There's something strangely uplifting about seeing a grown woman cartwheel across a field just because she feels like it...



That's GREAT!! I wish I'd seen her.



Me too - lovely to see people just being fun! I still skip about outside - particularly to embarrass my kids lol!

On holiday a few years ago a family pitched a huge dome tent up late morning and then left the campsite. Later in the afternoon the dad arrived in the back of a Police car and the mom and kids arrived back in the family car. Next morning the mom leaves the site in the back of a Police car and the dad drives him and the kids off the site. Mom or Dad leaving/arriving in a police car continued for a few days until the police escorted them off site.
We have no idea what it was all about.

my daughter and I just stepped out of the shower dressed and drying our hair and an older Lady comes out of the shower saying her knickers were moist.. My daughter was a teenager at the time but waited till the lady left before breaking down in fits of laughter...

another funny one was when this hugh twin axle caravan pulled up sets the caravan up ready for the awning then out comes the garden rake once finished that puts the awning up then out comes a carpet not a ground sheet then out comes the hoover. we sat for over an hour watching it..

We had gone down to Newquey with freinds with teenage kids. must morning a german bloke comes out of his tent no clothes goes into the boot of the car to get clean clothes with tickle tackle hanging low..

These are BRILLIANT!! Please keep them coming, im sat here with tears running down my face!

We went to Whitehills in Devon a few years back, pre children. There was a family next to us in a trailer tent, they were chinese, cooking traditional meals every evening that smelled amazing. Anyway one night, the dad had a "wind" problem and i dont mean the weather. He was trumping ALL night but so loudly! But they were also very loud speakers so everytime he dropped, we laughed, they laughed which made us laugh all the more!!

Immature but very funny!!

Friend and I stayed on a campsite in Freiberg, Germany, and as it was hot took a picnic to the river across the way. Children and adults were bathing. A lady turned up on a bike along the cycleway, parked it by a tree, took off ALL her clothes, and stepped into the deeper water for a cooling wallow. Ten minutes later she came out, didn't see her dry herself, dressed and cycled off.

On another site in France, we were sat having a G&T when a young frenchman turned up and started to put up a tent. we assumed it wasn't his, he struggled. A Dutch couple went to help to no avail. After about 20 mins, I went across, the young man was sitting watching miserable (think he was drunk). The Dutch couple had fared no better with the tent. None of us could speak enough of the other languages. I had a good look, it only had 3 rods, 2 the same and 1 different. Didn't take me and OH long to put it up. The young man crawled in and we didn't see him 'til late the next morning. He gave us a bottle of wine for our trouble.

I remember camping as a child in Aberearon, we had the biggest rain storm I had seen when my dad spotted a man come out of his tent in just his swimming trunks and proceed to take a shower in the middle of the field, with a soap on a rope, (no shower gel them days lol).

Searching my "grey matter" to comment, but having just retired as a medic, very little surprises me! Having intimate knowledge of the male and female body, nudity is nothing! The actions of my fellow humans, similarly, does not shock. I just accept!

I was hiking from Leeds to the lake district when I was 12 with my brother and granddad (all squeezed together in a 2 man tent!!), pitching the tent wherever we could, often relying on the good will of farmers. Unzipped the tent one morning in a random field to find to find myself nose to nose with the biggest cow I've ever seen!!

I was camping in Wiltshire a number of years ago. I returned from a day out to see what looked like a giant racing pigeon carrier parked there. It had four rows of little windows and it was pulling a little trailer.
The trailer turned out to be a camp kitchen. There were about 30 Germans on this transport. They arrived late afternoon, had a meal, brushed their teeth and then disappeared into the pigeon coop. They left about 6am next morning. Didn't hear a peep out of them. Apparently they did this trip around the UK every year. There didn't seem to be any seats on this truck so I presume they slid into the coffin-like compartments to travel and sleep!
