Have you ever been camping?

I have lots of fond memories of camping. In the New Forest being woken up by ponies, latitude festival with Gavin, a friends wedding and of course my own wedding.

We glanced on our wedding night but unfortunately it was in September and although the day was perfectly warm the night was like sleeping in a freezer, I have never been so cold as my wedding night. We had a bed, blankets and even an extra blanket and it was just to cold.

Being in the outdoors is wonderful but for the rest of the weekend we stayed in the cabin which had a fire and a hot tub.

I love sleeping under the stars and walking up to the sun rising over nature but I like to do it when I a warm and comfortable.

Gathering around a fire and chatting with friends and family is heavenly, but only if I remember the creature comforts.

I camped at uni in December. Packed everything up nicely and couldn’t work out how to carry the beer so I unpacked the tent, brought the beer and left without it. I ended up drunk at 3am building someone else’s tent right by the river we were kayaking down.

It was a proper adventure and never again!
