The great British holiday

Posted: November 26th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Outdoor Activity | Tags: , , , , , , , | No Comments »

Going camping has long been a popular holiday activity for the British public due to the fact that it is a cheaper alternative to staying in a hotel. It is also an opportunity to see the world from a different perspective without having to go to over crowded tourist spots.

I have always been a big enthusiast of camping and go at every given opportunity. My wardrobe is bursting with outdoor clothinghiking shoes, camping equipment, and maps, and I love the freedom of being able to go on an adventure whenever I like.

It is a fantastic and welcome alternative to the arduous process of hotel booking, flights and insurance, when I can load up the truck and take myself to wherever I want to go. Having the option of loading all of my gear into my backpack gives me the advantage of being able to hike across the countryside to a new location at my own discretion.

This also means I can meet new people regularly. There are quite a few occasions where I have met some fantastic people at a new camp site and have been invited to explore the local area with them. It was a great time to enjoy the company of others, and to really enjoy the spectacular views provided by a beautiful landscape.

Families with children will benefit from a camping holiday too. Nature is filled with fascinating things for children to do, and is a great alternative to watching television. Camp sites across the country are family friendly and allow children to play and explore in a safe environment where everyone looks out for each other.

In today’s economic circumstance, camping holidays will surely help to save money and are the best way to enjoy the country.

Camping hire gear in Tassie?

Posted: April 2nd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Gear | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

Hi, a friend & I are going on car-camping holiday around tassie leaving in the middle of January.
Having done a bit of camping before, I’ve got a tent, sleeping bags and all that kind of stuff already. But we haven’t got a camping stove, pots & other cooking gear.
Since we’ll be getting to Tassie via the train & the ferry, and then rent a car, we don’t want too carry too much luggage with us, so it’ll be good to hire any cooking gear at Devonport.

Any good camping shops there, who don’t charge too much for camping cooking gear hire?

TIA


Camp In France

Holidaying in France and in fact camping has changed dramatically over the years. More people are opting for this type of holiday so if you camp in France you will be sure to be taken care of. Camping spots are more than ever like resorts and with family-sized, fully equipped tents and mobile home, camping is easy.

In the old days, camping was never really a relaxing holiday, but it is now and cam sites have become more like resorts with restaurants, swimming pools and all kinds of entertainment. The whole family will love it! Visit a coastal or a country site, or even one that allows access to both of these areas, and if you grow bored, just pack up and move on.

Campsites are very well maintained and organized in such a way that everyone’s needs are catered for. Careful planning could find you camping n a spot where you have access to both the coast line and the interior countryside. Exploring both these options really makes for an exciting holiday. If you have your bicycles with you, even better, you don’t have to drive, and you get exercise too.

There are so many different areas in France where you will find beautiful camp sites. If you think the Cot ‘dAzure is only for the rich and famous think a gain. Take Gran and Grandad with you, they will love it too.

Two lovely areas are Gascony and Royan, there is plenty to see and do. They are coastal areas, surrounded by stunning countryside and they are also wine and Cognac making areas. When in Royan visit the Island of Oléron, it is famous for its magnificent beaches and is home to an ancient citadel, holiday makers can gain access by bridge. The valley of the Charente River is a famous Cognac making area, so don’t leave without sampling some.

When in France you must sample local cuisine, as these are coastal areas, the seafood is excellent. Fine wine and fine food work hand in hand and all the money you save as camping is inexpensive; can be used for eating out. Great, that sorts out the cooking and washing up!

South of Bordeaux, you will find oyster farming and even more wine making, and in Bordeaux itself, the finest wines are made. They are world renowned for their skill in this area, so sampling is an absolute must. Take a day out for some serious win tasting and let the kids enjoy themselves with organized kids activities at the camping resort.
