Camping

Hey Mez Amis!

I'm going camping soon in Herefordshire and I love camping. Here's an article on camping!

CAMPING!

Phone

Yep! A phone is obviously important for emergencies, keeping in touch and using the Internet. If your phone doesn't use internet, you could use an iPod touch or tablet. Also good for listening to music out in the fresh air so bring headphones!

Vests and Spare Socks

It might sound strange but vests and socks are important for night-time to keep warm. It gets veeeeery cold at night when you're camping! When I go to the toilet block at night at my camping site, it's so warm in there compared to the outside that I'll stand in the hallway warming myself before going back!

Toiletries

Toiletries are very important! You'll need to bring mini-sized versions though and don't forget your toothbrush and toothpaste.

A Notebook

With a notebook, you can write down what you see, draw pictures, write shopping lists and maybe a journal of the holiday.

11 Reasons to Ditch the City For A Week And Go Camping

1. Food always tastes better when it's cooked out in the open.
2. Get disconnected and keep your brain away from screens! You'll feel all refreshed when you've had a week away from the computer.
3. FRESH AIR!!!
4. It's very relaxing and good stress relief. You can forget about work and jobs for a week because it's all so far away! Get away from the world you know and enjoy yourself.
5. Get some exercise! You can go canoeing, kayaking or on a bike trail.
6. There are so many lovely places to go. You could go to the coast, the middle of the countryside, the mountains, etc.
7. You could go on a road trip around England, Europe or America with a car, some money and a tent.
8. That certain person you want to get away from is nowhere in sight and you can spend some time without them knowing that you're the one  having a great time.
9. Fish and chips by the sea; who could want more?
10. You deserve it.
11. You'll bring home memories, souvenirs and a fresh new attitude.
