If you're gonna go camping, you can't beat doing it the good old fashioned way, sleeping bags, gas lamps, luggable loos! That is until you get ill like me and then a 20 year old caravan works just as well.

I think it's more than £500 per week if I'm reading it right.

We did it for the last 2 years at Osbaston Farm. Brilliant experience and theres loads to do in the area for the kids.

Highly recommended - the "tents" are unbelievably comfortable and you really don't miss not having electrickery.

Depends what you can afford I guess.

It's a fad ... for the sort of people who drink spritzers or lager top.
You know, the sort of people who like banana smoothies and don't eat their crusts.
The type who skip starters to "save themselves for a dessert".

Pfft.

Starters are over-rated, desserts is where its at.
And the coffee course, with cake.
