Benjamin Posted July 16, 2020 Share Watch your mouth! That think is LUXURY in Hartenbos! Space for all my bikes and charges, ski stuff and my dirty kit, perfect.And the experience of riding your bike , coming back near sunset , lighting a fire and having the first few crisp sips , while presiding over your campsite is just stuff of legend .

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 16, 2020 Share I don't care how much glam you lot are adding to it ..it is still camping.. [emoji2961]Exactly. Bliss. I'm more of a tent person, myself (having grown up in a few of these ones below, and normal dome tents) but there's something wonderful about being in the wilderness with nothing but sky, a camp fire and your choice of location.

All very romantic.. but the reality around camping is something I do NOT enjoy..dirt, dirt , dirt everywhere...shared facilities..caravan parks..walking to moer and gone for water and a loo or dig a hole..[emoji2961].[emoji38] I shall pass on it..unless someone forces me.. then I'll go for a tent thx.[emoji38] Duane_Bosch and Wayne pudding Mol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But incorporating camping into our trips allowed us to go on holidays twice as often and twice as long than we would have been able to afford to if we had to do self catering (never mind hotels but that is out of reach of our family budget anyway) - so quite happy that I married someone who grew up camping as a kid and did not need convincing.

Hey and you make due..but it never quite excited me. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Duane_Bosch, Skubarra and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
