Sounds to me like she never really wanted to go camping in the first place and certainly did little research.
exactly my point. i'm rather pleased they didn't write a article highlighting the beauty of camping - keeps the best spots a secret
------------- And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

Hmmm, not sure I'd call it 'interesting'.... but I suppose it's mildly entertaining if you like that sort of whingeing threnody.
But the tale of bad luck (and sheer incompetence) is undermined by exaggeration, journalistic licence and the near-hysterical tone (all that talk of 'popping sleeping pills', laying awake all night, fields awash with vomit and urine etc).
The author, a journalist, has written other fright pieces for the Mail - how sleeping pills make you lose your money, how terrifying car journeys are ...
Still, given the piece appeared in the Daily Mail it's a wonder the article didn't also claim that camping causes cancer, tents attract illegal immigrants and campsites lower house prices
I admit, 'interesting' was not the best way to describe the article

Anyone who goes camping in a dress hasn't read the book and probably comes from London.
erm, I'm definitely not from London but I often wear a frock if the weather is fitting . I have now got a few flat shoes (well trainers and flip flops) but still happy in heals and proud to say I walked around St Micheals Mount in heals with no problems
