Turner’s Torque
Aaargh! A complete blank
I’m not saying I have writer’s block or anything, it’s just that when Muddy Madam reminded me that I still hadn’t written anything for my Turner’s Torque ramblings, my mind was completely blank.
I wouldn’t mind if life was quiet and there was nothing of note to write about, but there’s so much stuff going on that I didn’t know where to begin. It’s akin to staring at an overwhelming pile of work, then grabbing your phone to check out Facebook!
Sometimes all we need is to go outside for a breather and take stock of what’s going on, and on Facebook recently I’ve noticed a lot of groups have been arranging camping weekends that have been well attended, and I dare say very much appreciated.
I was chatting to someone the other day who said they couldn’t afford any of the gear required to do an overnight camp. In reality, what do you need for a mini adventure? Something to lie on, something to sleep in, water, food and a small stove and some gas. Heck, simplify it more and all you need is a match or two, a grill and some firewood.
On the subject of adventures, there is plenty of things to do throughout June (which you can find on our What’s On ’22 web page) including the Adventure Overland Show on the 4-5th June down at Stratford-upon-Avon.
I’m not sure if I can make it this time ‘round, which is a shame as it’s always a belter of a show. There’s loads going on, from music and trade stands to some of the most amazing display vehicles that are guaranteed to get your adventure juices flowing.
Oh, and don’t forget, if you want to help keep The Mud Life 4×4 Magazine free, then buy a couple of our ultra-stylish Mud Life stickers for your car, laptop or suitcase, buy a stylish T-shirt or hoodie from our Live The Mud Life shop or even better, please support us via our Ko-Fi page!
