review

Camping. It's all about roughing it. Scrawny sleeping bags on lumpy stoney soil, tins of cold meat and no communication with the rest of the world.

Well, we all know that's not going to be true for us lot. Palatial tents with plump air mattresses, shower blocks with piping hot water and paper thin sleeping bags replaced with duvets and pillows, snubbing campfires and gas stoves for dining out at local restaurants... And a WiFi connection for Facebook updates - well that goes without saying.

Having said that, Steve did knock up a marvellous breakfast, and we even managed a lovely barbecue before I had to head back home via Bournemouth on an open-topped bus (I haven't been on one of those for years!).

Big cheers to Carl for dragging us down there, and for Ben's local knowledge for keeping us from being beaten up as we minced around Swanage!
