I had never felt at such peace. Lying there, surrounded by great friends, having heartfelt conversation, and living life the way we were meant to. Next time, we will plan a better location for our sleeping bags. The Chillagoe sun was too much at such an early hour. How I miss Australia.. When will we be able to plan our escape?

purplesue is too much of a boring person and thinks someone will realise
How I did it: im counting this as being in a car with the window open at night and falling asleep, it wasnt recently, when i was a small kid, i was on the motorway back from a long day trip and in the back seat Read how I did it…
Daimys anger is never dishonest
How I did it: I went camping in Everglades National Park with a bunch of really amazing people and I got to sleep as one with mother nature, it was great. The stars were beautiful, like something out of a movie! I recommend this to anyone who thinks theres nothing beautiful in the world anymore! Read how I did it…

I somewhat did this…..me and a bunch of my “friends” deciced to sleep outside the one night and most of them were in a real tent but me and Champ made a makeshift tent and slept in that …..it was only big enought for our heades!!! so I guess this one is done.
not alone of coarse ,but it sounds really relaxing and romantic …but I wonder about how bad the bugs are??...
ok, bit late, but just writing to say i’ve done this one! it was awesome!!
here’s the go:
i went with my ex (good choice of friend to take you say haah)..we caught the train then bus to the beach (neither of us drive) but i think this made it more like an adventure..then we found some free sand (not hard considering it was winter)..splayed our sleeping bags and went for a wander..found a playset near our sleeping quarters which was fun and toilets which were rather handy. the night started a little cloudy, but they moved to reveal beautiful stars..despite being a tad cold we huddled (spooning may have been included)..and the morning sunrise was gorgeous..although we got many strange looks from the early morning joggers haha. i def recommend doing this one! makes you appreciate the world
i’m planning to do this one in my holidays..less than a week away, when i can really enjoy it and not have the stress of exams looming over my head ..should be fun. just have to get a mat or something to lay on, and perhaps a friend for company would be nice
Ok, I’m sure a lot of people would do it in more comfortable settings but here’s my story. Me and my boyfriend had planned on camping beside the sea in Galway, but after a Summer night out we figured it would be warm enough to just sleep in the open. We were tucked beside a mossy wall beside the sea, and everything seemed lovely in our sleeping bags!
Until morning. Morning came with a hangover (our fault, I know), sore backs from the rocks below, a cold/warm sweat and all the grass around us full of icy dew. Also, never underestimate the full glow of the sun tearing down on you at 6 in the morning, making it impossible to keep sleeping!
This may sound good or bad to you, but either way, with all these negative factors for us, it was still worth it. How could it not be?!
