ANYONE into the outdoors, be it sailing, walking, camping, caravanning or touring, should plan a visit to the National Boat Caravan and Outdoor Show at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, next month.

The Shuttle/Times and News has joined forces with organisers of the event to give away 10 pairs of tickets to the show, worth £22 a pair.

The 2003 show, from February 15-23, is bigger than ever before with almost 500 exhibitors - including a greatly expanded holiday section - great for holiday ideas both at home and abroad.

The show's exciting new layout means there's room for an even greater variety of outdoor living ideas.

Don't forget to visit Ocean Odyssey for the chance to view some of the most luxurious seagoing cruisers ever seen at the NEC as well as jet skis, inflatables and speed boats, or see the largest indoor display of touring caravans and motorhomes in the UK.

Visitors who prefer inland waterways or sleeping under canvas will find traditional narrowboats and dozens of tents on show, and if you're considering buying a park or holiday home you'll find plenty to choose from.

For the kids there is a great action- packed River Canyon feature sponsored by Dometic while those with a hankering for sailing will love the indoor pool complete with giant fans to provide winds for dinghies.

To stand a chance of winning one of 10 pairs of tickets worth £22 simply answer the following question:

Who is sponsoring the River Canyon feature?

Closing date: Friday, January 17.

Normal Newsquest rules apply.

Opening hours of the show are from 10am until 6pm (7pm at weekends). Car parking is free.
