My no 1 tip for camping (in the U.K. at least) is to get yourself the perfect blanket.
* You can wrap it round you when it gets chilly.
* Take it to the beach to sit on.
* Wear it as a shawl or cloak around your shoulders.
* Snuggle up in it by the fire at night.
* Add it as an extra layer to the outdoor rugs so sitting out is even cosier.
* If you’re going from fire to bed in the small hours and it’s feeling cold you can put it on top of the duvet (forget about sleeping bags on holiday, make a proper (air)bed with duvet/s and pillows).
Me and my blanket
It smells of fresh air, of sea spray, of woodsmoke.
It is a little rough, a little sandy and very warm.
I’ve had this one a year, so for about four camping trips now and haven’t yet needed to wash it - a good shake and airing outside has kept it looking and feeling good (but it can be washed of course when needed).
