To go camping on my own?

[Undertone]

I am 29 and like me a bit of fresh air and space. I have booked a tent pitch in a gorgeous bit of Pembrokeshire near a small village and intend to spend a few days reading, snorkelling and walking/running.

My parents still think i am their little girl and have been chuntering that it's not safe, tried to make me stay in a b&b instead.

If it's a campsite in the summer it'll be quite busy, right? It's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere or in a crimewave Ground Zero (unless the village has been suffering from a spate of rarebit-snatching recently).

I've told them.not to worry and i will be fine. Privately, should i actually be rethinking this?

Just went out into the garden to take the tent down before it got dewy and was surprised how chilly it was! (was just wearing a vest top and shorts though). Defo a fleece situation i think.

I'm not going to manage to run the pembrokeshire coast path am i? I will just be on a patch of grass in front of my tent gripped by Riders and drinking cider...

Camping is great. People are generally very friendly. Just come back from a trip myself though is was in a van with dog and husband.
Take a hat for the evenings. I know how hot it is but when you've been sitting outside for a while...
Take a chargeable digital radio and listen to stories on r4extra. Lovely lying there listening to a good story.
Have a really good time.

You'll be fine! Go for it and have fun!

Loving these tips. Any more outrageously lovely stuff i can do/take for myself?

Undertone, I'm so jealous. This makes me want to ditch DH and the kids for a couple of nights. Sounds blissful.
I need a stovetop coffee maker. I would just love getting up when I please and brewing a pot of proper coffee then just chilling with a good book.

You need gininatin.

I love camping cooking so I'd spend ages pottering about cooking stuff on the fire and my Cobb. While drinking gin / wine and reading on my kindle. And having naps

Undertone there's a camping section in travel if you want more tips?

Sounds fab. Enjoy

Am so envious I am gnashing my teeth. Sounds blissful -have a wonderful time.

I'm going camping on my own in a couple of weeks.

Just me, my tent and my guitar (plus a few camping essentials!)

I'm really looking forward to it!
