I have only done it a couple of times, a long time ago and I hated it. But now I'm wondering if I should make some changes...

[Cappuccino]

after spending 100s of pounds on staying in a cottage which was decidely all right

and not getting any sleep cos the kids woke at dawn

so I have questions

1. do you actually get any sleep?
2. are a lot of campsites disabled friendly ie with toilets and showers and that for dd1?
3. (dh's question) are they full of worthy hippy types who will want to speak to you
4. how much does it actually cost?
5. can you really just set off into the sun or do you have to plan endlessly?
6. will it kill us?

er, haven't you made the connection yet kathy? dh WAS those loud boys a few years ago...

Oh God no Aitch, dh's hillwalking friends were never loud. Half of them don't even drink and I think some of them were never even teenagers - they went straight from childhood to middle age.

Just had to google solar showers. Am now chortling quietly at the thought of having to rely on them in the highlands. Think I'll stick to campsites with shower blocks.

lol at kathy

look kathy get yourself to one of the guardian sites. Or go on ukcamping and read the reviews.

Have just realised that I might be a worthy hippy type who likes to speak to people...I do like chatting to people when camping...

cappy i will put a sign on my car and if you or your dp see it as you drive into the site you know to turn that car RIGHT around...

Yes I think you're right, Filly - I need to find some better sites.

I mentioned Great Langdale and dh objected to the lack of pub - like we get to go to the pub!
