It's a bit much to have to go to the middle of Wales to find a decent campsite. I suppose they have those Weeeelsh people there who speak with a funny accent. Dunno if I could deal with that.
Still Ellie would like it, 'cos they have paragliding locally.
Does look nice though.

I live in Devon, I'm not a Devonian, I'm really frightfully posh and have an accent to match. That's why I often call people 'old bean'!

Is your real name Farquhar? That all depends on how one pronounces it.

I have decided that one of the main reasons I dislike campsites is because of the people on them. We stayed on one in a remote part of the Dordogne once for a few days. It was €11 on the ACSI scheme. It was late September (yes I really should have been back at school) and the weather was superb. 28c and cloudless skies. We found the place on the scooter in the back of beyond. The owners were trying desperately hard to get us to come and stay and we liked them so we did. When we arrived they told us there were 5 other guests (on a 200 pitch site) 4 Brits and a Dutch couple, would we like to pitch near them? No says I, as far away as possible. So that's what we did. Had a whole area to ourselves, a lake to row the dinghy on and an empty swimming pool. It was bliss but I can imagine it being hell in high season. We did run into the 4 Brits now and again but they reminded me of why I hate sites. The first conversation (and the last) I had in the pool with this gushing women Tugger went like this. Woman "Oooh we come here every year, same place, same time for 3 whole weeks. Where have you been and where have you stayed" Me "errr. All over, 6 countries, been out 5 months. Mainly wilding or Aires etc" Woman "Oooh you don't want to do that! We know someone who was Gassed doing that kind of thing!" Me "Blimey!! Thanks for that, Christ we have been lucky then, Bye" Imagine that x 100 high season. I know you won't believe this Barry But I have only just read this thread and your reasons for not liking camp sites. Thinking back on one of my posts on OAL earlier today it looks as though I nicked your script. I promise I didn't though. For me that confirms that it is the people, but obviously (Kay) only the pushy ones who will corner you in order to deliver a lecture on a topic they know fuck all about at the drop of a hat. Although why they go around dropping hats is anybody's guess.

I tried googling but got no hits. I did find a parasol on ebay though, so it wasn't a waste of time.
