Camping
« on: June 19, 2013, 18:58:37 »
Hello I enjoyed my first camping trip over the weekend me and a group of other people had a really big field as our campsite it was ina village called Ravenstondale in the Howgell Fells, between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

This is the corner of the site where me and some of the other guys set up our tents



Unfortuntately, one or two of the guys in our group are a bit shy and not to keen on socialising so we followed them over and pitched our tents right at the far corner of the field it felt like miles away from everyone elses tents and from the caravan with the toilets in them as you can see

We did some short walks if I'm being honest I would have liked to have done some longer walks seeing as I've been brought up in a walking family





Enjoying the flowers

It was really great in the evenings as we had a good bonfire going, I dried my boots off by the fire and I learnt form the first night when we had sunshine and downpours throughout the day and evening and when it started raining on the 2nd day I dashed back to my tent with my boots after all there aint no point in ruining the drying effect of the fire with the soaking effect of the rain



We also enjoyed toasting some marshmallows another first for me they ven had some delicious vegetarian marshmallows  :love:



This is the railway station at Kirby Stephen which is a few miles away where we caught the train
