I don't mind the wildlife, it's the snoring, farting and other various noises you hear while camping that keep me awake. That's my reason for a bottle of wine or two before bed.
It all adds to the outdoor experience we all know and love.
Aye, human wild life can be just as entertaining!
Ear plugs are an essential bit of kit for me.....then I can't hear my own snoring....farting....etc
Just back from Mannix Point in Ireland, and we had some wet windy nights... the sort that I lie there and worry about the tent... So eventually at 4am I decided to get up and check the guy ropes.... knelt down to unzip the tent only a small amount, and looked out and about 6 inches away was a dog looking at me that the kids had befriended under our canopy - a labrador - glowing in the darkness. I just screamed and zipped the tent up and decided I could inspect the guy ropes from inside through the windows!!!
My son would love to have a visit from a hedgehog! He's mad on them, he's been collecting stuffed toy hedgehogs since he was 18 months old, he's a member of St Tiggywinkles wildlife hospital.
i got woken by my wife at 2.30 one sunday morning saying "theres someone trying to get in the tent". So after s**ting myself i finally looked out to find a fox rubbing himself all along our tent, must have been scenting or something.
We have seperate bedrooms in our tent so no problems with visitors there but the groundsheet in the living room is not sown in so my hubby just puts his big heavy shoes on the flap that folds under from the door bit & that seems to work (any fairly heavy object should work as long as you remember to move them when trying to get out when half asleep that is!)
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
