Re: alternative to camping

My alternative to camping is sleeping in my car.

I have an Astra Estate. The rear seats are split and I lower the double rear seat and place a thick sponge then a 4" thick mattress on the rear area of the car. I also take my quilt and a pillow and if it is cold I also take my sleeping bag. It is long enough for me to stretch out (I am 5' 9") and is very snug.

You stop where you want and you get up where you want to start the next day.

It is warm, dry and comfortable. What more can you ask for?

John
