Been a few years since I've taken the girls proper camping. The girls (9 & 11) were going to rough it inder the fly for the night but only the 11 year old decided to actually do it.

Bit chilly, but a good time was had by all.

Best memories of my childhood were camping out in the wild with my family.

    Where'd you go? There's not many places you can have a fire anymore.

    There is are fire pits at this camp site, there is a posted 'camping permitted, no fires' sign for the overflow in the private land next door.

    Roughing it under a tarp? Was pretty cold for the past two nights! Well done!

    Nice, looks like you had a good time!

    I spent too long working out what word "thake" was supposed to be, and I'm still not sure 😅
