RV FEATURE
Rolling down the back roads of a recent coastal trip in our 4x4 HiAce , around about 4pm , we start looking for yet another idyllic camping spot to pull up for the night . But as is our style of travelling , that overnighter may well turn into multiple nights if it ' s a beautiful spot .
Bingo , Sharyn locates a handful of potential places to call a temporary home via the couple of apps we use .
We ' re generally good at picking a suitable spot , know what to look out for , and certainly what to avoid . We both shook our heads at the first option and spent another 10 minutes finding what we thought was an idyllic , secluded , picturesque camping spot right on the banks of a river .
Happy smiles all round , but that soon changed .
We rarely get it wrong .
Not that we knew it yet , but this was to be the worst camping spot we had ever picked . I mean the nastiest , cruellest , most awful spot ever and by the end of our shortened stay , we were both ready to chew our arms and legs off , as well as dip our remaining parts into , well , anything that would dissolve our pain and distress .
An ocean inlet , combined with mangroves . Midge heaven .
