Camping and the great unwashed.
moff camping to north Yorkshire this weekend so i thought i would look at some forums to see what is what. This is my 3rd time. I was stunned at how many people dont wash during the weekend away
Most people seem to have a body spring clean before the leave and dont go near water till they get home...thats not right

Depends what I'm doing.
Any of the 2 day comps, wet wipes are the "shower" becuase where the comps are there is no showers or such like (read middle of no where in the middle of some random woods).
For the euro's I actually stayed on a proper campsite so I knew I could walk into a hot shower after the days shoot. Being as they were hed in Wales, I was betting on being wet and muddy.

Use them at 3 am, that's my advice.

You mean to say that you havent got a shower in your tent..
I loved my camping trip to NewQuay, my biggest problem was the noise, you can hear everything as you are separated from noise by a thickness of nylon.
There was a wind farm nearby (not my wife, but a real one) and I swear I could hear the turbines during the night, but it may have been my watch.
I did enjoy my new massooooove air bed from costco, it blows its self up, and lets itself down when you have used it. Best bit was we all slept in separate pods as the beds where so big, so sleeping on my own was bliss.
As for washing, showered every morning/evening, powerful, hot, roomy, showers.....shorts only, flip flops and towel around the neck affair.
The block was only 200 yrds away, yet I drove twice due to monsoon season.
Camping is a laugh and a leveller......and campsite entertainment makes you appreciate TV's Family Fortunes...
Also putting the thing up and taking it down, is a proper strain on family relationships, how fcuckin stupid are women, you would think sliding a pole into a fold of nylon would be second nature, but no...krypton factor stuff.
Good job I was there to supervise.

Shouldn't be too bad in the early part of Friday. If you use the A64 there are some slow bits that sometimes get clogged up. Yes, we're going up in the Scoob. A beautiful DBM classic wagon, just in case you'd forgotten.

I didn't know if you had managed to have the scoob stolen this year.
I had a practice car packing this week and i was pleasantly surprised that it all slipped in pretty easily. I a, having to take a pregnant chihuahua with me, she only has 11 days to go.

I've looked at that picture on my Photobucket, I've reposted it on another site, i've refreshed, logged out and logged in again and I still don't see what you're on about.
