The only problem I have with today's Strands puzzle is that the answers here don't necessarily reflect my own camping experience. Don't get me wrong, I love camping, but surely the answers should include things like ARGUEWITHTHEKIDS, SHIVERINTHERAIN and WISHYOUWEREATHOMEINTHEWARM. But that's Britain.
Anyway, this is a decent edition of Strands, if not overly complicated. The theme clue gave the game away a bit, but there's a wide enough scope for answers that not all of them were obvious.
