Camping.
  • Buy one of these and you will not require a tent. You can even use it as a boat in emergencies.
  • Might struggle to get the kids and the misses in but it's a competitive price.

    Spent many a weekend camping and getting seriously drunk on Shell Island in Wales. The sand dunes and beaches are brilliant so I plan to do more sober trips there when Elliot is a bit older. There's some great secluded camping spots where you feel like you're on there alone.

    Tents are just out of shot. You have loads of space to yourself.

  • I was amazed how many people last year succumbed to the, don't barbecue in or near the entrance of your tent due to carbon monoxide fumes. Natural selection.

    We do quite a lot of camping, I don't mind it at all, last two years with the motorbike we had to go hotel sometimes though. (Due to bad weather, I wasn't enjoying sleeping in a tent while it was just above 0 degrees, after a long day through de French Alpes, which was quite chilly as well, or due to motor problems, if you're in a city, with a bike that hardly does anything, you're not going to look for a camping. Not when you're close to Monaco (I forgot the name of the city where we stranded))
    Most important things are indeed a knife (we have a swiss army knife, huntsman lite. It has a light, which can be useful, and we use it for all the food on the road. Cans of ravioli, French cheeses, French sausages, bottle of wine, fruit. 
    We've been camping very basic, when there are two people on one motorbike, there isn't much else you can take with you to going out with other people, were most other will have a car. Coffee first thing in the morning can be quite luxurious then, on the motorbike we always have to find a little bar for some coffee.

    This is a couple of years ago, when we still had the silver Vespa:

    It's somewhere in the North of France, and we just survived some massive rainstorm, you really saw the water rise in the streets, so we had to hide for an hour till it was all over, and then went to the first camping we found. Was a strange one, it seemed to be full of people that just lived there for the summer, hardly any travellers.

    A few from Freewheels, a motorbike event close by Clemont Ferrand, think that was about 3 years ago:

    For some reason the grass stayed kinda good in this area, might have been a reserved part.

    Ah sunset, you'd better be closeby your tent by now, navigating it a night could be a pain in the ass, with all those bike around.

    And that's how most of the campsite looked like.

    And that is something we do with Bas his family and their friends almost every year. No clue what's gonna happen this year, as the camping doesn't exist anymore.

    One other thing that's quite useful to take with you, a small laundry line(specially when you go for more than a few days). We have one that's elastic, and is a double one, so you can fit clothes between it, no need for pegs. Reduces the amount of clothes you need to take with you, and means you don't have tons of laundry when you're home again.

Howdy, Stranger!
