>>I'd love to go wilderness camping like you can in Canada and the US. Trouble is there is very little wilderness in the UK, and that's practically all up in Scotland, where you get bitten raw by the midges. Every sq m of land in England is owned by and known by someone. We don't get so many crystal clear mountain streams to wash and water from.

>One of my favorite experiences travelling was hiking the Welsh coast 15 years ago. Hiking during the day... stopping at pubs and tea houses. Camping illegally in the rough under castles... civilized.

I'd hardly call the manicured lawns around a castle (which are usually situated in populated areas anyway -at least the ones I've been to: Ruddlyn, Beamaris, Conway, Caernarfon, et al) "the rough"! You hardly encounter wolves or bears!

>>Anyways, talk about convenience "camping" - tell me which continent the Winabego comes from, with its swivel lounge seat for the driver, bedrooms, bathrooms, TVs, HiFi, carpets, etc. You rarely see them (or smaller less ostentatious variants) over here or at camp sites (and then it;s the French, Dutch and Germans that have them)

>I'm unfamiliar with this Winnebago and this singer you call Celin Dion.

Don't understand the joke here (besides, perhaps my spelling) and who mentioned Celin Dion??????
