Not in Crawley Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Nowt better than cooking a bacon butty in the fresh air.... Its not for everyone I get that, and there's always a place for nice hotels and a bit of luxury but we've always found it a great way of having a load of cheapish breaks, without massive drives or travel, with the kids without much hassle. Gets them away from the TV, mobile etc and just nice to spend time with each other that we don't normally do at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’ve got loads of camping gear that we used when the lads were younger. A superb 6 man (or woman) frame tent. My wife never took to it so as the lads moved away it’s been stuck in the garage since. Trying to persuade her to give it another go. Maybe next year. Campings great.

Always been curious what you do if you need a dump? Do you:- A) Hold it in for the duration of your trip? B)Find a field and have a dump there? C) Wear a nappy and just hope nobody notices?

If its a nice night away, then a posh hotel islovely, done an all inclusive once. Didn't enjoy it that much, was well bored by the second week.

mickbrown Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 But seriously, ain’t a fan of hotels for holidays either. I don’t want to live with a load of other folk for a couple of weeks. I’m more a villa man. Own pool, own space. It’s just like camping, just without the shit bits 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was growing up in Little Hulton, United fans used to say things like that about me watching Bolton. It was the sixties, them European Champions, us on the slide to oblivion. Sometimes, reason doesn’t come into it. If it’s not for you, fine. Don’t Knock it if you don’t understand.👍 Edited August 21, 2020 by Boby Brno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
