Hi Qoe, yes yes yes, I can see why I hated camping so much, I will remember this whenever I get the urge to "do the outdoors" thing again.

The best bit of camping for me was retelling (ok with slight embellishment) how awlful it was when I got back.
I,m leaving all those early nights and even earlier mornings to those who are jolly good eggs and run the girl guides and scouting events.
I am so shallow!!
I did enjoy a mobile home holiday once in South of France, just outside of Nice. So maybe there is hope for me to get in touch with my au natural self!
