:laugh: Or the ball ache of trying to fit your massive pole in that little central slot. Better not to mention any Guy Ropes either. :hehe:

the rose tinted spectacle picture Ben has put up to sell camping:fist: the reality is freezing cold, muddy ground, no fires allowed and dirty communal facilities :yuk:

Only at festivals

:joker:

Those are horrid camp grounds :nono:

Big Brother related bump.

Love a bit of camping. Trying to remember where I was back in 2015

i was pre TL

I was like I don’t recall posting this. It’s from 8 years ago :joker:

Oh how I miss Kirk :love:
Spent my holidays this summer tenting on my bicycle in back country and on old rail trails...

Must have been hard to pitch a tent on you bicycle :o

i used to go camping when i was fishing. It was a necessary evil in my opinion :laugh:

Overnight Carp fishing ??

hate camping, one of my worst nightmares

One of my friends is a big carp fisher man and he takes Matthew with him sometimes in a bivvy at the side of the lake. They keep trying to sell it to me that its calm and tranquil - but there are no facilities so I am getting a bit too old for peeing in a tree :laugh:

We used to camp loads as teensagers - but mainly just sitting up all night round a fire, taking rubbish all night then going home at first light for a hot shower and sleep ina comfy bed

Oh not a bivvy. I have to have an airbed and proper tent :laugh:

Sounds like your friend is after more than carp :joker:

Given the choice of a hotel room or a tent
The hotel room wins every time

Yes, forest bathing is good for mental well-being.

I used to go carp fishing in france for a week at a time. When your rod alarms go off at 3 in the morning its not tranquil, believe me :laugh:

He really needs to back off.
The boys were playfighting, leave them be.

No

rather in a bungalow

Well, generally I would park the bike and put up the tent. Never thought of doing it your suggested way :think:

Heeeeeell no. Love being outdoors, will happily go to a nice remote place and sit round a fire and roast some marshmallows and enjoy the peace and nature and all that, BUT at the end of the day I am 100% going home to my bed. In fact, I'd honestly rather just sleep in the car than in a tent :umm2:.
