Absolutely right. If you want all the luxuries you might just as well stick to hotels. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread24800 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 When we were tenting and trailer tenting we did it for fun, I'm sorry but the lack of fridge, decent cooker, Barby, portaloo, electric light, table, chairs and comfy beds detracts from a fun time. Masochism was never high on my list :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masochism was never high on my list :D Precisely.If you don't like camping, get yourself a caravan ( or motorhome ).... and if you can't afford that I can only suggest you go ' bed and breakfast.' ;-) No need we had all those things plus lots more floor space in our family size frame tent and then an embarrassingly large TT from Erka :-) It was travelling way down south and seeing people able to have a shower on a car park and cups of coffee inside their caravans while we were trapped in the car watching the rain on a ferry port that finally persuaded us that a Caravan would give more freedom. There are no brownie points in being uncomfortable. Though I have always thought that there was a form of inverted snobbery inherent in people who drag their families away for a fortnights outward bound survival course.

LittleSkink Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 we camp for the simplicity and freedom - if you need 300kg of gear and 2 hours to set up camp than that is your choice. None of my business if that is how you enjoy your leisure time I think that simple camping helps us appreciate the "luxuries" at home a bit more too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
