And as for wet ramblers - would you like to be denied access to a nice warm pub after you got caught in the rain doing a healthy hike? Many hostelries were originally set up to cater for weary travellers and it's good to see them still fulfilling this function today.

Sorry Susie, I'm not mean honestly! As for the camping I can understand families with children doing it, likewise caravanners. But people of my age who try to persuade me how wonderful and glamorous it is in the hope I might take it up myself - it's just not going to happen! I would say to them just do your camping and don't try to convert! And please Susie carry on enjoying your camping for as long as you want, even though I can't ever understand why you'd want to when you've a perfectly good home to live in!
Ramblers - no, I haven't really got anything against them either, apart from the fact that they and their equipment and wet clothing seems to take over and speaking from my own experience on several occasions they can be quite rude and bad mannered - I'm not even sure they realise it!
