• Want to go Mountain biking / dirt biking / climbing / Kayaking in the great outdoors? You sort of need one.

    How far's it going to be to the nearest hotel/B&B though? I've spent plenty of time mountain biking in the great outdoors, and never begrudged half an hour's drive from the local hostelry in return for a proper bed, flush lavatories and a proper cooked breakfast.

  • Depends where you live really - out here it can easily be a couple of hours drive. Last spot I camped, there was literally nothing within a 45 mile, exceptionally twisty radius despite only being a couple of hours from town to get there.

  • That description applies to just about nowhere on this crowded little island, unfortunately. Bears are also a comparative rarity, idiots doing 30mph in campers are not.

  • Depends where you live really

    True. I have no particular desire to leave Europe these days - with the possible exception of Chile. Can't see a camper van making sense in either. And to be honest, if there was 45 miles of sinuous roads between me and the place I wanted to be at, I reckon I'd prefer the 45 miles of sinuous blacktop as a start to the day.
