I love looking at peoples camping pictures in magazines. hehe
Yeah, would love to go down west coast of Spain and do a spot of surfing and might also be great to take the tent. There is a ferry that goes down to Bilbao from Portsmouth so might be worth looking into. That is something I deffo would go for.. nice and warm and lots of great surf. Wow, seems a million miles away as I sit here thinking about it at my desk

You got a tent fetish too. I thought it stopped at the trampolines

Yes spain is lovely to camp. We stayed in Tossa del mar in one of those ready set up tents. It was mainly a resort that the Germans and dutch used and you could definatly tell the diffrence in what you would usually get in the more english areas. Lovely and clean and no rowdyness.

My tent fetish far out ways my trampoline fetish lol. My new tent has been delivered and i am so tempted to put it up in the living room. If only i had cleaned up i would have had room to do it.
I am now a luxery camper as i have got a tent carpet [giant picnic rug] and gas heater.

Nice one... deffo gonna look into this further. Although a bit expensive on the ferry, but it will be worth it once I get over there. Lots of great surf, nice beaches, nice food, great campsite and nice people. Cant ask for anymore really

Imagining the tent being erect in your living room. I did this once when I was selling one my tents and I needed a pic of it so up it went in the living room, after the moving of several items lol.

Who cares if it's a bit windy? Gives me an excuse for having messy hair

As for a combination of wildlife and the coast-wow. All I need now is a bottle of wine and a picnic! Food, drink, beaches and furries! How ME is that?

Well, told you umpteen times before, you are still welcome to come along. Should be a laugh!!!

And less of the cheek, unless you want to be left behind

To pastures new. I often like to go back to familiar places but there is nothing like turning up somewhere new and going exploring.

Speaking of Filey Brigg i Can't Believe how much the Brigg Has changed over the past Decade with Coastal erosion and what not it's being eroded at a frightening pace in the coming years there might be no brigg to walk down.

I told YOU umpteen times I AM NOT wearing a wooly hat

And you wouldn't leave me behind, because then you would have to go all alone, surely being alone is not preferable to my delightful company, charming
