As heatwaves become longer and more prolific, more of us are looking for ways to sleep when our bedrooms are too hot and stuffy. Air Conditioning is both costly and actually makes matters worse in the long run. So what about an alternative?
If you're able bodied and can spare a few hundred pounds, then purchasing camping gear and escaping to the coast is a realistic proposition.
Join me as I travel to Normans Bay Camping and Caravanning Club Site with my two Jack Russell Terriers, Dougal and Ted, as we enjoy a seaside camping trip.
One of the great things about camping is its simplicity, and the way you slow down and relax into a very chilled groove, very quickly.
For me this was my first camping trip with my new Vango Tahoe 400 Tent, having been so impressed with the Vango Tay 400 I had bought a few weeks before. I had bought the Tay 400 for overnight trips, but got hooked so quickly on the ease and simplicity of camping, I decided to go for a tent with a separate seating area that I could use on longer trips, or if it was raining.
If you are thinking of setting yourself up with some camping gear, I highly recommend WM Camping for great prices and fantastic service, and they are currently offering free delivery on orders over £100. Check them out at https://wmcamping.co.uk/
I also highly recommend Vango tents. In my experience they offer a phenomenal quality to price ratio. Check them out at WM Camping, or at https://www.vango.co.uk/
We stayed at Normans Bay Camping and Caravanning Site. As a member of the Club, I did not have to pay a non-member fee. You can find out more at https://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/campsites/uk/east-sussex/pevensey/normans-bay-camping-and-caravanning-club-site/
For lunch we went to the Castle Inn in Pevensey. Find out more at http://www.castleinnpevenseybay.co.uk/
