Scoop:
I’ve just come back from a blustery weekend with friends camping that was booked last year and in light of restrictions lifting we were giving the green light to go. It was great to get a change of scenery and share a drink in person with friends, although after reading this article, I think we chose the wrong location. I’ll be upgrading to a house with a beach next time around.
