Hello All Well for those who didn't know already, we did hop off abroad to find some sun - we had a lovely week just outside Malaga in a beach front hotel - it was very relaxing and very hot! We did a lot of walking every day and really explored the area including a couple of trips into Malaga. We came home and tried our hand at 'wild camping' so we put our new tiny tent in the rucksack, walked to the train station and then took the train to Chichester and hike...

Well we set off to Canterbury on Sunday full of good intentions and itching to get pitching..... The campsite was very small and basic but with beautiful views over the countryside and for 2 nights we had it completely to ourselves.

We left Madrid on Saturday in beautiful sunshine and drove 2 and a half hours North to Abejar which is a tiny village in the Castillo y Leon region. The campsite itself was very pretty, loads of pine trees to camp within and no marked pitches, so we found a pretty little spot for the tent. As it was Easter weekend we knew most of the supermarkets would b...
