Camping was always fine if you got into the spirit of things (and there was a shower and pub), people always seemed to develop new skills to improve life and on longer jobs the camp site always seemed to evolve and take on a life of its own. Building drystone-walled flowerbeds around one's tent always added a bit of colour (and lettuces!) and kept the hurricanes from getting under the flysheet and demolishing the thing in the middle of the night - and apparently the sheep at Stanwick villa used to use them as an island refuge when the campsite flooded during the winter :face-approve:
