OK, so the weather's not been brilliant has it?

I'm fairly sure one of the big daily papers was promising a heatwave to hit us later this month. Let's hope so, but in the meantime I wanted to share a few of my previous camping experiences where I've had a really enjoyable time, even if the weather hasn't been great.

This year, I've already been camping a few times in my little two-berth Force Ten tent (which I love - it feels like home away from home). Most recently I was at Keswick Club Site, pitched about 20ft from Derwentwater with an unobstructed view of the lake and surrounding hills.

Holland (or the Netherlands!) is one of my favourite countries, so imagine my excitement when I was offered the chance to visit it once again to experience and help film, a Carefree Escorted Tour!

Over the course of three days, we managed to cram in lots of exciting experiences – but rather than a versed recollection, here is my top 10 list of all things Dutch:

A big thank you to Tour Escorts, Peter and Beryl for all their help during our trip!

Saturday’s Guardian Money supplement held a reader’s question:

A camping condundrum – is a tent still worthwhile?

so I thought I’d add up some figures to find out.
