How do you feel when

I was just thinking about, how do you feel when you have been away wild camping and its time to pack up and head for home.
I myself get a little bit down in the dumps and the closer i get to home and the concrete jungle the sadder i feel :(, but then i know i can always look forward to the next time away :D.
Just wondered if i am the only one that feels like that :eek:.
 
i feel the same way trev, i hate leavin to go home to the rat race,,and the weather allways seems to be a nicer on the day ur goin home ,than the days u arrived ...
 
Aye Hilly then i am not the only one thanks for that mate, and your right about the weather mate.;)

Hi Trevor
Beautiful place, we have been there lots of times due to it being so close, just an hour away, but 'boy' does it rain! Our kids call it wet wales:eek:. We/I love it though.

It is a very nice Place indeed i only wish the sun :cool: could have came out to greet us.
 
Back to the thread subject, I feel down in the dumps too, we are restricted to school holidays, which means we have to cram as much into the six weeks holidays as possible. Most expensive and busiest time!

We dont have that problem now they are all grown up:rolleyes:
 
For me, I can hardly wait to get back home away from all that horrible fresh air, the ghastly scenery, the dank splintery woods, the vertiginous cliffs, the - What on earth am I on about? Nurse, fetch my medication :D

Anglesey? Have a look at Church in the Rocks, Aberfraw; that's really good. Nothing there, very few people about.
South Stack and Porthdafach are also good.
Holyhead should be made ground zero-the only good thing there is the ferry to Ireland (especially since the South Stack PH was closed :mad: )
 
church in the rocks

that's sort of put the picture on here... Don't get cut off by the tide. It is really dangerous to try and get back if you do get cut off. You are safer waiting for the tide to turn. There some very bad rip currents in that little bay

Back in the 1960's on the way back from an Irish tour I broke down in Wales, at that time everthing any everywhere was covered by either coal dust or sheep but the people were wonderful, I slept in the van overnight on the garage forecourt and was woken in the morning with coffee and a cooked breakfast, even though I had run out of cash and no chequebook or card the repairs were carried out and I was sent on my way having promised to send payment on my return. Hows that for hospitality. When I went back after the pits had closed I went to college in Llanelli, and stayed there for a year. The countryside and villages had changed beyond recognition but the people had not. To hell with the weather it's the people that count.
 
I hate having to go home too. Just back from wild camping up Kyle of Tongue---fantastic scenery and no people ! Its quite a shock to come back to traffic etc-- cant wait till next trip away !
 
Working on construction projects in outback Australia, we would take off bush-camping in our Toyota Landcruiser whenever we could, even if only for a night - sometimes we'd drive 300 km for a swim at the nearest billabong (waterhole); huge skies, huger sunsets and sunrises, steak over an open fire, the odd beverage, not another soul around for 100km...really awful it was. ( I won't mention the snakes, spiders, scorpions, centipedes...)
The drive back to civilisation(?) was always a bit of a downer, knowing that dust, flies, long hours, dust and more flies were waiting; and we wouldn't be able to get away for at least another four weeks.
It was these magic trips that kept us sane though - the short downer is a small price to pay...
