I'm feeling tents

camping.jpgI'd rather take poison than go camping.

I simply don't get it. Why one earth (on earth, geddit!) would anyone choose to sleep outside in the cold and rain, on the hard ground, surrounded by wild animals, getting stung/bitten by wasps/midges/snakes, and using toilet facilities that are pre-Victorian?

That said, if you're into that sort of thing - and a lot of people are - I think this would be a thoroughly good read.

It's full of practical easy-to-follow advice on everything from camp cooking and reading the weather to wild swimming and tent types.

You can find more details here.

Or you can post a comment on the subject and I'll send my copy of the book (it was a freebie, I didn't buy it) to the person who leaves the comment I like best.

On the grounds (geddit!) that I may be the only person to comment and so, by default, will be entitled to your book, I'd like to say that some of the best moments of my life have been under canvas - and that's all I'm saying! Phil

No! Let me have it!

(a) I have promised my wife that we will go on a couple of camping holidays this year and so it will be useful

(b) I promise write a review for you to be used on this here blog. :)
