Why do they always have these offers on during school time? Its not surprising parents are choosing to take children out of school, we have just taken our children out of school for two days but that was because my daughter is in court tomorrow as she is the victim in an assault case and we thought the break would be good for her otherwise I object to disrupting their education. sometimes wish they were pre-school again to take up these offers, lol.

We've got the paper today and when I saw the tent I laughed...for a similar tent for the kids to play in, whilst camping whilst wet, last year cost us £4.99 from Asda.  It'll probably be cheaper this year too!

As for the holiday offer it's good but, as you guys have already pointed out, doesn't help us families really and besides my monster of a tent would be turned away!  Think I'll stick my usual haunt Shell Island, North Wales as I know the tent is accepted there and to be honest I love it there!

Hey Spud, To be honest we've only been to Shell Island with this tent (minimum 20 metres between each tent - therefore massive space per pitch and doesn't matter how much stuff you wanna put up) but we did have problems with our old tent Gelert Michigan 10 (I know another Michigan - which was smaller that this one) due to the size of the tent.  The sites, like the ones on offer in the Mail, have minute size pitches.
