Ooo I feel a glow all over, coming back and reading all these nice stories.

Thanks to everyone who has shared a happy tale!

not trying to blow my own trumpet.  Last year we helped people pitch tents and lent people our electric pump ( sat and watched for a few minutes while they used a footpump first )and when we left gave the food away. That's what it's all about isn't it? That's why we love camping.

When I first past my driving test at 18 I took my 65yr old aunt camping to Blackpool for the weekend.  When we got there the  rain stoated  down  nonstop. Soon it became apparent our 3 man tent was letting in water so we resorted to us both plus dog trying to sleep in a tiny Fiat 126.  Two young lads offered us to share their tent which being strangers we declined, still wanting to help  they put their seats down in their estate car, moved it beside our tent and left us their car keys so we could lock ourselves in and feel secure. They made us nice hot tea too.

 We were very grateful! From that day it taught me how helpful campers are with one an other and I try to be a helpful camper too.
