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!
