Nicholls595 Jun 2022 8:11am, 23 Jun 2022 29,069 posts	0 Nicholls595 We fly to Skiathos next Sunday for a week in a two bedroom apartment. Really looking forward to it, not been to Greece for 16 years. However, I'm also looking forward to our annual camping holiday in August. 17 nights in a tent, in a field in Cornwall. Not exactly off grid, but totally laid back (literally, since I bought the hammock)
richmac Jun 2022 8:11am, 23 Jun 2022 19,044 posts	0 richmac Lol, to be fair the idea is just a single night/weekend away, to extend the range of day trips really. Bollocks to spending a week in the thing.. Me and Ex used to have this bafflingly massive tent that took an age to put up and a ridiculous amount of gear that meant one of us 'had' to have a big car to lug all the shit about. Once you totted up the cost of the gear, extra petrol 52 weeks a year and things like camping gas (she didn't like to be cold) B&bs would have been cheaper. This new thing is more minimalist, apart from the airmatress

Fenland Flier Jun 2022 10:00am, 23 Jun 2022 5,695 posts	0 Fenland Flier A 2 man tent each for a mate and myself for a weekend at car racing, after a session of drinking it's not too bad. The only downside is we're both over 50 and the toilet is never close enough during the night after a few cans of beer.

If it was hooked up and b). If the number of occupants was 2, or n-4
