Did wonder. 

Given the plight of the South then, I could forgive any nervousness. 

Saw for myself decades later the decaying aftermath.

Decent sized moon, wind coming off the sea etc.

No fucking way I'm pitching up in high winds.

She's not coming to this with them fuckers. 

This is "wild camping". It's bear grylls meets 4 lads from school who just want a night away having a laugh on the piss. 

"Family camping" in summer is completely different because its 4 lads from school who just want 3 nights away having a laugh on the piss BUT we all bring a different tent and the Mrs and kids (and dogs) come. 

Edit... We all have one man backpacking tents... Its definitely not broke back mountain

I've been camping loads of times over the years and finally come to the conclusion it's shite.

You're basically pretending you're homeless. Fuck that

I've only started 'family camping' recently.

Aside from the Mrs packing like its the coming Armageddon for 2 nights away 15 miles from home I've proper enjoyed it. 

Mainly because the kids love it and it feels safe.

We used to go away with a mate and his family. Most year's it pissed down. They ones it didn't it was bleeding boiling.

Then one year we hired a vw camper van.  Was ace. Next year we hired a motor home and it was even better.

Pricey though.

NIC will tell you that you’re wrong. I just think it’s the most pointless exercise. 
Need all that gear just to be comfortable and warm, have to build your own gaff, be cold, all the time in the wettest windiest country known to man. Then you have to pack it all away and drive home. 
What’s the point.
