Shit HolidaysCamping on a dried-up river bed, we discovered when it rained during the night and half of our equipment and clothes were already most of the way to the Irish Sea why you shouldn't camp on a dried-up riverbed. Tell us about crappy holidays.

Normally I enjoy camping.Not when I have a fractured right wrist and fractured right scaphoid, am 15 1/2 years old, forced to go, it's Whitsun, it's Scotland.
It drizzles morbidly for a week.
I'm stuck in my tent, bored out of my mind with only my radio for company.
Midges and horseflies conspire with each other as to who can bite more.
250yd walk to the bogs.
Showers rubbish.
2 miles to town.
Nightlife?. Midges, horseflies, bucktooth, inbred, knuckle draggers and fucking hikers and twatballing hippies.
Parents, God fuck their souls, enjoyed getting pissed and arguing. Oh, they went out at night and left me in their caravan to watch television. Back to my tent when they got back.
Rained too.
Went for walks. Which hurt the arm much. Couldn't do my favourite seaside activities of cliff walking, rock pool delving and landscape photography thanks to wrist.
Other teen activity?, no. Left hand coordination issues would lead to damage. Girlfriend many miles away.
7 days of pain, confinement to a tent most of the time except mealtimes or to go visit some shitpox museum on tartan pissgravel or the dubious history of the relationship ’twixt the whelk, the limpet and the garfish or to go on a forest walk with cap'n grumpoid Mc'tootbreath and vinegar tits the screechhag bitching at each other whilst each footfall caused a jolt of pain in my wrist.
I don't usually get bitten by bugs. This time, horsefly ( v.nasty ), gnats, mosquitoes and other minute creatures summoned from another dimension.
Usually, I'd be out and about on my pushbike. Not this time.
Good weather = sober parents, because they weren't in each others company.
Then I got the shits. 250yds to the bogs on rough terrain. Take your own bog roll.
Blegh
