Lots of weekends away and the occasional weeks camping gives you the oppotunity to visit more places and more sites untill you find one you really like.

My oh works stupid hours and is based 1.5hrs from home so he is adamant that whatever happens we must have 2 weeks in the sun each year as he's so worn out, so this year we are heading to Italy with our tent in August but we will also be spending a week at Whit in Cornwall and using the bank hols for long weekend breaks.

i've just put in my annual leave for the whole of the year  and put in a two weeker in august..and a few single weeks scattered throughout the rest of the year...lucky for me i work a shift pattern that allows me to have a week off by using only one annual leave...so if i am a bit 'canny' (and i am) and if the boss is a bit lackadaisical (and she is) i can make my annual leave stretch to about 10 weeks.....yay...

although doesn't really make up for the fact that today i have had to walk about 6 miles in the snow and tonight i shall be walking about another 5...oh i wish i had one of those jobs that stop when it snows....

OH has told me that she will go camping with me anywhere if I buy her new walking boots.

Now taking donations towards buying walking boots lol
