Camping Adventure - Day Eight

Day 8

1108
Catch phrases of the Holiday are blate - (as in chav-slang), shurrup-like - (as in liverpudlian 'shut-up) and camping hysteria! All packed and ready to go. We have decided to take the coast road home to prolong our holiday.

New plan. Still not home yet, were in Brighton and we're gonna stop in good old Eastbourne on the way back to get some food and that before stepping back into reality.

Camping Adventure - Day Seven

Day 7

2100
Charli - We're sitting at our tent in front of a £1.99 fold up barbeque jobby from 'Barnham Trading Post' containing reconstituted barbeque briquettes from the crappy excuse for a Co-op round the corner. It serves no purpose but to keep us warm into the later hours of this our last night at camp. We have also decided to cook marshmallows on 'kebab sticks' fashioned from sticks pulled off a nearby shrubbery. Yum! Its a lovely calm evening after another active day.
We decided to check out the Aviation Museum at Tangmere today. Well worth the visit. Cost us a fiver each, the old men who ran the place were so friendly, very informative and were obviously passionate about the subject. And alot cheaper then friggin Arundel Castle!! (Up your one English Heritage /National Trust people we have foiled your evil plan!! Haha!) Loads of really cool planes and general wartime artefacts along with loads of information and interesting facts about it all. There were flight simulators, (Which Owen was dying to go on - but the queue was full of 5-12 year old so he decided against it. Plus I don't think i could stand the shame and embarrassment of it), and plane engines hooked up to electric to demonstrate how the engines moved and sounded. We really enjoyed it - we were there about 3 hours. Is that sad? - Nah.

Owen - So Charli pretty much covered the lot there.
We had a good day at Tangmere, didn’t leave there till 3pm then while we tried to get back, we had the most interesting ride home - we took a wrong turning at Chichester because I got distracted by food and Charli - once again - panicked. Then we decided to take country lanes home instead of the A27. We got stuck behind three tractors and it all got quite hysterical. Funny none-the-less. We still sitting listening to the idol ramblings of the commoners around us. All in all a great holiday. I look forward to finishing this document when we get back. I don’t look forward to finishing this holiday. All I have to say is I love camping. Happy holidays.

Final wasp count: 19 dead 1 lost in action presumed dead. Plus 4 flying ants, 2 spiders and 2 earwigs - 1 of the earwigs is not a death we can take credit for, we just found his corpse at peace by our camping stove. None of the creepy little buggers got any where near our grub! Haha!

Camping Adventure - Day Six

Day 6

0600
Food yay! About to get washed then down to the beach at Middleton-on-Sea

2000
Just sat down at the Olive Branch after a day of sun, sea and sand. Seriously good weather today we have had a brilliant day. After we cooked in the sun for a bit, due to the time of year, the tide was in for most of the day and it was quite windy so we left back for the site, its much warmer in land. While at the site i consumed £3 worth of ham and charli fell asleep in the sun. Successfully got one red side of her face! (It was Owens fault - he didn't wake me!!!)

After we were done we trekked to Bognor an had a good wander around finished buying gifts and went to the beach there! We wandered around the fair and mocked the carnies they all looked well skank. Bognor’s not as bad as Littleskankton but the chavs are all well young. We're used to more violent breeds of chav who are bigger and older and usually armed so we were cool.

About 5pm we got chips in Yapton near our site and sat around for a while after that tending to our minor burns. Soon enough being the alchi's we are we started drinking.

When the troll in the office told us she was really busy this weekend she wasn’t joking. In a matter of hours the site has gone from 6 tents and 4 caravans to more like double those figures!!
Wasp count has shot to 15 dead and we are back off up the pub!!

So as the journal draws to a close I would like to say what a nice part of Britain this is it really makes me proud to be a citizen of this country. The South is obviously the best part. We have conversed with the Irish, Welsh and seen many 'Northerners' down here and have come to the conclusion that the South is the best bit of Britain for chilled out folk such as us.

