Bibsnbots - 'Scuse my ignorance, but what's MTB?

My dream camp is where I could just think of me for a bl**dy change and not the rest of my family

Sorry - moan over.

Mmm, somewhere scenic, somewhere I haven't been before, quiet/small campsites in interesting settings . . .    I'll have to start thinking about this. Planning the following year's trip is a great way to spend the winter.

France...Dordogne probably.
Cornwall
The usual trips to Wales


I have a crazy idea for a trip to the USA but it probably won't be possible to pay for all the flights :)

Gotta get my tent back to Nantcol Waterfalls!  That place is divine!

And Rynys in Snowdonia.  Maybe Brecon... hopefully another quick foray into Shropshire.

Would like to get up to Hadrian's Wall, but might not get there next year.

Will hopefully do the usual fortnight in a static in Cornwall.

It's been very difficult getting away this year for health reasons, so hoping to make up for it in 2012.  A great time to camp would be during the Olympics, as the sites should be a little quieter as everyone stays at home, glued to the TV!

I'm so tempted to book an overnight camp early next season at Hopley's, just across the river and up the hill from here!  I'd love to camp so close to home, and that is a lovely site.

Good on ya gal, being a coach

We are would like to try camping by the locks on the Thames

http://www.visitthames.co.uk/text/3160/camping_on_the_river_thames.html

We would like to try the Hurley lock, near Henley but need to carry the gear on to the camping area as there's no access for cars!  Looking for a festival type of trolley to transport our small pyramid tent + kit.  I passed by the lock the other day and it looked really lovely, small, quiet and very pretty


Hi.  If you're after a trolley of sorts, try searching for Carp Barrows on the internet.  They dismantle/fold completely flat so easy to pack in the car and can carry a large amount of kit very easily.  Also, as they're a barrow they go over uneven ground a lot easier than trying to pull a trolley!

My dream would be to camp in New Zealand again, but that won't be happening anytime soon!

Closer to home, I'd like return visits to:
Retreat Farm CS, Essex
Ayr Holiday Park, St Ives, Cornwall
Cartmel Caravan & Camping Park, Cumbria

and places I haven't camped:
Fforest Fields (and North and Mid Wales in general)
Scottish Highlands

Well now, that's a question Rob!!!  I'm not done yet this year though - Peak District this weekend, Langollen in a fortnight!!! I am saving my pennies for a pretty canvas tent, so that I can extend my camping into winter!!!  

I'll be going all over the UK in the search for peace and tranquility in beautiful locations! Mainly at weekends but will have the usual Bank Holiday camping trips! Love Cornwall for longer stays and love Wales & Lake District for shorter stays. Would also like to see more of Yorkshire and The Peak District!!! Gawwwd, so many lovely places.......

I'm planning to go wherever my mood takes me!!  Have not had as many camping trips as I would have liked this year to DIY!!! So, next year I will never be in!!!!

Also planning some solo wild camping trips....that will be interesting!!!!
