Well apart from TE I think that'll be my camping done this year, when do you give up or you just carry on?
I avoid the end of camping season blues and the when to stop conundrum with one simple step.... I don't go in the first place. @rickyrooo1 gave me this advice..
Not the end but the beginning of next years preparation, questions like what Jobs i need to do on the van? Where do we book for next year? Do we sorn the van? When do we get the gutters welded?
Probably the last for me too though I could (normally) go on later this month weather permitting, just want to sort out some issues which will take my spare time up leaving none for camping...
Its just starting to get the point where my solo camping starts Minimal kit i can carry on my back along with less people in the countryside means im a happy para Plenty from the wilds to harvest at the moment aswell I sat in dense fog this morning eating wild strawbs and rasberries without a dog walker in sight
We camp up if weathers not to bad anytime , but this year might be a bit different , got a few bits want sorting but never store it , keep it running , sunday cruise or nip down ta marz. Use it or youll loose it they say dont they?
i dont stop off to dartmouth/slapton ways this weekend camping with the other half. nout but a tent, 2 bikes and a backpack. one day that story will end with: nout but my bus... but that day doesnt seem to be coming any time soon
we usually finish around november with a bonfire night camp somewhere then van goes into store dec to march, although i did use it dec 2011, this year though it's taxed until feb 14 so i plan to go away for new years.
Mine is taxed till at least jan but the wife and kids not to keen. Which is why I'm of to TE on my own - & it's my wedding anniversary so beat that chaps!
I love camping so I do it all year. No crowds, beaches to yourself, and the absolutely best time of the year for landscape photography.
We've got a few things planned in September, but I really want to have a couple of days away with just the 2 of us - no shows, no TLB folk - just us. Might stretch that into early October. Last year we carried on till Wilma's 40th birthday bash just before Halloween but that was flipping cold.
i don't get the it's cold bit? hook up or propex? i have both and love it later in the year, the biggest annoyance for me is having to wear coats and long trousers to be honest, we've had some excellent weather in october and even decent novembers too, to be fair it's money that stops me camping all year, the winter is my "recovery" time to sort jobs on the van and try to get sorted for easter which is usually my 1st of the next year.
Sitting all evening squashed up in the van round a heater isn't my idea of fun. And the longer darker nights make me miserable - I'd rather be cosy at home for them. I enjoy camping when I can sit outside and enjoy the views/birdsong etc. We didn't used to have the heating pipes fitted either - so driving was freezing as well. That's sorted now though, so at least we'll be a bit warmer for the drive.
it's looking like this will be our first weekend at home since the second weekend in may i'm not sure i remember what to do at home on a weekend the tax runs out at the end of October so if it's dry that will be our last camp