Charli Entry - One of the best holidays i have ever had. We got one more day to go but we have crammed so much into our week that i predict tomorrow will be a beach and general laziness day. Still, a lovely week of sun and rain and camping and fun with the best company i could have had. He’s also an okay-ish navigator but don’t tell him! hehehe! Owen has just gone to get another round in and found the lady of knowledge - her name is Sue - we have been hoping to see her again so we could find out what her name is for blog reasons. Mission complete! So that’s kinda it i guess x x x love to the millions x x x

Camping Adventure - Day Five

Day 5

1900

An evening entry to sum up the day - its been a busy one hence why we haven't a chance to make an entry until now.

We got up quite late today, ate, then left for Arundel. We had a walk around Arundel - its a nice place, lovely views and sights, big hills and stuff. We walked up one of these hills and ended up at the entrance to the castle. we thought we might like to have a look round - might be quite interesting, some opld stuff, a bit of history etc. We then decided that it probably wouldn't be worth the thirty quid entry fee!! We don't care about history and old stuff that much. Thinking that maybe the English Heritage should take this fact into account when pricing up their attractions - its cheaper to research it on the net guys think about it! Madness!! So maybe we will go another time - when we haven't just paid for a holiday.

As we crossed over the bridge we saw a lovely little gaggle of swans - aaaah romantic sigh. We spent a small amount of time watching one which was fighting against the current. It was severely struggling to keep up so Owen took an immense amount of pleasure in mocking it. (I think he was mean - Charli.) We found a few shops but there was only one decent which sold... wait for it... camping equipment! We got a few cool camping accessories and then continued to walk about. We sort of sidled up some little lane-like road where the path is like one an a half peoples wide. We came across lots of posh people (e.g. "i,ve seen this simply adorable picture darling...yup...yup...uhuh...ya and i want it, i want it now darling...ya...ya...yup have the money transferred from my swiss bank account now darling!! etc etc) Halfway up this road we moved aside to let a lady pass she stopped in front of us and frowned and sort of huffed in an unimpressed fashion. Naturally we laughed in her face at her retardedness - no time for these toff-types who think they're better than us just because they are.

We continued walking along this road - after we had calmed down from all the hysterical laughing, to a small pub we had seen earlier, for a brief beverage. After much conversing we moved on and found a bakery, got some pastry related grub and sat by the river to munch. We then went back to chav-central Little-skank-hole aka Littlehampton. We wanted to do the bumper cars and pedal boats for a bit of a cheap kiss-me-quick kind of laugh. We both felt incredibly unsafe in the boats - there was water coming in and if you pedal backwards the whole boat tips up!! EEEK! But we had a laugh nonetheless. The man suggested I was a retard by confusing me with his common dialect - "put the other arm through! No put the other arm through! No put the other arm through!" - how many arms does he think I've got?!? "Keep turning the wheel!! Keep turning the wheel!! Keep turning the wheel!!" My conclusion: they're all carnie retards.

1930
Charli - Just to briefly document some new arrivals at camp. Basically - more 'tards. The red van brigade left this morning and the chav olds also went home taking their gazebo with them.

The new people however really are actual retards. 2 guys and 2 girls. They look older than us, sort of Uni looking people - but sound about 6 years old. They have just closed up their tent for the night but we can still hear their adolescent yowling. Owen thinks they are having some sort of orgy. By the sounds of the female high pitched yelping and squealing, i think i might have to agree.

On the plus side, a happy camper in a veedub has just arrived and i think he will entertain Owen for hours! Dinner was another success. Sausage casserole and mash. yum yum!

Owen - We have had a lovely romantic evening listening to the best of Fleetwood Mac I love my lady and i mean it in a serious way. We have bonded so well over the last few days. I have had loads of fun map reading and being here i can strongly recommend camping with a loved one it's a great way of bonding and it's so much fun cooking on one of those grill things. yay! I love Charli.

Wasp kill count - 12 dead, 1 lost in action, presumed dead - we had a good day for wasp killing!

1030
All of the camp is sleeping now apart from us and the nice older couple round the corner who suggested a few activities for the younger generation and gave us a local paper to look for events. We have had a couple of drinks and had a lovely chat about past, present and as much future as you can squeeze out of free spirit such as Owen. It's been nice. He seems to have opened up and destressed this week. What he previously has entered pretty much sums up our evening I’ll say no more except that i think i could camp with Owen forever! Another drink then bed methinks. 'til 'morrow my good readers. night night x x x charli x x x
