CAMPING HOLIDAYS

This is our first tent which we had for 5 years and it was 
replaced last year 1999. We usually use it for long weekends 
and the occasional longer break, it sleeps 4 people but we 
tended to use the other side to store things. The picture 
was taken at a camp site in Cornwall at Crantock.


This is our latest tent which is an eight birth but we like it 
because we have plenty of room for the two of us, you can 
stand without bending your head. 
It is pitched in Yorkshire in June 2000.

      FAVOURITE SITES

                             HIDDEN VALLEY
                                           -NORTH DEVON

 Hidden Valley in North Devon is one of our favourite 
camping sites. It is situated in a beautiful wooded valley next
to the A361 road halfway between Mullacott Cross and 
Braunton however the road does not impede on the site it is
secluded from the world. It is a long narrow site and 
therefore a walk to the shop in the morning takes you
through a wooded glade and is pleasant enough to give you a
morning stroll. A stream runs through the site with a large
lake next to the shop so all unwanted bread is welcomed by
the wildfowl. Kingfishers, Herons and Buzzards are not 
uncommon on the site. It is extremely idyllic and in late 
summer you can harvest or eat as you pick, the finest 
Blackberries.
