Camping is a fantastic way to see the world with spending a
fortune. You have freedom to roam, and you can explore to your heart’s content.
Sometimes, you may choose to chill out on a camping holiday. In other cases,
there may be all kinds of opportunities to try new pursuits and test your
mettle. Are you looking forward to a camping trip this summer? Or are you
planning ahead for 2017? If so, here are some activities to try.
Fishing
Fishing is one of the most versatile sports out there. It’s also
one of those activities, which manages to excite and relax you at the same time.
All you need to go fishing is a permit, a rod, some bait, and a good dose of
patience. You may not catch anything for hours, but the possibility of reeling
in a giant catch will fuel your enthusiasm. If you haven’t been fishing before,
you’ll find some excellent tips and product recommendations at chandlerrodandgunclub.com. You can enjoy fishing with friends
and family or take some time out. If everyone’s getting on top of each other in
the campervan, a fishing trip may be just the tonic.
Hiking
Hiking is a great way to enjoy an all over body workout and take
in the views. If you’re visiting a national park, you’ll often find designated
routes. You can select your path based on the length and the level of
difficulty. If you’re a novice, start with a gentle introduction to hiking. As
you build your confidence and fitness, you can increase the intensity. To hike,
you’ll need sturdy walking boots, layers, and a backpack. Take a waterproof
jacket with you and carry a map. Many of us use our phones to guide us these
days, but you may not always have signal. Check out http://www.backpacker.com/skills/beginner/professor-hike-top-10-beginner-hiker-blunders/

Mountain biking
Do you thrive on a rush of adrenaline? If so, there’s no better
way to spend your time than hurtling down the sides of mountains on a bike.
Cycling is challenging, but it’s also hugely rewarding. You can also enjoy
incredible panoramas from the comfort of your bike seat. If you’re not a
seasoned cyclist, research bike hire before you travel. You’ll need a helmet, a
water bottle and plenty of snacks to keep your energy levels up.
Archery
If you’ve been watching the Olympics, you may have been inspired
to try archery. This ancient pursuit requires patience, composure, and excellent
hand-eye coordination. If you can keep a steady hand and stay cool under
pressure, this could be the sport for you. Most facilities offer equipment hire,
and you can also take advantage of tuition.
Camping isn’t for everyone. But if you’re a lover of the
outdoors, it’s a perfect way to see the world. If you’re planning a camping
trip, why not include some activities and sports in your itinerary? Go hiking,
or jump on a bike and explore the mountains. Hone your angling skills at the
lake or get your eye in with an archery class.
