Another big night out!

Another big night out!

With the fantastic weather we decided to do another night out with a few friends. A day spent climbing followed by a walk up to the Cheserys meant we were ready for a good night's sleep. After pitching we treated ourselves to a little Firepot.  (It really does taste so much better than other dehydrated food and they have a good vegetarian range).   Again we were treated by the company of marmots and the magnificent bucatan.  It was a warm, balmy night, but with a clear sky. After sitting out chatting under the stars we all slept well, waking early for...

Big night out

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.

Camping above sunset beach

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

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...
