Even under primitive conditions like the campsite of #BestKeptSecret, you want a decent #breakfast: Full English please. It was serial cooking, because I only had 1 burner... Tip: the eggs should go last, because after that the pan needs a thorough scrubbing.

Puristic camping. I like that but my wife not. :)

@Ditje I love primitive camping, always have.

Our family did a lot of camping when I was a kid, and I enjoyed it. Favourite way of going on a holiday for me is to plonk a small tent on the motorbike and go.

And it seems that on BestKeptSecret I've found a couple of fellow bikers who like the idea of a tour through Scotland, so this festival may not be my only holiday this year.

We found a solution for both. :)

Wij hebben een jaarplaats met caravan in Den Haag. Luxe camperen is beter dan niet camperen :D

@Ditje Dat is inderdaad een mooie middenweg.

@hans oh man… those camping sites :-(

i'm spoiled: when you go #camping in ukraine, one of the side effects of the lack of camping infrastructure was… solitude: more often than not, you end up setting your tent in a relatively solitary spot, definitely _not_ with tens of other tents all around you.

now, here in canada, it's (almost always) what you have on the picture: like moving with your whole apartment building, but in tents :-D

nb. kudos for the cooking.

@івась тарасик Well, this wasn't a "real" campsite, it's for a festival. That means they try to squeeze as many tents as possible on a piece of land. It's not nearly as crowded as, for example, the Lowlands Festival, but the density is a lot more than on a normal, real campsite.

I travelled in Canada for 3 weeks, but I had to do that in an RV. Not a punishment, btw, I like driving big, heavy vehicles over unknown mountain roads (yes, I really do).

Ah I was wondering about much small tents in the background. :) Last year?

I took a look for this yeat. Beside the main acts, I don't know any ...

@Ditje No, it was this weekend. This particular photo was shot last sunday.

Today I purchased my ticket for 2024, even though I haven't got the faintest idea of who's going to play. I go to a festival mostly for the festival, not so much for the acts. Point is, there's always something nice to see, and unknown artists can be a real surprise.

Then again, I like to see some big one play every now and then. I was impressed by Rammstein, Green Day and especially Muse, when I saw those on Rock Werchter, several times.

First time I saw Muse live, I was afraid they might not be as good as they are in the studio, but it turned out they are.

So I don't need to think about to go there this year.

They sure are, the flight and the RV were the two biggest expenses of that holiday. Funny that I could drive a 5,5 ton truck in Canada, where my license here only allows me to drive cars up to 3,5 tons.
