The Joy Of Dry Socks.

Wet, hungry and freezing but still in one piece. Camping trip was filled with lots of ups and downs. Good times and bad. Here a few things I learnt from this trip.

(1)When your camping in a field and the toilet is on the other side of the field. Be carefully walking back late at night as when Moths can pick you out from your torch light they tend to go for you like Japanese suicide bombers go for Battle Ships.
(2)Wearing wet trainers and socks we’ll get to a man over a period of time. It fine for a day when you know you can get home and change your socks and stick your trainers by the radiator but when your miles away from dry trouser it starts to get to you… well me.
(3)Bacon taste better on the west side.
(4)Tents only seem to come in either Green or Blue colour.
(5)Tents never come with enough pegs\hooks. Buy extra before you go. People always want tent hooks when they go camping.
(6)Those trendy tents that just pops into shape are actually pretty good, but a bitch to put away back into they’re tiny carrying bag. Especially when it’s raining and blowing a gale and you need to leave in a hurry.
(7)Don’t get your designated driver into a drinking game involving beer, vodka and red wine the night before your leaving. Drinking games and next day eight-hour drives don’t mix.
(8)When everybody told to “pack light” because of car space and someone brings along a giant, fluffy Duvet, you can get hours of comedy gold out of it.
(9)Take the time to make a compilation CD for long journeys before you go and maybe a few magazines.
(10)Shag, Marry, Kill is the new Eye Spy.

Here a few photos. Including when I was walking along a beach and came across a toilet seat. How it got there god only knows. Maybe it belonged to a Mermaid?
