Respect for your comments about too close neighbours. They can be quite annoying. Glad it's not just me who gets anxious about it. I'm there for the scenery and history, not so much for socialising and meeting new friends. Every now and then you'll accidentally meet somebody interesting you can get on with, but that's not what I go to the country for. I'm definitely a Grumpy old man, says the missus. Just nod and leave us be.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes their privacy when camping. I used to try and get a pitch as far away from everyone as possible, and much to my wife's annoyance, the facilities too. Then once on 14 day camp in Yorkshire we were allocated a pitch right next to the toilet block, I bit my tongue and waited to see how long it would take her to start moaning. Within a couple of days we managed to move pitches a good distance away, and I never got moaned at again 🤣🤣

You can check every sone in my videos by going through the video description but only on laptop or desktop I believe. One way that you can download it is to upload a video but as private then open the video in KZbin editor then add audio track then go on the audio library then you can download it directly from there .
