Drying towels

[StanHouseMuir]

The amount of time I spend pegging out towels, both inside and outside of the tent is a fair proportion of our camping trip (I exaggerate somewhat). For the most part, they're dampish for the majority of the week. What do you do to get they dry, or do you have special camping towels, the name of which I forget now...

We put our towels to dry in the car. I have heard about the microfibre towels which take up much less room than normal towels, but I don't use them as I hatethe feel of microfibre.

We have microfibre towels (dunelm mill 99p specials not the £24 climbing shop fancy schmancy ones).

They are AMAZING, and it really isn't me to gush about something like a towel.

Teeny tiny they are and yet will dry and average to tall human person with hair perfectly.

yes the sort of snaggy feel on the fingers and ugh! I'm drying myself with a dish cloth are a bit toe splay-ey but hey they pack down like this [small hand gesture] and dry like this . Have done away with my 'will these towels ever get dry' days [1950's pinny emoticon]

If it's raining or damp I hang them up on sucker hooks from the windows in the car so the air circulates a bit.

I got some microfibre towels at TK Maxx recently which have a texture a bit more like normal towels, less slimy than the usual micro ones. They were labelled as 'yoga towels' IIRC. dirt cheap and very effective!

We have the lifeventure microfibre towels that I got for a better price on-line than in camping shops and they are amazing! We got the extra large ones which are the size of a bath towel for each of us. They dry very quickly. I'm sure an unbranded one would be great too.
