Alphabet August- S for Sodden Camping

We( I) have a rule. If it's raining when we arrive I stay in the car and he puts up tent, alone. Rule doesn't apply when we de- camp. As I type I'm damp, hair looks like something from Hair Bear Bunch and I have a 3+ hour journey home, to unpack and dry everything out.

Think I'm definitely a Fairweather Camper ⛺

I think I will agree about the fair weather camping - I can't see much joy if the weather is yuk hahahaha

I agree that it is not nice to put up/down the tent, in rainy weather, but isn't there anything cosier and most comforting than the sound of raindrops falling on the tent-material. I love it! Hop you have safe trip home.

My children camping with the grankids at a festival..had some rain..but dry now,,kids loving it though..has be dry for me too.!

[Gillian Brown]

Camping is best done in nice hotels with en-suite bathrooms and comfortable beds.

Look on the bright side you did have some nice days shame it is raining when you are packing up every campers nightmare.

@gillian1912 oh yes!!!!!!!!

[Diana]

Now I finally know why I have never been camping! Glamping would be more my style ;-)

[Sarah Bremner]

Hee hee......Our rule is 'if it's raining when we get there we try to find a B&B! But several stories have been told about the times he has taken the tent down from the inside while I watch from the car!!!
I usually do the drying out stuff too!

[JackieR]

@sarah19 putting up tent in garden to dry it out, tempers fraying
@ludwigsdiana that's still camping Diana

[Hazel]

@gillian1912

That's my definition!

[Joan Robillard]

Thanks for the challenge - always fun to do a forced perceptive photo. I have been using the same challenge - do a quirky food photo.

[JackieR]

@joansmor be hard to beat Lisa!!

[Joan Robillard]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond go a diffrent direction - I didn't dsay a plate of food for you. Do non-food as food say

[Joan Robillard]

I will issue you another if you really want

[JackieR]

@joansmor no thank you, got a vague plan already :)

This brings back memories! Many years ago we had a mini and used to drive it inside the (frame) tent when it rained so we could pack in the dry..until it came to the outer tent!...

[Babs]

Oh I remember camping like this when I was young in the UK. Too old now though. I am more suited to a 5 star hotel or motel these days.

[Paul W. Baker]

Hotels for me :)

[Casablanca]

Ooooh soggy soggy! I have had that cold damp sensation in the bones when setting up or breaking camp in the rain many times too. I started to realise the appeal of a trailer tent at that point.......

[Wendy]

We used to camp lots - but this reminds me of why we stopped!
Great memories here.
