This campfire chef has a new apron!
“Life is better under the stars and around the campfire”
I agree!!
Thank you to the follower who gave me it. Better start preparing the menu for our next trip!

Putting walking to the Test
On our latest section of the Wayfarers Walk, we went in search of the source of the River Test!
Read all about it and see our pictures.

The camping season is far from over
The camping season needn’t end with the school holidays! So far, the weather in September has been lovely for camping and we took the opportunity to try out another new site, Cedar Valley.
It’s a small site, so it felt a bit crowded, but we quite liked it – see how we scored it.
Some pictures from our trip:
We have plans to squeeze in another September camping trip to another new campsite – we’ll keep you posted how we get on!

Takes the biscuit
I love cooking over the campfire and I’m always up for a new challenge. I’ve done stews, puddings, cakes and bread…so this summer I thought I’d try biscuits!!!
They were fairly successful, but could do with bit more perfecting yet!

Don’t forget…
Most camping trips we forget something. Last time it was the coffee. Other times we’ve forgotten less important things like a sleeping mat or the tent pole!
The organised goat learnt from this and has lots of lists she double checks. The less-organised goat doesn’t… and it’s a bit of a worry.
When our top follower of this blog heard about this, she took matters into her own hand and compiled a generic camping packing list. Here it is to help you pack too:
Shelter
- Tent
- Tent poles
- pegs
- mallet
- Gazebo
- Chair
- Bedding
- Sleeping mat
- Sleeping bag
- Sleeping bag liner
- Pillow
- Hot Water Bottle
- Eye mask
Clothes
- Flipflops
- Wellies
- Pyjamas
- Hat
- fingerless gloves
- body warmer or fleece
- waterproofs (including trousers)
- underwear
- spare trousers
- spare top
- Jumper
Toiletries
- toothbrush
- toothpaste
- hair brush
- baby wipes

Miscellaneous
- Lantern
- Headtorch
- Penknife
- Sunglasses

- insect repellent
- map
- hand sanitizer

The obvious thing that is missing from this list are food and drink… but those are whole other lists of their own!!
Hopefully now nothing will be forgotten on your next trip either!
Happy camping
