The Ultimate Camping Breakfast!

tent On Tuesday some of us are (hopefully!) spending the evening at a tented conference centre in Worcestershire. I say hopefully because over the past couple of days much of Worcestershires been on the news featuring helicopters airlifting people out of floods!

I’m assuming they’ve chosen their location well so that its not subject to the weather - if not it effectively writes it off as a potential venue for us anyway! Lets hope not though because it would be brilliant to get some outdoor based courses back into our programme. The first courses we ran in the Young Movers programme were all camping. During the summer we would run 5 or 6 back to back courses each with 50 people camping in various big tents we put up for the summer. Over each weekend we would stay on in the camp and clean out all the tents - not a pleasant task! Besides knickers & smelly socks other ‘discoveries’ included a dead frog with his tongue hanging out cartoon style who had apparently been the unfortunate victim to a girl who had slept on him for the past week oblivious to her companion squashed beneath her roll mat.

Assuming we are still going on Tuesday I’ll be pulling out all the camping gear at some point tomorrow. I’ve also been thinking about what to do for breakfast! I read an idea somewhere about putting rubbing hash browns in butter and wrapping them in tin foil so that they can be easily cooked on a stove. I’m thinking of adapting that idea and maybe wrapping them in bacon too. Add to that a sausage, some scrambled egg with a little cheese, some plum tomatoes and a bread roll and I think thats something worth looking forward to on Wednesday morning!
