For those of you unfortunate enough to read my previous post on a camping trip to anglesey 4 years previous this was to be our second attempt at doing the camping thing. The full saga and our adventures will follow in another post but for the time being I ask can anyone beat this for a camping pitch?

The site is in southwest Scotland (you know who you are!) and we were pitched under the tail of a world war 2 bomber. The plane coincidentally was also lit up by a floodlight at night (I can only assume so the nocturnal badgers could get a better view) and if I awoke once I awoke a dozen times thinking it was morning.

Can anyone beat that ?
