Beautiful Lochranza on Arran
Spring seems to have crept upon us like the proverbial..... I'm not sure what, and then, before we know it, Easter is around the corner and the first Bank Holiday of the camping season has yet to be booked.
Now, maybe it's because, until the last couple of days, it is has been somewhat miserable and really quite cold of late and the idea of camping may border on the ridiculous. However, if you have a look around you'll notice that daffodils are sprouting everywhere, birds are being quite vocal and you may have just slightly caught the sun on your face a little over the weekend?
This can only mean 7 things.....
1. get your tent out of the garage / attic / cupboard / back of van * (delete as applicable);
2. make sure it still functions;
3. get on the phone / email / social network of your choice to some friends and family;
4. find some good campsite candidates on Campingninja;
5. share the selection with your friends;
6. book your pitch;
7.feel pleased with yourself and get excited about your trip in a few weeks time!
In the words of the Jackson 5.... "ABC..... easy as 1,2,3"....
