Thanks to A.S (he's becoming quite a star on my blog, isn't he?), I got a shot at Glamping the other day. For the uninitiated here's a little gyan about Glamping:
Say, you want to go camping in the wilderness but can't be bothered putting up with bugs, bad weather, sleeping bags and minimalistic food. And say you want space inside your tents. And more than just emergency lamps or noisy Petromax lamps for lighting. Or more than just campfire to keep you warm. Well.. you can want all you want and get it too! Yes! You can get all the comforts of staying at a hotel.. no wait.. make that.. all the comforts of living at home while enjoying the remoteness of beautiful wilderness! Welcome to the world of Glamorous Camping, peeps! The world where you pimp up your tent not just with electricity and the comforts of electricity like lighting and heating but also get a fully-equipped kitchen, separate sleeping quarters.. and a sitting room! Don't say anything about roughing it out in the wild and make me die laughing!
Btw, mine was a self-help family Glamping trip. But apparently, you can also rent a fully set-up Glam tent. Heard that its quite the commercial concept in England. Am I surprised? No. With the weather pissing down (another one of those rude British expressions! GAh!) most of the time, no wonder people improvised the camping concept! I mean, you don't want to stay indoors in a 7 by 4 foot tent space all the time while its pouring cats and dogs outside, do you? If you can't go hiking or walking in the hills, the least you want to so is sit inside and talk about the things you used to do with your friends! Unless, ofcourse you brought a TV along, like our neighbours did, be anti-social and watch it while annoying the next-door campers because its too loud!
Hmmm.. my only regret is that I didn't help set up the tent! Would have loved that!
Here are some pics!
