'Create a treasure hunt list of items for the kids to look out for during the journey, such as a yellow car, an RAC van or a mobile home. It can be adapted for different ages to keep it interesting for everyone.'

Take along home comforts

'Good old fashioned 'I spy' keeps my daughters entertained for hours on end. Don't underestimate the classics!'
