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!

OK Anne, no need to apologise - I know you were just just letting off steam.
When I met my partner in the long hot summer of 76 we were on an archaeological dig and we lived in a tent for ten weeks. Then we used to go camping most summers but as we got older it was interspersed with nights in hotels - saving up for a few nights meant we could stay in some interesting places such as converted monasteries and grand houses in Spain. Now we have a motorhome which is just like a little house on wheels but doesn't need to be towed like a caravan. So it's not all roughing it!
