My only issue with today’s Strands puzzle is that the answers here don’t necessarily reflect my own experience of camping. Don’t get me wrong, I love camping – but surely the answers should include the likes of ARGUEWITHTHEKIDS, SHIVERINTHERAIN and WISHYOUWEREATHOMEINTHEWARM. But that’s Britain for you.

Anyway, this is a decent edition of Strands, albeit not too tricky. The theme clue rather gave the game away, but there’s a wide enough scope for answers that they weren’t all obvious.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
