Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I have proper camped in a tent many times and thoroughly enjoyed it, even the wild camping. :-)
I have even gone cycle-camping touring several times. On one of those tours I slept every night in my tent for 10 weeks - I even declined an offer from a camp site to use one of their cabins for the same price as for camping on a very snowy night in The Far North in June :-o . I have refrained from posting the now famous photo of my tent covered in snow that night. :-p

I’ve had to dig a tent out of the snow on the North Yorkshire Moors in April. I like camping though.

All our family holidays when I was young were camping - hanging on to a tent pole whilst dad tried to get it down before it went over the cliff at Durness during an August storm was a particular low point.

macca 53 - my sister lives less than 10 miles from Worthy Farm - my bil stewards each year. I keep telling her she could make a fortune renting out her shower, loo and motor home standing.

Wild camping is basically the same as living in a skip for a period. I want the battle for room service.

I have camped in horrible places on KIMM and SLMM without killing myself fatally to death (and knowing that it was only for two nights with a running buddy)

RichHL wild camping is a lot tidier and cleaner than a skip, and without the smelly debris :-p . The water is more sanitary as well. ;-)

Mind you, in that cycle camping tour to The Far North I did literally did set up my tent in a rubbish tip and sleep there because it was the only patch of raised dryish land for miles around amongst all the waterlogged ground following the winter snow melt. :-o :-p
