BEST YORKSHIRE LIFE
Beaches, staycations, cool coastal happenings
HIGH DAYS ON THE ROAD
If a weekend cottage or a seaside apartment feels like a mundane kind of staycation, here’s a getaway option that really gets you back in touch with nature. Defender Camping offers just as much relaxation as a B&B, but with a little more adventure.
How does a sleepover in your very own 4x4 sound? Defender Camping by Yorkshire Vehicle Hire has a fleet of iconic Land Rover Defenders, each one equipped with all you need for a fantastic camping experience. That might mean a two-day trip across the North York Moors, pitching up at Flamborough, or a two-week excursion across the North of England’s beauty spots.
Every vehicle comes with a quick and easy to assemble weatherproof-roof tent, meaning you won’t be battling with the elements. The roof tent comes equipped with a memor y foam mattress, ensuring a comfortable sleep in your setting of choice. There is also plenty of storage, so you can take everything you will need for your custom country adventure. Lastly, you will have all you need to keep you fed and watered, such as a gas cooker, gas bottle, table and chairs, kitchen utensils, a picnic set and a cool box. They are dog-friendly too.
Pick up your trusty Defender at the foot of the North York Moors then head for the coast.
