Just back from my hols - 2 weeks camping - so my total has leaped up to 28. Got a couple of days on the Pennine Way coming up next week so that should help me towards my goal of a month under "canvas" in 2011.

Well its only 10 for me, purely tent camping. No proper bushy stuff yet this year :(. Not bad considering a change of job and city!
Also first post on here for a year or so, hello again all :D

Ive managed 4 earlier in the year, just booked another 3 at forgewood in tonbridge wells for the end of september and thatll probably be my lot for the year unfortunately, hammock and tarp all the way so far, although may try tenting for a change.

SWMBO really hates my trips to the woods so dont manage to get much time and she wont come with me due to bugs, cold, wet, trees and all manner of other excuses, think she just likes being indoors!


Really jealous of some of you that are clocking up 40+, Id lose parts of my anatomy before I got anywhere near that sort of amount.

Did another 5 last week, so now back at work though.

42+5=47.

Pressure from school kids for another few overnighters canoe camping, minefiekd of paperwork first week back.

Trying to get a grant for a set of hammocks, tarps and bivvy bags, would like to do a beach camp with tarps and bivvy bags.

Seems a lot of kids have been watching 'Man, Woman, Wild' and have asked to go do the same stuff !

Have you tried a nice thick thermarest, below zero rated bag etc to make it comfy and warm ? Females I canoe camp with wear primark 1 piece fleecy pyjamasuits, they say they are really cosy.

Its no use, I've tried everything to convince her but she just doesn't like the outdoors, even runs away from slugs. Looks like I'll be going on my own again, ho hum!

For all people who are out a lot, I highly reccomend starting a blog on the subject. Its serves to keep the memories alive, and is great to look over your trips from years before. I've never been one for looking through a bunch of photos, but a blog brings it to life a little. Best thing I ever did.
