I love camping & myself & the missus spend 4-5 weeks every year doing it (camping that is). I've got all the gear too... huge tent with seperate living & sleeping spaces, camping stove, mini BBQ, double air-bed with an adapter that inflates it via the car lighter socket, seperate cooler boxes for the beer, food & wine, wind breakers, camping lights, camping table & chairs, wind-up radio, inflatable pillows... the works!

And there's nowt like it in the world when the sun is shining.

Achill is a beautiful spot - was there last summer, but had terrible weather the first night & ended up staying in a hotel that was without doubt the sh*ttiest place I've stayed in in my entire life.

Micky Dolenz · 29-05-2010 12:50AM

I hate camping and try to avoid it at all cost, although if it were a proper set up like described earlier I may be tempted.

shuvly · 29-05-2010 12:53AM

I camp on my own, at least 3 times a year. Tramore first this year for imelda may, then willie clancy down in spanish point..a field with a view of the sea when I wake up...and about n twentty cows...then onto doolin..then I have to go to Cavan in august...

Gordon · 29-05-2010 12:58AM

The term always sounded too much like a sexual practice to me, so I never got into it.

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 29-05-2010 12:59AM

I never camped as a young 'un and then in the last year I spent about 3 motnhs camping. Great craic though, especially if you're on the move and decide f*** the campsites, just find a 'quiet spot'

I have yet to come across a 'quiet spot' where you can actually hammer down all the pegs of your tent, it usually tries to blow away but thats half the craic

Oh, and an obligatory moment in every camping trip is firing a tin of beans into the fire to try to recreate that 'Into the West' moment

shuvly · 29-05-2010 01:02AM

Ah God/Gord ...am sure you would take to it if ye got the right pole...its all in the hammerin...

I've a similar one to that - you can't beat a decent tent! Best of luck with the fishing!

minidazzler · 29-05-2010 01:39AM

AH camping trip sounds interesting.....on a beach somewhere...problems lie in the fact that we have at least 7 serial rapist (Hai snyper, I know you haven't raped in 15 months, but still) and 3 killers on here waiting for such an even to occur.

Can one just camp anywhere? Within reason. Say take off into the Mayo Bog and pitch a tent or some random place by the sea?

On any public land really as long as you don't obstruct traffic.

On private land it's not illegal unless they decide randomly it is TBH.

Yes. But you gotta remember that someone owns the land, so you could be moved on by the owner / council.

Also - no toilet or shower facilities! (besides the bushes & rain)

I found on the east coast there is to many bylaw preventing this and that. conservationist stopping the public from enjoying the nice bits. Hill walkers alway walking by . And even the nice bits are really badly polluted with dirty sea water or burnt out cars. There is just to many people.

Go west. Sand dunes or bog. Pick the right area and you are guaranteed the best views, no public and clean beaches. the craic we have had in donegal over the years has been the best days ever.

I always found that a knock on a door of the nearest farm house requesting to camp has never been refused. As long as you leave it like ya found it.
