When you start wearing crocs, even when you're not camping (cos they're so comfy and easy to slip on and off.

When as soon as Christmas and New Year are over with, you're looking for campsites instead of Christmas pressies

When shopping, especially in the likes of Poundland, Wilkinsons and The Range, you're thinking about how handy things are for camping, such as laundry room products and stacker boxes

When days out include looking for camping shops and camping exhibitions instead of shopping centres and cinema's

When you're either talking about it, planning it or doing it!

Best wishes Sam

When you wander down the local river bank thinking the drainage here is poor no good for my tent when walking the dog

You pack your dog with camp stuff!!



Lol.... My daughter is the driver and she has a Ka, it was bad enough packing the car pre dog, now, we load the back seat with flat stuff, he goes on top of the pile. Then we pack around him. I am the one with knees around my ears and nose to windscreen. He actually gets quite a bit of room :-) I'm not sure he knows we are going away, but when it's a long trip he's back seat, short trips he's in the boot. He curls up and goes to sleep.

I'd have to agree with ChristopherOwens as i too have found myself looking at good spots to pitch when out walking the dogs, even though i mostly walk forestry commission land where they don't approve of you wild camping so it's not going to happen.

When you have a huge field where you work and are constantly dropping hints to the PTA that it would be really cool to do an overnight camp with the children and their parents!

When..having just had a great glamping trip in a shepherds hut, with wood burning stove and all that..you have to go miles out of your way on the journey home, just to look at a particular tent that's similar to one that you've got your eye on
