I reckon we should all do what Diane has done and go tenting - in the back garden if necessary. So here's my idea. Let's pick a day and all of us tent out for the night and report on the whole thing the next day. And you're not allowed to have the mains supply leading from your house to the tent, nor are you allowed to "pop in" for a tea.

Sorry, which part of this is actually fun?
-
The masochism of it is the fun part. Where's your sense of adventure?
-
It always stopped at masochism.
-
So you didn't even leave the beaten trail, if you'll forgive the pun. I'm on about venturing into the irrational and painful wilds of physical hardship and the lack of a toilet. Dennis would be all for this kind of thing.

Okay, that's one in already. Anyone else?

I don't own a tent.

Does it rain a lot in Scotland?
-
Nope. It's gorgeous...constantly.
-
Bit late but my only recollection of tenting was about 10 years ago in Wales.
Recollection........ Getting a bollocking for leaving the bog roll in the khazi!!
Apparently, you're supposed to bring it back with you......tenting etiquette....my arse!
Never been since!
-
You tent had a khazi? That's quite a tent.
-
No....said Khazi was 500 yards away, past the tents that had blown away at 2:00am in the morning!
Not sure if the issue is Tenting or Wales or both!

Or the people who put up the tents.

If you don't bother in the first place you can't get it wrong!

That reminds me of the Goodies episode where Graham Garden on Tomorrow's World talks about the benefits of string, and that they are used in electrical circuits "that save money on electricity because they don't work".
-
Tell me more about The Goodies, Grandad.
;D ;D ;D
-
Your tent had a khazi?
That's actually illegal. You get a hefty fine for toiletting within tent.

Do you wander through life hearing a continuous groaning sound?

You suffer from IBS too?

Irritating B*****d Syndrome?
I developed that after marriage, apparently.

This is a photo of our tent for inspiration for this fine scheme.
This was in Banff National Park up on Tunnel Mountain. My daughter and I could set up camp in about 30 minutes and that included each of us blowing up a full size airbed at about 10 minutes a time. It did take us longer the first time as when they were new we didn't notice that they had a second opening to let the air out faster. Once we discovered this and put a cap on that end - they went up in a fraction of the time. :)
Also note that I would put a dollar store solar light on the tent string in order to avoid tripping over the strings in the night. Advanced campers do those sorts of things.
-
I wish I lived where you live.
-
It is a lovely province - so many different types of views to look at - really is something for everyone.
-
That's it. Rub it in. :(
-
I think he was asking if you had a spare room, Diane.
-
I thought that was a runway light on the worlds shortest runway. I liked that thought. :(
