My first company @twitch sold for a billion dollars.

My second one lost $75 million in 36 months.

People love talking about success, but today I'm going to talk about failure.

It's time to be honest about Atrium:

And he's off! Damian started his journey at 6am on the west coast, at St Bees and here he is in Nanny Catch Ghyll, approaching Ennerdale Bridge.

Good to talk about 'pop-up' camping with Gordon yesterday. There are plenty of brand new places opening up this year.

[Gordon Sparks @SparksyOnRadio]

Would love your funny camping (or possibly mishap) stories on this morning's @BBCDevon Breakfast Show.

I'll be chatting with @jimwarnersmith of Cool Camping as the Government's passed legislation for pop-up campsites.

First #camping trip of 2021 today. That's worth returning to Twitter for! ⛺ Patchy weather and plenty of mud. The season is here! 🙌

@Cathman @cool_camping No worries 👍 Yes, if you need any stats on holiday bookings being through the roof I'm also your man. Camping is the nation's new toilet roll/self-raising flour right now.

@cool_camping @Cathman My ears are burning.

[Cool Camping x Hipcamp @cool_camping]

Camping? In the cold? Are you mad!? Cool Camping editor James chatted to @BBCRadioKentAG this morning about tips for autumn #camping & how to holiday this half term. Catch up at 3hrs 40mins... https://t.co/5NnCDAKNTg

[James Warner Smith @jimwarnersmith]

Camping industry made it through what turned out to be a busy summer. New restrictions are sure to hamper autumn bookings, particularly half term (previously looking quite positive). But interest for 2021 remains extremely high as @GuardianTravel reports. https://t.co/J4CQfpqZNM

[James Warner Smith @jimwarnersmith]

Not at @TheGlampingShow in person this year but will be participating via the virtual show. Do say hi if you're logged in. Will severely miss lunches in the @FarmersFayre farm shop though :(

Chatting to @TVNaga01 in the pouring rain about camping in the pouring rain (while wearing some strange pouring rain clothing) this lunchtime. On top of Bamford Edge in the Peak District. The perfect setting for a rainy broadcast!

It was a lovely sunset in Torridon last night but I just didn’t feel like getting out of the tent to take photos.

[James Warner Smith @jimwarnersmith]

Fantastic stay under moody skies at @twiteystipis near Stratford-Upon-Avon. Beat the rain for the most part & found a perfectly secluded wild swimming spot.

[James Warner Smith @jimwarnersmith]

Plenty of great tips here for first timers, including some of my own. And a few more good’uns in some of the readers’ comments. ⛺️ #camping
