Editorial

This is the 13th issue of the magazine, which started in spring 2022, 4 years ago.

Next issue will be the start of year 5 and we are changing to 3 issues a year: Autumn in April, Winter in August, Summer in November.

Our Autumn issue will share your stories from the summer camping season: the places, the joys, the experiences, the surprises and the learnings.

The winter issue will showcase the hardy souls who camp all year round, (might this encourage you to try it too?). There will be ideas for the warmer months; advice on the off-season maintenance on your gear.

The summer issue will get to you just before summer starts. We will look at getting going again or getting started. We will showcase different places to go and encourage you to bring your friends, children, grandchildren, in fact anyone you can inveigle, to share the camping experience.

As we move into summer, take photos of your gear, your tents, your clever innovations, your meals, your spectacular surprises. Snap pictures of your catch, the find, the camp, the boat, the view, the walk, the kayak, the swim.

This magazine is BY campers FOR campers. By you. For you.

Your stories are our stories. No camp is insignificant, no story too ordinary.
Share your enjoyment and encouragement so all of us are inspired to get out into our great and beautiful outdoors.
