I do enjoy camping. Yes, it\u2019s a bit of a pfaff; everything is a bit of a compromise, nothing is quite perfect, it can be cold, uncomfortable and a bit of a chore. But all of that is kind of fun. Maybe it\u2019s the primal accomplishment of surviving less than ideal conditions that satisfies the inner caveman within us? Whatever it is I do enjoy it. Not that modern camping is anything of a challenge or an accomplishment. I don\u2019t even have to put up a tent. Really it\u2019s just a matter of parking my van and plugging it into the electric hookup. Once that\u2019s done I have proper electricity, a fridge and even gas to cook on – that\u2019s more than we\u2019ve got at home. There\u2019s a toilet block with showers just 100m from my pitch and with the weather set fair there\u2019s really no hardship at all. I\u2019m still camping though and that\u2019s fun right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that I don\u2019t seem to have a tin opener does make things somewhat more challenging, but \u2018hey ho, that\u2019s what camping is all about\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s actually really easy on my own too. There\u2019s plenty of room, things are easier to keep tidy and organised (I like tidy and organised) and I can do what I want when I want without upsetting anyone, without waking anyone up and without bothering anyone. There\u2019s not even anyone there to mock my constant cleaning and tidying or even the fact that I sweep the camper floor every 5 minutes! My OCD is mine alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after dinner it was time to chill in the van, write a couple of blog posts ready for publication and get ready for bed. There\u2019s absolutely no phone coverage here so there was no wasting time on the Internet, no emails to worry about or answer, no messaging loved ones and no tending to my armies on silly games that I play. As a web developer and someone quite heavily invested in tech I\u2019ve always been quite proud of the fact that I\u2019m not on my phone all the time. I resisted a phone with an always-on data plan for years and was quite proud of my ability to switch off. Unfortunately such things are ubiquitous these days and I do have one. I have gradually become more connected more of the time and do use it to keep in touch. I thought it would still be easy to switch off, and it would be were Anna and Morgan here. But now, forced to do so, and all on my own it would be nice just to be able to send a goodnight text message. It would be nice to upload my days activities to Strava, and it would be nice to be able to publish the blog posts I\u2019ve written. None of that\u2019s possible though so I get the camper ready for bed and by 9:30pm there\u2019s little left to do other than read a book and listen to podcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m hoping therefore to get a good nights sleep. The bed is comfy, there\u2019s plenty of room and I\u2019m nice and warm. Everything is quiet. I\u2019ve even turned the fridge down so that it doesn\u2019t make noise overnight. I start to nod whilst reading my book so decide it\u2019s time for sleep. Despite nodding just two minutes earlier I just can\u2019t get to sleep though. I\u2019m rubbish at sleeping! I doze a few times overnight, but never fall asleep properly. The cold I\u2019ve been keeping at bay over the past few days seems to be taking hold too. I\u2019ve now got a headache and feel a little bunged up along with the general malaise and sore throat that I\u2019ve had. In fact the sore throat is now quite painful and swallowing is difficult. I console myself with the fact that such things always feel worse overnight and I\u2019ll be fine in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 4:30am I give up pretending to sleep and get up. Don\u2019t you just love camping!! At this time of day the toilet block is mine alone. The ducks snoozing in the grass give me a dirty look as I pass them. Back at the camper I rearrange things and get the kettle on for coffee and porridge. We\u2019ve moved on from the wonderful invention of pot porridge\u2019s to make our own homemade instant porridge. It\u2019s easy, just mix porridge oats with some sugar and some powdered milk, whizz it all up in a food processor and put it in a pot. Breakfast whilst camping is then just a matter of adding boiling water to some of this in a bowl and hey presto, delicious, healthy, steaming hot porridge in seconds. I love camping!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot food and drinks always make you feel better and when they are made in a field with views over a lake as the sun rises what could be better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don\u2019t help my cold though and I still feel fairly ill. Worse still it\u2019s got to my chest. Anna will no doubt tell me off when she reads this but as I have no reception that won\u2019t be for a while yet. If I waffle on long enough she may not even read the whole blog post so I might even get away with it. But, ever since I had pericarditis quite a few years ago now, any viral infection seems to flare it up. My theory (which is backed up by some research I\u2019ve done on such matters) is that the virus that originally caused the pericarditis is still present in my pericardium. When I\u2019m fit and healthy my immune system keeps it under control and all is OK. However, if I have some other viral infection such as a common cold my immune system gets distracted. It has other things to worry about and antibodies to produce in order fight off this new invader. The virus that causes my pericarditis seizes it\u2019s chance and attacks whilst my immune system\u2019s defenses are down and my heart starts to hurt. It feels as though it\u2019s rubbing against my rib cage. Not much fun. I think the inflammation means my heart has to work a little harder too so it makes me feel a little tired and breathless. Certainly not what I need on a Quadrathlon training camp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan for the morning is a short (30 mile) bike ride at 9:30am. I can\u2019t sit around and not join in so I decide to see how I get on. Jean seems to be a little worried that I\u2019m going to find it all too easy and low key anyway. I\u2019ve already discovered that I\u2019m a fair bit faster at swimming than everyone else, but wasn\u2019t surprised by that. Jean keeps saying that I\u2019ll be considerably faster at everything else too and shows concern that I might not get much from the camp. I\u2019ve reassured her that I can do my own thing if I want and can always make things harder by doing extra if I feel like it. Besides, I\u2019m trying to make it all about pleasure rather than performance these days. Although with the latest viral developments I think that maybe a nice easy paced bike ride will be just the ticket. No racing up the hills and doubling back to do it again today. I think instead I\u2019ll just pootle along with everyone else and give my immune system a chance to do its thing. More coffee, a vitamin tablet, ibuprofen and some time spent fat-fingering this article on my phone and before I know it, it\u2019s 8am and time to start getting ready. It\u2019s a glorious day already. My bike and the hills are calling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
