Just back from 31 nights camping around the alps.

Much cooler than normal, 4 wet days.

A huge mix of sites, some 5e a night some 39e a night !

Still prefer 'camping a la ferme' sites, cheap, quiet, small, rural.

Only 7 or 8 nights out I'm afraid to say. However I've been busy with a group and various challenges and things but that is all just excuses I know. Would have been more but I was out in the recent good spell and made the mistake of dropping down to the pub mid wander which meant I was not fit to continue but went home for a sleep. Got at least another 6 nights out planned but know I will never get much more done in a year due to other activities. If I get anywhere close to 20 nights out I'm happy. They will all be proper tarp nights out in the fells though not just a quick nip to my local woods not that there is anything wring with that of course.

Might nip out to my local woods one night its nice out. Went walking there one evening after work and really enjoyed it. Not been to those woods for years and its really nice up there (its on top of a former quarry and hill overlooking Morecambe Bay). Thought I'd take a tarp up there one night and chill. Saw a nice pile of recently cleared wood. One branch looked right for a spoon. Never actually made a spoon before. I wonder if it's ok to nick one bit of wood??

My total has now crept to twelve. Though these do range from back garden, a bivi under the canoe to a debris shelter which makes me feel slightly better.

Puddock. Check your total as you posted in May with five nights.

Just in a house after a 7 night trip. 4 at Arisaig, beach site with just a toilet and tap, 3 at Glen Nevis, bit busy and full facilities - sea kayaking and open boating on loch Morar - hopefully away for another week if the rain breaks.

So total 4 in scotland, 31 in france, 7 in Highlands = 42. plus a few winter/spring ones at easter.

11 so far, all of them with the Scouts in a variety of ways: hammocks, tents, shelters.


Was supposed to be doing 2 more in Ireland next month for the Liffey Descent but it has been postponed by a month due to lack of water! Gutted!
