Welcome Anthony. What's the walking and camping like down there?

walks are fairly flat, peatlands and gosford etc, but nice for a family! esp peatlands which runs a small train in the summer, havnt been camping in a while apart from tullymore last year with the wife, had a ball though, she like the warm weather, im more a cold freak but have to say a beer at midnight by a camp fire is great in an weather! lol

Been there during the summer, travelled about a bit. Interlaken area is very nice. Expensive shopping if your into that. Mountains around it are stunning. Makes the mournes look like a trip hazard.
