Donnelly, Nigel
Specialities: Editor, Practical Caravan
Every family holiday Nigel had up to the age of 18 was in a succession of family caravans, so he was better placed than most young writers to end up in this market. In 2003, after spells at Emap Active, Turret Rai and Incisive Media, Nigel and his wife threw in their jobs, bought a £1000 camper van and headed off on an 11k mile, four-month tour of Europe. On their return, he was thrilled to accept a job on Practical Motorhome. He moved to Practical Caravan in 2006, becoming editor in October 2007. Nigel still takes the majority of his holidays in a caravan. Away from the touring field, Nigel supports West Ham United, owns a 1969 Morris 1000 and a cat called Pinky Baggins.
