  • Unisex - yay or nay?

    This last few weeks have been manic. Trying to design the ever changing space of The Bivouac site with the restraints and guidelines of funding and planning. It is a crazy process.

    One thing I have looked at are the camping facilities. I have a choice… either separate the males and females and have a small space each, or have unisex facilities and have a really lovely space? I have gone for the latter… believing that folk will prefer this. Each shower will have its own cubicle and changing space.. non of the usual naff shower block experiences you’ve had before. This is cosy, clean, and giving you that extra comfort which you so want when you’re camping. I think you’ll like it…

    But - before I get too far in my planning… can you tell me… would you be happy to do the unisex thing? Or is this just asking too much?!

  • Bubbles…

    I am researching hot tub’s and sauna’s for Bivouac. If only it was a bit more practical.. some of the ideas out there are fab and I’d love a dip!

    The ingredients I am working with are no electric, no building but a beautiful view.

    Ideally I would like one with the real outdoor element and one with a bit more luxury? I have to persuade Sam (Mr tight budget) if we are going to have two. So far I can fit in a natural one with no need for electric - but this means no bubbles!
    Having had a hot tub recently that bubbled - I sat there and thought - some folk may not be satisfied unless they have bubbles.

    Survey - bubbles with less view or view with no bubbles?

  • Swedish Sauna

    Sweden is nice. Here are some photos from a recent trip.

    The building at the end of the pier is a swedish sauna. I really wanted to give it a go but unfortunately we didn’t have time. 

    I think a barrel sauna or two at ‘the bivouac’ would be an excellent idea. Just need to work out the whole nudity policy now!
    Whats worse… Speedos or Nudees?
