A rainy night in Paradise, well Gran Paradiso National Park, to be precise. Getting in training for home I guess. Camping in the rain. Wasn't heavy enough to test the tent for irish conditions though. We remain confident camping will be possible...with the addition of wellies and rain-gear!
But we had our dinner in the tent, 5 adults...with 3 kids asleep in the same tent.
A bbq is challenging in the the rain...The Jones's camping gaz stove was definitely more impressive,effective and nourishing in these conditions. So anyone looking for up-coming birthday ideas for hubby! No pressure.
The first night the dog kept waking us, growling and worrying about something. I was not very appreciative of her protective instincts. Anyhoo the second night as I brushed my teeth in the rain and spat into the ditch in the dark...a fox came walking through the tents, calm as you like, and got to about 10ft of me before my dog spotted this trespasser from the previous night, and lept after it. The fox heeled around and fled crashing into a near-by tent and escaping into the forest. The occupants of the tent, didn't get out to investigate the low-level crash. So the next day as hardy climbing types emerged from it I explained what went bump in the night.
EDITED TO ADD:
The potty was fantastic...bring one, bring one...even if you only pretend its for the kids :)
