Giving Motocamping a go.

[Phild]

Finally broke free of Grandad domestic duties, and got away for a couple of nights.

The campsite was on Exmoor, only about 1.5 hours away but my route took 3 hours.🤷‍♂️

The tent was great. Massive space for one, and room to stand up…. Perfect. Two occupants would be cosy but you’d need to be good friends. Three (it’s a three man tent)….. I don’t think so.

Took me a little while to put the tent up, about 30/40 minutes. By the hour mark I’d stowed everything away, put my shorts  and flip flops on, and was sitting having a beer.

Unless there was two sharing the tent, making it easier to put up, I wouldn’t use it for an overnight stay unless you’d had a short days ride and weren’t in any rush.

All in all, a great couple of days. £12 a night with showers / toilets etc. It was a pub with camping, adults only.👍

  Sounds great, I used to camp on Exmoor a lot. With a little more practise I'll bet you would have that tent up in no time. As you said.... Perfect. 

I am on Grandad duties now, looking after my Grandson's dog while he's away in Scotland. I am staying at his Mum's place where he lives. I love the dog, he's a Sharpe but like me he's getting old so I can't walk him as far as I would like to.

The downside to looking after the dog is that I had to come in my car  because I knew I would need it in order to take the him out. The weather has been stunning and I just know by the time I get home it will be raining. Still, that's life and a part of being English.
