are included, along with our normal six pages of towcar content, although there is more practical, technical stuff in the May issue.

We do try and ensure that Practical Caravan is not a generic magazine, with the same features in the same place each time you pick the issue up. We can't please everyone, all the time but we do try and balance the content.

I've said before on the forum and in the magazine that all feedback is welcome, and all your views have been noted.

Thanks for reading the magazine and thanks for your feedback.

Best Regards

Nigel Donnelly

Hi Nigel,

PC seems to be coming in for a lot of criticism this month. I know that you read the forums so with so much negativity flying about, don't you think you'd better sit down with Carl and think of some ways of freshening the whole thing up?

I understand that there is only so much that can be written about the subject before you find yourself having travelled full circle, but there must be a constant turnover of readers coming to caravanning for the first time as well as old lags like me.

For instance do we really need three items in the same issue from Hilary and Paul Harris? I may be wrong here, but the model in the Caravanguard ad on page 17 and again on page 90 seems to have have more than a passing resemblance to Hilary.........

Is there such a paucity of editorial matter from different perspectives that this happens quite frequently?

Cheers!

Vic
