Tenting Part 3

Why? Why do I hate camping so much?

The last time it was a combination of things:

• Being in a tent
• Being afraid that I would kill myself if I attempted to use the camping stove.
• Not being able to sleep.
• The overall uncomfortableness of it.
• Having to stay alert to catch Jude when he decided to get up at random points in the night to (very sensibly) try and get out.
• The aching feeling that, somewhere, there was an actual room with a bed in it that I was supposed to be in.
• The anti-empathic feeling you get when everyone else is seriously into something and you’re not.
• The noise of massed stupid people nearby.
• The pounding rain and wind.
• Having to get dressed to go to a toilet.
• Just… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Everything!
