Tent/Camping security in Europe
Hi,
My better half and I have a trip planned for later this year, a long haul tour of Europe.
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden & Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithunia, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Rep, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, back through Slovenia to Italy, France then Spain with a long stop in Andalucia.
We plan to spend 5 months travelling and then 3 months living in the mountains in Andalucia.
We hope to spend most of our travelling time camping, rather than staying in hotels, from a cost point of view. Once we get to Andalucia, we have accommodation arranged.
We have a few questions about camping security:
Will most camp sites let me keep the bike next to the tent?
How safe is it to leave gear in the tent and go out for the day?
If it is not safe in the tent, what suggestions do you have?
Has anybody kept their gear in train/bus station lockers?
We have previously only done short trips to Europe and have always stayed in hotels, B&Bs, etc.. and left the gear in the room.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Dan
