Lesson 47-3 The great escape
To such motives,yet another must be added. The contemporary phenomenon of car worship is to beexplained not least by the sense of independence and freedom that ownershipentails. To this pleasure camping gives an exquisite refinement.
From one's ownfront door to home or foreign hills or sands and back again, everything is tohand. Not only are the means of arriving at the holiday paradise entirelywithin one's own command and keeping, but the means of escape from holiday hell(if the beach proves too crowded, the local weather too inclement) are there,outside or, as likely, part of the tent.
Idealists haveobjected to the practice of camping, as to the package tour, that the travellerabroad thereby denies himself the opportunity of getting to know the people ofthe country visited.
