Big night out
A hike up to the Cheserys, near Lac Blanc in the early evening with a hike tent, a couple of Firepots and a PACMAT for a mini adventure. After the walk up it ended up being quite late to pitch the tent by headtorch! Home sweet home (for the night) with a London Parks Ordnance Survey extension. After a very comfortable night, we woke to the dawn. Followed by a walk up to Lac Blanc, a cup of tea and piece of myrtille cake, a swim to freshen up and a walk back down to the valley.

Camping above sunset beach
We loved Gwynver beach so much we decided to camp for a few nights right above at Trevedrafarm. It's an amazing spot, with a sea view, just a short walk from the beach. . (The picnic bench was a lucky find - The PACMAT made a perfect table cloth). After a day on the beach, it's easy to head back to camp to clean up and have supper before going back down to the beach to enjoy the last of the day and the fabulous sunset. .
Camping near Rame
After several months of lock down in the city it felt great to head out of town to Cornwall. We arrived just in time to be pitched for sunset. Maker Camp is a wonderful quiet spot above the village of Kingsand, not far from the wilds of Whitsand beach. It's run by the Rame Conservation Trust with beautiful views and natural areas. We set up our tipi tent for us and the dog and a small hike tent for the kids, with its extention using the Ordnance Survey Lake District PACMAT. Basil, the dog, had his own camping bed with the PACMAT Deluxe to keep...
Social distanced family camping
Our eldest was asked to go on a camping trip with a friend last weekend, so she took her own little Vango hike tent. It's perfect for strapping onto the bottom of her rucksack, easy to pitch and cosy for one. To add an extension she took a Gabby Malpas PACMAT Poppy This gave space for friends visiting (pictured above) and made a good place to put her stuff to keep it dry while she took the tent down. They had a great time, if not a lot of sleep. Here's a picture at dawn.
Out and about in Norway
In Norway things are starting to ease. Quarantine measures are lifting. People are now allowed out in groups no more than five people. My nephew took the opportunity to go for a two day hike ten miles out of Oslo. He took a PACMAT with him big enough for all of them. Check out our XXL, supersized picnic blankets here.
