Flatlander Jun 2022 10:41am, 23 Jun 2022 2,505 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander 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 . I have refrained from posting the now famous photo of my tent covered in snow that night.

I keep telling her she could make a fortune renting out her shower, loo and motor home standing.

Flatlander Jun 2022 12:37pm, 23 Jun 2022 2,506 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander RichHL wild camping is a lot tidier and cleaner than a skip, and without the smelly debris . 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.
