2 nights

is enough time to spend camping in the garden, the tent works although I wouldn't like to sleep in it anywhere that gets at all cold or too windy as there is a lot of netting and ventilation, definitely a warm weather tent but works well enough for what we need in Summer. Last week we got one of those lights that attracts insects then zaps them with an electric shock, reduced to 4 euros in Al Campo, I really wish I had got half a dozen of them but when I went back the next day there were none left. They work really well in a tent as long as you have a mains electric supply, we heard flies and mosquitoes being zapped all night long and there was a fair collection of them in the bottom this morning including 6 horseflies.

We had planned a lot of weekends away over the last month but illness put the hold on many of our plans however we are still hoping to spend the odd night camping in the hills inland and maybe some sand dune camping too before the boys start back at school on 10 Sept. We would also like to paddle some of the Canyon de Sil; there is so much of Galicia we still need to find our way around and develop a network of favourite spots, that seems essential if we are to feel properly at home here.
