Camping abroad can be a daunting prospect. Not only are you stuck in a rickety tent miles from anywhere on a godforsaken strip of land in the middle of Europe, no one can understand you and neither can you them. I personally have never experienced the joys of a European jaunt but I hear good things about them.In the interests of science and pure curiosity therefore I decided to look into what would be involved in setting off for a camping trip around Europe. The first thing one must consider is budget; nowadays everybody is very poor and therefore one must choose a location that is not only close enough to reach without extravagant cost, but one in which items necessary to a camping trip are not ridiculously overpriced.This leaves you with a relatively limited number of options. All of the Mediterranean countries are in simply through climate, but the further east you travel the colder it gets so there is a magic cut off line around Germany.

Now, let me be quite clear here, cycling holidays are not my idea of fun. Horribly...more

If you're flying from the UK and you're planning on parking at Gatwick it pays to book in advance through a company such as Essential Travel they offer up to 60% discount on the list price of Gatwick Airport Parking. Danger: Hot Water!Iceland is situated on a geothermal hotspot and the islanders use this very much to their advantage with Geothermal power plants supplying much of the islands electricity and hot water pumped straight into the home already pre-heated.
