href="http://www.gocampinguk.co.uk/">camping holidays</a> the easy way, a pre-erected tent, served with electric, a fridge, lighting&#8230;yes, that will do nicely, he thinks.</p><p>Unknown to him is that our city slicker is about to undergo some form of sensual retraining during their camping holiday.  Having raged at every last geriatric driver drifting along the Norfolk roads at 20mph they turn up for their camping holiday to find that things are not quite what they imagined.  No signal on the phone is a bad omen and there appears to be a lack of en-suite bathroom to the tent.  With pressure growing, how will the family react&#8230;how will his preen teen daughter survive if they can’t text (or straighten her hair!)</p><p>Of course there is little to fear, the blankness of the phone is a blessing and camping holidays seem to bring out a nicer side, not just for him but for his family too.  The rituals of city life are left behind and replaced with a carefree abandon that they know no one back at home will care to understand.</p><p>The serious point being made is that camping holidays, through their very nature of being different, often brings out a different side to people.   It is for this reason that all people, not just ‘city people’enjoy camping?  (although perhaps urbanites are the group of people who experience the greatest change) Perhaps camping simply appeals to those who seek a new challenge or a varied life.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.articleslane.com/are-camping-holidays-for-city-dwellers/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
