Spent three nights near York (site reviewed 4 weeks ago) Vango Kalu 400 with awning, I do like this tent for short breaks it is just the perfect fit

768

And at night with our new light

768

Found a way of keeping the new connectors off the ground

768

Saw some fossils

768

Son enjoyed finding answers to the pre historic trail

768

Tried to leave him in jail

768

It is a tiring job camping in this sun, this was before I got burnt

768

We did have to pack up and go home though

768

We also visited the Yorkshire Air Museum but I managed to leave the camera in the tent!

Every weekend until the summer holidays is booked up now so no more camping until our big trip of the year (except for our son as one of those weekends is his Cub camp)

Son is doing a good job of looking sad in the jail!

Glad you had a good time. We are trying to find a weekend to camp but with GCSEs, son's residential with school etc it's getting difficult.

I see you managed to sort the extension this time. Was it easy to sort or was there lots of cursing again?

Great pics. We considered going to Yorkshire this year but have changed our minds.

Ah well we had a cunning plan. The tent is easy peasy so we did that and while hubby pegged I did carpets and SIM's, then we connected the EHU and had tea and biscuits. Revived we set about the awning, we put the first pole where we thought it needed to go and pegged through the ring, then walked the second pole forward and did the same. Then hubby tweaked the peggng while I finished the inside. End result was mudflaps that lay on the floor and a groundsheet that fitted
well chuffed

Lovely comparison of day time and night time. Your laddie looked like he had fun! I hope you didn't leave him in the cell too long

Glad the more 'relaxed approach' worked
