The final camping trip of the summer was to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, 12-15 August. We camped with the Griffiths/Prentons and the Peppes and Kitty (Scotland) and the Hendriks (Amsterdam), so it seemed fairly central. The campsite (Mason’s at Appletreewick) was brilliant – on the river, just a couple of minutes from two pubs, and [...]
We spent the last weekend of July camping in Norfolk. We stayed in the back garden of the Duke pub in Bacton. Nick, Nadege and Noe camped with us, and my Mum & Dad (in their motorhome) and sister (in our tent) stayed on the Saturday night.
Pip, Liz, the girls and I went [...]
We spent the last weekend of September camping, at an unusual campsite in Sussex. It must be the only Montessori farm-school teaching Christian Science, with a campsite, in the UK.
Inaccessible by car, a tractor took all our stuff into the wooded valley with space for around eight tents. We set up our three tents [...]
Our second annual Highlands trip was at the end of April 2010, to Dundonnell and Fisherfield Forest, near Ullapool in Wester Ross, the Scottish Highlands.
Gin, Ol, Kitty, Griff and I (Pip was in a play in London so had to stay behind with the Grandparents for support) planned three nights of [...]
Pip, Laurie and I spent our last free weekend before we’re in the drop-zone by going camping as a family of three for the last time. As it was the Tilmanstone Church Fete that weekend we camped outside Folkestone, and my Mum & Dad came in their motor-home as well.
We had a very English [...]
Over May Bank Holiday, I walked around the Rough Bounds of Knoydart in the Western Highlands, with Ginny, Griff, Kitty and Swetty. The Knoydart Peninsula is the most isolated part of mainland Britain, and is only accessible by either driving 21 miles down Britain’s longest dead-end road then walking in for two days, or by [...]
Ben amd Fran became the Orsons on 16th August 2008 in Swansea.
We camped in the Gower – they don’t make websites like this any more – with Andy, Beulah and Aiofe. It rained a lot. We took the babies to the wedding too, the girls got on great.
Afterwards at midnight back [...]
Err, sorry, we’ve been a bit busy.
Anyway, here’s the whole summer (now officially over – I needed bike lights on the way home from work tonight) presented for your convenience in a single post.
We’ve been to three weddings – Mark & Tania’s, Ben & Fran’s, and Dom & Asia’s.
We’ve been [...]
We took our new tent, our not so new daughter and a lot of other clobber to join the Dive Club camping down near Lyme Regis. It was a lovely long weekend and weather mostly bad just at night. Dad and Ginny and our star blog checker Helen came with us. Barn did some diving [...]
