When we recently did the next phase of the Wayfarers Walk, we didn’t think we’d need to watch out for sharks in rural hampshire!! Read about it here: Hinton Ampner
Bell tents aren’t only for camping!
In our last post we confessed that we hadn’t camped as much as we’d like to last summer, but that our tent had been up to other things. Turns out bell tents aren’t only useful for camping in…
One of the goats had the honour of being her sister’s bridesmaid this summer and with that came responsibilities for a hen party. With the help of a party decorator Sandy the Bell Tent and Gary the Gazebo were transformed into a stylish venue for a garden hen party!

2021 season
We may not have done much blogging, but we did fit in a bit of camping – mainly revisiting old favourites.
This summer we went to Climping in West Sussex , Bridport in Dorset, Kent twice – near Marden and near Crowburgh and finished off with one of our favourites near Andover in Hampshire.
All the reviews are up to date if you want to plan your trip for next year.
In the next post we’ll show you what our tent was up to when we weren’t camping…

Back on track
After a bit of a break from blogging and an even longer one from the Wayfarers path, we are back on track!
We made the most of the beautiful October weather this weekend and walked the next stretch of the Wayfarers around Cheriton and Tichbourne.

Recycling your camping gear
Camping can be a ‘green’ way to holiday, but your choices can make a difference to how eco it is.
I was pleased to see this advert in my local Cotswold Outdoors store.
The man workng there explained to me that good stuff is reused by charities and other stuff is broken down into it’s constituent parts and recycled. Apparently shoes become that spongy surfacing in playgrounds!
I’ll have to have a rumage in my loft and see what I can recycle!

Wild mountain goats
A guest post for you this week – can you believe I’m related to these mountain goats?
Most of their adventures sound harrowing to me, but this one sounded fun – I think you’ll like reading about it too!

This has taken some planning, the main challenge being how to pack so that 2 adults can carry most of what is needed for 6 people to camp overnight and enjoy a day in the hills! 1,764 more words

Old Bidlake Farm
Here is our review of our latest campsite stay – Old Bidlake Farm in Dorset.
We had a lovely stay and enjoyed being near the sea. We hope to go again sometime and next time to stay longer.

Henrietta’s day out!
Regular blog followers will already have met Henrietta who comes on every camping trip with us. She particularly enjoyed our latest trip as she got to have her own little outing and made some friends!!
Needless to say, Henrietta thought this was a wonderful camping trip! We’ll tell you what the goats made of it in the next blog post.

Conflagrations are in order!
How else would a goat celebrate a special birthday, than with a fire?! (In a new fire pit!)

Top camping tip #2
Here’s another top camping tip idea we came up with recently… pack a thermos flask to save hot water!
Nothing happens quickly on a campsite, but boiling the kettle seems to take forever! We spend a LOT of time waiting for the kettle to boil… although perhaps thats because we spend a lot of time drinking tea and coffee!?!
Once it has boiled, put any hot water you don’t use into a thermos flask. It will stay warm enough for washing up, or if you want another cuppa later, then using warm water in the kettle will save precious camping gas!!
