If you don't like camping so much you should've joined the Brownies...
Eviltwin, many a true word... I thought I had finished with camping when I got chucked out of the boy scouts for smoking and (worse) using my lighter to light a camp fire. You don't have to train to live rough (except in the survival and E&E context), you just have to endure it, when necessary. And It takes a lot of convincing me that, having paid for squillions of yards of concrete, and tonnes of bulk fuel installations, and all the engineering and avionic support, they cannot afford anything more substantial than tents for people to live in. There is no virtue in pigging it; the Treaasury civil servants would not tolerate it for a minute! Keep whingeing chaps!
