1 Two weeks holidays suddenly popped up and at a day’s notice they took off for Scotland. 2 They left London at six in the morning. 3 They managed to cross it around 5 o’clock. 4 The bell heather was in full bloom and the hills had that lovely purple sheen. 5 Most nights they camped in the wildest country without a soul around, sometimes on the heather or on the edge of a pine wood. 6 I t was the unplanned nature of the holiday and the sense of freedom of the whole expedition that made it so memorable. And the weather was good. 7 Camping has always had the particular attraction for them and although in more populous areas they may have to book their camping site, or do more advance planning, it is easily the most open and flexible way to organize a holiday, particularly in places like Scotland. 8 The boys (9 and 11) did. They are city boys,they will grow up with a real love of the countryside. 9 They bought good quality tents, medium-priced sleeping bags and sturdy cooking equipment. 10 There is an excellent monthly journal, Camping and Outdoor Life, which is full of ideas, information and news of other people’s experiences. 11 They should not be noisy at nights,the campers should pay due regard to cleanliness and questions of sanitation and so on. 12 Near such big cities as London, in between the great arterial roads and motorways, there are whole areas of beautiful, quiet and unspoiled countryside. Most Londoners have no idea of these quiet villages and lovely countryside that can be found within 30 miles of Charing Cross, and often much less. 13 The weather, of course, is a problem. Nobody cares much for camping in heavy, driving rain. But it is often possible to have a weekend camp in spring and summer and to feel all the better for it during the coming week.
