The Man in the Tent

My Life under Canvas - The First Four Years

THE MAN IN THE TENT is Tony Beardsall’s lively, informative account of his life since moving under canvas at the age of fifty-one. In this volume he relates the first four years of his outdoor odyssey, from his initial escapist trips, through his gradual move towards full-time outdoor living, to his decision to put the harsh British winters behind him and head off to the more benign climate of southern Spain. Sincere but light-hearted, this memoir recounts his experiences in Lancashire, Yorkshire and Scotland, alongside the mental journey leading to his conviction that a conventional life is no longer for him, despite the well-meaning advice of his family and friends. The second part of Tony's story is now available: The Man in the Tent: My Life under Canvas - Getting Started in Spain
*** The Man in the Tent – My Life under Canvas: Parts One to Four is now available in a single volume at a reduced price. ***
