Carry on Camping

Hopefully, I’ll be getting out camping for the August Bank holiday this year… a friend of mine has never been camping so a few of us thought we’d spend the weekend breaking her in to, cooking on a small stove, sleeping in a tent, playing frisbee until it’s too dark to see, card games, midnight walks and sneaky toilet trips in the middle of the night.

I’ll most likely be going to Hadrian’s wall as it’s local to where I live and is perfect for a couple of nights easy camping –

My Kit List –

I’ll be sure to take…..

• Vango Two Man Tent (pretty bog standard but I’ve had Vango tents for years and they’ve always treated me well – still had my dads original Force Ten until recently)
• Deuter Sleeping Bag/Mats/travel pillow etc (may even be super lazy and take an airbed for a bit of luxury seeing as though I’ll be taking my Land Rover as well!)
• Cooking utensils and Trangia, fully equipped with my own personal chef (boyfriend).
• Walking gear, backpack, boots, food/Water, headtorch
• Entertainment (my lovely little Labrador Puppy)
• camera for when we go out on the hill
• I won’t be taking my ‘Sheewee’. It did not work out so well for me the last time. That’s all I have to say about that.

If you’re thinking of heading out while the weather is nice, Northumberland, Lake District, Yorkshire Dales are definitely on my list of good places to camp in northern England.
