Have you ever been camping?
Yes, for one night and never again.
Many years ago on our way to the South of England to catch a ferry to France we booked into the only campsite on the route. It was dark and we were tired. Got the tent up and settled down for the night.
We didn’t realise we were directly under the flight path into Gatwick and the noise of the planes coming in to land was .. well let’s just say it was not conducive to a good nights sleep.
I can’t remember what we slept on but it wasn’t very comfortable and that together with the noise made the whole experience a disaster.
When the dawn broke we staggered out of the tent and over to the showers. The water was cold and the place wasn’t very clean.
A disaster. I swore never again to camp out and on the return journey booked into an hotel. Camping was not for me.
