Camping: Explore the great outdoors with family and friends (National Trust History & Heritage) - Softcover

This is a practical and inspirational guide to camping. It's about getting outside and enjoying the Great British Outdoors, whether you want to do it under canvas or in a glamorous yurt. As well as a guide to all the locations and types of campsite the National Trust has - many in stunning scenery - there's information about everything from the best kind of tent to what kind of boots will keep blisters at bay. There's also a brilliant range of recipes that you can cook outdoors, even pizzas and cakes, so you can eat like a king in the wilderness. There are games and outdoor adventures for all ages - pond-dipping and tracking wildlife get you up close to nature, while kite-flying and building a woodland den brings out the adventurer in everyone.
