Give me a Premier in at the side of a motorway any day :sarky :whistle
Totally agree. :no :no

But I don't need to spend a miserable night under cavas either, when I can be warm, dry and comfortable. :drive

I'd like to see you fit that in your boat Stray :lol:
The idea of camping is because we'll be in a random location, who knows where ... we just pack the tents, and head of and find where we're going to camp :D
F-RibsAndSibs.Com.... :whistle
Because it's a big old WWworld out there :mrgreen:

Agree totally Stray and here is my 'rig'
OS truck n van.jpg
caravan
However, it's only for 1 night and the banter, yarns and camaraderie of an 'Adventure' together with 'like minded' boaters makes it all worthwhile IMO :|
You can still come and join us over the period, join us on the Friday outing, go fishing/exploring whilst we're away overnight Saturday and join us on our return on the Sunday if you wish :)
Put your name down and tell us what you're intending ;-)

I'm with you there Mr Stray - much prefer a solid roof over my head.
I have a 20 foot caravan, half a dozen differing sized tents.
I even sleep in my SUV.
I use my caravan electric cable with an adapter to heat and dehumidify the SUV when I'm on a site.
I do prefer dossing in the car over sleepin in my tent where the opportunity for mains electicity exists.
However living on the West Coast of Scotland there are so many stunning locations that are inaccessible by Caravan / Motorhome.
Hence my SIB and tent come into their own.
A few pints of gravy and you have your own in built Central Heating system.
No need to go and freeze out there in the wilderness
I do love my nights under canvas - particularly when you're in good company, around a glowing camp fire and in stunning surroundings.
For me these outdoor nights are the one's that i will remember in years to come.
These days are the days that i will reminisce over in my photo album.
I will tell my grandchildren all about my tenting activities - doubt I will tell them of my glamping on a campsite activities tho:cheers

Entries to the Wild West Adventure are now closed

Sorry folks but we've now reached our limit due to 'wild camping' restrictions of small groups.
