A camping trip is a wonderfully relaxing way to get away from the stress of normal life, or at least it should be. The last time I went camping everything went smoothly but my accident prone nature means that camping travel insurance is a must for me.
I started thinking about the kind of thing which could happen to me on my next camping trip and found that the list was pretty long.
The Bad Weather Ruins My Stuff
I do a lot of my camping in Scotland, so bad weather is just par for the course. I am usually pretty careful with my delicate belongings when the heavens open but I guess I could get taken by surprise one day. Can you imagine being caught in a big storm in the Scottish Highlands and then realising that you forgot to take out insurance for the trip?
A Thief Grabs My Stuff
The people I have met while camping have all been really friendly. Well, there was that one guy who tried to convince me that the world was about to end but to be fair he was quite polite about it. However, it isn’t impossible to imagine someone stealing my gear, is it? Actually, it once happened to me when I was travelling but not camping. The heartless fiend only got a rather manky old t-shirt or two but it still made me see that you have to be careful with your belongings. I never take a lot of expensive things with me on my trips but some thieves set themselves low standards it seems.
I Get Sick or Hurt
My notoriously dicky tummy is liable to play up at any time while travelling, I had a rotten episode why on holiday in France. The worst type of accident I have suffered while travelling was a sprained ankle, and I don’t think I would have to claim for that somehow. However, I hate to think what could happen to me if I suffered some major illness or accident while I was abroad. My camping trips don’t actually involve a lot of extreme sports or anything but that doesn’t mean that I won’t come a cropper at some point. I am starting to worry myself so let’s move on to the next point.
I Cause Damage
I have never had to claim in on public liability cover but it could happen at some point, couldn’t it? A lot of these types of cover give you up to a couple of million pounds of liability coverage. I can’t imagine what I could possibly do while camping to cause such damage. I am really quite careful when I set up my tent, so causing multiple car pile ups and bringing tower blocks crashing down seems a bit unlikely. However, I think I better stay on the safe side and make sure I am covered anyway. This way I can travel with a light heart and without any fear of returning home bankrupt. That’s just the way I like to feel on a holiday really.
