He likes his creature comforts and he worries about the cold and if truth be told he is scared of creapy crawlies. He is such a baby I'm not sure if staying in a caravan counts as camping we have done that quite a few times. Thank you for sharing your wonderful break .I love the image of that roaring fire.Heldaslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892532052557534526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-90964385731111237332015-10-24T18:43:37.135+01:002015-10-24T18:43:37.135+01:00Wonderful to go on your travels with you in this w...Wonderful to go on your travels with you in this way!

Did climb half way up Snowdon once though - it is beautiful so round there.

Loved the sculpted yew trees, and all the photos of Powis Castle....especially love the pictures of peacocks, we used to have one nearby - I do miss the screech they make! Camping - did it as a youngster, couldn't do it now, especially not crawling about! Hope the mat Christina recommends helps.

Wonderful photos, I particularly like the recycling rhino. As for staying warm when camping, I am somewhat of an expert (more like obsessed).... I have been suffering from cold for years until I have invested in a super duper mat with an insulation value of 9.5 (this is very high). It is this one I think (http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/Exped_SIM_Comfort_Sleeping_Mat/?SelectedItem=660131). It is expensive but worth every pound. Before the mat, even my Antarctic expedition down sleeping bag was not good enough to keep me warm. Hope you'll enjoy many more fun camping holidays. xChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421765095685595073.post-22641937164033381302015-10-22T21:03:39.518+01:002015-10-22T21:03:39.518+01:00What beautiful photos - the castles and landscapin...What beautiful photos - the castles and landscaping were truly magnificent!
