Lesson 47-1 The great escape
Economy is onepowerful motive for camping, since after the initial outlay upon equipment, orthrough hiring it, the total expense can be far less than the cost of hotels.But, contrary to a popular assumption, it is far from being the only one, oreven the greatest. The man who manoeuvres carelessly into his twenty pounds'worth of space at one of Europe's myriad permanent sites may find himselfbumping a Bentley. More likely, Ford Escort will be hub to hub with Renault orMercedes, but rarely with bicycles made for two.
That the equipmentof modern camping becomes yearly more sophisticated is an entertaining paradoxfor the cynic, a brighter promise for the hopeful traveller who has sworn toget away from it all. It also provides---and some student sociologist mightcare to base his thesis upon the phenomenon--an escape of another kind.
