Anyway this site is near a enough for me to be able to go to work in the morning & return to camp aftrewards. :D
I'll have to practice putting the Tigris up alone first though, or may have to buy a smaller tent. ;) :tune:


Now that sounds a cracking idea :cool:


I have to agree why not.. I think the idea of leaving work and chillin on a campsite could be no better way unwind and relax!

I got chatting to my new neighbours today, it turns out they are also campers :D They have a folding camper & 2 tents, one of which is a pop-up. They even got the pop-up out to show me how easy it was to put up :D

So not only do i have neighbours that talk, but they are also campers! :clap: :D
Happiness is packing your tent away dry & getting it back in the bag :-)

Just a warning about pop up tents. Easy to put up, flipping nightmare to pack up!

My neighbour is a camper as well. Very handy. Great for borrowing stuff. He has a campervan now, so hoping he might lend me that as well!

It looked ok with 2 people, but it's not like i could just put in the car if i can't get it back in the bag. :think:

Pop-up tents; "Just because you've successfully packed it away once, doesn't necessarily mean you can do so again!"

(I believe they take practise, & I've only tried the 2 man one!)
4 Canvas tents (various sizes)
3 Plastic tents (various sizes)
& 1 Tin tent (yes, I'm a turn-coat, but it has a canvas awning)

My other passion;
My 1983 BMW 525e
