Well, the festive season is over and now my head is very much in Camping mode again. Im looking forward to getting out there and seeing this wonderful nation again from the doors of our tent. There is nothing more satisfying than opening your tent zips in the morning to a different view. The sizzle of Bacon (not to mention the hypnotic smell) cooking on the coleman stove. The kettle boiling the water for that first brew of the day and not a single watch or clock being acknowledged. Time stops when camping.
My hopes for 2010.
I would like to see more of the southern end of England, however I am very concerned at reports of more and more sites being fully booked already - Its January for goodness sake! I don't like and have never liked booking in advance for camping. Its always been a phone-call to the site to check weather and space, then turning up. Always keeping a plan B nearby just in case. I would also like to see more of Scotland this year than in the past. I live here and haven't seen some places that are only a 30 minute drive away - that's terrible! The only thing that tends to put a dampener on things is the weather. I don't mind the rain, but the wind is the tent camper's enemy. Its not wise pitching in high winds and not really a nice experience worrying whilst lying in the tent at night if the next gust will kill the tent and end your holiday. This year I plan to see more - thats about the gist of it.
