Boys, boys....

Lets just agree that camping is cool and the Tony is simply missing out ;-)

Bloody cyclists riding on the pavement!

Ian - Do you find it a little far for a week? Driving all that way, tent up and down and drive back in a week sounds like an awful lot of trouble for me.

And you don't realise how hard it has been twisting Mrs W's arm :D

I would like to camp in the south of france, we did this some years ago in a pre erected tent by coach. But i don't think i could do the drive with all associated gear.
We will be camping in cornwall this year and maybe a few other spots in june/july. We were hoping to break out the canvas at easter but i fear it may be too cold so we are currently looking at a week in Spain or the Canaries instead.
Windsurfing, as already mentioned, sounds interesting.....i may the give that a whirl! i hear Fuerteventura may be the place for that!

Where do you go rafting? I want to try this but if i am i want to do a decent run and not some rubbish stream somewhere.
if i am going to do something, i want to do it right!

I find gardening a chore, ours is tiny and we often fall out about who's responsibility it is!

I tried that once and it really freaked me out.I had a major panic attack at abput 10 meters as it suddenly felt very unnatural. I dont this the face mask helped at all as i can be slightly claustrophobic.

Learning to stop parallel was one of those things i needed to learn first as it looks a lot more elegant than ploughing.
Having said that though the plough still comes into play a lot, you will even see the pro's use it from time to time.
