　　Lesson 47 The great escape大逃亡

　　Economy is one powerful motive for camping, since after the initialoutlay upon equipment, or through hiring it, the total expense can be far lessthan the cost of hotels. But, contrary to a popular assumption, it is far frombeing the only one, or even the greatest. The man who manoeuvres carelesslyinto his twenty pounds worth of space at one of Europes myriad permanentsites may find himself bumping a Bentley. More likely, Ford Escort will be hubto hub with Renault or Mercedes, but rarely with bicycles made for two.

　　That the equipment of modern camping becomes yearly moresophisticated is an entertaining paradox for the cynic, a brighter promise forthe hopeful traveller who has sworn to get away from it all. It alsoprovides---and some student sociologist might care to base his thesis upon thephenomenon----an escape of another kind. The modern traveller is often a manwho dislikes the Splendide and the Bellavista， not becausehe cannot afford, or shuns their material comforts, but because he is afraid ofthem. Affluent he may be, but he is by no means sure what to tip the doorman orthe chambermaid. Master in his own house, he has little idea of when to sayboo to a maitre d`hotel.對(duì)旅館管事不滿(mǎn).

　　From all such fears camping releases him. Granted, a snobbery ofcamping itself, based upon equipment and techniques, already exists; but it isof a kind that, if he meets it, he can readily understand and deal with. Thereis no superior they in the shape of managements and hotel hierarchies to darken hisholiday days.

　　To such motives, yet another must be added. The contemporaryphenomenon of car worship is to be explained not least by the sense ofindependence and freedom that ownership entails. To this pleasure camping givesan exquisite refinement.

　　From ones own front door to home or foreign hills or sands and backagain, everything is to hand. Not only are the means of arriving at the holidayparadise entirely within ones own command and keeping, but the means of escapefrom holiday hell are there, outside----or, as likely, part of----the tent.

　　Idealists have objected to the practice of camping, as to thepackage tour, that the traveller abroad thereby denies himself the opportunityof getting to know the people of the country visited. Insularity andself-containment, it is argued, go hand in hand. The opinion does not surviveexperience of a popular Continental camping place. Holiday hotels tend to caterfor one nationality of visitors especially, sometimes exclusively. Campingsites, by contrast, are highly cosmopolitan. Granted, a preponderance ofGermans is a characteristic that seems common to most Mediterranean sites; butas yet there is no overwhelmingly specialized patronage. Notices forbidding theopen-air drying of clothes, or the use of water points for car washing, orthose inviting our camping friends to a dance or a boat trip are printed not only in French or Italianor Spanish, but also in English, German and Dutch. At meal times the odour ofsauerkraut vies with that of garlic. The Frenchmans breakfast coffee competeswith the Englishmans bacon and eggs.

　　Whether the remarkable growth of organized camping means theeventual death of the more independent kind is hard to say. Municipalitiesnaturally want to secure the camperssite fees and other custom. Police arewary of itinerants who cannot be traced to a recognized camp boundary or tofour walls. But most probably it will all depend upon campers themselves: howmany heath fires they cause; how much litter they leave; in short, whether ornot they wholly alienate landowners and those who live in the countryside. Onlygood scouting is likely to preserve the freedoms so dear to the heart of theeternal Boy Scout.
