This is what I have to suffer as I go to work. How is your daily commute?



This just brightens your day don't it:



Rush Hour:



Traffic getting quite heavy now as I approach my destination of South Cave, visible in the distance.

I said on another thread that I would put a picture of my sleeping bag packed away, but I can't for the life of me find the thread so im going to put it here instead.

No driving. No loading up the car. Pitch where I like depending on the size of my lawn. No packing away a wet tent. If it's raining it can stay up for another day or two free of charge until it dries out.

Are there any downsides? Well the view is nothing special and you get odd looks from the next door neighbour but at least you get your camping fix on the cheap. Anyone else like Garden Camping:yes: ]]> Everyday Talk TaylorMade http://www.camping-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7150 http://www.camping-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7149&goto=newpost Thu, 10 May 2012 10:25:19 GMT A few things around half price. http://www.outdoorworld.co.uk/ A few things around half price.

She had a great time and wants to go again next year. She was warm enough in her new sleeping bag, and had plenty to eat, and they had fun with all the planned activities. The only thing she complained about was...................................

"Some of the others got canvas tents, we had a nylon one, not fair"!!!

They sent my income tax return form back to me!

In response to question number 4, "Do you have any dependants?"

Ireplied -

2.1 million illegal immigrants,

1.1 million crack heads,

4.4 million unemployable people,

901 thousand people in over 85 prisons,

and 650 idiots in Parliament.


Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

My neigbour and her friend are into recycling to raise funds for the swimming club that they run.

We left it by the back gate, behind the garage, down a private driveway.

Went out this morning to the hairdressers, it's still there, came back, it's gone!!! Some scummy ba****d pog has no doubt helped themselves. What worries me most is that they have been onto my property to nick it!

Yes, I can get another one and I don't mind donating to the swimming club again, but that's not the point. Why do these people think they can just help themselves. Needless to say the police will happily give me crime number but aren't really interested!:arghh: ]]> Everyday Talk BananaCake http://www.camping-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7144 http://www.camping-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7143&goto=newpost Tue, 01 May 2012 23:00:06 GMT Hi Rach, welcome to C-T.

A few days ago I gave you a tip on how to get all Heated Up well your water that is!!!, today I am going to give you my tip for “Keeping Your Cool”. Take a sock, a thick walking sock is great for this but any sock will do however the thicker the better. Put in your can bottle or whatever, soak the sock in cold water, when it soaking wet, hang it under a tree or anywhere in the shade where the breeze can get to blow past it, keep it wet. Hey Presto a cool drink always cooler than the ambient temperature it’s as simple as that.
Years ago you could get a cool box that worked on the same principle easy cool I think they were called they worked great, we used a one for years all it cost to run them was a cupful of cold water a day, sadly you can’t get them anymore. So this may help you to keep things cool, and once again it’s free.

A family of ducks, mother and 10 tiny little duckings, has just waddled into my garden through the back fence, and are now making their way down the street towards the shops. They got across the road safely but I don't fancy their chances of they get to the main road. :cry2:

The nearest pond or lake to me is at least a mile away!

After spending a night in the tent with EHU and a night without, I have to say the Electric hook-up is the best invention ever. :biggrin: In joint 2nd place is a hot water bottle and duvet. :yes:

I must be going soft in my old age. I have been camping for 30 odd years and only started using EHU a few years ago. I think from next month, I will manage without electric until the end of September. It is only for heating. A 12 volt battery, a small invertor and gas will run everything else I need. ]]> Everyday Talk Isabell Tenter http://www.camping-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7140
