More about Camping
Camping is a great way to get out and about, whether in the UK or abroad. It's usually cheap and can help you see bits of the countryside you'd normally miss in hotels or B&Bs...sunsets over lakes or mountains, stuff like that. I love camping, and actively avoid hotels on holiday if I can, but sleeping in a tent can be an unpleasant experience at times, and an uncomfortable night in a tent seems to last forever.
Here's a few select tips from my experiences to help you get the most of your camping adventure, in no particular order of course.
1) Always make sure you've got all your tent
I intended to camp while on a diving trip to save money, but packed at 04:00 in the morning. When I got to the campsite after a 10hr drive and some dives I found I'd left the tent poles at home. An uncomfortable night in the back-seat of a Golf followed, then B&Bs for the rest of the week. Much like leaving your passport at home when off on holiday.
