There’s something about this time of year that prompts me to pause and reflect on the previous Twelve months. Whilst I’m not usually one for retrospection, it allows me to remember and appreciate all the things we’ve been able to fit into the year.
Looking back, 2016 has faced us with difficulties and sadness, but on the whole, it’s been fantastic and mostly full of highs. After a difficult few years, being able to look back and feel a sense of happiness and joy rather than sorrow, is a wonderful thing.
We’ve had heaps of amazing opportunities come our way, but we’ve also planned plenty of our own adventues, spending most weekends out and about doing something. As I write this, 2016 is yet to reach a close, so I thought it would be nice to round up 12 highlights from the Camping with Style year.
January 2016
We kicked off the year with a walk up Mam Tor in the Peak District. It didn’t exactly go as planned but it was atmospheric and memorable – See More.
February 2016
In February a last minute mini-break to Morocco meant we got the opportunity to go quad biking in the Sahara desert – See More.
March 2016
At Easter we went on hastily arranged road trip to the Scottish highlands and climbed a mountain – See more.

On my birthday, we went on a Peak District walk, up the Roaches and on towards the magical Lud’s Church – See more.

December 2016
The final walk of the year and one that had been on our list for ages, Dovedale, Ilam & Bunster Hill (where I found no buns and was slighty disappointed), however our stay at Hoe Grange definitely made up for the lack of buns! – See more.
To all of our friends, family and supporters, we’d like to say a huge thank you, and wish you all a fantastic, fun-filled and happy New Year.
