There are some great campsites around the UK if you know where to look. We've pitched our tent in fields overlooked by majestic mountain views, near fantastic coastlines and earlier this year in a forest campsite near Beddgelert in North Wales. The weekend was an opportunity to meet up with old friends, share some outdoors adventures and have a few drinks. We were the first to arrive and found a secluded corner field bounded by stream and woodland, big enough for the whole group to spread out in. Lots of room for the various kids to run around in, it's amazing how much fun a gang of youngsters can have with just a few sticks! There's even a steam railway station on site and the inevitable train excursion was a must for kids and grownups alike.

With such a big gang of us, we were never going to organise everyone doing the same thing every day. Some people used the sunniest day for a big long mountain hike, some went climbing, some went for gentler activities. Phil wanted to share with me one of his favourite beauty spots, Aber Falls, reached by a gentle walk along a little valley. A perfect place to while away a sunny afternoon, admiring the view, dipping a toe in the rockpools at the bottom and listening to the water falling and breaking against the cliff on the way down. Thanks Phil, that was a nice place.
