tents?...well a certain performer at Otley a few years ago hed his life saved by the dome tent he'd pitched in the Community Hall...I am certain that without it the other indoor campers would have joined forces to separate him from his snore...or his breath!!

Did the experience put me off?...not at all I was back the next year, that time the only space left for me to lay my weary head was on the pool table...

At the foot of my pool table a couple were getting aquainted...very well aquainted...at the other end of the hall a couple shared their sleeping bag with a Yorkshire Terrier that yapped at every disturbance. One intrepid camper had brought a sunlounger which collapsed every time he turned over...yap yap yap...the large group of morris dancers in the next room were awake very late...nipping through the hall for tea at regular intervals(yes I thought it strange...Morris dancers drinking tea!!)...yap yap yap thunderous snore...yap yap yap...some of us never learn....count me in!!
