Me and Dave went on holiday camping last week for a break in-between my
placements. We had a lovely time but, being us, had a few hiccups.
Here are ten pointers to help you have a more successful
camping holiday than we did:
1.
Take waterproof clothing. It rains
2.
Don’t wear flip-flops, especially your favourite
ones, because they may be ruined by the elements and you may end up throwing
them in the campsite bin
3.
Use a tent that doesn’t allow water in
4.
Don’t bother doing your hair because you may
wake up with half of it wet and matted stuck to the tent
5.
Don’t roll your clothes up and put them down the
sides of the tent. They may be dripping wet when you wake up and you may have to
leave the tent in your pyjamas and have nowhere to dry those clothes due to ongoing
rain
6.
Find a pitch near the toilets in case you hear owls
and wolves and your other half has to wee outside because you're scared
7.
Use a tent at least the length of your body to prevent waking up with brand new hip problems
8.
Midgies like to eat your face. Get something to prevent this
9.
Trying and testing a BBQ numerous times
doesn’t necessarily mean it works when you get on your holiday. It might not
cook meat when you’re not in your garden
10.
Remember your knickers when you go for a shower or you're in for an uncomfy day
Our camping holiday lasted a day before we went up to my
friend Emily’s to stay.
Here is our holiday album. It is not how I had previously imagined
Dave willing the rain to stop and the meat to cook
