Introduction

It's a late summer's evening, the sun is melting to a faint pink glow, and dusk is beginning to cast a magic spell over the campsite. There's a cheerful chatter in the background and the campfire crackles as it tinges the edges of a toasted marshmallow. Your campsite supper on the barbecue was a success and eating outdoors overlooking a great view added to the ambience of an enchanting evening.

Your tent is standing by, the warm and comfy bedding all laid out ready for a cosy night's sleep looks alluring in the torchlight. As sleep prevails over the campsite and that inimitable sound of tent zips echoes in the air, you climb under the soft blankets and allow the gentle sound of the breeze that rustles the tent canvas to send you off into a slumber.

In the morning you awake early to the sound of the birds singing a happy tune. Refreshed and raring to go you find the sun is streaming through the tent, lighting up your canvas world and you can hear the sizzling of bacon drifting in from outside.

Camping is not just a weekend past time, for many it is a way of life – and one that may have been instilled from a young age. Others come to it later in life, learning to appreciate the feeling of being at one with nature, out in the fresh air with the smells, sounds and senses of the outdoor world at your fingertips.

This world is explored within the pages of The Camping Pocket Bible.

With lots of explanations, hints and tips on selecting a tent and camping equipment, how and where to camp, choosing a place to stay, cooking and fun things to do, there is plenty to interest both the first-time and the experienced camper. Sections specifically for camping with children and enjoying the festival experience are included too. And, of course, lots of interesting facts connected with camping and being outdoors.

If you're new to camping, there's lots of information on what to expect and what you're likely to find at a campsite. For more experienced campers, there's plenty to extend your thirst for living life under canvas either at a campsite or elsewhere.

However you enjoy camping, you can consider The Camping Pocket Bible as a trusty friend, to dip into as and when required.
